It’s almost universally the one constant that can be relied on under any circumstance

New investors were covering existing loans you mean!
No Ponzi scheme here, nothing of the sort. Just good old economics!

But yes, they sold apartments and used the proceeds to finance existing, already sold buildings that weren’t built yet.

The M2 is slightly different in that it’s been actively kept in service (like the mg3 or the m3 Carl Gustav), which the Maxim hasn’t been (that I know of). Plenty of other old weapon systems have been, though.

That bullshit piece of paper seemingly everyone signs is, in my opinion, the dumbest thing there is. As a child you are effectively forced to sign said document, and as a minor you really can’t enter into binding agreements anyway. Both of which do not improve the ‘legality’ of those documents.

I was fairly well behaved, I’d say, but I never felt any sort of reason to specifically follow that guide, especially as it was forced on us. I expect a lot of other more self-aware children feel similar when still in school.

Overall it’s just a symptom of the proper resources missing.

That does leave out the highly questionable ‘settlements’ in Palestinian territories…

I mean, the NAND chips can be replaced fairly effectively if you know what you’re doing

It was a badly thought out product, I agree. It also failed quite spectacularly because of it. I just brought it up because it was actually a really good deal based on the device quality itself. Sadly the entire press can’t even use normal burlap pouches with fruit inside, it doesn’t produce the pressure. It might have been a turd, but by god, they put as much gold on it as they could.

I think juicers themselves can be a good product, but not with an idiotic business model behind it too. Oh and they should not require WiFi access for DRM verification of the juice packets and device.

At least they don’t tend to go around taking hostages and raping them. Honestly I was almost supportive of Hamas in this, before finding out that they’re behaving even worse than the animals they claim to be fighting. I think you loose all legitimacy when you go out of your way to cause unneeded harm

It was still a bad post, at least based on how it reads to the average unknowing person.

I think you’ve worded it very succinctly. There’s layers, but it doesn’t excuse the event itself.

Aldi is a discount grocery store. You’d need to go to DM/Rossman for that stuff. Alternatively, the large grocery stores probably carry some stuff as well, but they’re still a different category of store.
