Sure, a lettuce sandwich costs $0.79.

I'm certainly not eating the onion like an apple lol. But, to your point, a sandwich is exactly what you just said. Pick up an onion, some bread, some lettuce, some tomato, some mayo, some mustard, salt and pepper, deli ham (or roast chicken), some cheese. Buying those ingredients would be.... What $40? And you'd be able to make 8 sandwiches. Maybe have some leftover cheese and mayo. Perhaps a chicken carcass for stock.They'd be pretty good sandwiches too, but without bacon because we wanna keep it budget. Or you could get 20 McDoubles. By caloric value, 20 McDoubles will give you more food. You'll die from malnutrition over a period of time, but not from lack of calories.

I don't think it matters. An onion costs me $2. A McDouble costs me $2. I can get a whole processed burger for the price of a condiment on a sandwich I'd make at home.

You can also use those same balls to capture people. And eat them.

Of course, hence why I said that it's not possible to convert incarceration time into money. Removing agency is to remove possibility to proceed however one sees fit. Likely he would have been financially poorer off, but life isn't a measure of worth by dollars. Only the most degenerate among us think that bigger numbers in various accounts equates to a good life.

So, I get where you're coming from here, but $25 million is still an enormous amount of money objectively. Obviously there isn't really a way to convert 44 years of incarceration into an equivalent financial denomination, but if we think about earnings that could be had in that time, $25 million by far covers it.

If this guy were to have a job paying $100k a year for his whole life, he'd be making well in excess of the average, and still only have about $6 million total earnings by the time they retire. Let's double it and assume he was making $200k a year for his entire working life, that's still only half the amount he was awarded. So this amount paid could be said to cover a lifetime of high pay, plus an equivalent amount in damages, plus a little extra on top for good measure.

Not sure, this seems to be exactly what vasalgel is. At first, I thought the innovation was that they just squirt this stuff into your sack and call it a day, and that would have been different. But nope! Same injection site too. Maybe it's more effective or something.

UPDATE user_data SET deleted = 1 WHERE ID = you.

Done. Data deleted. All gone forever. Definitely doesn't just hide it from the user.

No Man's Sky is great though, and the studio implemented a stupid number of features after launch, out of their own pocket. Internet Historian had a really good piece on them.

Very unlikely this guy is catching wild fish to tape to a machine. More likely went to a grocery store or fish monger, and bought a pre-dead fish who experienced no additional cruelty than any other pre-dead fish.

Wasteful? Maybe. Definitely not additionally cruel.
