You can afford new tires instead of just patching them endlessly?

Look at the big spender over here.

Eh, the sentiment has always been 'fuck russia', it's a pain. If someone comes up with a good reason to reenter the russian markets and everyone think it's profitable and legal enough to get away with, they'll bring it up at their company and will probably be successful, but a lot of us are very happy we didn't have to worry about that for a few years.

This statement is driving down the perceived profitability though, so probably bought us a bit more time.

I really wonder what animals we're missing out on in terms of dairy now. Like could White Rhino Yogurt be the best yogurt known to man?

I'm not sure gators understand the idea of not being hungry.

Wow, I didn't know that was an option, I thought we did 4k, then skipped to 6k and 8k. What's the actual resolution on that thing?

If you have the money for it and really want to go hardcore into the scene, you might look into an FPGA like the Super-nt. They typically aren't like all of those emulation boxes out there, compatible with real SNES cartridges and accessories but don't have to worry about the issues with aging hardware and works mostly native with modern TVs/etc. It's very expensive, but it's also definitely very cool.

Full text is 'Below are some types of visual media that some might consider old or outdated. Which, if any, have you used in the past year?' and that is an item on the list, it's not an incredibly detailed survey.

I will say from the rest of the survey responses, the demographics they've selected seem to lean more technically competent and security focused than I'd expect.

Actual question references "Classic videogame systems that came out before 2000, like the NES or GameBoy" and "used at home in the past year" of which 14% responded yes out of a group of 2022 surveyed in North America (demographic details available in link).

At a lot of flower places, you'd likely be paying a premium for flowers on Valentines Days even if they didn't explicitly tell you. Check back in a week and whatever you bought may be significantly cheaper. Just saying that if you didn't actually get them on Valentines, may want to push for at least some of your money back whether they eventually get there or not.

Threatening to call your bank may help if they won't give you a refund, actually do it if they don't. If you have to talk to your bank, remember that you bough valentines day flowers not eventually delivered some day flowers.

Or Red Shoe Diaries, people kinda forgot that his big role before X-files was just softcore porn.

Haven't seen one exactly like this, but looks like a lock out tag out deal.
