Waffle House is placing a surcharge on every egg it sells

I think peoples knee jerk reaction is often "No", especially if somebody is spreading disinformation against it.   Later, when things are calmer they realize they over reacted so when the same situation comes around again (ie wearing masks) they are a lot more receptive.  People do learn, but it's a slow process and a lot of people can die in between.

Olipop is selling in most stores at approx $2.50 to 3.00 for a can of pop.  They have convinced consumers to pay that per can.  Yes it's cheaper at Costco but still pricey.  Anyway you get a decent return at that price.

Unlike AI, you don't need a massive server farm with dedicated power plant and water cooling, all you need is a low tech beverage plant and canning line so much lower overhead.

That thing has the power to make any man 10 years old again.

I was thinking how cool it would have been to have one of those as a kid.

It might have been NL, but a couple of early engines had some sort of feature like this and many directories have various reporting or voting features.  None of them work.  So few people use them that they just don't matter on any scale.  At scale only malicious bots are using this once an engine has enough traffic to make it worth a spammer's time.

They cover heating pretty well, but they kinda dance quickly past summer cooling in that article.
