A lot of people already leave the house other than for work, so they're already near the bookstore while out doing other things. So they don't have to drive to the bookstore. They just walk in the door.
In my city the local bookstores are owned by multi-generation locals with strong connections to the community, and most of the employees have been there for decades. I've never seen a HS age kid, that would be funny... the bookstores here expect workers to be broadly well read and be able to assist customers with questions.
Also in my community if teenagers are working, it is assumed to be a good thing.
Internet says the B&N price is $5.82. The list price is over $20. It is obviously not selling. (it might even be a popular book, but just that the over-sized format paperback was over-printed)
Local bookstores have a bargain bin, too. The timing on individual failed books might be different though, with the local stores being slightly later as they're making more monthly and weekly decisions.
Even when the B&N has it as a failed discount online, when they mark it down in the brick & mortar might depend on how many other failed titles they have in stock at that time. But if you regularly shop brick & mortar, you'll still see the same titles in the discount bin, and at similar prices.
the Black Knight is designed specifically for autonomous casualty evacuation and unmanned cargo resupply missions. While it can be flown by an onboard pilot, its unmanned capabilities are intended to keep pilots out of harm's way on dangerous missions.
It isn't intended to always come home, or to replace special forces helicopters.
The large farmed prawns that are grown in the same fields as rice are freshwater prawns. Actually most of the large prawns in stores are freshwater prawns, generally grown in pens in rivers in Asia.
"Pay to win" is the insult, often not relevant, not the name of the genre. How can your view be taken seriously when you have a closed mind, and have resorted to name-calling?
It is true that the most expensive Yamaha's are more than the cheapest Steinway's.
However if you would have read that price list instead of posting it, you'd realize that it confirms what I said. I used Yamaha as an example because they also sell professional level concert grands. Obviously there are other companies with lower prices, but those wouldn't be good for making the point, because they might be seen as apples and oranges.
As far as concert grand pianos go, Yamaha is a "less expensive" brand compared Steinway. And the price difference is generally assumed to be nameplate.
They admit that it sounds the same to the audience in the end... only the performer will ever sense the "color" of the sound, nobody, not even the performer, will actually hear different sounds. They simply will feel different when they play it.
Prices are relative, so getting hung up on the word "inexpensive" is silly. An inexpensive beer is a different price than an inexpensive airplane, for example. Inexpensive is not a price.
Temperature limitations is a perfectly normal sort of expectation for people more important than you. The other things are also all perfectly reasonable things to negotiate.
Get over yourself.
It is actually a rather small sort of issue compared to the negotiations for many other, even more important, celebrities. I've read the whole documents, the reason you can't find anything that stands out as bad is because none of it is bad.
What you think free speech is should not change over time, except that you start life ignorant and have to learn about your environment.
Notice that there is no opinion involved in the question of what free speech is. You can love free speech, you can hate it, what the words mean are the same.
So you might want to clean up the derp, and say something more interesting next time. Maybe even include either information, or an idea.
LOL! My friend started taking zoloft and ended up getting kicked out of a bar for trying to spin a stool on his finger... over and over again, because in his warped world, he was spinning it for a long time before it fell. Then he went out to the parking lot, and assaulted some guy who was making out with a woman. He thought he was batman and that he was saving her from an attack.
Luckily, he escaped the police and a family member got him better treatment; involved quitting the startup, changing medications, and not drinking. He's doing much better now. But he doesn't go to bars... he realizes he can't drink while on psychiatric medications.
I completely agree with your assessment of the situation but I disagree that it's a good thing.
Accurately understanding and expressing the situation is not an argument for or against it, or a claim that it is good or bad.
You should have the same assessment regardlessof if you think it is good or bad.
And I vote for politicians who do say what they mean, but most people have to vote based on sound bites because they only listen to whatever few seconds is shown on TV. If President Obama talks for 5 minutes and explains his view on something, you'll see a 3 second clip that, lacking the context of the rest of the statement, sounds like a partial answer.
If they have a culture where it is OK for the sound to be fake unless it is fake-enough for an editor to notice, then these kinds of mistakes should be expected to happen some percent of the time.
Personally, I believe that having a "news" culture where it is OK to use fake sounds if they're not noticeable is already malicious intent.

Maybe even cut out the middleman/shrimp/chicken and feed it directly to people.
I've eaten plankton and while it is a great supplement, it tastes nothing like shrimp or chicken.
Somebody will have to invent a quality Plankton Burger. (TM)

It's nice, but not something you couldn't have rigged yourself and I'm pretty sure kits exist for.
I'm sure you can get a dash camera kit. And you could probably rig it yourself.
But I'm thinking the windshield HUD is probably not something you're going to build yourself. You could, I know, I know. But you won't. ;)
And if you tried, it might turn out to be non-trivial.
See the price list somebody else replied with, and you'll see it is not so.

I'm not sure why you think a "whoosh" moment is "funny." Usually it is onlookers who laugh at that.
My advice is to keep parsing until it makes sense. That way you'll be replying afterunderstanding the comment, instead of before.

Ah, there is an interesting experiment! We know it sounds the same, but do the sounds have the same color to synesthetics?
Presumably Yamaha.

Best. Slashdot. Interview. Evar. Pulitzer material.
Totally. But I'm left with one burning question...
John, have you ever driven a nail through your foot? And if so, would you do it again?
What you think free speech is should not change over time, except that you start life ignorant and have to learn about your environment.
Notice that there is no opinion involved in the question of what free speech is. You can love free speech, you can hate it, what the words mean are the same.

Assume I'm deeply familiar with the case.
Now, would your statement be interpreted as convenient phrasing, or as an honest attempt to communicate what the case was about?
Because you're actually parroting one side.
News flash: the drunks at the bar may think they're just like "everyone," but most people are not at the bar.

how many range miles will be sacrificed to electrically amplify the sound of revving and shifting?
Twenty-seven inches

If I'm watching the news, I want accuracy
Reading the other comments, it is no surprise that the only way to watch accurate news is to read it.
If they have a culture where it is OK for the sound to be fake unless it is fake-enough for an editor to notice, then these kinds of mistakes should be expected to happen some percent of the time.
