I'd like to be a human on the wall in that room!

Acceleration in physics terms just means a change in velocity. Velocity is speed in a given direction. The steering wheel, gas pedal, and brake pedal all accelerate the vehicle.

If I remember right, each new account has the same subs subscribed to by default. Idk what they are and won't make a new account to find out lol. I assume those are the ones.

Maybe I misinterpreted either your previous comments or what the article is saying. But I can agree with that.

I can agree with that, perhaps I misinterpreted the previous comments.

The burden of proof should be on whoever is making a claim. If someone accuses me of doing something with no evidence, my verbal denial shouldn't be skeptical without proof. Brother isn't in a position that they should require to provide proof against the claim being made against them. I didn't see any mention in the article of other user's printers being bricked aside from the original claim from 2022. Maybe some further investigation would come up with something, but claims made on Reddit posts and YouTube videos hardly count as proof of anything.

I dont see how the burden of proof is on Brother. If you're looking for verification from tens of thousands of other printer users and hearing crickets, i think you have your answer.

Buying Blu-ray, going to theaters, and buying merchandise aren't alternatives to owning digitally. I won't speak for all pirates, but I just want to own a digital copy of what i pay for. Even streaming with a paid subscription isn't a viable alternative. I don't pirate to protest, I pirate because there's no other choice.

Instead of issuing refunds on any purchased in game currency, Zynga informs players should quickly spend it in game before the game shuts down lmao

Yes my department store example was kind of alluding to that. As far as video games go, either sales are poor, or the game was never worth the original price. Also sales such as the ones Steam has are often great for advertising. I always see games I've never heard of. Those developers take a hit on their per unit price so that they can potentially sell more units. The fact that these are digital items means they aren't losing money on manufacturing costs. Patient gamer communities exist for customers that smell the bullshit.

It may make becoming a citizen easier, but no it doesn't automatically make you one. Not in the US at least.

Companies often create incentives so that their customers will want to buy more of their products. Sales exist within every industry and happen for various reasons. Even with your example of grocery stores, there are other reasons for having sales. I believe it was Kmart that had the famous blue light special. Publix, a southeastern US chain has a weekly rotating sale. Costco has a similar rotating sale. Maybe items are deteriorating, maybe there is an excess of stock. Maybe an item goes on sale for the purpose of luring customers into a store in hopes that they will buy more things. Maybe the item of sale already had a huge markup and the sale brings the price down so there is only a moderate markup, which is often employed by department stores in malls. There are many more reasons for a company to put items of sale i won't get into here.
