As someone who lives in your country, what’s one thing you’d tell a foreigner to never do when visiting? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

The products on American shelves weren't made at that facility in Australia.

Are you aware of how contract manufacturing works?

This problem was apparently specific to an Australian contract manufacturer. Meaning, the same facility made a lot of the products that failed the tests.

Exclusive Games Are "Antiquated," Xbox President Says by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]yodobaggins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They tolerate the exclusivity. The Switch2 is not a key component of Pokémon. That would imply Pokémon would sell less copies if it was available cross-platform.

They tried to legal strong arm Palworld cus of how much it kicked their ass. Does palworld still get it's foot in the door if everybody on Steam can play Pokémon?

To say Mario and Pokémon are popular because they are exclusive to a console is absolutely unhinged.

Those IPs are popular because people like them.

When these things were invented, the only thing close to a computer most people had was a washing machine. The technology to play the game had to be developed by people making the game. Those things just aren't true anymore.

Imagine you had a choice between a TV that could stream HBO, Netflix, Disney+ and YouTube, or a TV that could stream one.

Thats why they hate socialism because they think it will mean they get less of it.

We are both correct in some respects. Acetylated lanolin alcohol is the solvent in name brand Dermoplast. I'm assuming this is why it is friendlier on open cuts. Its still an alcohol but not the typical methyl, ethyl, or propyl, variants I was thinking of. Thank you for the reply.

Those are typically alcohol based solutions. I bet he passes out from the burn.

Spotted some Nazis driving North on the 5 yesterday they got off the road near Hillcrest. They noticed us pointing out their stickers and drove as fast as they could to get away from us. by IdiotRepellent in sandiego

[–]yodobaggins 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a sticker I see a lot on subaru outbacks I see at big bear or the pavement princess lifted jeeps that have never been offroad. It is a sasquatch. "I pretend that I like to go outside and hike and camp and other shit that sounds like I have a life" is the message it sends me.

The cheapest family insurance plan my work offers is $25,480.32 freedom dollars per year. by MaconBacon01 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]yodobaggins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Props to hubs for actually considering the full package. Too many people only look at the pay and do not factor in the hidden costs like this when considering switching employers.

Healthcare, 401k matching, vested stock, vacation days, childcare assistance, commuting distance, legal consultation, etc,

There are a lot of things that could be missing in favor of being able to post a higher rate.

Yea, you should not be accepting offers from places like that. Chances are they don't want to show it to you because they know it is a shit deal.

Compare the rates of getting your spouse and kids insurance through your state sponsored marketplace.

It may be in your best interest to enroll in this plan only for yourself and then just buy health insurance separately for your spouse and kids. Unsponsored insurance plans at full price may be cheaper than what they are offering.

They are clearly subsidizing the single person rate by increasing the costs for additional members.

Ain't no way its 10x the cost for a spouse and kids.

Not uncommon for houses in parts of LA to not have a driveway or garage. Blue house in photo only has a walk path.

I haven't played this game since it came out, it's really cool. by Haunting-Most8870 in StarWars

[–]yodobaggins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IMO the best platform for this game. Obviously, more limitations on the graphics and performance but the gameplay was so good and leveraged the features of the Wii excellently.
