Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Ok, honestly, is cast-iron really any better than a non-stick, stainless, copper (anything else?) pan?

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Microsoft spent two years and $1B developing the Kin mobile phone line, which failed after just 48 days in 2010(May 14-June 30) due to poor sales. They blamed Verizon for not promoting it enough
31·6 days agoThe point of the Kin was that it was supposed to create a new service tier in between dumb phones and smart phones with expensive plans. At the time phones came with 2 year contracts that subsidized the cost of the phone. A basic plan came with $175 worth of subsidy which covered a dumb phone. If you added $30/month for unlimited data, you would get $350 off the the up front cost of a smart phone.
Microsoft’s idea was that parents didn’t want to pay that much for a smart phone for their teens. But a teen would get plenty of benefit from something in between which would allow them to use a non SMS messaging service and browse social media. Plus it had a keyboard.
It’s still Verizon’s fault. But it wasn’t lack of promotion. The Kin didn’t make sense without the accompanying plan.

Shitty Life Pro Tip@lemmy.world•SLPT: Google how to do a different crime every single day. That way if you do commit a crime later in life, your search history won't give you away.

Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•The only grocery store in town now carries frozen sushi

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why isn't it considered vegan to harvest animals who die naturally?
41·19 days agoFor the sake of argument I think you could say that you’re depriving a scavenger of a meal. I don’t know if that’s how veganism is usually framed.

41·21 days agoFixing the supply problem fixes the hoarding problem. Housing is an attractive investment because it’s scarce. Once you build enough, investors will invest in something else.
