    Ackshually unless you accept the David Lynch movie as canon, guild navigators don’t fold space, that’s what Holtzman engines do. Navigators use their prescience to know which routes through space are safe because they’re the paths where they’re not dead in the future.

    This is the best post I’ve ever seen.

    No, seriously. I used to own a 2400 baud modem - this is peak content. It’s all downhill from here…

    Hey science people, would I be dead? Breathing in a full tank of this vaporized into my lungs overnight?

      Retailers have recognized that shoppers caught on to the concept that bulk priced items are cheaper than smaller packages. They’ve began to flip that concept on its head. I ran into this today when i found the smaller bottle of cumin to be cheaper per ounce than the large bottle. I expect that they’ve done the about the same thing here where people will expect the bottom shelf stuff to be cheaper especially with the novelty of it being packaged in a flimsy milk bottle.

        In the EU this problem is much less severe because the law requires every shop to always print the price per litre or kg underneath the price per package.

        At least I almost never look at the big “per package” prices, and stare at the smaller printed “per litre” prices instead. I wouldn’t even properly notice the price has been inflated because I’d just skip even thinking about the product with such a price per litre.

        But still, I’ve noticed that for example large packages of margarine are significantly more expensive per kg than the smaller ones – the precisely same product by the same company costs almost 30 % less per kg in the smaller package 😬

      $5.96 USD for 750ml is wild to me and I’m only a few provinces over from Alberta. It’s nearly $20 CAD for the cheapest 750ml bottle you can get here in Ontario

      edit: also being able to buy a $5 mickey of vodka from Walmart might be the most American-ass thing I’ve seen

        “only a few provinces”

        That covers about a quarter of the planet
