In theory, yes. For me, my most efficient hours are when most people have gone home.

In 2021, Tinkov had complications after surgery and his chances of survival were estimated at only 40%

he publicly criticized the Russian invasion of Ukraine in April 2022

July 2022: his cancer went into remission

Wow, I didn't realize oligarchs could pay off their karma that easily. I wonder why more don't do it.

I don't know a word of Norwegian

Now you do. So if you see any Norwegian or Swede, remember to tell them "I know runk".

And/or a distraction. "The prices are high because they're choosing to increase it, it has nothing to do with my war"

I'm surprised you could use a wooden spatula from the start... I've never liked them, because it feels unsanitary (yes, I know there's studies that show its naturally antimicrobial etc etc)

It'd be a very difficult endeavour, for the same reasons why there aren't that many popular alternatives: YouTube has so many videos. Even just mirroring the videos from the top-100 channels would be extremely expensive. Google has a mind-blowing amount of storage space.

Haha, I did the same thing when I was in the US a couple years ago... though it was like $50 then, and of course I had to buy two so my girl could have a fair fight.

It was actually pretty fun, like paintball without as much pain or mess. I regret that I didn't dare to take it back with me on the airplane.

100% this. I tried the "Gel Blaster Surge", it shoots off 10 gels per second and it makes such clicking noise for each one it shoots out. That'd also explain why OP didn't see anything on the ground, they break into a ton of small pieces upon contact.

They can actually sting a bit, but nowhere near as an airsoft pellet does.

Imagine this: when you start your car, you're forced to watch a 30 second commercial. Your car already has eye tracking, which actually is a good safety feature, but we'll be using this to make sure you're watching the entire time.

If you stop watching, it will change to a 1 minute long commercial instead. If you still don't watch the entire time, we might just start an even longer commercial.

Or better yet: your inattention is enough reason for us to turn off your car. Lawmakers can't ban this now, because it's a secondary safety feature: you don't have enough attention to mindlessly watch a 30 second commercial, so you're obviously not alert enough to operate a motor vehicle. Think of the kids.

Damn, I need to be like Sony and get a patent on this, just to stop anyone else from doing it.

Giving an opportunity isn't entrapment. It would be if someone said "hey dude, that girl there dropped her phone, do you want it?"

But yeah I get what you mean, and that's what I meant with "there's probably more impactful stuff they could be doing instead"... Because no one who does finders-keepers on someone else's personal belongings (when they can easily see the owner) is a good person tbh.

Normal people lose their stuff all the time; it's a good thing if opportunistic thieves think again before considering hurting an actual person, instead of just being a quota-filler.

Elaborate.

Because it actually works on a large number of people, apparently. That FOMO, "I save money by buying discounted stuff, even if I don't actually need it", etc.

I had a friend that was ordering stuff from there all the time, falling for those "coupons", convinced she was so smart because of how cheap it was... I can admit there were a couple cool things she got, but the majority was just useless garbage. And regardless, the few cool things ended up breaking within a couple months at the most, so what was the point of that? Such a waste.
