Best possible, yes; but you're defining it wrong. The best possible product is always the thing that makes the thing that makes the most profit. The ideal is to generate massive profit for zero cost. And if the company has the sense to corner the market and create an irreplaceable product, the will of the consumer ceases to matter.

See, that's why the current admin wants to abolish the FDA. The food manufacturers consider that accurate labeling law onerous, and want it gone. Caveat emptor, etc.

Yes, that is how the free market works. If people don't notice or are entirely focused on price, then they'll accept the lower-quality product. There will be a place in the market for luxury goods, but cheap alternatives need to exist as well for the price-conscious.

Permits? We don't need no stinkin' permits. Give the goods or we make sure you get copyleft.

Caine's statblock was perfect. And frankly, there should be more characters (especially named NPCs) who have that block.

And it's made by the always awesome Foone Turing.

People do forget what was in the "diet pills" that housewives used to chomp down.

Part of why Conker doesn't feel like a good game to me is that the story feels totally disjointed. The emphasis on shock value overrode everything of value.

I'm glad to see pushback on DKC, like I was about DK64. DKC2 is the only one I really enjoyed, the rest aren't great. Being honest, I think Rare has been overhyped for years.

Just run a grounded Faraday cage around your cab?

There's one thing you need to think about - isolationism is still popular in the USA.

The more you demand of an office to avoid RTO, the lower their salary offer will be when they decide you can either take a significant percentage pay cut or a 100% pay cut.

Well, there's a known install bug, and every time I try to install it on my machine, said bug hits.

We don't have allies. We have clients, rivals, and victims.

So stop using a browser that uses Google WebExtensions altogether. Gotcha. So other than Links, Pale Moon, Basilisk, and SeaMonkey, any suggestions?

Which is funny considering what that phrase means.

When it can actually install the software I need, I'll consider it. As is, they still haven't figured out how to install Battle Net.
