They reserve that approach for drug laws that fill prisons.
Re:Drugmakers raise US prices on 350 medicines despite pressure on Wednesday December 31, 2025 @11:43AM (#46445734)
Generic is the English word for it. The brand name drugs have a limited time patent and they are supposed to help cover the initial research and development costs of bringing that drug to market.

I doubt that most people in the US know the local sales tax. Let alone any change that may occur due to laws changing or traveling. I'd like to see the out the door price listed but that throws the 99 cent game off retailers like. Also I don't shop very often but Aldi US is the only place I've seen the eink price displays, the rest still have paper.
That is sort of the way I see it. It's a leap to ask for gay or women's rights before the county has the right to not be bombed.

Not a Disney defender but they are more than just Mickey mouse now.

Current fire sticks and Nvidia shields need a spec bump. I think they are starting to show their age. But Amazon is getting push back from content providers saying they enable piracy so time will tell what direction they end up going. People may have to go back to media center PCs if companies start to lock products down.
Re:Hulk Hogan: Wrestling legend dies aged 71 on Thursday July 24, 2025 @02:49PM (#44674557)
I agree with you on Ozzy, but Hulk made a hard right turn into politics the last few years. It was sad to see him do that but his contributions to wrestling stand on their own.

I think the dev pays for the service window and after the Denuvo contact is up they update the game without it.

I hate the robo voiced videos. I watch a lot of space content and run into them often on the homepage. Usually easy to spot with low views and 1k subs.

Only because they are underpowered with old hardware. Just overclocking gives better performance but still dips below 60fps on first party titles. But they had to make those sacrifices because it's a portable console first with a tv dock. Nintendo always had slowdowns from the beginning with nes, SNES, N64. But these days it's just not acceptable to have those kinds of performance issues.
Nearly every week in Palm Beach County there's a story in the news about subscribe getting hit, either in person or in car. The day of the first Miami to Orlando train someone was hit by a train.
I had one for my g1. The chineseium plastic was pretty bad though and I had to buy replacement back covers for the extended battery.
I'll have to try my gas cap but I normally used my wallet because it was already out from paying if the latch was broken or missing.
Re:Born in Babylon: The Spread of Rastafari on Monday June 26, 2023 @05:45AM (#36477644)
There's 2 things Jamaicans around me hate more than anything, gay people and eating pussy. A guy point blank told me he'd kill his son if he was gay.
No subreddit can fully move. Reddit is too popular for everyone to leave. A mod can start a new place but if they threaten the the sub itself like going private or not allowing posts the company can just open it with new mods.
