Really it goes back on to the seller. Because if I don't get my item, I'm going to dispute the charge on my credit card. Eventually, someone pays, but not me.


Because people believe it, and courts have accepted as fact that DNA evidence is infallible. Certainly there have been cases where DNA has been successfully challenged, but those are very rare. In the overwhelming number of cases where DNA evidence is present, it is a self-fulfilling prophecy for juries and judges.

If there is DNA evidence that is almost a guilty verdict. It should be more closely scrutinized but not everyone is rich enough to afford a real defense.


Same thing happened to Barbara Mukulski of Maryland. She just stopped showing up unless her vote was absolutely necessary


Remember when Steve Jobs returned to Apple and simplified the product line? I feel like Apple needs that again.


That was for a company that was struggling and had a much smaller customer base. As your market grows you can afford to tailor your offerings to better match different customers needs.

For the iPad, they basically have the good, better, best product line with the addition of the Mini for special cases. It's not really that complicated.

I'd say that the main complications are that the Pencil Pro only works on the Air and Pro and the keyboards have to fit the exact case size so they are not as universal as ideal. Most people don't need the pencil and not everyone needs the keyboards.


People keep bringing up this tired trope without realizing even in 2010 when Jobs was still around, you had three segments of all of their products.

Desktops - Mac Mini, iMac, Mac Pro.

Laptops - Air, MacBook, MacBook Pro

iPods - Shuffle, Nano and regular iPod

Phones - 3G, 3GS, and iPhone 4


I love my iPad because of the pencil. I got rid of an office overflowing with paper, and I write everything in an app on the iPad. It then gets saved up into the cloud. That alone has made iPad worth it for me. Sometimes I watch movies on it.


this already exists in the form of medical facilities for inmates with mental and physical limitations.


I maintain that we do NOT have a housing crisis, only a crisis of not enough housing in cities and places where people want to live. Instead, we have a neighborhood and zoning problem.


I think you can convince just about anyone to hate given time and the right circumstances, but it's even easier IMO when it is prescribed to groups. Then in-group dynamics reinforce the behavior.


Yeah, that’s the beauty of it. within two hours, the movie has convinced the audience that a delusional murderer is their ingroup, society at large is their outgroup, and we should rejoice as the world burns and innocents are killed.


Large quantities of chili pose a risk

That may be true, but what about a small quantity of a potent chili? While I am not a fan of very spicy foods (quite mild if you don't mind) I think this is a waste of government resources and time. As long as the customer is clearly made aware the product they are purchasing is very spicy, that is enough.


I strongly disagree that they are wasting resources and time. One of the main missions of such organizations is to protect customers' health. You can look up, for example, the origins of the FDA and why it was introduced.

It's clearly not enough to make customers aware, given how easily TikTok creates trends especially among teenagers. There are no age restrictions, unlike with Red Bull and other high-caffeine drinks, so anyone can buy these products without understanding or caring about the potential consequences, even if they are clearly stated on the packaging (though I am not sure if they are).

It would be interesting to see if there is a body of research on the effects of capsaicin on health.


It is definitely regional. I read in a book about grocery stores that the stores only stock about 10% of items that are uncommon for a given market area. Everything else is based on priory buying history, which is why you might find different items in different parts of the country for the same grocery brand; i.e. Kroger.
