I learned of nujabes from listening to the Samurai Champloo soundtrack. It's one of my favorite albums to listen to when running

The first time I got to go to the slopes as a kid, I chose snowboarding (we were renting equipment). And I learned that it was rather recent that snowboards were fully-allowed to be used on their resort. Something about requiring the board to have a metal edge, if you brought your own? I don't fully remember. I was too young to realize that snowboarding was not allowed on many ski slopes, or that the divide was ever a thing

Then Johnny Tsunami came out and it blew my mind a little that it really must have been a whole thing. I kinda came in, just as snowboarding was more universally accepted, like early 90's.

No point to my story, I just always think about my first "ski" trip, anytime I'm reminded that snowboarding used to be banned

Maybe the 30 day decrease in profit would be worth the additional units sold later (possibly at a slightly elevated price), due to the marketing of a perceived "deal".

I guess there's a lot of variables that could come into play (type of product, inventory, how many units need to sell over a time period to break even, etc), but it doesn't seem implausible, so much as it does dependent. But idk, I still can't figure out how the fuck magnets work, let alone accounting

Why are you not?

What's up with this product price of $99 for a "re-usable straw" that listed near the beginning for me

It's list price is $99,999 with an average of $68,267.48?! I obviously wouldn't be purchasing from that vendor for many reasons; but how easy is it to manipulate prices for a website like this? Or maybe it's a vendor that's trying to make the website seem useless? Or just a one-off?

Idk, it caught my eye right off the bat though lol

I kinda assumed it would still be "striked through", or maybe "stricken through" because of the typographic term "strikethrough". But "struck through" also seems like it could be correct

I'ma need an expert typographical linguist to weigh-in on this matter. The world needs an answer

Or raise the price 31 days prior, and "drastically discount" it after. It seems like a cool policy in theory, but it also sounds like it doesn't really have any teeth. Like a "political theater" kind of law. But who's to say, maybe it could be someone's poli-sci thesis some day.

Or I'm just dumb and don't understand something fundamental about it; I also except that

So if you raise the price 31 days prior, and then put the discount on, you should still be good to squeeze more profit!

It's more the fact that it wasn't an obvious fee. I can deal with checking-in with a phone, but it would've been nice if it had been more obvious that there was a fee if I didn't. Live and learn

I was charged a fee for checking-in with the person at the counter, instead of checking-in using their website or app. It's deliberately scummy

I follow one for news articles. I don't need nor want the comments. I also follow several news communities from lemmy; just a way for me to aggregate.

Have you charged your phone yet?
