I hated myself for using Chrome too, but after Firefox into intentionally broke their last reason for existance, plugins, it was the least worst option...probably because they threw an enormous check at the guy who wrote Firebug.
If they are only making 3% net when charging 30-50% more for the same goods as the "regular" supermarket then they deserve to fail. Amazons olive branch is but a tiny piece in that tower of fail.

Of course those "niche" products carry a premium, that's expected. Non-niche products also carry one. If you can get the same quantity of groceries at a Whole Foods vs a "bargain" based grocery chain you clearly life in an alternate reality. Please tell us more about it before the Stargate closes.
We're talking about Whole Foods, not "typical grocery stores". The only way their margins are 2-3% involve cocaine, prostitutes and/or gross mismanagement
It would be much safer for them to open fire on you en-mass from several hundred feet away because they mistook you for a dangerous criminal. This is not a hypothetical straw man argument, here is one example that I happen to recall off the top of my head...

Unless they are contract workers (not paid directly by the government) don't these people get paid regardless?
The shutdown may indeed delay payment but they're still getting paid.
They kind of are, as you well know. That's okay, I can replace my 1990s cars with 1960s cars. It's not my preference but since I'm not buying a new car anytime soon so be it. You have now replaced a mildly polluting thing with a far more polluting thing.
My solution is much more basic. If you (effectively) outlaw post 1975 cars that are more than 10 years old that is all I will drive. I have tried very hard to keep 1980s and 1990s cars alive but if you can't buy OEM parts and non-OEM parts are a an automatic fail...do the math.
If you'd rather I drive 1960s era cars so be it. We can go from fuel injection systems, multiple catalytic converters, etc to Stromberg carburators and none of those things since those are automatically excluded from this nonsense. I'm game but that's hardly helping the environment.
If you are living in France or Japan you already know what "too low" looks like. If you live in certain other countries with 6 guys for every job *cough* Italy, you know the reverse... although that's not even their fault this time, it's all team Merkel
So your saying we should short Nvidia GTX futures? (Yes I know hardcore miners don't use those anymore). This is fiat currency and always has been, it's just that you can't go full Zimbabwe and start printing million dollar bills. If the market decides it's worthless paper the effect is the same.
Um...because the more competent devs emigrated to countries where they could get better pay? These sorts of sites are a confluence of cheapskates, pretenders, and unrealistic expectations. That tends to go just about as well as you'd expect. If you go with the lowest bidder you deserve what you get.
Yes, this is the one we need. Sadly it looks like something Darth Vader shat out after an 18 hour crack binge on the sun and won't appeal to the general public.
I could never (personally) get behind the small style trackballs but I respect your personal preference. The only ones I ever cared for were the old pool ball sized models. You could 'palm' those and they had enough mass you could get some extra travel.
I still use a Microsoft Sidewinder (not the X5, the original). It was a pretty hardcore piece of kit 'in the day' and fits my hand a lot better than claw grip mice. When it finally dies I will be sad. While it won't give an IBM Model M a run for it's money in longevity it's what, 10 years old now?
Which has 1000% more to do with unsustainable levels of groundwater extraction than anything to do with the Paris accords. I realise that's an "Inconvenient Truth" but it's still the truth
The key phrase is "per person"... why are you discrimating against people who understand how birth control works? If we had a sustainable global population you could all be burning plastic and car tires and still not screw up the environment. We are at over double that figure, the only reason we aren't starving to death is due to petroleum based fertilizers and GMO crops.
Thanks for mentioning that. I was well aware of it but I doubt most people are. Also not to worry, while the USA is extremely not okay with stem cell research, Asian countries are totally down with that. You're going to have genically matched replacement parts in the next 20 years no matter how many Catholics that upsets. I mean, provided you can pay.
So you had a factory blessed modified M3 that had all the correct paperwork filed with the state. Most aftermarket suppliers cannot afford to pay for that sort of thing, especially on niche cars. It doesn't mean their emissions are any worse than your Dinan or AMG or Hellkitty, just that they haven't crossed CARBs palms with silver.

Other than the plugin I listed by name you mean?

Much all websites, if you were wondering
...well, except for your cousin's archived geocities page. I think that one is totally safe.

I for one welcome our Amazonian mud wrestling over lor...ladies.

So we agree then. I know it's cheaper to make those weird thumb ball things but it's mostly just a 1990s era mouse turned on it's back.
