So many people in this comment section are pissed that YouTube isn't both free and ad-free. It's mind blowing.

Yes, YouTube is a business and exists to generate revenue.

How about father of the touch screen? There's a fuck ton of technology in smartphones.

Oh fuck off with this. Don't victimize cable companies. They charged an insane amount and offered no innovation. $100+ a month for live TV that had more commercials than actual content is still a shit deal.

Streaming was great until everyone decided they wanted a piece of it. Fragmentation of the market drove enshitification.

So she didn't bring live rounds on set and put those live rounds in a prop gun intended for actors in a movie?

And it's accurate.

It's completely accurate. Thos is crazy, I know, but you can have a shit ton of things but only 3 of one specific thing.

Sometimes sellers get more inventory in when stock is low. Sometimes they don't. Amazon is just letting you know how many units they have on hand. Actually, they even let you buy units that are still on their way to the Amazon warehouse.

My security deposit was returned to me with interest added.

I was told not to paint anything because they do that whenever someone leaves as standard practice.

Sometimes apartments aren't bad.

A friend of mine got fucked by a local pizza place after the waitress changed a tip by adding a comma and a few zeros.

Pizza place refused to refund, credit card company wouldn't cancel the transaction because it was too large. We had to start a social media campaign to shame the place into refunding him. They turned a $15 tip into a $1,500 tip.

So I definitely appreciate stuff like this

Novo Nordisk's CEO was paid $9.8 million last year, inclusive of bonus and benefits.

[–] Marcbmann 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Likely not, no. Novo Nordisk spent $5 Billion on R&D in a year as a company. I can't find consistent numbers on advertising costs, but that looks to be somewhere around $100-200 million over the last 12 months, for this product specifically. The total annual compensation of the entire executive team at Novo Nordisk is about $46 million USD.

My brother in Christ, why is sucrose bad for your liver? Because it is metabolized into glucose and... Fructose

The metabolism of sucrose into glucose and fructose happens in the small intestines. Fructose enters the bloodstream and is metabolized by the liver.

What kind of sugar? High fructose corn syrup or sugar?

HFCS is metabolized in the liver making it far more damaging to the body. And soda that uses real sugar typically has a lower sugar content. Soda with real sugar also imparts a feeling of fullness, typically resulting in people drinking less.
