Yeah. Should have seen the results of putting the sugar and quinine in opposite spots on the last test just to control for this. If they follow the cues, thru did math. If they follow the smells, then this study is worthless.
Exactly. How do we know there's no pheromones at play after multiple runs through the puzzle? Or some ability to smell the sugar. Or any of a number of confounding factors.
Companies like Bell exist all over the world, and they act as expensive gatekeepers to US content instead of just allowing foreigners to access the US content directly.
This is entirely the fault of the US content producers and not companies like Bell. They could provide worldwide access themselves or license to one global entity like Netflix. But they make a lot more money licensing per country and geofencing it.
Back in the mid 2000s looking at the CNN vs Fox news anchors I thought the only difference between liberal and conservative news anchors is that the latter don't try to hide the fact that they are assholes.
TV news is more sensationalist than just about anything in writing. Both take extreme views to pump up viewership, while i just want to get my news and get out - TV doesn't work for me in that regard.
And likely close to 50% of the income. So paying less than 50% of the taxes to run the country that makes them rich makes no sense. And really, it should be a little more than that because taxes should only come off above and beyond the amount required for basic food/clothing/shelter. And if they're directly benefiting from low wages to the poorest, then they should understand and get over the fact that the poorest might only be paying an effective 10% tax rate or less.
few people do pay the top marginal rate because of avoidance and other factors
No, the total effective tax paid is lower than the marginal rate, because it's marginal. It only applies to the income above the threshold, not all of your income.
Wealth is created and that means Amazon and the person who started it get really rich. That doesn't mean poor people have it worse because Amazon is successful or that somehow Amazon scammed the poor person.
Wealth is not created. It is taken. There should be societal limits to greed or it all breaks down and returns to feudalism if we aren't there already. If you want capitalism instead, you have to keep the money flowing at all levels and not let it concentrate at the top to stay.
Do you know how marginal brackets work? You're only taxed the higher rate on the income above the previous bracket. And anyone making 10s of millions is making it off the backs of other Americans anyway. I don't have sympathy for that. Nobody needs to make that much profit.
Also, the GP forgot that there has always been a large population of Apple fanboys on/.
Apple shilling has gone way down now that anyone who forgets to turn off smart quotes shamefully vomits "Sent from my iPhone" unicode all over their posts.
They're good, but if you want to actually get close to the advertised price you need to order $100+ of merchandise because of their high shipping. I know that's because they don't build the shipping cost into the price and I love and respect that. I can buy a 10-pack of 7-foot ethernet cables for less than $15 and both make $9.99 per cable and undercut Wal-Mart/Best Buy/Office Depot.
If you're already ordering from Amazon for Prime, you'd know how easy it is to return. You're just at the mercy of Amazon not shutting down your account for too many returns instead of shutting down the bad sellers.
It's not easy. Even just a simple polo shirt. I hate wearing branded merchandise, but I'm limited to a few brands because all the rest have stitched or embossed logos. And I can't always get the quality I want, either.
When it comes to shoes, I actually want to wear New Balance for comfort but I won't because of their giant branding. Partly because I wear them to work and want to look semi-professional without wearing dressier shoes that are terrible for your feet.
Maybe it's extra shifts, maybe some are rejects from the main shifts. But elsewhere you can find other counterfeiters copying the same style with cheaper materials and build quality and undercutting the "genuine" counterfeits on price. You have to really know what you're doing to know what you get.
And even then, what you received is probably not what you ordered due to comingling of seller inventory with the same ASIN. And what Amazon shipped may not have originated with the specific seller you bought from, but the seller lost the money on the sale anyway.
But the problem is that a significant amount of the software is done by companies that are now belly up.
Hence the Mario example. These are blatant and obvious.
avoid the backlash that they could have from end-users trying to sell legit cartridges 2nd hand.
There are a relatively small number of releases of these specific Mario games in question. It will be very obvious that these listings are not for those releases.

And if this collapses, a huge chunk of glacier will be floating out to warmer waters and melting faster still.

Imagine a Beewulf.... I'll just see myself out now.

You won't be locked down with proprietary hardware. In fact, if you stop paying monthly for the hardware, that goes away too!

The rich, right now, own 50% of the world's weath.

Pai is young enough that he knows he'll still need to find a job afterward.
You might have a shot at incitement, but not directly threatening, but Pai still totally deserves it.
They can both be bad without being the same.

they only speak in order to bash the opposing but highly similar party.
It's almost like they're using the fighting as a front to hide all the corporatist things they are doing that they all agree on.
He follows the law the way the head of the Mafia does. By hiring other people and then claiming that he never asked them to do what they did.
What site are you using for laptop batteries? I need a new source.

As a tech company, they should have seen it as an attack vector a mile away.
