Campbell soups are condensed so the company isn’t paying for shipping or shelving water.

If they’d bury the power lines and/or install neighborhood batteries, this wouldn’t be an issue. But that costs money.

They really couldn’t find a word better than “stout”?

You’d think they would at least have checked to see if he had voted before publishing it. What laziness.

No one really knows other than Netflix execs. A lot has to do with the cost of the show per viewer. It’s why HBO/Discovery is filling up with reality programming (cheap to produce). You can have a great show and it can end up in the top ten, but if it costs too much to make then the network has to figure out if production costs can be cut. Or if costs can be offset by product placement.

Streamers shifting to ad-based plans also changes things. You can now have a premium program that’s a “loss leader” if it brings in enough subscriptions that also watch the cheap programming and existing back catalog. The additional eyeballs on ads means more cash intake for the network which balances out the more expensive shows.

I’d go for the ColecoVision. The controller on the intellevision is strange, as are the graphics. Maybe that’s your thing, but as a kid I always wanted the coleco. Especially if you can find the racing controller for Turbo.

If I were to get an Intellivision, I’d spring for the Intellevision II model. Much cooler looking design and takes up less space. The only problem is if you get the speech module, finding one to match the later design language is harder.

You’d think the server-side spam filters would be set up to catch that. Why mix two alphabets in a URL other than to do something slimy?
