Have you looked into Unprobability chips? They are a smaller company, but the performance seems comparable, and the price is lower. You could probably knock 15-20% off the total cost on a bulk order. (By Grabthar's Hammer, what a savings) Alternately, and depending on platform, Notbloodylikely chips are really cheap these days, although the recent batch apparently has some logic gate errors for the batches made in the US.
The cost savings on the Unprobability chips are certainly something to consider, even if it means some code conversion in the Loyalty subroutines has to take place. Hm. Those are a bugger to troubleshoot. And if it doesn't work out, then I could always fall back to plan 'B'; opening a Starbucks franchise on Europa. Sure, it may be a hundred years before other people make it there, but when they do, they'll have a wide selection of their favourite hot beverages and snacks ready and waiting for them!
Three (Europa) days later...there are now 5 new Starbucks locations within 2 blocks of yours. And 2 Tim Horton's. Ruling a planet is a tough job. (which is still a career worth pursuing, mind you...you seem more cut out for it than cough certain other folks)
I would rule as The Iron Fist In The Iron Glove, but benevolent as long as my mocha cappuccino was hot and on-time.
That saying was never meant to be applied to individual items. Of course individual prices fluctuate - the grocery store has sales every week! The commodity markets and stocks fluctuate microsecond by microsecond.
Good for adults who watched the original series or good for their kids who are under 10?
I've argued with multiple people who straight up say nothing ever goes back down in price.
It's entirely possible for both you and them to be wrong on that point of argumentation.
White chocolate?!? You know that I ^require^ dark. Maybe if the world was in ruins and you could only find milk chocolate I might suffer that. But white? I'd rather chose death
I am seeing other people say that since the trailer was released. I consumed these as audio books and the narrator was male so that is how I had it in my mind.
Murderbot is part machine, part organic, but human-appearing enough to pass as human in some of the later books (after some modifications, IIRC).
I was in my 30’s when they aired and thought they were alright. I really have no basis to judge whether it’s good for a kid. No worse than the originals, I suppose.
One of my vendors used to ship one for Christmas .. I miss them..
