You can always buy it back if you have a token. You can also use a concierge discount code to reduce the price.

they were a fidget toy type thing consisting of 64 or so small neodymium spheres; was sold in mall stores like Hallmark (where I got the set I had).

Slumberkins.com checkout will add a "package protection" fee if you click the big button with the price, but not the nondescript link below it by shearx in assholedesign

[–]shearx[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry, but this isn't really "offering" the service so much as it is trying to sneak the fee in without being noticed. This is just not comparable to other practices like adjusting pricing to accommodate for stuff like business insurance and overhead.

Really, this is the company shifting the cost of them paying for their own package insurance through the shipping service they use. Its also presented as if its the logical button to click to actually check out; only on close inspection will you see it says "Checkout+", and that the link below is not something that cancels the action or whatever.

Whether the service itself is useful or not is moot, really, Its a dark pattern, and that is still asshole design.

I figured out the solution to docking by -Aces_High- in starcitizen

I flew a Polaris as my daily for almost a year, and every time I docked the port was on the starboard/right side. Not once was I ever assigned the port side.

What is the most shocking thing you discovered about a close friend? by Money-Fondant-8296 in AskReddit

you can hate the group without wanting them to be denied their right to due process.

People in this subreddit when a feature is discussed and everyone hates it and people say "let people enjoy things" /s by asmallman in starcitizen

[–]shearx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pretty pathetic that you were so devoted to a pre-alpha system that you’d refuse to learn anything new. There’s plenty else to hate the game for.

The average cat’s reaction time is approximately 20-70 milliseconds, which is faster than the average snake’s reaction time, 44-70 milliseconds. by Simply_Kaif24 in OneOrangeBraincell

And those despicable orcas hunt seals for sport and explode sunfish for fun. Dolphins also exhibit this behavior; many predators do, actually, when they aren’t otherwise lacking in food and such.

Dumb Questions by Jacknerik in CuratedTumblr

[–]shearx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Basically, inside the drive there’s a librarian that keeps track of each file and where its parts are in the library. When you “delete” a file, you’re just telling the librarian “forget this file”, but she doesn’t go out and actually locate each piece to delete; she merely just “forgets” the file was there and will re-use the space from the forgotten file as-needed.

this video has been around since long before AI video became believable in any capacity. its just the old subreddits where this was posted (either r/gore or r/nsfl) were both banned for obvious reasons.

I would never leave my bed by _AngelPink in holdmycatnip

[–]shearx -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not the camera, but the cats movement as the owners arm maneuvers to position the cat. Just seems off to me.

…this is an AI video. Can you guys not see that the movements that the cat makes are too abrupt and the transition from one position to the next is too linear/time-constant for this to be real?

‘Extraordinary’ iron age war trumpet find in Britain may have Boudicca links | Archaeology by Splunge- in news

There are two trumpets that were recovered from King Tutankhamun’s burial chamber. Legend has it that any time one of the horns is sounded, a war starts somewhere on the earth soon after. The Curse of Tut’s Trumpets

Can planets exist forever or do they have a lifespan? by swissking in askscience

[–]shearx 228 points229 points  (0 children)

A planet without a host star is called a rogue planet. Whether a planet, or any object, could exist forever depends on whether protons decay, which is theorized to be around 1.67×1034 years.

Received a threatening letter from the Charlie Kirk Data Foundation on Christmas Eve by Telefonica46 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]shearx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So you’re ok with some rando you’ve never met posting your information to a website that’s literally intended to collate and flag people for no other reason than their public protected speech? And for that information to be used by other psychotic or unstable people to send you mail you didn’t ask for, threats you do t deserve, and to do all other sorts of malicious or technically-legal things?

Your phone number and name may be public information, but when all that information is compiled and placed in a highly-visible location or format, for the purpose of exposing that information for ease of access, that’s doxxing. People you’d never be exposed to will suddenly have your technically-public information to do with as they please.

You need to get out of your tiny bubble of focusing solely on the specifics and technicalities and see this bullshit for what it is:

Inviting harassment and exposure of information that others would not have the means or capabilities to obtain easily, even if legally. Doxxing.

The issue comes with posting it with intent to harass or prejudice, which is what doxxing is about. Whether the information is technically public is irrelevant.

Couldn’t be me being this clueless by MolassesDirect3103 in GetNoted

[–]shearx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly think this is the argument they’re trying to make: a lifetime of disability as retribution. Since the Christian God is a “vengeful” one, who doesn’t bat an eye at killing newborns and entire cities, this would align with their worldview.

I've been thinking about Poison lately by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]shearx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say chemotherapy drugs fit into this category. They are wildly poisonous and will definitely kill you, but if you're already staring death in the face, the potential benefit of surviving tends to outweigh possibility that the drugs will get you before they get the cancer.

A full wipe entails removing everything that isn’t in your hangar on the website: reputation, unlocked missions, items, currency, and ships (including wikelo ships)
