Are they trying to make viable EV pit stops for racing?

I guess this would make ridiculously sized batteries for semis viable. Though I’d rather pivot back to freight trains than put that much weight on our roads.

Semis are responsible for most of the road repair budget in the US. There’s a cheaper way. (If the government didn’t pick up the tab for all this semi road damage.)

The shift will be “you can make more paperclips. Make the paperclips faster.”

Well, they are already arresting and deporting US citizens, so…

Can you not just fully disabled the integrated? (At the cost of higher power usage.)

They’re doing the ai murderbot episodes too.

Just do what Ohio did. “Oh well, there’s no time to fix it.” Just submit the same maps over and over until you get your way.

Yes, because Fox News is known for their facts. (No one mention the court case.)

I notice you didn’t answer the question.

Now imagine your sales declined by less than 50%

Corpo looks at this stat 2-4 weeks after they change prices. They don’t care to realize that the sales did decline more than that, it just takes longer.

Unironically. I’ve watched so many businesses fall into this trap.

Places used to make money on volume. That was the entire point of early McDonald’s. Extremely small menu served instantly. Low profit per customer, but constantly busy.

Now one of the biggest corpo metrics is “ARPU”, average revenue per user. And when they do raise prices the immediate effect is more profit, nearly every time.

People rarely look at the price and walk out. What’s more likely is that they just never come back again. Clearly management made a great change with the price increases; it must be something else driving customers away six months later. It takes time for high prices to hurt your business.

In the 90s you could get a bucket of chicken for about $10 and feed your family of five. Inflation calculator says that should be $21 now.

No wonder most of them are mostly empty.

I’ve found it surprisingly difficult to make good iced tea.

Your indie game won’t sell if you can’t advertise it on Steam. They have a monopoly.

Download speed is highly relative to latency

Tell that to my USB stick.

Do you stack your dishwasher like this?

You really think you can independently afford high speed localized 24/7 file hosting all over the world for potentially millions of downloads for less than 30% of your sell price?

Absolutely, yes, 1000%. And why does your download need to be local? Have you heard of The Internet?

You’re not really making an argument against a monopoly when you say it can’t be done without Steam.

30% of your gross income for advertising and hosting is a scam. It’s a scam when Apple does it, when Google does it, and yes, when Steam does it.

There’s a reason Gabe can afford that yacht without breaking a sweat.

Just because Steam is the best of the software monopolies doesn’t exclude it from the group.

I lean into it intentionally sometimes. Some of those things sponsor the things I like, and I want those things to be keep happening, so I’ll buy some Pagoda egg rolls that I never would have touched otherwise.

That doesn’t work with the really intrusive ads though.
