Didn't even know this was a thing, and since I live by multiple monitors, this makes me glad I've held off.

And that's where the term "clicker" came from, as opposed to the more modern "remote".

Bold move to assume they'll take cash. Many places gave up on cash during the pandemic and many of those haven't gone back to taking cash.

I used to hate the "convince" fee companies charged for using a credit card, but when it's reframed as a cash discount, it's not as aggravating.

That said, plenty of places are electronic payment only these days. Scary times, given the payment processor monopoly and their ability to determine what you can and can't buy.

Which is why all browsers cross identify as other browsers. This would make it easier for sites to block and harder for browsers to work around.

Claiming there's savings just isn't true in reality. If they came out and said it's to help reduce energy consumption to save the planet I'd be all in, and I'm still in for this, but it just makes it hard to fully support with the gaslighting as you aptly put.

Think your commodore 64 is really neato?
what kinda chip you got in there? A dorito?

Every time that lyric gets me. Every word is meticulously chosen. And all of his songs are like that, which is just incredible.

What about riced cauliflower? The issue is the type of processing, but I'd submit that is a distractio to the bigger issue. The problem is that the processing often results in foods that are easier and tastier to eat, resulting in over consumption.

This is by design. They've got us arguing about the api price, when their goal was to kill off third party apps and get all users on their app so they can data mine us. And the ridiculous api price is a secondary bonus for them, since AI and LLM companies will gladly pay it to sick up the content on the platform.
