$5…$10…$20…$50…C.C.C.Comb$100 BREAKER!!

Your fault for putting socks and panties in the same load…

PICs are cheaper than discrete ICs, even if they’re programmed only once and shipped. This is why you’ll see mainboards with un-populated sections - the processor has a software build that either excludes the un-populated parts or is designed to detect and ignore them. A discrete IC would need far more engineering to be able to selectively ignore, or each model would need it’s own discrete IC.

There’s also aesthetics and other factors. Most people don’t want the super-rugged phones with the rubberized bits and so on.

Another thing to consider is sometimes people don’t want to (or can’t) spend top dollar on something that will last forever. For example, if I’m new into a hobby, I’m not going to go out and buy the absolute best out there. I’ll usually shoot for somewhere in between “not shit” and “fairly decent” depending on what it is. If I get good enough and want to upgrade, then at that point I can look at the higher-end stuff and I’ll have the bonus of now knowing what properties I need to look for. If the cheaper equipment is still working I can re-sell or donate it. If not, maybe I’ll try to fix/mod it before tossing.

How much do you think would be enough if cops showed up with guns pointed at you while you were caring for children, and after six months in jail you got dumped on the side of the street with literally nothing left?

I think the state is responsible for making sure she lives a life of absolute comfort for what they did to her. If that costs $10M, then so be it. If taxpayers complain that the state is paying out these expensive suits, then the taxpayers should be seeking change.

So again, fuck you, learn some empathy.

They need to go to jail yes, but how does that help the now homeless victim?

Buried in the article, it came out that the face they used as “proof” was the picture on the FAKE ID that the actual suspect used. They did exactly 0 investigative work. The computer spat out a picture with a name and they just went in guns drawn.

In front of kids.

The only “good” part I guess is that they didn’t shoot her or the kids.

Did you even read the article? She was treated horrifically. Arrested at gunpoint in front of the children she was babysitting. Held in jail for 6 months and then taken to North Dakota 1200 miles from her home before someone even bothered to look into her alibi. She was left on the side of the street outside the jail IN NORTH DAKOTA 1200 MILES FROM WHERE SHE LIVED WITH NO MONEY OR COAT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINTER.

She lost her home and her pet. Without the home she can’t babysit, so no livelihood. Unless there’s someone to house her and get her back on her feet, the state just took someone living a normal life and made them broke and homeless. If your primary concern is insurance rates, fuck you. Fuck you because none of this has a chance of increasing ANYONES insurance because insurance is not paying her lawsuit.

Brussels sprouts have also been bred over the last couple decades to be much less bitter and have generally a better flavour than what we’d have had as kids.

During prohibition era, there was a brick of dried grapes being sold as a nutrition supplement or something like that, but it had a “warning” sticker attached saying specifically not to dissolve it in a specific quantity of water, and if that were to happen, do not let a specific quantity of yeast to fall in it, and especially not to let it sit for 6 weeks, or else you might end up with wine, which is forbidden!

I can see a cheeky sort of company selling a phone with a little warning label attached to it…
