Why should they be forced to allow other retailers to sell Steam keys at whatever price they want

Because those other retailers already paid Steam for those keys.

If Steam doesn’t want to compete against third party key retailers then the solution is not to sell keys to third party retailers. Once Steam takes their money, they have to accept the competition.

Why is that reasonable? Storefronts don’t get free keys from Steam, they have to buy them. After they pay Steam, they should be allowed to sell them at any price they want.

Imagine if Ford said you couldn’t sell your car for less than what Ford dealers charge for used cars.

It sounds like they simply aren’t making an 8900.

Just so it’s clear, “administered remotely” means the placebo pills were sent through the mail after a Zoom conference with the provider.

Spoiler: it’s not exactly 1/137, that’s just an approximation.

The vast majority of employees are not at the top of their pay scale. If you told them their salary will never grow faster then inflation, unlike you they would look for another job.

The average growth in corporate income over the past two decades is 4%/year. That’s comparable to what the average employee expects from their long-term salary growth.

I think it’s disingenuous to keep pushing this idea that corporations cannot survive without ever increasing income.

What would happen if your employer said you would never again get a raise? Most people would probably start looking for another job. At a minimum, they expect their long-term income to keep with inflation.

But if employee salaries are expected to grow over time, then so are the company revenues that pay those salaries. A company whose revenues stop growing is like an employee whose salary stops growing. They will not last long at whatever they are doing.

The study he references also did not bother to test for sugar, only fructose.

When they later repeated their analysis, they found that Mexican Coca Cola actually does contain sugar, unlike American Coca Cola.

The paper cited in that video had serious flaws in their methodology.

A repeat analysis by the same group found that Mexican Coca Cola actually does contain table sugar (sucrose) as well as fructose, whereas American Coca Cola contains no table sugar and more fructose than the Mexican version.

The difference is that you can completely avoid lead poisoning if you eliminate exposure to lead, but you can’t completely avoid cancer even if you eliminate exposure to carcinogens.

And eliminating exposure to aspartame would have only a minimal effect, at best, on your overall risk of cancer.

Don’t forget cell phones, which are in the same risk category as aspartame.

protons don’t exist as a particle-wave

They do, but protons have a much shorter wavelength due to their greater mass.

She was on the fringe even when she was talking about physics.

Her claim to fame is espousing an interpretation of quantum mechanics that doesn’t have much support among other physicists (doesn’t necessarily make it wrong, but definitely fringe).

This is the easiest way. After installing the game, Heroic even has a command that will add it to Steam (with artwork IIRC).

My sort of interesting experience:

I tried to buy the LE on launch day, and couldn’t get through the payment page. When it was listed as sold out, I bought a regular deck without much difficulty.

Then I saw the LE was available again, and decided to try to buy it again. I was planning to cancel my original order if I could get the LE.

I tried to check out dozens of times over the next 24 hours, but on the final page I kept getting the “something went wrong” error.

About an hour ago, I decided to cancel my original order (you can do this by requesting a refund on the order page). The refund was issued 15 minutes later.

I went back and tried to order the LE again, 30 minutes after the refund was confirmed. Went through on the very first try.

So from my limited experience, I think Steam might be blocking all LE orders (and maybe even regular deck orders?) if you already have an active order.
