Mic. It's short for "microphone", not "Michael".

Stop posting AI slop. Why are you doing this? Do you think other people who like AI slop can't ask the same question?

What if a somewhat lanky fugitive broke into my car and glued the accelerator to the floor as a side quest on his mission to get the band back together and save the old Catholic school?

No they're not. You're exaggerating. The majority of these developments are still empty. China's declining birth rates coupled with the increased mortality from COVID have thrown in a monkey wrench into their planning. Up to 80 million units are still empty, with slim prospects for ever being bought or even used as social housing. Most of them are just crumbling ruins at this point. Even where people have moved in (often with heavy government subsidies, essentially turning units into an eastern Section 8 housing project), occupancy is still under 10%. They simply built too many units, and there aren't enough people to live in them. Some developments are being reclaimed for agriculture, with farmers grazing livestock and plowing fields on the strips of land between crumbing concrete structures.

The Bellamy brother and John Anderson say it well...

One Plus Tab2
I've had one for about 10 months now and I really like it. Good picture, decent sound, an active bt stylus, and a really solid feel. It was not cheap, but not in the Samsung Tab or iPad range.

A good point, but thinking on the marginal transactional costs to process a sale of additional items after one, people deliberately buying two items to 'stick it' to the business and get maybe 5 cents off their purchase is actually benefitting the business, and the customer spending more time figuring out the exact cost before checking out than the five cents are worth.
Basically, I figure that the business could outright discount every item after the first by 5 cents, and still profit more per item when people are buying 3-4 items at a time rather than one.

I doubt that, especially with varying sales taxes screwing with things.
The draw to price everything in .99 is too high. Or even .95 or .97.

A lot of studies of paper vs plastic bills are looking at paper bills using scrap cotton and linen fibers and still having wood pulp.
US bills use the premium stuff and are 0% wood pulp. As a result, our paper money lasts as long on average as the plastic bills.
The math changes when one considers that we don't have to import our fibers into the country and can thus get the good stuff for less than other countries pay for scrap.

That's probably part of it but I'd bet on no ego...

The pirates were already pirating, they are already lost. A few former customers will go pirate but most will just do without. Not that Disney is going to do anything but lose their A$$ off. YouTube will just keep churning out petabytes of junk...

You do know what direct line of sight is, yes?

Go look at some airplane designs from profile view and note the engines hang well below the fuselage, thus meaning one can blow and throw shrapnel straight at the opposite engine.

In fact, the FAA has reports of exactly this happening.

Why don't you kikuyu them off your grass.

Odds are if you really push it just sounds an obnoxious alarm while letting you out. Kind of like pushing against the gates at my walmart to go out the entrance area rather than the checkouts.
I just give zero hoots and do it anyways.
