Rent-seeking *is* being a dick. I'm not saying the company isn't being a dick, I'm saying the company is being a dick in an entirely predictable and expected way given the existing body of regulation. They're not engaged in any additional productive enterprise, they're simply using the body of law to help them jack up the price on an already-existing good. They are essentially using the power of government to take money away from sick people and give it to them. If you buy my car and try to resell if for $4000 more than I sold it to you, that's not rent-seeking, that's you looking to make a profit. If you buy my 2014 model car and then try to lobby the local government to make it illegal to sell cars older than that in order to reduce the supply of cars for sale and let you jack the price up, that's rent-seeking.

Goddamnit, Phanatic, stop trying to use reason and logic. You know it gets you nowhere.

An equivalent PC for the same price of the PS4(what is it now? $350?) though is kinda hard as PC parts aren't subsidized like consoles are.

Nor are PC parts bought at a single standardized specification, directly from the component manufacturers, in multiple-conex quantities.

They're assholes about updates too. Ever since iOS9 your phone automatically downloads the update and pesters you every few hours to install it. You can't say no, you can only say later. So you have to go in and delete the downloaded file. Your phone instantly just redownloads it and resumes annoying you.

The worst part? iOS updates are the worst loving thing. Every time mine updates it just absolutely breaks the apple ID system. I don't know why but it refuses to let me log back in to my previous one, and it won't let you actually use your phone until you log in to an apple ID. So every update I have to make a new apple ID. Doesn't sound bad until their amazingly clever systems then just overwrite my old apple ID, the one it wouldn't let me log in to, with the new one which fucks with every single app I had used.

The problem here isn't the OS, the hardware, or the carrier. I've had the same Apple ID, and a contiguous backup file of my phone since I first signed up with my release-week 3G. I've never had significant issues with iOS patches, other than making room for them when I was still on lowest-storage-option hardware.

I'm with DATT on this. If the height of hilarity to you is playing cruel pranks on your pet, then you shouldn't own one. Pets trust and love unconditionally, and doing stupid poo poo to them for your own amusement betrays that trust. No wonder your pets hate you.

My dog likes to stick his face in your lap while you're putting socks and shoes on. I accidentally uppercut him in the jaw with my foot or ankle on the regular.

I'm obviously abusive, and shouldn't have a pet, right?

Ugh, the sound of the tranny exploding...

So basically, instead of calling a towing company they decided to flip it themselves, making sure that the frame was a write-off if it wasn't already as well as shattering the tires, rimes, suspension and brakes. Also while being sideways isn't the normal operating state of an engine, depending on the initial hit it could've been salvageable, but that sharp hit when the flipped it back while the engine was still running :wtc: probably murdered a bunch of components in it. Then the whole monkey business with trying to put it in park resulted in the mentioned death rattle of the transmission.

Impressive, really, if the car wasn't a write-off after the crash, it sure is now.

What is it with people and ditching their cars without securing them first?

I wonder if they ever accidentally mulch a deer or a bear or something.

Fawns (and indeed all manner of baby even-toed ungulates) have a behavior called "tucking," wherein the very young fawn will lay nearly motionless in tall grass or brush, while its mother goes off to feed. The fawn won't move, despite almost any provocation, but will remain nearly motionless, awaiting mom's return.

This is a great survival strategy against wolves, feline bobcats, etc. Not a great survival strategy against skid-steer bobcats and farm/lawn/forestry equipment. :(

At least its not literally a fever-swamp, like Miami. Or DC.
