I'm pretty sure Reddit is just down right now, even the app isn't working.

I suspect the but am not sure that the same nothing would happen if you plugged it into a different outlet in the room. Since reason nothing happened here was claimed to be that the connections are all shared, and since outlets are wired from one outlet to the next, they would still share the hot, neutral, and ground.

But if they have more customers then they have to spend more resources making more product. So 1 customer at 1000x the price is more valuable than 1000 customers at the a lower price. If it costs 28 dollars to make a year's worth of doses like this screenshot claims, then they'd make $42,222 charging a single customer the current price, while they'd only make $12,000 charging 1,000 customers the proposed price.

So for the company to make more money than they are now, they'd need 3,519 new customers for every one current customer. Since Google says there are 1.2 million people with HIV in the United States, if they have more than 342 current customers in the united states, they are making more now than they could ever make at the proposed price. Therefore the amount of new customers is almost certainly not worth it to them.

Money seems to ruin pretty much everything about healthcare.

I don't think I want to watch a video about cats dying, but, yeah, it's a really bad thing.

One of the litter boxes must have killed his cat...

I mean, the primary benefit of fast food is that you can swing by and get a prepared meal on your lunch break. You can't really do that at a sit down place unless you order in advance. They lost the 'fast' part too, since they don't want to pay the amount of people it takes to run their stores though. Now the only benefit they have going for them is their hours, and they're slipping there for the most part, since most places are still running on reduced hours because COVID gave them the excuse to never bring their old hours back.

If he was fully committed to the bit, he wouldn't have hidden his SSN from this picture.

There were a few games that worked on the OG gameboy, but were GameBoy color games, the ones that come to mind first are Pokemon Gold and Silver. You could play them on the og gameboy, without color and missing some hardware features, or you could play them on the Gameboy Color as they had intended you do. It was a really nice addition.

I always thought of the GBC as its own generation, since the games were mostly incompatible, just as I thought of the GBA as its own generation for the same reason, but really, it's almost just arbitrary.

Oh yeah, I know it.

We could get something like UMDs from the PSP again though. Haha!

I'm impressed they're sticking with cartridges, since that has been a source of issues with some games. I appreciate it myself. I like them.

This guy is kind of silly for saying that this has been the only time there have been games that fit into the old system, since you could totally put Gameboy Color games into the Gameboy Pocket, they just wouldn't work. They'd scold you and be like "This game can only be played on the GameBoy Color!".

I hope there's no forward compatibility, where games must target the lower spec hardware, since that's the same thing holding the Xbox Series X/S, I hope there's backwards compatibility though, it'd be nice to tuck my old Switch into storage.

I don't think AVGN is a reliable source, it's entertainment. There have been many moments where it's clear (to me) that he's just pretending to be stupid or bad at games just to give the viewer a laugh, so I'd take this one with a grain of salt.
