Amazon keeps flagging my orders as suspicious then cancels them. Worst part is it takes nearly twelve hours before they do that, so it's a waiting game. After I confirmed the payments were no longer pending with my bank, I re-did the orders, but Amazon also sent me a confirmation of delivery for the first canceled order... Third time's the charm, right?
I think they assigned a lot of back end stuff to an "AI".

Then the AI umpire would agree. And when the opponent appealed for the original ruling, the umpire would agree again.

/. autists like us are the exception. Most people, if given the disposable income will spend it on something flashy with depreciating value instead of a solid investment like Magic The Gathering Cards.

You can hear the difference by flipping them too. More danger of them rolling under something that way though.

I still see cash and coin, but I haven't seen an actual silver coin in the wild for at least thirty years now.

Prepare for decades under the red glow of an Ur-Quan Kzer-Za planetary shield, fellow humans.

First of all, what is a "severe" type I diabetes? Type I has only 1 level of severity: total.

Yes, exactly. Best Buy got Napster because they bought Roxio - the CD-Burning software company. LOL. "Roxio Toastt". Roxio was the first vulture to pick the bones of the original Napster, buying branding assets when the feds shut it down.

Invented virtualization.

Doesn't ANYBODY but me remember that "Napster" was actually RealNetworks? You know, the old Real.com that was the Internet's first scale, commercial streamer? Real became Rhapsody for several years. Rhapsody had no name recognition, so they bought the Napster name from it's owners... BEST BUY.

It gets weirder. Rhapsody had been Sonos' partner streaming service - and Rhapsody is also... I HEART RADIO. Now the whole Napster lot got dumped in the lap of venture capital vultures.

I REJECT your reality and substitute my own.

My Briefcase was like Dropbox for your 3.5" floppy disks. I think I upgraded to a Zip drive around that time. YIPPEE!

Without oil, we lack lubrication for mechanical things, plastic for wire covers, and many other things besides energy. Why, Red Dye 5 is petroleum based, and I don't see that getting banned anytime soo... oh. There may be (more recent) plant-based options for the dye, but plastics and lubricants made from petroleum usually have a much longer lifespan.

Government sponsored lotteries are worse than a tax. There are whole departments set up using most of the lottery income to pay staff and advertising budgets. How much of the lottery profit goes to pay for things the community needs, like say... help for gambling addiction?
You could add a line on your state's tax form saying "donate a dollar to X fund" and net more money, even if only 5% checked the box, but i suppose someone's friend would lose their job in the lottery commission.
