Comment Re:All copper is "oxygen-free" (Score 1) 68

It has to do with the refining and production process. Sure all copper is pure, but the reality is that extraction and production into a usable object without introducing unwanted contaminants or trapping air within the produced object is not a simple task. Some contamination is not even a problem for most uses of copper, but not here.

Comment Dumb precedent. Addiction is on the user. (Score 0) 112

I can buy cigarettes, alcohol, and any number of things that can become addictive. Yet things like alcohol addiction are still the user's responsibility.

Unless they want to claim social media is like a bar tender that didn't cut someone off or take their keys. Then maybe.

Stop with the excuses. Personal responsibility is still a thing, if you are under age then that responsibility falls on the parent.

I feel boxed in. It's ridiculous a this point. On a widescreen window, which most use unless they are phoneying - they take up 1/4 of the screen. The Retool ad doesn't even work right with Chrome's zoom set over 100% AND it's sucking up an entire CPU core doing ??? a glistening effect? FFS.

Comment 'Your car has great new features.' (Score 1) 119

Oh boy, I can't wait to see this pop up on my screen every month with updates and feature erasures of which I didn't request. I like Android, but just like everything else it's the naggiest piece of wares you can get stuck with, and that's just the base system.

- Oh that feature? It was removed because our data showed only 49% of people used it.

Comment Re:Product returns (Score 1) 26

The only time I return anything is if it is clearly broken on arrival, that was many years ago. Am I one of the few left that actually thinks about what they buy, before buying it?

If you return more than one thing every few months something is wrong with your decision process. If you buy clothes online, well you deserve what you get.

Apples and Oranges, your examples are all of commerce: you pay a known amount and you receive a known product.

With gambling (yes this is exactly the same as placing money on a prediction) there is no commerce and NO PRODUCT to purchase, it's gambling. IMHO gambling should not be allowed to cross state lines - so these predatory companies should only be allowed to operate in their home state of NEW YORK.
