“It is far cheaper to fly on a midweek day than on a friday or sunday”

There is a “We may earn a commission from links on this page” disclaimer on the top right of the page.

I’m sad that ads no longer involve reading.

I post this only teasingly:

My Hyundai Elantra GT Sport (2018) also has great adaptive cruise with the same thing - toggles on the steering wheel. Set it, and then up and down in 1 or 10 kph increments. Honestly, I think most the hate for cruise control comes from people used to cars before the adaptive cruise stuff that you can adjust from the…

Adaptive cruise control is the shit. I just pick my highway “adopted car parent” .. like, “Yeah, I wanna go the same speed that person is going” and driving 3 hours to the cottage is pleasant.

Americans be shoppin’ (for basic non-discriminatory healthcare)!

The years of inconvenience/consequence some people are willing to submit to just to slake their fleeting thirst for retributive action will never cease to impress me.

It’s what animals do. People are animals. I don’t say that pejoratively - just that a bunch of our baseline behaviour is rooted in the fact that we’re biologically social creatures.

This boat was going to sell for 67 million dollars before Eric Schmidt backed out. $2000 a day is pennies. If it sells for half of that, that would still cover 16,000 days (43 years) of sitting around doing nothing.

Hook, line and sinker, I see.

“If they were spending more money than they were bringing in, and have been this entire time”

because it doesn’t cost much? because the majority of the player base moves from year to year? because .. I mean to me it amount to “why not”. It’s not a lot of money to me, and I would imagine to a lot of other people too. I’m not saying it isn’t a lot of money to others’ - obviously it is. But I would reckon there…

I’m impressed this is your take after you wrote 5 “guy at party nobody wants to talk to” paragraphs above. The general consensus - I don’t appear to be alone on this - seems to be that it might be better for everyone if you were the one that went away :)

I totally get it. One day you’ll be a “rich people” and you might as well get ahead of the “getting your rich people feelings hurt” thing.

Games are not “more profitable than ever”. The market is bigger, and the biggest fish make more money than ever, but the same reason you can say “games are more profitable than ever” is why the words “games are more money losing than ever” is also true.

*higher prices for the non-programmers. We programmers make tons of money (although to be fair there are not enough of us and studios fight over us senior ones so that certainly keeps upward pressure on wages)

That’s not bad at finances. That’s bad at controlling your own actions. It’s not like people like this don’t know that they shouldn’t be doing it - it’s that they can’t help themselves. Getting what you want is a compulsion.

They don’t need people to buy more than one. Obviously, they wouldn’t complain if you did, but the entire purpose of these “special new coke flavor” campaigns is to get as many people to buy it at least once out of FOMO.

You can pry this libertarian utopia out of my cold dead ha - CRUNCH
