This scalper going through a rough time just like PS5 buyers who tried to get one at a normal price in 2021-2022

From the original poster
Manager came out and told him he couldnt return them because he had already tried at other stores and they sent out a message to watch out for him .
'Cause what you see you might not get
And we can bet, so donāt you get souped yet
Youāre scheming on a thing thatās a mirage
Iām trying to tell you now, itās arbitrage!
Now he can just go and enjoy the high life:
Itās going to be crazy in Philly tonight!
It was going to be crazy regardless of the outcome.
Thatās your little joke about how the phones were smuggled in, isnāt it.
If all goes according to plan, it will be the second human illness to be eradicated after smallpox, and the first to be eradicated without a vaccine or a cure.
Fortunately those areas donāt yet suffer the plague of widespread social media, or thereād be groups bleating about freedoms to drink raw water.
Itāll need a few years of no cases to be sure the cycle is broken and that itās gone for good.
Thanks President Carter. Keep up the good work.
Alimentary, my dear @FGD135
This is good news, right? 
A fix for an annoying, mysterious problem that nibbles at the edges of our livesā¦
āA lot of companies use PET tape,ā said Metzger. āThatās why it was a quite important discovery, this realization that this tape is actually not inert.ā
The PET tape holds the battery together, but reacts with the electrolyte and forms a conducting substance. Swap it out with polypropylene and the problem goes away.

The Pebble Mine just needs to die already. The maximum gold extraction value is less than one yearās worth of value of commercial, tribal, and recreational fishing in Bristol Bay, the watershed it threatens.
This is a classic lose-lose proposition, politically. If the mine goes through, all the hippy-dippy environmentalists hate you, but thereās no āowning-the-libsā upside because the commerical fishers and recreational fishers hate you, too. Then add the resentment of Alaskan Natives to the mix.
And thereās no real upside with the owner, either; the mining company is Canadian and canāt legally make campaign contributions to US politicians.
Agreed.
I really have to applaud the work of everyone whoās put time towards stopping this mine. The sheer number of people in the fishing industry alone whoāve advocated hard against this is impressive. Itās amazing how much can be achieved when people (even across a wide range of user groups like is this instance) have a common goal.
This is the main point we all need to embraceā¦ that collective action can make positive change.
The commercial fishing - recreational fishing collaboration is a model that started with a lot of friction but has ultimately worked very well from Florida to Massachusetts Bay and from San Diego to Alaska.
Iāve been thinking about stuff like this a lot lately. This collaborative approach needs to be the main one going forward for things like this, I think. There are too many stakeholders these days to focus solely on the commercial folks. Thereās a lot of tension around here among the recreational anglers because they feel completely unimportant and ignored on all fronts.
