Capitalism is extremely bad at providing any service or product with inelastic demand or geographic/infrastructure dependent consumption. Which is to say nearly all of them
And those not doing nicotine are probably doing THC instead. There is a measurable negative impact of legalizing marijuana on alcohol sales


I can’t imagine inputs are very high for this, at all.
The tooling for the cartridges is probably only a few bucks a unit at absolute most. And most of that is in plastic injection molding. The entire 2600 memory stack can be condensed onto a microscopic IC these days as they werent more than 64kb in bank switching, and bringing the already developed code over is an intern’s weekend project.
This is a massive nostalgia-powered money grab.


I have damn near everything in this photo except it’s a 91 Honda accord and I don’t have a PS2, I have an original Wii. I feel suspiciously called out.


The admitted benefit of the digital ones are accuracy. Mechanical pop out gauges, or even dial gauge styles, they have limited accuracy at pressure below their spec and obviously don;t work at all or will be damaged by pressure above their spec.
E.g, for the pop out gauges, you’ll usually see them sold in ranges of 5-30psi, 20-60psi, and 30-120 psi. 5-30 is good for lawn equipment, 20-60 for cars and light truck, 30-120 for heavy truck. A digital gauge covers all of them at once rather than needing 3 separate gauges banging around in the toolbox.
The digtial gauge can get you within 0.5psi while the mechanicals usually are within 2psi at best. And for big lawn or flotation tires that need like 3psi or less, forget it, you need digital, most mechanical gauges never even go that low…

Leave. It sucks since so much info and live news is often stuck there but people need to realize ot is a dying platform, the less traction any of its content gets, the better.
“Modern education systems are definitely not traumatically abusive and most certainly are not creating PTSD-riddled students who struggle to function in society.”

I guarantee they weren’t given a choice. Or possibly were never even told.


I don’t see many food containers, but it’s mostly replaced with styrofoam coolers that are still sold as well as lots of random packing material


Can’t get manufacturing sites. They are all parts bin contract manufactured from lowest bidder garbage in China as cheap as possible. Warehousing tho


Xfinity is absolutely collecting (and probably selling) data on the traffic of every device on your network.
They’re doing that anyway via the modem. Unless you are tunnelling everything your ISP sees every byte you send.
Other way around. Modern capitalism dictates that as sales drop, prices must rise so profits can remain the same or continue increasing.


Make sure it is updated to latest nightly (they constantly play whackamole with YouTube’s changes breaking downloader and monthly stable basically never works)
If you’re using your distros install, uninstall it, create a Python venv, and install yt-dlp using pip. Distro packages do not update frequently enough to keep yt-dlp usable, the pip version is latest nightly build by default.
Make sure you have a JavaScript anti-bot challenge solver installed, which is the yt-dlp-ejs package, and a JS runtime like deno else YouTube will always fall over

Nazis exclusively attack those more helpless and weaker than themselves. They can’t mentally stand the thought of possible equal-force repercussions, they need their power play masturbatory fantasy to stay intact.
