ordinary fast food tacos are probably the worst. ‘crispy’ by name, hardly so once you open the bag and take a bite.
the shells are so thin now, they get soggy in mere seconds. the sad thing is, part of you is actually hoping for that outcome because the alternative is a shell that’s already splintered into numerous pieces just from being wrapped-up and put into the bag.
it’s not a ‘pr stunt’, it’s a research study.
they hold all the cards. so, while you could try, they’d most likely tell you to pound sand. they have many, many others to exploit and profit off of—they don’t specifically ‘need’ you.
lemme guess, this bunch was also the ones gunning to ‘buy’ the world cup itself…
there’s no extra markup involved here for what is essentially a marketing thing.
they’re $35. which is also the price the ‘normal’ (not ‘collab’ edition) ones sell for direct on ka’s web site or at retailers like rei.
the actual sliced american cheese was awesome. better than deli american or the american cheese used by fast food and other restaurants on cheeseburgers.
the loafs of “cheese food” were more like an american cheese ‘flavored’ velveeta, but not as good (taste or to cook with). but it still worked for mac & cheese, grilled cheese, cheese dips, and in hotdishes and the like.
“this is exactly why we need chat backdoors.”
ukraine needs to be free and at peace before the dipshit can get his tiny little shit-stained hands on anything. he won’t even be in office when that does happen, and this ‘deal’ will no-doubt be negotiated at that time.
“don’t be evil” was a false promise. a gimmick. a marketing slogan. in practice, the policy was lost long before even the first pre-ipo options were promised to a new hire… way back around the time larry or sergey first day-dreamed of cashing-in ‘some day’.
it is present on their main search but can be ignored or put out-of-sight easily enough.
you have to use noai.duckduckgo.com to have it just ‘off’ period.
3 of 35 is not an unreasonable number of students who might have actually done the work themselves.
“loyalty cards” are common. stores (and each of their 369354764 data sharing “partners”) get to track everything you buy and when. in exchange, you get token “discounts” on a small selection of products. some stores have done away with the actual physical cards, and use mobile phone apps or just the mobile phone number to track you.
when the $ numbers start getting big and scary, just extend the length some more to make it look ‘cheaper’… like 8 year car loans and 50 year mortgages.
that’s a lot of chocolate.
usmobile.com does a cellular-based ‘home phone’ (base station you connect a traditional POTS phone to) for about the same ($9.99/mo, $99/yr), plus hardware at about $100. walmart does the same (via ‘straight talk’) at $15/mo and about $50 for the hardware. no internet needed for the service as they use cellular.
semiconductor fab profits are also ‘abnormally high’.
it’s not FOSS (it is ‘free to use’ at home) or a ‘server’ application (it’s a windows application), but i just use mailstore home to create and update a local archive of a gmail account. its dot.net requirement is minimal (v4.8 or higher) but i have not yet tried to run it with wine, as i have a separate box that runs windows stuff.

federal duties will still apply, and that stuff has changed a lot in the last year. most of what used to come in ‘free’, is not any longer.
many states will expect a buyer bringing-in items to use in-state that were bought elsewhere, with lower or no sales tax at point-of-sale, to pay the equivalent of the sales tax, commonly called a ‘use tax’, if the items would be subject to sales tax if purchased locally. such use taxes are difficult to enforce, and are rarely reported or paid voluntarily by individuals.
also note that the cheaper switch2 version sold in japan is region locked to that market and language
they don’t need ai to tell them ai is part of the reason. nor do they to know the other is because the company has turned to shit under vulture fund ownership, a trend that probably started even a little earlier than that—when they split print and broadcast into separate companies.
