The problem is that practice isn’t seen as posh and a lot of supermarkets present themselves as cool, hip places to shop. They also sell boxes and packing material, something they would sell less of if they gave boxes away at the front of the store.

The only brick and mortar store I have seen that did that was a locally owned grocery on the “other side of the tracks” in the town I grew up in.

I vaguely remember some retcon where the Expanse is largely in the Romulan Neutral Zone and that’s why we don’t see it again even though it’s supposed to still exist in the time of the Enterprise-J.

I am sure they can find a reason to discharge people.

How?

What does this even mean or have to do with what I said?

Amazon is a technology company now. For a long time the storefront and logistics have been a tech demo for Amazon Web Services.

For instance: FreeRTOS

I would prefer to go back to that than to need to spend $500 to replace the proprietary LED module that cars have these days.

I am making an assumption but I would guess that it’s going to be really hard to come by spare parts like the LEDs in 10 or 20 years. While some company will still be making those rectangular headlights.

It’s not a personal account if she identifies herself as the CEO.

Edit: The people downvoting me maybe forgot what happened with Proton and their CEO.

In this case brevity is not the soul of wit. It was a dumb reply to a comment that didn’t deserve one to begin with.

It takes all kinds to make a world; There are even people who don’t like chocolate and would just prefer the peanuts…

His reply is moronic… but “No ❤️” isn’t a great reply either.

They don’t look the same and it doesnt look like differences that can be explained by photoshop.

That’s not the same nose and the spots are gone. All this really tells me is that image was used to train.

Modern rockets have only been a thing for 70 years. 8 years is nothing. That would be like saying Rivian or Tesla can’t compete with Ford because they haven’t been making cars as long. Tesla didn’t have to spend a decade making the Model A or T before it figured out how to make cars effectively. Honda will also be able to spend less time making it to orbit than SpaceX did.

I forgot about those! I totally had some as a kid, you have brought back some memories.

Fair enough.

there hadn’t really been decades of enshittification of gaming at that point

I would argue that is exactly what companies like Softkey and PopCap were doing well before 2009.

Microsoft wanted to start tracking logins and program launches well before Windows 8 but were prevented from including things like the .Net Passport in Windows XP due to an injunction in 1998.

Even crap like BonziBuddy was getting slapped on the wrist for collecting information on people under 13 in 2004.

FarmVille was just one of the first to get away with it.

I don’t think they do actually. Most of the super religious people in my family are Southern Baptist, they all firmly believe that they have a duty to spread the word of god because everybody living has to have been given the option to accept Jesus before the rapture can happen.

They are seriously a death cult who seriously want the rapture to happen and seriously believe they have a part in making it happen.

I think I would be more okay with having to undo a screw or two as long as it was still just as easy to get the battery out. The way the Advance SP and DSs handled it. Lithium batteries are slightly more unfriendly to being handled than AAs and this is a device aimed at children. Your point stands though.

I am not sure. FarmVille seems to me more like the logical (for capitalism) conclusion of decades of enshitification in the casual gaming space.

Games for attention harvesting had been tried before too. MSN Messenger and AIM both had built in social games with ad space back when they were the shit. Windows ME, XP, and Vista even shipped with some of them built in.
