That strikes as me as an odd way to describe declining sales. Consumers can choose not to buy something without being in a battle with the supplier. The current products don't (in the consumers' estimation) offer a good value proposition for them. They aren't fighting with Apple. They're just acting in their own self interest. That's what we expected, right?
Netflix's Haunting of Hill House episodes 1-5 is my favorite horror of all time. The child actors are excellent. The characters are interesting and likable. The director trusts the actors to carry scenes that in other lesser shows and movies other directors focus on effects.
To me, the series feels over after episode 5. The rest of the series answers questions I didn't have and undoes some things I liked.
That's a fair point, but I don't think it's quite the same thing. Amazon intentionally markets to minimize the distinction from buying from the directly and from buying from a third party.
"It was just several years ago" or "Only several days left".
As a native English speaker, those examples both make my ears bleed, so I think I agree with your point. Several doesn't just mean a specific range of numbers, but also that the speaker wants to convey that, in this context, that number is many or greater than expectation.
A) There is an accurate computer system for judging balls and strikes. The "overlay" by the broadcasters is not it. That box doesn't even change size for the height of the batter.
B) I'm an umpire. Computers should call balls & strikes.
It's so bad that in California, the University of California has focused almost entirely on out-of-state and foreign students, since they can charge them more tuition.
Wouldn't the right way to do this be for the state to pay the subsidy to the university for each in-state student?
Unless you combine it with dilaftin. Which any first-year should know is the standard prep medication your patient was taking before surgery. Your patient should be dead.
We've built a civilization around the notion that if you don't work you don't eat and we're about to run out of work.
It's clear to me, having been outside, that we are not about to run out of work. It's an absurd notion. Can you get a job banging out widgets in a factory that supports a family? Maybe not, but this has been the case throughout most of human history.
I live in a society so affluent that food rots on the ground because we can't be bothered to pick it up. People are still capable of creating value.
Almost everything prequel seems to disregard the purpose of backstory.
In Empire, Darth Vader says to the group of bounty hunters, but specifically Boba Fett, "No disintegrations." That's a great part of the scene, because it makes the audience wonder about a thing that happened off screen. Real people make references to events that have happened in the past.
The purpose of backstory is to make the universe feel real and exciting. It's not to create hooks for prequel material. So if they're going to fill in all the missing pieces in this backstory, they need to create (or at least imply) more backstory or else the magic collapses: it beomces just a movie, not a fictional universe.

People who looking at evidence can be surprised.
People who are interested in validating their current beliefs are never surprised.
How credulous do you have to be to think a survey like this means anything? Might as well ask, "Who here doesn't want to get fired?" Damn.

Same for me. I think treating cash differently comes from a mentality of spending until the money is gone. That's a very foreign mindset to me.

If I give Amazon money in return for a thing, I bought it from Amazon as far as I'm concerned.

What do new icons have to do with a different development approach?
Did you just say that the point of borrowing is to default?
Trump thinks he is CEO of America, and everyone reports up to him.
Hi, I'm working on a aggregation site rating system. On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate Rotten Tomatoes?
So much this. If you want a plural meaning, using a plural noun. THOSE PLAYERS are winning.

I'm especially looking forward to self-driving lettuce.
Physics is neat.
Also, why don't they make spaghetti smaller? Would people who make spaghetti in giant pots object to spaghetti sized for normal pots?
Maybe people in white lab coats should try asking people to shock robots with increasingly high voltage to train them.

This story hadn't been posted all week.
I am so tired of relearning this shit.
Of course animals understand that no stuff is less than any amount of stuff. No lions is less lions than 1 or 2 lions.
Zero is a symbolic representation. The innovation is assigning a symbol.
