The store has a profit margin, so the store values the item significantly less than the sticker price.

You can be a pirate? Why join the navy when

Spaghetti is the hardest pasta to cook. You have to keep stirring it to ensure it doesn't clump together, but you can't stir it too hard or it breaks apart.

Star Wars despecialized edition.

In 1997 George Lucas updated the original trilogy with new special effects, and every release since then has been the new special edition.

Fans have gone through a painstaking archival effort to track down the "despecialized" original release in as high quality as possible.

It's not uncommon to speed, drink drive, etc, that doesn't mean those things are right. There's all sorts of obstacles that might end up on a regular road that you should be able to stop for. Fallen rocks, fallen trees, pedestrians, cyclists, parked cars, traffic tailbacks.

And remember, the bridge did have warnings, which happened to be removed by vandals. That's not the city's fault.

$180 for a new 4TB USB SSD? Hard drives are becoming pointless.

Between power, hardware, and harddrives, an *arr stack works out more expensive than this unless you self host a bunch of other services. I self host because it's a fun hobby, not to save money.

That's always been the way with Apple. If you fit into the 0.1% of users that can make use of their products, it's good value. If you don't, it's bad value and so locked down there's nothing you can do about it. Most people don't need what Apple is offering, yet buy it anyway. That's the part I don't get.

Absolutely those things are different. But the point of a search engine is to, crudely and algorithmically, sort out both.

Every (for profit)company is a monetization company. That's the definition of a company.

I agree in this case.

But there's a narrative that software needs regular updates or it's worthless, but some things are just done and stable.
