And the real monetary issues are that the free market has spoken and the businesses, instead of listening to this Free Market that they worship so much, have instead propped up a failure of a decision for no reason other than they've already spent a bunch of money on it.

If MY business failed because I stuck too hard to a sunk cost fallacy, nobody would give a shit. So why is it a problem here? They should have invested better, or at the very least, seen which way the wind is blowing and adapt appropriately.

Sure, and you don't accomplish that by insulting all your employees. This guy shot himself in the foot with a howitzer.

Remember, if you are getting something for free (including a discount) in exchange for using an app, you're paying for that in data.

Some people don't care about that, lots of people care an awful lot about that. Sure you'll get a McDouble for cheaper but you'll also be receiving scam phone calls every day for the rest of your life as McDonald's sells your personal data to anyone who bids for it.

Honestly, still beats dying of preventable disease because of fear of the bill afterward. At least this way I can die of a preventable disease due to patient backlog.

Nah that's what our 8 men are for. Someone got there to take a shit originally, someone ought to be able to get there to retrieve it.

In what ways? Genuinely curious, I've been using Firefox as my daily driver for most of a decade and haven't even looked at other browsers recently because it's never given me a problem or lacked a feature.

Elemental type coverage isn't really his thing, that's for the nerds to worry about

He has not at this point yet fallen in line, however. I believe in giving credit where it's due, and however low the bar he has passed, he has in fact passed a bar that most of his colleagues stumble on. I have high hopes for this guy. I'm by no means a republican, but I'd like to have a political opponent who doesn't outright disgust me with blatant disregard for sanity, law or truth. This man is attempting to move people in the correct direction, currently speaking. We will see what the future holds for him.

It can legitimately be argued either way, which I think is fun. Obviously the play is from the point of view of Hamlet, so we're expected to roll with the assumption that he's really really speaking with ghosts. But it could just as easily be stress induced delusions.

Years? Give me 8 good men, three months, and a little discretionary spending and I'll have all the shit off that mountain. We'll carry up the components to build a small trebuchet and launch platform, pieces at a time over several ascents, and once it's built proceed to sling all the shit 350m off the side of the mountain. It'll be easier to clean up once it's collected at the base and people aren't risking death just to get to the area it's in.

For a real professional amount of money, we can airdrop the trebuchet materials with a heli and only make one trip up for construction and operation.

It's bad form to name a place after another place.

Kicks New York, New Hampshire, and New Mexico under the rug

Except there isn't, therefore, the repeal of Roe v Wade is, literally, killing women.
