Thanks, I’ll look into it also. I needed this a couple weeks ago but better late than never!

It certainly wasn’t a thriving business, but I don’t think it’s purely a correlation isn’t causation situation. The points about clientele not adapting are probably valid, given the evidence suggests that they lost those loyalists on top of their nose dive.
And yes, it can work if you are consistent. Trader Joes is a good example, they are thriving and haven’t once did sales while virtually every other grocer does. Domino’s is set in their ways, though, although they’d probably survive if they blundered.
Reading the comments about Domino’s coupon obsession, I feel like giving an economics story about when JC Penney said nuts to sales and coupons and nearly went bankrupt.
Corpos in food and retail found that overpricing things then hitting you with deals and coupons caused American audiences to feel like they were getting a good deal. 15 buck pizza for only 6 dollars? Sounds like a deal until you realize that it’s really cheap to make thanks to suppliers and premade frozen pizzas. But if they always price it at 6 bucks, you’re gonna raise an eyebrow.
What if you don’t do that? JC Penney had that idea a few years ago, since their industry basically priced jeans for 100 bucks and then said they were 70% off almost every day. So they tried everyday low prices and… they nearly bankrupted themselves. Lots of factors, but their main factor was their usual clientele thought they weren’t getting a deal even though the prices were cheaper than competitors (while not really attracting a new audience savvy enough to know sales are a scam).
Point is, Domino’s is in a cycle of coupons or bust. It’s a shame you don’t have good pizza options at reasonable prices nearby, though, and a shame the good old days of free delivery seem behind us.
I can’t wrap my mind over that price, our most overpriced place are $30 a pizza and those are humongous. Did you include overpriced sides? I find $15 for 6 wings a bit much and that’d usually do it.
If the modding tools are as good as NWNs level maker then that’s even better as far as I’m concerned. I don’t exactly need a relationship with Shrek or Thomas the Tank Engine, haha
Ironic use of that term, internal colonialism, given my LA neighborhood has a flourishing Indian and Vietnamese community, culture and all.
“Transplants” in quite a different way than the meme pokes fun of, though! (And they certainly don’t complain about LA and their food is awesome).
Oh fuck, I forgot about this. I never got a chance to play those because my brother, and then my father, both monopolized the games. Ironic the same was true of Kingdom Hearts, and it sounds like both are released a week of one another on steam. (Yay, reliving a childhood I didn’t have!)
Oh my, the next Skyrim of modding is upon us.
I don’t know about you but I’m going to have to keep my daughter away from social media! It’ll rot her brain and make her a tankie! (We are taking about Lemmy, right? /s)
Indeed! The sad thing is, I got this phone because someone was giving it away because it has a “spicy pillow” battery. Samsung fucking glues their batteries into their phones, but I was able to carefully remove it and replace with a lot of work (and a new screen cause it practically shatters when touched).
It was still cheaper than a new phone, but given it’s on its second life, this phone is getting on in years. Those batteries basically just become bombs after a few years.
My phone is at 5%. Fuck yes I have a wallet, I’m not buying a new phone every year. I’m a millennial, by definition I have no money.
You know, part of me wants to do a Civ marathon and try to remember the rules in the first few games I haven’t played in decades. Alpha Centari would be on that list, though.
Omg, haven’t been this hyped since the live action Dragon Ball movie.
Quality over quantity, I guess. It could be a great place to recruit IT and Linux pros, lol.
That is also how I read it lol, fuck this guy
Oh yeah, I remember hearing about this as a local-ish. He’s bum hurt about criminal justice reform in Cali (non violent offenders getting less or no jail time, that kinda thing). Makes this job “harder” he says.
It hasn’t been smooth sailing, mind you-- but it’s at least the government trying to do something about an overcrowded prison system.
I just installed Norton Anti-Virus Suite and it’s been amazing. I haven’t been able to use my computer since!
Thanks for linking that, I didn’t have anything handy since it’s been ages.
It’s been a long time but one of my favorites was the Star Control 2 remake Ur-Quan Masters. I believe there is a free HD version out there, too. Plus if you like it, the OG creators have current projects you can support (they left that IP after 2).
Not sure what genre it is; certainly not action packed like your examples but those space battles were fun.
RDP is for pro version only, and plenty of people get home version by default. There are better options, but I want to clarify that.
