American water heater repairman says he’s noticed the average new water heaters last only about 7-10 years and then they must be replaced
But when he comes across old ones like this one from 1956, they last forever
This is because of a business model called Planned Obsolescence and it’s a business strategy companies now use to engineer produces to fail after a certain among of time
This way you have to keep buying the same product over and over again
This is a scam
Yeah man, you're just like the rest of us.
I mean, who hasn't received a presidential pardon from their dad, avoided serving a day in prison in their life despite multiple Federal gun charges and irrefutable evidence of illicit drug use, got paid millions of dollars for throwing some paint on a canvas, and served on the executive board of a Ukrainian gas company?
What you are is a walking indictment of America's oligarch class, who to this very day continue to insist that they're struggling against the elite while refusing to admit that's exactly what they are.
This story gets so much worse. Apparently this all started because police were called out for a disturbance after her husband broke their tv out of anger after finding out his brother was killed by Israel in Gaza. The husband is Palestinian. When the police were taking him into custody his wife stopped them because she wanted to accompany him and that is when the officer threw her on the ground for “interference.” The couple was cooperative with the police the entire time and yet this is how they were treated.
She delivered the baby prematurely because of the physical trauma on her body but thankfully both she and the baby survived and are in good health. She easily could have miscarried.
This entire police department should be investigated and that officer should be arrested and charged with aggravated assault.
Israel tied up children and babies, KILLED them, then buried them in mass graves.
A French aid worker: “We found a mass grave in Gaza containing 300 bodies. Small children were killed with their hands tied behind their backs
EuroMedHR: Inside the mass graves, they found children & babies with their hands bound with zip ties
This photo is from 2 mass graves discovered at Nasser Hospital, southern Gaza, in April During the genocide, the EuroMedHR documented over 130 mass graves of victims of the Israeli genocide
Anthony Starr is the reason The Boys survived. He made Kripke's shitty writing feel purposeful.
His passion in every scene, with every meme worthy expression, convinced the audience there was far more substance only for the finale to leave you looking back with near nothing.
Excellent actor, hope he gets better opportunities.
🚨do you understand what happened to Subnautica 2..
a game that was genuinely loved. Very Positive reviews. record player counts. people were excited.
then they read the EULA.
- you don't OWN the game, you have a LICENSE that can be revoked anytime
- they collect your personal data and device information
- streaming and recording require disclaimers
- mods you create inside their game - they have legal claims over
- VPN use is banned
- disputes go to arbitration in California only
- they can change ANY of these terms whenever they want without asking you
people started requesting refunds not because the game is bad - but because they finally READ what they agreed to.
the game industry has been doing this for years. Subnautica 2 is just the first time enough people paid attention.
Not even Rockstar Games can secure perpetual licenses, which all but confirms this game is a plant of some variety. You just don’t get this treatment as an “indie project.”
In 1971, the Church of Scientology started “Operation Snow White” Its objective was simple: Infiltrate and hijack the CIA to attack anyone who went after them. This lasted for years until their spies were caught by Mormon agents who had been working in the CIA since the 1950’s.
First console to also support crossplay as well. Notably with Quake III Arena with PC and Capcom vs SNK 2 with the PS2 back in 2000 and 2001 respectively
It's actually insane how ahead of its time the Dreamcast was
Am I crazy, or is Hollywood afraid to make movies about young men?
Whenever there's a franchise sequel, it's always about a character's daughter, or their female protege, or something like that.
It's becoming really weird.
