But as responsible consumers, people need to stop preordering games. All that does is make it easier for publishers to give you crap, since you already paid them up front. Make the companies earn your money!
Does that apply to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Some of the prices here look kinda steep: https://robertsspaceindustries...
Somehow that reminds me of this: https://xkcd.com/606/
BTW I'm still playing Guild Wars 1 - an old good but dying game...
It's more like hoarding: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
A feature of hoarding is that it leads to an inefficient distribution of scarce resources, making the scarcity even more of a problem
It's in the interests of the city to have parking spaces that are used for only as long as they are needed.
Allowing this "auctioning" thing causes parking spaces to be held longer than otherwise just so that someone can try to make money from it.
There is no significant increase in efficiency if parking spaces are in great demand - the moment you leave your spot, someone else is likely to take it. And even if there is some inefficiency there are other ways of solving it without this auctioning.
As long as voters can still vote and elections aren't terribly rigged/diebolded, I don't really consider protests that hold public spaces hostage a good thing. It's fine if they rented out a public space (stadium or field) for their "event".
If you want to protest publicly you could wear a particular hat, shirt, colored item, etc as a sign of protest and move about without preventing others from going about their normal daily lives. Causing massive disruption does not endear me to your cause. If you let random bunch of people start disrupting stuff, you cause problems for everyone else - and another bunch of people might start to do similar or _worse_ things if they disagree with the first bunch.
There are additional/alternative ways of communicating and spreading your message. Many people claim social media is useless -tweets, facebook shares, etc. But there are a number of governments that don't think so: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

And looking at various "campaigns" social media can actually be useful.
It's a different case if people don't have other options- they can't vote and communications are blocked/censored.
I'm not saying you should eat stinking fish oil tablets, but them stinking should not affect their effect on the body.
Citation please? What makes you so confident that's true? Fish oil oxidizes easily.
The smell is at least partly due to oxidation: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pu...
Effects of oxidized fish oil:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pu... (affects lipid profile)
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pu... (but does not affect oxidative stress markers)

I take vitamins because they are relatively cheap, but I'm not sure I see the point of fish-oil capsules, especially with the bad breath and indigestion that comes with them.
If you're getting bad breath from your fish-oil capsules, it may be that they contain oil that's _rancid_ or oxidized.
Bust open a capsule, if it stinks, it's rancid and you shouldn't be eating it anymore than you should be eating rotten fish. Or expecting it to convey health benefits anymore than rotten fish would. Fresh fish doesn't stink - might just have a mild fish smell. Same goes for fresh fish oil. If you eat sashimi or ikura you'd know what I mean.
The big problem is it seems that rancid/oxidized fish oil is not that rare. That's why I don't have that much confidence in those fish oil studies - I don't see much checking on the oxidation/rancidity of the oil.
So it may be that fish oil is good for you, but only if it hasn't gone bad.
The foreign countries might already have similar tech, maybe even years ago:

If we would be able to break these theoretical speed limits, this would automatically imply we would also be able to travel through time or at the very least send messages into the past.
But in our universe is there really a Time dimension to travel through to the past?

I've never found it convincing that there is a past to go to, at least from the perspective entities in our universe bound by its laws (from the perspective of "someone outside" running the "simulation/VM of our universe" all bets are off
Or India but your mileage might vary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
