Who doesn't work with ICE, at this point?

Thanks for the tip. We'll see if it bares out.

Do get the sense that these third-party sites are going to become an increased necessity, as data-scrappers and trackers try to peg the price of a flight to the credit card limit of the buyer.

But... idk, I'm not seeing anything on this site that I can't find by directly querying individual airlines. (Like so many other budget airline calculators) there's no inclusion of Southwest on the list. And if the odd deal is inevitably just going to be through JetBlue anyway? Why not shop direct?

Idk, there's definitely something fitting about 200 half-starved sailors doing the hover-ass over malfunctioning toilets on the USS Donald J Trump.

Lotteries, 60% is not uncommon, but people like it at the very slight off chance they take the big price.

I think its more that you don't have the time or opportunity to play a hand of poker in the same way you have to buy a scratch ticket at a gas station.

Their competitors have already sold out their entire 2027 production.

Plenty of which will inevitably turn up on the secondary market.

The money they make selling RAM to private consumers is not even 1 promille of their revenue.

The RAM they sell to home-labbers and hobbyists, sure. The RAM they're selling to Dell and Lenovo and Apple? A significantly higher chunk of their revenues. But that's a side issue. These kinds of RAM sticks are largerly fungible.

The new high end AI datacenters are building out specialty hardware that isn't PC compatible. And the real worry is that these firms migrate over to the AI datacenter designs in a way that causes a semi-permanent shortage on the independent PC side.

Yes, but none of them are Chinese.

An enfranchised majority has been picking the corpses of an increasingly impoverished and precarious underclass.

They aren't hurting themselves. One half is making a living hurting the other.

Ohio has consistently voted more conservative than Texas over the last twelve years.

It's the Florida of the Midwest, hollowed out by racism and fraud.

Even better...

Texas families have two more weeks to apply for the state's school voucher program. That's because of two new lawsuits that claim the state is excluding Islamic private schools from participating.

...

The state comptroller's office runs the voucher program. In January, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said the agency has the right to exclude schools from participating.

over 90% of what is wagered gets returned to bettors in the form of winnings

As someone who has gambled once or twice, this seems like a wild overestimate.

Okay, yeah sure. That looks bad. But how much did those Americans win back?

I mean, the “we can’t afford domestic spending” is also their way of transitioning domestic spending to privatize industries to enrich themselves and their buddies.

Curious to see how we never have a dime to spend on public school, but we've always got another million for vouchers to church-owned ones.

We can't afford domestic spending, but we also can't to afford NOT to spend $1.5T on the Pentagon (plus hundreds of billions more on NSA / DHS / FBI / etc).

It's an Oops, All Cops federal budget going forward, folks.

You can just hit the bricks. You're an adult. Nobody is stopping you.

its frankly a miracle they were even able to trademark “Demon Hunters” because it’s so generic

Far easier than you'd think. The patent office is understaffed and the rules for this kind of thing are fairly loose.

If you point at someone on a site like Lemmy and say "Christian", you can gin up a lot of reflexive hate with a headline. "Christian Rock Band" is an even more target rich source of ire.

Sometimes you can just issue a lawsuit and collect on the nuisance value alone. Sort of a get-rich-quick secret of the pharaohs. If you have a lawyer in pocket and your time is less valuable than their money, filing in a friendly court with a plausible case can be worth five or six figures easy. The defense attorneys will cost more than that anyway.

For the next-level shit, go check out how the Westboro Baptist Church makes money. They effectively thrive on lawsuits by being as annoying as possible and then filing claims against anyone who takes a swing at them.

Only in Heaven. And even then, everything I've read about the guy upstairs suggests he's fine with this shit.

Canada–China trade war

Might be worth doing a little research. Canada's never been shy about using them.
