It works in the sports card industry because owning the rare card is the entire point of the hobby. The vast majority of people buying comic books plan to read them and the majority of the people buying WotC products want to be able to use

I feel like in 90% of Starlinks use cases it is only the best option because they are the most motivated to succeed. Running traditional wired service is the more practical and permanent solution but the telecoms have made far to much mone

Adequate is the key word here. The company I work for has two office in the same city, one has a Keurig and the other has a large drip coffee brewer and a large can of Folgers. The pods are always drinkable, while the drip coffee will vary

I hated Steam at first, but purchasing Half-Life 2 on launch day and then being unable to play the single player game you physically had in your hands because the servers you need to login to were overload will do that to you. Overtime they

I've heard talk of the great idiot theory of history, and I think it has merit. As many have pointed out, the great men of history more often than not are channeling the historical momentum of the time period, where there are many chas

Holy crap, that one that flat out says 'We are not responsible for what you do with this camera'. Usually that is something they slip into the fine print, not make the main point of the advertisement.

I've had to explain to my father so many times that just because you've bought something off of Amazon does not mean that you bought it from Amazon. They really should have a separate store front for 3rd party sellers.

It's hard to make any sort of argument towards piracy being immoral when stuff like this is allowed to happen.

I read Solaris and Cyberiad back to back without realizing they were by the same author. I'd recommend both.

The OP did say that the slag was processed to remove everything that can be reused. I would imagine whatever is left over heads to a landfill, but at that point it is at least mostly bath water.

I remember playing Chrono Trigger on a emulator and it took me a while to realize that the fog in the future era was not suppose to be completely opaque.

I have nothing against online appointments and the need to use a email address to create one. My issue was that I was there in person cash in hand and they seemed to have no way to proceed with doing business with me without a email address

Back in September I went out to get a haircut. My usual barber was swamped with kids due to back-to-school so I decided to try out a different newer place that was just up the block. They advertise that they offer online appointments and wa

Sturgeon's law ("ninety percent of everything is crap") is well known, and a lot of money has been made and time spend consuming a significant chunk of that 90%. AI only needs to be better than 90% of that 90% to succeed.

I built a new computer a few months back and made the mistake of buying Windows 11. The amount of effort it took to get to work the way I want made me really feel like I could have just spent the same energy on a Linux operating system. Tha

I basically ran my Galaxy S9 into the ground before replacing it last January. I replaced it with a Xperia 1 III because I didn't see the point of paying a extra $500 to get the IV. The new phone runs noticeably smoother than the old p

I'd also add try and give monetary support content creators that you enjoy. Consuming things for free then relying on ads to pay the people that make things is part of how we got to this point. Also in response to your edit, isn't
