That’s where you are wrong. People are demanding free rather than cheap. Those other vaccines where they are cheap and your carrier waives co-pay are not free. They are cheap.

Price is $79.97 and the disocunt is more than 15% but it still comes to $60 and change.

You’d be surprised how much a good laugh can cost you though.

“Kinda like how peds in Driver and Crazy Taxi can always jump out of the way.”

To add to that he says it is easier to pronounce gif as a word than an acronym.

Do most people pronounce it with a hard G? I’ve run about 50-50 give or take 10% at any point. I’ve always been soft G, and was aware of the choosy developers choose gif joke. 

Oooh I forgot about FOOF. That page is great. A couple pull quotes to sell it for the fence sitters.

What good is being woke if you can’t complain that the patriarchy doesn’t value the work of women like stay at home moms, and then turn around and mock them for being stupid five seconds later?!?!?

modified food starch is #4 on the ingredient list. It’s probably a modified tapioca starch. That’s what makes it viscous.

Battery efficiency going up ~7% per year is basically a lie. It’s the lie of looking at all battery technologies historically and averaging. What really happens is we shamble along at minor increases in efficiency and then get a new commercially viable battery chemistry which gives a big jump and then putter along…

Your rollable tv doesn’t have a touch interface. Hold up a sheet of paper on it and draw a couple of buttons. Now poke those buttons. You’ll get the gist of the shitty experience.

Everyone wants all the screen they could want with none of the size. The question is if having something that is twice the price and the thickness of a cigar case when folded is actually what people want.

I read a very interesting article on this with a veteran of the plastics recycling industry, and after reading it I honestly thing we need to rethink our recycling strategy and revise it, especially after just bulk shipping stuff to China for “recycling” broke everything and then came to a crashing halt.

You know why your list of diseases weren’t a total nightmare it was because we acted... whats the word... paranoid about the risk and took steps to mitigate the danger.

Electric for cooking isn’t too huge a deal, but electric for heat and cooking and everything else is a big deal to the grid. Which means to switch you need to roll out per house solar, or build co-gen plants. Building out co-gen in developed areas usually means smaller is better. And that means natural gas most…

While I don’t want the ceiling to be regulated, it would be nice if something happened to bring a good selection of reasonably powered beginner and intermediate bikes to the US.  It’s gotten a little bit better recently, but it seems like the over 50hp over 500lb offerings from one big maker outnumbers the the…

While I do not like the facing seats with joe random stranger on the train, I like them a lot with family and friends.

I’d rather have the lifted wagon or hatch aesthetic if we do.

Is the buyer without fault in this? No. However is the behavior unethical on the part of the dealer? Yes. Being the one involved in this on a daily basis with potentially naive customers, they should not be recommending the practice without fully explaining the repercussions.

Sponsors will back a gimmick. But that gimmick has to get attention, and that attention has to come form a sufficiently valuable demographic.
