Because that’s the price that (most) customers are willing to pay for them 🤷

But, if you account for inflation (using the BLS website ), $50 in Jan of 2011 is equal to a little over $70 today, so a $60 used game is kind-of a discount?

I got my used laptop that now has linux on it from shopgoodwill.com I am in the US, so ymmv

Having worked at a movie theater, I can tell you that the answer is “by a human”

If you can make a machine that cleans a popcorn popper well enough to pass a health inspection, you’ll be a very rich person. Especially a small vending-machine-sized popper-and-dispenser all-in-one jobby.

I just realized that in something like 200 years, no one is really going to understand the difference between George Bush and George W Bush. Like, they’ll know they were two different people, but mis-attributing something that one Bush said to the other Bush will be seen as an easy mistake to make (much like how nowadays, John Adams and John Quincy Adams are seen as two different people but are not really that different in the average person’s eyes).

Like, there might be memes of 41 saying “…fool me -can’t get fooled again. Heheh” and no one will realize what’s wrong with the picture.

When I was stationed at Camp Pendleton around 2003-ish, one of the barracks I was at had a pizza vending machine. It made cheese pizzas (maybe pepperoni too, but I am not sure) that were a little smaller than a frisbee and cost around $5 (at a time when the priciest McDonald’s value meal was almost $5). I never had any myself, but it did take a couple minutes to make and (if I remember correctly) the crust was mostly pre-made. Being able to watch the process (a crust drops onto the conveyor, a robot puts the sauce on, another robot puts the cheese on, another robot puts the toppings on (if any), the pizza is conveyored through the oven) would help occupy the customer’s time. If the crust is pre-made, you’re really just broiling the cheese and toppings to get them melty and hot.

I don’t think the pizza was too tasty or popular, but it was a convenient option if you were drunk.

In USMC boot camp, this specific topic was addressed very early on. It’s “Good Morning” up until noon, after which it is “Good Afternoon” up until you eat evening chow, then it is “Good Evening” until midnight (at which point it becomes “Good Morning” again).

Of course, it’s all up to personal preference in the real world. If you’re out with your friends at a club and it’s after midnight but still very much dark out, you’re not going to be greeting people of the gender that you prefer to look at with “Good Morning”, because it is still ‘evening’ to you and them.

Randy Savage started his WWF career as a heel. Initially, he didn’t have a manager, so a bunch of heel managers would attend his squash matches and marvel at how amazing he was ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBIXztSSNr0 ). Then after a few matches and promos, he finally announced that he had chosen a manager: Miss Elizabeth ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_G1iMUbbBs ) (In reality, I’m pretty sure he and Elizabeth were a package deal; she would be slated to be his manager/valet before he came to the WWF)

He definitely seemed like a good, genuine dude and someone that was good at most every aspect of pro wrestling (maybe not as technical as Brett Hart, but who is?) regardless, though.

Why did the Trump campaign commit to a debate with Biden despite Biden not being confirmed?

She is leading in NH right now, according to two different polls, by about 6 points
