A nearby liquor store has 19.2 oz for $3, and there is usually a buy-2-get-$2-back rebate. At 9.5% alcohol that’s basically six drinks. Get smashed for $4

Yes this is absurd, but it’s a (serious) scientific community issue, not a search engine issue.

- Comment on How does delisting a game make/save money? 2 months ago:
I see “taxes” a lot but I have never seen someone explain the mechanism by which this is supposed to work.
The only thing I can come up with in my head is that they have capitalized the development costs and are currently depreciating the resulting asset. And that by cancelling/delisting the games it may allow them to immediately depreciate the rest of it, thereby recognizing a large expense for the current tax year, reducing profit, and therefore taxes.
Is that how this is supposed to work?

I looked and saw that you’ve posted about 100 times in the last month (many of which j recognized and appreciated, thank you for your service). Three of them have net down votes.
Seems like your posts are mostly well received, so I’m not sure what the issue is? 97% positive isn’t enough?

I can agree with all of that and still think it looks like the casino saying “uh, no we don’t want to pay you.” I think something is missing.
Maybe the key point is that the value displayed on the screen is, say, “derived” and not the “ground truth.” If you get cherry-coin-grape and that’s worth $2 but the display says $42 million, it better be well-established that cherry-coin-grape is the deciding output and not the display.
What if you get triple-treasure-chests and the casino says nah that’s a display bug, it was really cherry-coin-grape internally. Where’s the line here? Im sure it is legally established but of course shitty news articles aren’t going to go to that level of detail when they can quote the plaintiffs attorney instead

Are you familiar enough with the details to share them? Because this sounds strange to me - every plan has an out of pocket maximum and the highest I’ve seen is $14k. Are you including premiums? Do the costs span multiple years?

Sure, the marginal cost is basically nothing. Once you have invested billions in infrastructure.
Not saying 10 cents isn’t outrageous, just that 0.001 cents seems low
