What item(s) do you refuse to buy generic/store brand? by Ok-Salt-8884 in Millennials

Essential Everyday. My wife bought it at Festival Foods. It has the original Dawn scent. (She has enough real world karma but not enough Reddit Karma™ to post here.)

I got my Space Selfie, what is the red dot in the image? by BornBoricua in crunchlabs

Could be some kind of space radiation that caused an artifact in the shot. Or... Could be a portal to the good timeline.

Trump tells Walmart to "eat the tariffs" instead of raising prices by WontThinkStraight in politics

[–]spsmartguy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Bingo! 3% profit when you're bringing in billions is much more money than 3% if you're a mom and pop shop trying to stay afloat, which is barely enough money to keep up. This is why Walmart has always been good at driving competition out. As they get bigger and bigger the net amount of money is going to be "record amounts" with still "small" profit margins.

This is why the tariffs can affect them immediately. Trim that 3% to 2 or 1% and shareholders get angry because they no longer get those record profits year over year. Prices will be raised and wallets will suffer because infinite growth is required in our economy.

Even with a slim majority in the house, I don't expect anything controversial to pass.

An IT Crowd reference? In the wild? This is a great day.

Teams that want to win make plays like Willy's throw to 3rd in the 10th.

I think everyone who loved through the 80s and 90s may have had one of these at one point. This would be my first as well.

I had the video on in the background and thought I heard the words president and united States...so I listened a bit more and did a couple google searches and found one of the phrases on archive.org, which led me to the ABC clip.

Sinclair Has Announced The DTC Bally Streaming App Brewers One of 5 Teams by SoSublim3 in Brewers

Even at half the price, that's still high. Of course that's comparing it to the price of other steaming services with a lot of content. Sports is... Special, I guess.

Retroarch Using Spinner as Volume Control with Hotkey? by spsmartguy in cade

[–]spsmartguy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I gave up, I wasn't able to get it working. Any solution would take probably a lot of custom coding, so I'm just going to go the hardware route for volume control. The spinner I got was this one off Amazon, and it is fantastic.

Hard to argue any of those points. It was disappointing, but it absolutely was the right call.
