Did your wife's boyfriend give you the phone to use Lemmy today?

I wouldn't endorse Mangakakalot, they had some involvement in the Mangadex DDOS/breach a couple years back. Not to mention unlike MD they're a scan aggregator, which basically means they take scans from other sites (like Mangadex) and slap ads on top of them.

Not really, if you're doing your weekly shop all in one go (especially for a family), it can make sense that your weekly shop can be more than you can carry and thus you need something to help you carry it. I wouldn't want to lug 4-5 bags of shopping onto a bus where I'm going to piss someone off because I placed them on the seat, nor do I want to try to balance all that on the handlebars of a bike where a single fuckup or pothole I can't see will lose me lots of money in shopping.

I don't personally do those sorts of large shops, but people are busy and literally schedule this in their week so it's not insane.

Or hey, maybe more people could shop online? With well planned routes it could be more efficient than lots of people all travelling to one place.

Well you'd have to have gotten a lobotomy to want to buy beats in the first place.

Most mobile operators in the UK have stopped with SMS limits (unless you're on the really really cheap plans or PAYG). Guess people just don't use them enough to warrant caps on it.

I don't think Intel is too worried about boycotts because a significant portion of their customer base is businesses.

The only real sector of their customer base that would even do a boycott is the independent PC builders, and I doubt even 5% of those customers would follow through.

Your average consumer doesn't even know what the hell an "intel" is or why they should care, it's just a sticker they see on their laptop/PC.

They do update the learning material over time as recommendations for teaching the languages changes, plus they do have server costs to keep in mind.

He survived 8 years with it though, whilst refusing normal medical attention. Given that, had he dealt with it in the first or even second year he'd have probably had a good shot at surviving.

I guess money won't fix arrogance mixed with stupidity. Such a shame...

What no repairability, a huge walled garden and the conditioning of teens to bully others over bubble colours does to a stock price
