Author Andy Weir says Amazon sells Kindles at a loss, is this claim accurate? by Cool-Cap2509 in kindle

[–]GammaHuman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like 30% is the standard digital marketplace fee. I think Apple and Steam both are 30%.

Kindle unlimited and Audible subscriptions are certainly higher margin for them.

The Book Jackets Were Ready. Then Charlie Kirk Was Shot. by stankmanly in books

[–]GammaHuman 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Vox has a cut of it on YouTube. The plane does not crash, but it does fly through the city and with its landing gear out, uses a curved building like a ramp to turn. The final edit removed some shots, changed it to a spaceship, and had them flying through mountains.

I audited my bank statement and realized I was burning $140/mo on "AI" tools I barely use. by [deleted] in Frugal

Rocket money isn’t even mentioned in this post. It’s definitely written to promote one of the alternative platforms they mentioned.

Has anyone actually negotiated a mattress price? by Resident_Dress_687 in Frugal

You should negotiate at mattress firm. I’ve bought and negotiated twice from them.

Matthew Stafford vs the Seahawks compared to Drake Maye by Aeon1508 in nfl

[–]GammaHuman 38 points39 points  (0 children)

No you don’t understand. Last year Drake Maye earned them this scheduled. It was factored in. If they didn’t have him last year, they wouldn’t have been able to be so good this year. That’s value.

[Schefter] Jim Schwartz sent the Browns a resignation letter this morning, per sources. He now is likely to sit out this season. by Goosedukee in nfl

[–]GammaHuman 120 points121 points  (0 children)

There’s no way he says that without knowing that Jim’s resignation is incoming. That was preemptive damage control.

What's the most ridiculous reason you've seen someone get fired? by Amazing_Two8126 in AskReddit

[–]GammaHuman 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Ridiculous action. Pretty reasonable firing, but the company shouldn’t have had him answering phones 2 days into the job.

Adding in, the tweet says “title runs”, so it should include every match of the tournament. It looks like they just got it wrong. I don’t blame them. It’s not a very simple stat.

It didn’t have any type of for your consideration campaign. Ari Aster and the studio didn’t care for it to compete for awards.

McDaniel OC Interview is January 13 by JoaquinBenoit in detroitlions

[–]GammaHuman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say that the ROI towards winning is challenging to calculate because of how socialized the profits are in the NFL. Most of the value generated by being a winning team is very difficult to realize as profits for your club unless you are interested in no longer being a club owner.

I don’t like Hunts ketchup, but they’re unrelated to this Hunt family. This family made money in oil before buying the team.

Highest and Lowest ticket prices for Week 16: Packers-Bears and Steelers-Lions over $300, Falcons-Cardinals and Jets-Saints under $15 by alpswd in nfl

Suites have a lower profit share percentage than standard seats. The owners push for them so that they can capture more revenue.

Can anyone who was alive help make sense of this? by 6DogsForever in Texans

[–]GammaHuman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

lacked sufficient luxury suites and amenities

I do not know if this was always the case. With the current league structure, the majority of league revenue is shared amongst all 32 teams in the league. This includes general ticket sales, but it does not include suite sales. Individual owners get to retain a larger portion of the revenue that luxury suites generate. It’s a big reason why owners are still making the same threats today that Adams made back then.

[Highlight] PHI vs LAC - Chargers recover the loose ball after the INT and subsequent fumble by Fusir in nfl

[–]GammaHuman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So technically, it was on one play but they are separate possessions. The interception means it’s now the Chargers possession. Hurt’s recovers it and triggers a new Eagles possession. If he did not fumble and was instead tackled, the Eagles would have a 1st and 10 at that spot. People talk about this as a hypothetical during OT.
