I think "great" carries a sort of connotation as if engineers expect it might work once or twice. From the sounds of it, the better description of the submersible for the surviving trips might be that it worked miraculously. Basically divine intervention that they made it back even once.

Yeah, Aliexpress. All the same stuff as Amazon but at a discount you get for being patient.

I'm sure they'll deactivate your account over that, though, maybe blacklist you. Sucks if you need them for something and cannot risk the chargeback.

That is better but I don't know if it brings it down to reality.

You may as well buy from Aliexpress if you are shopping on Amazon. The only difference is the price and the transit time.

Going from 1 TB to 2 TB SSD on this iPad is somehow $400? That is a clown price but it is a 50% discount on going from 512 GB to 1 TB. What the actual fuck?

Whats the cost of a human life brah?

That depends on if grandma is being evaluated by an Obama Death Panel (life is precious and invaluable) or by the stock market in 2020 (she has, what, a couple years left anyway, let her die).

They can go whether the driver wants them to or not once the pedal is stuck down. (Unless they've been mildly dampened outside of car wash mode.)
