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...

Just do it, once your city has enough money if the bank, or your income is large enough, double down on making a highway. Demolish some buildings and tear your city in half, just like in real life. Most of the time if you have enough traffic that you need a highway in the town, you could probably avoid it in game, by enhancing the public transit options, however, that wouldn't be realistic as to how cities are really run, so doing a highway every now and again is a fun change of pace.

The best way to get good at making a highway, is to make a highway, you can do it, set it up however you want, and see how it works. If something doesn't work right, change it and find out how to make it work for you. Or if it is broken, it may be more fun to leave it broken. Stuff like that happens in real cities all the time.

Make sure you adjust your public transit options when you're done splitting your city in half with your highway, since your bus routes will be interrupted.

Michelle Obama would have lost for sure. Remember, she's the one who all the kiddos were blaming for having their school lunches ruined forever. And whenever kids ask why their school lunches suck today, they still get the response, "It was Michelle Obama's fault".

Obama was elected sixteen years ago, so anyone who was in school at all at that time can vote now, so we have nearly 20 years of voters who will hate this person for ruining their lunches when they were children. It would never work out and would have been a really poor choice to run her, since Dems typically require the younger vote.

The issue is on the host's end. They have most likely put the wrong local IP into the server.properties file. Have your friend find the line that is server-ip= and have them put the IP of the VPN's network interface if it has one. That should make it so that the traffic for the minecraft server is through the VPN instead of though their real network.

Slice like... the pizza website?

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.

I will never forgive Jersey Mike's.

A few years back they stole some much more valuable fast food places from me, and replaced it with Great Value Subway. I was pretty upset, because I could just go to get Subway down the road, since there are like 2 billion Subways, and then Mr. Mike rolls up and is like "Let's make 2 billion more Subways." I don't really want one Subway, so in what world would I ever want two? Give me an A&W or a Long John Silvers or something. Or maybe an A&W/Long John Silvers.
