Sold at Dollarama too, for the same price that other stores tend to have on special only.

Miss Vickie's is now owned by PepsiCo, sadly

Well if you're running an aluminum foundry, you really should have planned for this.

Edit: Oh, I’d probably make sure to get a second opinion first.

You're ugly, too

What signs?

If you survive that, at least you only have 31 days left to live.

It's hard to convince people that they've been had by a bunch of morons.

For Metroid, start with 2, then Super is a big step up in terms of feel and gameplay. The first one doesn't explain anything at all, and compared to modern standards feels quite clunky and tedious (you have to find multiple secret passages to finish the game normally, for example.) It's worth playing if you're in the mood for NES-era retro gaming, but it can be frustrating trying to figure it out on your own.

For lore, Fusion is next, followed by Dread. I didn't like Fusion, felt too hand-holdy for me, I would skip it but many seem to like it. Dread is worth playing on its own though. It's a much faster pace, more action-oriented gameplay. Fusion added a horror element to the game, but for the most part it's more for vibe than gameplay reasons. Dread took that scary vibe and moved it into the gameplay.

The Prime series I think is a separate canon story. They can definitely be played independently. They follow a storyline and are direct sequels to each other, but gameplay-wise they don't require playing other games before. You don't unlock any important knowledge relevant to one game from playing the previous one.

Covid had be bedridden for about 3 days and feeling too sick to eat, and living on my own I had nobody to help me.

15% has been the standard for many decades, and even that is supposed to be optional.

Federal what now?

Technically, yes. But I strongly recommend never pointing a gun at a law enforcement officer unless there are significantly more of you than there are of them.

I think their take is pretty pragmatic. It makes sense since the AP is an American news outlet.

Turn the question back at yourself, please.

I asked a simple, polite question for clarification. I'm not arguing about anything.

Also, you assume they’ve actually increased the number to keep the mass valid

I would assume so, and with good reason. The laws for that stuff are strictly enforced. There's a margin of error, but we're talking a few grams. Enough that one fewer tortillas in the package would put it over that limit and litigation would ensue.

Once they run out of old packaging

Packaging is cheap af. They're not trying to run out their old packaging. I'm not saying that it's not a lead-up to shrinkflation, just that they don't care about old, leftover packaging. More likely, IME working in packaging, would be that they're waiting for someone working on the machines to dial in the settings before switching to a different roll of film.

Anyway, I wasn't trying to argue anything in the first place, just trying to get a grasp of OP's point since they didn't really explain what the issue was.

I'm not understanding what the issue is. Is it because they're smaller than they used to be?

That kind of packaging is made pre-printed, and the product is sold by weight, so if they made them smaller, they added more to the package to make up for it.

They can tell from the bones where the muscles attached, and what movements they made. They could piece together an animal's walking gait just from that.

Looking only at a dead person's bones, one could deduce what sports they practiced, for example.

The question was what happens when you run over a stick of butter, not how squishable is a stick of butter

There are infinite numbers between 0 and 1, but none of them is 2.
