Brightline is commuter rail. We have a bunch of little trains connecting to close cities. What we don’t have more than one of is passenger rail, where you can hop on a train in Seattle and get off in New York.

Except for Amtrak that serves… Everything. There is no passenger rail service in the U.S. other than Amtrak.

Great! Thanks! You’ve just doomed us to get the Linux Saturn, which will be appreciated by some, but ultimately fail against SuperWindows and Windows 64. After that we’ll get something beautiful, the Linux Dreamcast, but it will be too little too late, as just a few months later, Apple releases the MacStation2, which most people buy because it has a DVD player built in, and the Linux Dreamcast kind of just dies… 25 years later, and Linux is making Linux Classics compilations and new games starring Tux for the WindowsSwitch2.

My point wasn’t really about the price, but availability. You said you remembered Walkman as “way way later than the 70s” and I was just pointing out that, technically, they were kind of around the WHOLE 70s, just not priced or marketed in a way that they would have been very common, and hence why you remember them “way way later” (probably sometime around 82-84, right?)

The Walkman came out in 79 and was cheap enough for a present to a teen or young adult by 82, at the latest. Hell, if you wanted to raid your parents’ stuff, they may well have had a (mono) folio style cassette recorder or even a Sony TC-50 cassette recorder/player (which looks exactly* like a Walkman), made as early as 1968! They brought them to the Moon during the Apollo program. That’s right, cassettes technically came BEFORE 8-Tracks.

But they were too expensive until the late 70s, and by then most people already had an 8-track collection, so it took a few more years to mass adopt.

Why so many fingers?

Selling stuff at cost is already selling stuff at a loss if you factor in labor and overhead. How long can you go losing money? Probably not as long as Walmart or Target or Amazon. That’s what they’re betting in.

Employing your exact strategy is how Amazon became one of the largest corporations on the planet. In fact, they still sell their entire Amazon Basics line at a loss for this reason.

Not sure where you’re from, but in the U.S., at least, nooses have a specific historical and cultural meaning. It’s illegal to tie a noose with 13 or more coild in the u.s. for this reason, and it has nothing to do with suicide.

Maybe then, you should consider where your hate is coming from, especially if the stuff you’re saying is word-for-word state propaganda.

This is Hasbara. So is everything else that you’ve written in this thread and, looking at your post and comment history, it looks like the MAJORITY of what you type up on lemmy is Hasbara.

Sooo, and I’m pretty against fedjacketing people online, and find that it can be pretty dangerous. But I’m fairly confident you are working for Mossad.

You can simply take the side of innocent people here, you know?

This isn’t two sports teams going against each other. There are people okay with the mass killing of an entire people to further their own political and ideological goals, and there are those who are not. It really doesn’t need to be any more complicated than that.

I have never seen a human, let alone a woman, behave like this.

This pretty much explains the rest of your comment.

I swear to God, the government has done a good job of making people forget about the Snowden leak.

Many governments, all over the world, but especially the U.S. and China, can and are installing physical hardware backdoors into essentially every consumer grade phone and computer in the market.

The only think I know Chick-Fil-A for is funding conversion therapy camps and fascist politicians. That’s enough for me to never step foot in one

Bezos explicitly undercut the competition for years to drive all of the competition out of business. Amazon took as much time from 1997-2016 to make as much profit as they did in 2017, which is also (not) coincidentally when they hit peak market saturation and were able to start raising their prices.

So what you’re talking about was real, but it wasn’t like, “back when Amazon was good”, they were just preparing for what they are now. Having a huge monopoly on just about everything has always been their win condition, and they’re no where near done winning.

Umm… Source?
