But I can’t get an Orange Julius online.
Uber Eats, Door Dash, Grubhub, etc. all exist for this exact type of purchase.
Although you will pay for the convenience, as opposed to it being cheaper like most other products since the physical store is still involved.
Actually, the inventor of the Keurig coffee pod system, John Sylvan, sold his ownership of the product for $50,000 in 1997. 7 years after founding the company and before single-serve coffee really took off.
Even the creator of the K-cup said he regretted creating it because of the environmental impact.
A couple of primarily YouTube-based music artists I follow made OF pages before the adult influx and still use them. It works great since that’s what it was designed for.
A class action lawsuit with a related FTC warranty fraud investigation is a pretty tough thing to fight.
And in return Gamers Nexus is teaching all of their viewers what their consumer rights are, and how to report fraudulent activity to the proper regulatory authorities. This isn’t the first time Gamers Nexus has gotten regulatory agencies involved with computer part manufacturers fucking over customers, and the history of those incidents didn’t go very well for other companies involved.
On the other hand Gamers Nexus has also gone out of their way to point out companies that have done the right thing when issues came up, to make sure those companies are getting kudos for NOT fucking over consumers. Because sadly that’s all we really want.
If the FTC gets enough complaints to warrant the manpower to investigate ASUS warranty fraud, there is no doubt in my mind that they’re gonna be fucked based on what we’ve seen so far.
So you are saying that simply by accepting payment from a company any investigation must inherently be biased?
That’s the entire reason a reputable third party was hired in the first place, because a reputable group won’t be incentivized to bias like that. That’s why they are reputable.
The aggrieved are welcome to hire their own investigator, or file a lawsuit, or any number of other things. But all we got from that side were the original claims on social media, and advertising for their stream. Not exactly an unbiased source either.
Ah yes… They hired a third-party respected law firm specializing in labor and employment law, and allowed full access to records and employees to investigate the allegations. They took months to complete that investigation thoroughly and provide a report on the findings and recommendations going forwards.
Because the results aren’t what you personally wanted, you attack the entire idea that an investigation paid for by LMG must inherently be biased in their favor because they paid for it.
So what alternative would you suggest? They already hired a respected third party law firm specializing in this. Since you seem to think you know of a better way to investigate in a more unbiased manner.
So is gravity. Outside colloquial usage, a Theory is well-substantiated with empirical evidence. Game Theory is one of those.
After a while, piracy doesn’t really affect income as strongly
Piracy affecting income in a meaningful way is generally disputable. Executives and shareholders just refuse to accept that fact.
Most piracy is instead be from people that were never going to pay for the game anyway. So in many cases DRM like Denuvo just causes issues and slowdowns for the people actually paying for the game, making it worse for them. Meanwhile the people that weren’t going to buy the game anyway, still don’t buy the game once the DRM is removed or bypassed.
Piracy primarily comes from two major sources:
There are plenty of stories online of people in those categories later on buying the game when they are able to because they weren’t actively avoiding paying for the game, but rather just not in a position to at the time for whatever reason and correcting that later on to support the developer.
There are of course a very small number of people that can buy a game, and specifically choose to pirate it instead. The actual impact of these however wouldn’t even be a rounding error for most developers, these are people that were never going to buy it anyway, there is no actual monetary loss since a sale was never going to happen.
It is protected, but you can disclose whatever you want to whoever you want. It’s your medical data, you are not prevented from sharing it, healthcare professionals are prevented from sharing identifiable information including that.
Since HIV is such a big issue in the LGBT space, so much that many blood/plasma donation places won’t even let gay patients donate at all, or if they e been sexually active within like 2 months, even though they obviously test all donations anyway. Being upfront with that information is important, so for a dating/hookup app meant for those users, it’s essentially like having a space to put your height.
Personally I think this is pretty likely.
Watching Johnson when he talked recently about going forward with the aide package he no longer looked like he was a hostage. I think that’s because the Dems promised to help him keep his seat in exchange for a little compromise.
If he were to be unseated, the Dems have a decent chance of taking control with so many Rs leaving recently. It would only take a couple Rs breaking ranks with the extreme MAGA representatives pushing to remove Johnson, to give the Dems control.
However Dem control I don’t think would matter much at this point. The Republican messaging would just switch to blaming all of the bullshit they’ve done this session on the Dems. A large majority of the Republican base just accepts what they’re told at face value, so they would 100% accept being told that nothing being accomplished was because the Dems prevented it rather than the Republicans refusing to bring things to the floor in the first place.
There is no real advantage to the Dems taking control so close to the election, just giving Republicans a new soap box to spread lies to a base they know doesn’t look past the headlines on their own echo chamber networks.
True but the cow is also used for things like beef once slaughtered. A nut on the other hand is simply used up after being harvested.
A lot of the cow water figures get complicated quickly as well since various calculations either include or ignore indirect water usage. Things like water usage for their feed. Or whether the water usage is counting across an entire cows average lifespan, including slaughter and all byproducts, or just the water usage while the cow is producing milk.
This makes it hard to directly compare to something more simple like growing a nut or oats where the end product is essentially singular. There are a lot of variables to consider when trying to compare to a product from a farmed animal.
Almond milk I think was the better alternative.
Almond milk also requires 6x as much water to produce than oat milk. Almonds in general are a very high water usage crop.

Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary said that Boeing showed a “lack of attention to detail.”
You know… Ryanair throwing shade around about lack of anything is pretty hilarious.
Credit checks.
Nowadays they offer financing for devices. But even in the past it was required. They would determine the maximum number of lines you had available, and if there were any deposits to open new lines of service. Even before phone financing, those phone contracts came with hundreds of dollars of phone discounts at time of purchase and had hundreds of dollars worth of early termination fees and they want to make sure their customers had a good chance of paying if they left.
Social Security Numbers were never meant to be used for anything other than Social Security itself. Credit agencies use the SSN because they view it as an easy identifier and they didn’t have to create anything themselves.
In the wise words of Gaben: "One thing that we have learned is that piracy is not a pricing issue. It’s a service issue.”
They already had to make the APK for the Play Store, providing it directly doesn’t require extra dev work.
