Honor among thieves is a myth. It would be funny if they did release it, not only as an outing, but a way of making a lot of personal enemies, that have no ethics in solving a particular problem.

I call it residents paying the price. I'm sure everyone else not affected is calling it "payback".

Not creating content for the entitled frees up a lot of "precious" time as well. Funny how a focus on "I" means in the end the "WE" suffers.

That's an awful lot of faith to put in VCs and it would be a poor assumption that if they did that would make them your friend.

To bring back an old argument, WE aren't a lost sale (viewer). WE never counted in both arguments. Answer to both has always been pay attention to actual customers. WE aren't them.

"WE" wouldn't have made anything if someone didn't offer a free platform to place things. That applies to social media as well as video hosting sites. "WE" would have never spent a penny of our own money to create any of the infrastructure involved. A lot of the WEs making the site what it is because they got PAID from ads and other means. e.g. Patreon. The larger WE are just eyeballs who don't know how good they have been having it.

Ah betting on human nature to share, except when that generosity negatively affects their own experience of the internet. I'm sure there's a reason we all don't have open-WiFi.

Might be the hydraulics part. Today it's all about electric motors in various forms.

Funny how you argue "not true" when there are a lot of manufacturers in the US. You know a lot of eclipse glasses are made in the US.

Drop-shipping from manufacturer cuts down on warehouse needed and may be closer to customer.

Looks like Walmart gets a new reseller then. Amazon screw-ups help grow their business.

Review blending. One of the reasons when I review I mention things like model numbers so people will know what I'm talking about.

Newegg burned me but it wasn't on counterfeit but wrong item. Sent back and got charged on the return. Got correct item from manufacturer recommended supplier.

Used, returned, and of course box damaged during shipping. The latter can yield some good deals. Refurbs as well if the manufacturer does them.

Whatever. The problem is that nuclear isn't enough of a solution to save us. People waited too long, plus there's still lots of climate affecting emissions happening that this initiative will not change.
