However it would be better then what you currently get with the shopkeeper continually tell you "Good to meet you" and you have been going to them for weeks supplying them with high price goods.
An AI providing more generic talk and background talk about things happening in the game world is alot better then the 'If player level is greater than 10 then have guards say I got an arrow in my knee'

Of course they called you liars because that is not what the study showed. What you are saying is what various liberal hate groups pushed and goes against what the actual study said.
the problem the smart thinkers on the "far right" had with the it, and you can easily look this up, is the definitions they used.
So yes the right has cared about right, it is you who don't otherwise you would have gotten the results of the study correct and you would be smart enough to think about those numbers and what they actually represented especially with you using a false representation of the study.

the report says right in there "did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities."
So t he evidence you claim is stuff like public meetings like where they met with a russian lawyer who promised "dirt". However unlike democrats this meeting was known to the public and reupublicans did not pay for a made up document like the democrats did and which the media then passed around as proof that democrats still believe is true.

No, there are plenty of reason why a politician should be signing NDAs. The politicians need to know what will be happening in the future so that they to decisions for that now. To get that information they need info from companies about their plans, and the NDAs just prevent the politicians from making that information public or even profiting from that knowledge(see nancy Pelosi)

According to the NZ EFTPOS site there is a rental fee for the machine, if not purchased. Then there is a monthly usage fee based on the size of the company.
If the customer then uses a credit card or similar there are additional fee charged by both EFTPOS and the credit card company.
Debit cards do have a fee but it is lower than credit cards so stores merchants have that fixed into the cost.
In the USA some store will still take checks, cheques, and it is no additional cost.

You are thing about things using the older definition of ultraprocessed. The current definition widly used are foods that havebeen affect by processes not found in the common home or with "little or no whole food and typically include flavorings, colorings, emulsifiers, and other cosmetic additives." With whole foods being ingredients that have little or no processing.
So going by your yogurt. Whole fat yogurt = whole food; low-fat yogurt = processed, yogurt with jam or flavoring = ultra-processed.
However your sauerkraut = procesed, if you can and pastureize it becomes ultraprocessed because you need to add extra salt to keep flavor.

Most of these monthly payments don't charge interest they get their money from the stores similar to how credit cards work. However instead of a 3-4% back from the stores they are getting 6%+.
Stores are will to pay that extra amount because people who use these will purchase more items, and these monthly payment programs don't have the legal protections that credit card provide so as an example there is no charge back capability.
