Plenty of items on eBay are just people who buy from China directly and mark up prices. If it is likely made in China and I don’t want it quickly, I’ll buy off aliexpress. That said, alibaba wanted me to upload photo ID which I noped out of. Temu started spamming my email address when I’d never used them. The unsubscribe link went to their website said to adjust your account settings if you didn’t want spam… I never created and account and avoided them completely following that.

A bit hard to get to German hospital when you are in a Russian prison in the attic circle

Was the first one that came to mind for me.

In general the reasons could be, an opportunity to raise capital meaning they can ramp up production or produce a better product, and/or the current owners want to cash out.

But it won’t be your own kidney and you will have to take drugs to try and stop your body rejecting it.

YTM: you have a vague hint of network reception, just wait for me to fail loading what I want to load before I consider letting you play your downloaded music.

Netflix have been making a profit since 2003 and only recently introduced ads. They are just trying to squeeze more profit.

Also related is the fact that DVDs and Blu-rays can be region locked. Years ago I bought media from another region as it wasn’t available in my region yet, happily played it on my PC but later when I went to play it in my PlayStation, nope! Even when there was media, they tried to artificially restrict usage.

A manufacturer should make one that auto clears after say 5 minutes. Have an option to not auto clear for the 0.1% of people who might want it to keep the remaining time for eternity.

Including the history of who you have looked up?

I did find that some of my uploaded library got changed to different versions of songs, which I didn't like.

"You got gypped"
Always just thought it was the same as being "ripped off" or getting a bad deal. Only in recent years realised that it was in reference to be swindled by a gypsy. I still wondered if the term gypsy was more to do with the lifestyle of the person, like a nomad, and not actually racist but no, gypsies origins are as Romani people. Have since stopped using the term.
Urban Dictionary has a bet each way as to if it is/was racist gypped/gyp't but best not to use it I think

Current US life expectancy 79.25. Trump is currently 77…

Surprised that thumbs up isn’t the most popular somewhere 👍

Does this become the gateway for other devices on the network?

I bought a pair and they are ok but for them to be a reasonable volume on my head, they physically buzz too much for my liking and it gets annoying. I just use regular headphones again now. If I am in a situation where I regularly have to talk to others while wanting to listen to something, I might pull them out of the draw again.

How did you cause them to go bankrupt?

More expensive in America, reduced demand might make them cheaper elsewhere?

Street view link?

The term “Fuzzy logic” has apparently been around since 1965, can’t keep calling it that.. not that all AI falls under that but a lot of what gets marketed as that would.

r/SAVE3RDFARTYAPPS ?

Alphabetical order, but still annoying

Hasn’t this happened yet because of issues getting enough land in a relatively straight path between destinations? If the curves are too great either the G forces are too high for the passengers or the train isn’t able to travel at a high speed. Elon had his boring machine but I’m guessing the lack of news around that means it isn’t progressing as hoped?

3D Doritos were great

While it is in your body, it would likely be compressed to a higher density than air

Tends to suggest they already have a method to do this, just want to make it legal
