On the flip side, it can be good for the environment.
Instead of spending tons of resources burning a car or doing a bunch of setup to get a shot, we can prompt it using relatively fewer energy resources.
I'm confused– you wrote as if you didn't have competitors and had a new category, but it seems like you did have competitors, and just changed the pricing from variable to flat-rate pricing.
Wouldn't that mean that you did enter a validated market with competitors? So there must be some other reason you didn't get revenue?
It never claimed that pairing the board helps with straights, only that some straights were potentially completed.
Ironically, the example you gave in your point was based on a fundamental misinterpretation error, which itself was about basing things on fundamental errors.
??
It says that "Turn card pairs the board" (correct!) which means that there already was a ten(T), and now there is a 2nd ten(T) on the board aka in the community cards.
Obviously, a card that pairs the board does not introduce a new value to the community cards and therefore can not complete or even help with any straight.
Glorify? This seems way too serious a take on a game that young males play because of a common, innate fascination with guns and soldiers. 99.9999% of them do not turn into manic killers who just love to kill and glorify it.
> because of a common, innate fascination with guns
Your brain after 200+ years of american propaganda... it's innate in the sense that you're bathed in it from birth through movies and games, and that a good chunk of your economy relies on producing weapons and using them.
Yet most computer games employ firearms and the targets are other humans, rarely (but of course not never) you hunt and gather food for survival. Don't get me wrong, I played my fair share of games from the earliest 8bit machines in the eighties to modern day shooters but in my opinion glorification comes unintended and killing is a cheap game mechanic, and has always been: here, in backwater European country, middle of nowhere, we have zero domestic gun violence, maybe even 0.0001% is just too much.
And yet the US does have a serious problem with (mostly) young males turning into manic killers.
I'm reminded of that scene in Michael Moore's Bowling for Columbine where he's asking a concerned adult where the violence comes from, and the concerned adult looks sad and confused and says he doesn't know, even though he's standing in front of a nuclear-tipped missile being assembled at the local nuclear-tipped missile plant.
Financialisation is indirect personal violence instead of physical violence. The US doesn't have a problem with that at any scale, as long as the right kinds of people are doing it.
Just watched his last stream that people were talking about on reddit, and his behavior was definitely strange. Saying random stuff then nodding off halfway, and being aggravated to put it simply.
You are so brave. I get like 8 spammers calling me daily about loans like I owe them money, and that's without blasting my phone number out to the internet.
If you're not using it yet, then I recommend enabling the call screening feature on your phone, it has basically reduced my number of spam calls down to zero. It's available on iPhones and pixels and Samsung phones(and probably others?)
I started receiving spam calls lately again but I was just denying the calls. It was with a predictable frequency few times a week.
weeks ago I decided to use screening call, and maybe it was a coincidence, after the first usage I've not no more calls from them
How do dealerships get away with essentially passing on the downside and risk of warranties to mechanics?
Shouldn't it be the business that's shouldering the variability in income due to warranties, since they're the ones that sold the cars with them?
It seems similar to a hypothetical restaurant selling memberships with food, then paying workers less when customers buy food with the membership discount.
Because dealerships sell cars but don't build them. The warranty really should be from the manufacturer, not the dealership.
They get away with passing the risk because they're already apex parasites who have successfully inserted themselves between carmakers and customers, and lobby like crazy everywhere to protect their position.
In every aspect of their operations, dealerships are useless parasitic middlemen who provide no value to customers and exist solely because of protectionist legislation that they pay for with their rent-seeking. Why would you expect repairs and warranty claims to be any different?
