How many wine making regions does the US even have? California and maybe new York is all I see on the East coast.

Most of their domestic wine production is probably consumed domestically.

This stuff is like sweet flavored vodka. You can drink it pretty quick for sure.

EB Games is Canada as well and I know exactly what you mean.

I feel like Funko pops are like an opportunistic infection. When ever you see them it's not a good sign for the host.

The problem is it is rarely an easy proposition to just "pay more and get a better product" especially when it comes to home appliances.

In most big box stores every option will be shit. Companies know that there are consumers at every price point and so they have a product for every price print.

The problem is the expensive isn't really better, it's the same fridge with the same compressor as a cheap one except it has a wifi dongle or a tablet in the door.

Of course there are the Vikings and Thermidors and whatever but those are Velben goods that priced so high that you could get 5 to 10 of the cheap options for the price of one.

  • they are often "cheaper" then what you would have paid in the 80s and they are built to that price
  • they are more efficient, which means every thing has tighter tolerances and thus more likely to break
  • they are more complicated due to the above which means more to break
  • with the above efficiently they use way less water but in my experience that means they clean worse

That's a good choice, I bet it hides dirt really well.

You joke but my dehumidifier has an automatic comfort mode of some sort.

I guarantee that next run will have that button with screen print AI something something above it instead.

Honestly if they spend that on weapons and then use it lower the population it could help.

Shoot maybe Thanos was right...

It doesn't really matter if he sees them, he already knows he is a disingenuous twat. The reality is his followers will see only the tweet as they scroll on by and this response will be somewhere under the fold mixed in with all the bots and simpletons circle jerking about how "true" this tweet is.

This is why these Twitter gotchas don't mean anything. Yelling into the void doesn't break into other people's media bubble it just tells the algorithms that this tweet is getting engagement and should be bumped up.

The two party system is a symptom of the actual cause.

I don't know, they are pretty in tune with their pocket book most of the time.
