Lots of vendors set their prices algorithmically… So like when competitors raise their prices or demand seems high for some reason or something, the price will auto-adjust to theoretically maximize profits. The algorithms are often pretty dumb.
So sometimes when you see something like this, you’re witnessing a dynamic pricing algorithm spiraling out of control because it wasn’t implemented very well, and nobody’s paying attention.
It’s Vitamin D. There was this whole thing during the COVID pandemic about how the FDA/CDC were SUSPICIOUSLY QUIET about how impactful Vitamin D levels were on COVID outcomes or something and how that’s how you know that… something something sinister ulterior motives.
So like the idea was that everybody going outside and getting some sun was actually the best thing for public health, but THEY were telling you to languish inside under lockdowns, because clearly they didn’t want you to be healthy.
Nice! Hope it works out. For sharing publicly, you might look at something like Immich Public Proxy, if it seems like you need it.
Does Immich meet your needs?
I just need someone who can be both a psychoanalyst and therapist.
PSA: Inkscape is good now!
How is your network handling telemetry shenanigans?
When they send over these time travelers, they’re not sending their best…
Lol why is Aqua Net hairspray specifically the thing that takes them down? Like other brands of hairspray don’t work? Spray paint or Elmer’s glue or maple syrup aren’t effective? You can’t just throw a bedsheet over them or hit them with a crowbar?
Lol I went through the exact same process.
Can confirm. Mine will take about 3 days to charge from very low to full on a regular wall outlet. Still worth it sometimes though, like when I’m visiting family or camping or something. If I’m gonna spend the day somewhere (like 6+ hours, let’s say) it might be worth it.
Well who else is he gonna exercise?
It’s just any time there’s that much excitement, it must be no good, you know?
Well yes it needs to be inaugurated first, which will not happen until January.
I interpreted “it” in the post title as referring to Linux. Firefox is “just a browser,” but Linux is not.
Playing Diplomacy I’m pretty sure violates the Geneva convention.
Yep, you did it-- Mint is the right answer!
Damn okay well if the hackers are at that level I guess you’re just screwed.
Mine is not a Tesla, and its range is exaggerated… Or at least its range has a hidden asterisk that would read “under ideal conditions with a gentle driving style.” It self-adjusts based on my recent driving history, and I mostly don’t let the battery get low enough that I have to care about how precise it is… But it definitely skews heavily optimistic, especially when I first bought the car. It’s roughly the same in that regard as a Tesla is, according to the Tesla drivers I know.
Oh interesting-- Yeah gaming the recommendation/search algorithms is another, related explanation. Like I know someone with an Etsy store who says that various things, like running out of stock or putting your store in “vacation mode” will hurt your store’s visibility, so people find ways to game it. Totally makes sense that the same kind of thing would be going on on Amazon.
Weird that they’d allocate ad spend at the same time that they were out of stock, but like I said, the algorithms are pretty coarse and probably just not that coordinated.
