Federal law is supposed to supersede state law. Although States are supposed to be free to run their elections how they choose.

This makes the whole situation a gray area that the DOJ hasn’t seemed to feel the need to clarify.

Gotta shoot it BETWEEN the toes to hide the marks, duh-doy!

That makes a lot more sense! Tbh I’m not surprised people are paying that much considering how used cars have been extra expensive the past few years. Couple that with high interest rates and you get large payments. Some people have 10% interest or more, guaranteed.

You pay $240/mo for a new Lexus? What was that? 12 years financing? Or did you pay most of the cost upfront?

Say the names together quickly and it sounds like the tire company, Michelin.

I just realized I dated someone with that name as her first and middle name.

Kicking myself that I never realized this obvious joke.

I totally follow you there. I don’t disagree with you.

All I am relying on is my personal experience with Big Macs, which used to be a lot.

These new ones are not as thick as they used to be. Different beef cooks differently, different fat percentages for example.

Also, I guarantee all those frozen patties do not weigh the same. Even if they can convince regulators that they average out to the advertised weight.

I see a lot of people saying it has always been that size. I cannot find official documentation.

I’m comparing that photo to this, which is what mine looked exactly like: https://www.reddit.com/r/shrinkflation/comments/15imuxv/grand_big_mac_super_thin_meat/#lightbox

I can tell that’s an old photo based upon how thick those beef patties are. Recently had a Big Mac and it was paper thin. Easily half that.

A lot of plans do. Especially with the major telecom networks like ATT and Verizon.

Recently had a smaller company come in and install fiber. $85/mo for Gigabit service with no data cap. That’s pretty good compared to what I was paying. ATT only offered 500Mb/s and that was over $110 a month with a data cap, I want to say 800GB.

Do not get reliable enough cell coverage for one of those mobile routers. But they aren’t any cheaper here since those are owned by the major telecoms.

Does this mean what I think it means? Tokyo metro was 100% owned by government (Central, Tokyo) but they are now selling half their shares to privatize the business?

In America this usually means nothing but rapid enshittification of the product to maintain growing profits. The main metro system of the most populous city in the world?

Good luck residents of Tokyo.

Riding passenger down the freeway and an SUV swerving through traffic clipped a nearby sedan right in the rear corner. Think PIT maneuver but the sedan ended up vertical spinning on its trunk/boot like a top for at least 3 rotations.

So I have a philosophical gaming question for you.

Visual novels are admittedly pretty niche in the gaming market as a whole.

If they don’t sell well enough sequels don’t happen. 

So, as a patient gamer, do I pay full price for these games to support further development even though that means buying less games. 

Or do I wait till they go for deep discount like I have been and have therefore been able to spread my limited support around more. 

If my end goal is making sure these games keep being made as much as possible, what’s my best option?

I am all for the patient gaming mentality and typically wait until games are 50%+ off before I think of purchasing.

Looking for opinions on my best course of action. Thanks!
