That's ridiculous. I can get recliner seats with tons of arm room and reserved seating for $15 CDN. $12 for a matinee showing.

A lot of the 2010's tech was fueled by venture capitalists looking for the next big thing. They saw things that were extremely popular, like Facebook, Reddit, YouTube, etc, and figured "well we've got a ton of users, surely we can find a way to make money off of this."

Some investors are starting to realize they aren't actually making much money or costs are blowing up without revenue following. People are starting to back out of this bubble without clear goals towards profitability.

That's the same argument for (some) Imperial measurements, but people converted to metric anyways.

I think it's because there are important, naturally occuring units of time that simply don't divide well - that is, the day and the year. Having it standardized to metric would still leave us with 1:365.24 conversion. Using metric time would require us to stop being metric beyond the day, or just have a cumbersome conversion number to talk about years.

On the other hand, things like weight, length, and temperature are completely arbitrary and there's no natural standard unit, so changing those to another completely arbitrary unit is easy.

Maybe they should feed back the results that keep the scammers connected the longest, so it can learn from its own examples to waste the maximum amount of time

I find stevia based sodas taste better anyway

 

But not through the login page. It still doesn't work. Just spinning circle forever.

However, if you click the "forgot password" link and reset your password, you'll be automatically logged in after resetting.

I accidentally logged out after that and got the infinite spinny circle again, so I had to reset my password a second time.

Still... this is kinda annoying. Any fix coming soon?
