Women shelters used to take them. They used them exclusively for 911 calls. I gave my old one to my mother who keeps it in her car. All she has to do is recharge it once every few months.
Well, I was also alive and remember they did do these events.

You'll see several posters for these closed circuit broadcasts. They occurred at civic centers and convention halls. Not to just anyone who had a cable box.
Keyboard support is fine. But many games will ban players for using macros. It's not how they want the game to be played. And let's not forget about speed hacking which no way in hell are console game companies going to allow either.
Yes, but the console players can't set up macros. Which is a huge advantage to PC players especially during PvP matches. Hit one key = Perform several moves before the console player hits their second button.
Also, as I mentioned in my own reply, bodybuilders and fitness minded folk latched on to the idea of mixing one in their protein powder drinks. It's a natural thickener and gives it the consistency of a malt.
This reminds me of what I've gone through with bison. Two years ago I was buying it for $5/lb.. Two months later my grocery store stopped selling it because they said the price got too high. A few months later they got it back in...at $10/lb.
The reason: The meat manager said it was being bought up by all of the restaurants. So it was entirely due to supply and demand.
This was about two years ago. And the price is still $10/lb. with no end in sight. Just like your fish, does this mean no one thought of increasing the supply of bison? Or are some people keeping the supply in check in order to justify their mark up.
Right, they exist so businesses connected with the President make a profit. Just like a certain former Vice-President did with no-bid military contracts.
Thanks for your reply. There's only one thing which needs to be added. The snow ball effect.
Company gets tax break -> Builds factory -> More people move into town -> Wal-Mart (or other big company) gets tax break -> Moves into town -> Local businesses close -> No longer pay business taxes.
Overall this means the $3 Billion is really a low-ball number.
If my video is taken down, that implies I broke the law. That's defamation of character. I'm wondering why people haven't filed a court claim like this. Even if it's small claims. And refuse to settle until your terms are met. Even if you go to court, then there'd be standing which could be stockpiled and used for an even bigger case.
And remember, since Youtube took the video down they could be called as a witness. Several times a week in fact if enough people filed at the same time.
You can't argue with [decades of elected officials]. Really, you can't. Even though they're dead wrong, there's no arguing with them. It's [political suicide] and they're desperate [to be re-elected] for someone to blame. Comparing it to [bribery and malfeasance of duty] is pretty apt.
We're not talking about MSRP. We're talking about advertising a fake sale. Plain and simple. According to mouseprint.org, "Many moons ago, MrConsumer went after Mattress Discounters while at the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office for this very practice. When they had a “buy the mattress, get the boxspring free” sale, they just doubled the price of the mattress in order to give away the boxspring free. We collected a cool million in penalties and mattress donations to the homeless."
I think Mike is talking about what some major chains used to do with jewelry sales during Christmas. They'd have a pin for $100. They'd raise the price to $200. And then have a 50% off sale. In several states this is majorly illegal and considered fraud. The TV news program 20/20 did a piece on this back in the 1980's. A year later they did a follow-up and again the some of the same retailers were caught. Before this they were threatened with 'fines per discovery'. After this they were fined with 'fines per instance'. So if they sold 50 of them in one store, they'd be fined 50x not just once.
Now with the internet we have this crap happening all over again.

A corporation which has record breaking sales = Good Management. They deserve everything they get.
A planet which has record breaking climate change = Good Management. They deserve nothing of what you'll get.

During the 1980's the big thing was to go to a stadium and watch a fight on a large projection screen. Price was $50. ($160 in 2017 money.)
One fight lasted less than a minute. No refunds.

The biggest selling points:
Heart healthy fats
Helps reduces cholesterol
Helps in weight loss
Protein Powder, milk, and half an avocado gives you a healthy milk shake. (And, no, you don't taste the avocado.)
...the first taste isn't free.
