I know! They think the way you make money in business is by selling a better or cheaper product. Not so at all. The way you make money in business is by eliminating the competition so people have no choice but to pay whatever you demand for your product ;)

They should substantially increase their dividend.

What a tragedy for the 115 year old person who stuck their life savings in cash under a mattress in 1913 and really needs that money today :rolleyes: For everyone else who actually invests their savings instead of shoving it in a mattress, the historical average 3.2% annual inflation of the...

If I were a potential investor, this disclosure would give me reason to stay far away from Overstock. Why? Because this horde costs the company a lot to maintain and there is absolutely nothing in it for the investor. If things get so bad that the company has to pay its employees in gold...

I'm a lawyer. Robots already do some tasks that lawyers used to do. For example, junior lawyers used to spend untold hours sorting through boxes of paper looking for documents relevant to a case. Now, AI already takes a first pass and pulls the relevant documents, and flags potential issues...

I've played every game in the BF series since OG 1942, and I think I am done with the series after the BF4 debacle. The game has been out for over a year, and they are still futzing with the netcode. I still get memory leak and crash issues from time to time. The game is currently in a state...

Those numbers are almost certainly inaccurate and leave off a lot of jobs. I guarantee they pay their in-house lawyers more than $150k.

Fluids? There is no oil, no coolant. Brake fluid is about it and any competent shop can do it. Wiper fluid doesn't count. Shocks/suspension/CV Joints? Again, any shop is capable of this. These are mostly wear items and unlikely to go out under warranty.

It will be DOA without a massive price cut.
