IsambardPrinceThe Galaxy Class was my favorite design, it could definitely hold its own in the middle of a war, but that's not what it was designed for. It was designed for exploration and science.May 18 17:52
IsambardPrinceMy dad hated the "detachable warp nacelle and battle bridge" design, but they did end up using it in Generations to survive damage that would have normally just killed the entire crew and cause a loss of the entire ship.May 18 17:53

IsambardPrinceThe doctor and the EMH from that ship were the only Starfleet officers onboard during the Romulan incident, and they had no idea what to do. One of them fired a torpedo and hit another Starfleet ship, they almost overloaded the warp core, and then they accidentally put the ship in the "assault mode" and told the computer to target the Romulans.May 18 17:57

IsambardPrinceThe SNES was a very wimpy console mostly meant for side scroller games.May 18 17:59
IsambardPrinceThe fact that it could perform "3d-like" graphics was only thanks to a very expensive cartridge which added an additional processor to it called the SuperFX.May 18 18:00
IsambardPrinceThe SuperFX was enough to give it some very rudimentary 3d support, but it still didn't have enough memory to load many objects in the games.May 18 18:01
IsambardPrinceSo they pared down Doom to the point where there was no point because so much was missing.May 18 18:01
IsambardPrinceAnd the Star Fox worlds looked repetitive and empty.May 18 18:01
MinceRby the time the SNES came out, consoles were the poor man's gaming computerMay 18 18:01
IsambardPrinceStar Fox 64 was a much better game. The N64 had the memory and processing power to handle much more on screen action, and more detailed graphics.May 18 18:02
IsambardPrinceThe Sega 32X adapter was far more powerful than the SuperFX chip that had to be in every enhanced SNES cartridge.May 18 18:03
IsambardPrinceWhat really hurt Sega with all the add-ons was the CD and the 32X couldn't talk to each other.May 18 18:04
IsambardPrinceSo the CD had a lot of storage, but a 16-bit console, and the 32X had more processing power, but limited you to the cartridge the games came on.May 18 18:04
IsambardPrinceIt was a real mess.May 18 18:04
IsambardPrinceAll it ever did was cost them money.May 18 18:04
IsambardPrinceThe 32X processors were Hitachi SuperH architecture, a very early version of what was coming up in the Saturn and then the Dreamcast.May 18 18:05

IsambardPrinceThe 32X could do Doom better than the SNES with SuperFX, but it was still a bad port.May 18 18:06
IsambardPrinceLevels missing, low sound quality, the game resolution was downscaled and most of the screen was occupied by a box, you could do the box if your PC was too slow.May 18 18:07

IsambardPrincet's not hard to get to $200 at a warehouse club. The focus isn't on total price, it's on unit price.May 18 18:20
IsambardPrinceSo for example, if you want peanut butter, you buy 96 ounces at once.May 18 18:20
schestowitz[TR2]<IsambardPrince> Their cafeteria has kept the hotdog and fountain drink to $1.50 since 1984.May 18 18:20

IsambardPrinceAt Walmart you'd buy 40 ounces. Lower prices for the jar, higher price per ounce.May 18 18:20
IsambardPrinceschestowitz[TR2]: You get both in the combo for $1.50 total.May 18 18:21
IsambardPrinceYou buy toilet paper at Walmart, the giant one is like 20 rolls for $21. But if you go to Costco or Sam's you might get 30 rolls for $25.May 18 18:22
IsambardPrinceThey sell Mach 3 heads in 20 packs at the warehouse clubs.May 18 18:23
IsambardPrinceYou can get Degree deodorant that's $3.50 a stick at Walmart, for 2.50 a stick in a pack of 5.May 18 18:24
IsambardPrinceIt costs money to get a membership at these warehouse clubs. So to be able to get something close to wholesale prices, your membership card is a sunk cost.May 18 18:24
IsambardPrinceBut then it opens up those prices on hundreds of things you buy already through the year, including their gas station that's 60 cents a gallon cheaper.May 18 18:25
IsambardPrinceThey use the membership card to maintain a thin profit margin. They couldn't operate on those prices if anyone could just walk in and shop.May 18 18:26
IsambardPrinceThe thin profit margin comes from people who use the warehouse less but keep paying for the membership. And the people who use it more see the membership as a reason to shop there more.May 18 18:26

IsambardPrinceschestowitz[TR2]: MARISOL is so dumb she didn't even use Credit Union credit cards.May 18 18:48
IsambardPrinceShe went to Discover and Crapital One.May 18 18:48

schestowitz[TR2]they used to be like 220 innn 2020May 18 18:48
IsambardPrinceCredit Union interest on cards is usually 7% to a maximum of 18%.May 18 18:48
schestowitz[TR2]price inflationMay 18 18:48
IsambardPrinceBank credit cards are a minimum of like 21%, and so their floor is higher than the credit union ceiling.May 18 18:49
IsambardPrinceAnd they often go to 29 to 40%.May 18 18:49
IsambardPrinceThe interest rate on my Crapital One cards is probably a lot lower than MARISOL's.May 18 18:49
IsambardPrinceSome of them are at 21%.May 18 18:49
IsambardPrinceWhich is as low as most bank cards go.May 18 18:50
IsambardPrinceIf you go to them and ask for a store card or have bad credit or something, they'll give you cards that exceed 30%.May 18 18:50
IsambardPrinceThe Walmart Capital One when it existed went out at 33.49%.May 18 18:51
IsambardPrinceRegardless of your credit rating.May 18 18:51
IsambardPrinceWhen they converted them to Quicksilver, they kept that rate.May 18 18:51
IsambardPrinceEven though if you apply for a Quicksilver, the highest it goes is 29.99%.May 18 18:51
IsambardPrinceMy Quicksilver is at 21.49%.May 18 18:51
IsambardPrinceThe purchase rate is high, the cash advance rate is higher.May 18 18:51
IsambardPrinceShe ran out of money in Singapore and took a cash advance by sticking her AmEx into an ATM.May 18 18:52
IsambardPrinceThis causes 34.99% interest, it starts the minute you take the cash (no grace period), and there is a 4% foreign transation fee, and a fee to use a foreign ATM.May 18 18:52
IsambardPrinceSo to get $500 out of an ATM in Singapore it probably cost her between $700 if she paid it right back (doubtful) or the sky is the limit.May 18 18:53
IsambardPrinceBut rich people don't run out of money on the other side of the planet.May 18 18:53
IsambardPrinceAnd then beg a credit card for some cash./May 18 18:53
