Idk, he seems to have as much trouble with elevators as Phyre. I figure it's something they bonded over subconsciously.

A lot of UPS people have a pretty safe bet in getting on with USPS though, as they're continually in need of more staff on all fronts.

UPS isn't that shocking as they're still shedding their pandemic years workforce build-up; Amazon simultaneously having moved to their own last mile fulfillment vs contracting reliance; and international retail shipments effectively being dead now due to idiotic tariffs.

This is similar for Heinz products and many others. As they're charging crazy amounts more for effectively the same product, if the store brand isn't just literally an off-label one they've produced, even.
Consumers are seeing how the gouging adds up and cutting the brands where possible.

To note on why Coke specifically? Because in my area, a store brand 2-liter is $0.99 and a similar size Coke product is $3.49. Over 3x the price across the board.
Bottom line: When people are hurting, they'll cut the things they see trying to hurt them before cutting the good entirely.

Yeah, that's kind of what happens when brand names try charging 2-3x what the store brand price is. Their product stops moving.
It's why even "recession proof" brands like Coke sit on the shelf now while store brand sodas are usually wiped. They got too greedy and refuse to back down.

It's just... such a really really horrible game. Like, just absolutely horrifically disappointing.
Please, I'm begging you to just play Shandalar, the game we've been asking them to make a sequel/remake for, for like 25+ years now.

No shit, because the folders and their contents aren't being scanned by their shitty AI for a user's "convenience."
The biggest problem with all these AI pushes is they're solutions in search of a problem.

That's why I just use a search engine to search for videos instead of their internal search anymore. Even when I've searched the exact video title and creator, they were something like 12th in results.

This is something I hope public figures start addressing explicitly in their wills and the execution of their estates. And that I hope their existing estates start seeking to press charges over, because that will be the only way it begins dying off.

I don't mind it when it's done well and with permission. But making things and sending them to the surviving loved ones, regardless of intent or time since their passing, is just plain cruelty.

Pushing buttons like that and turning the EU against you, will push the US, even with the current admin, to at least publicly begin retracting. There are certain dominos they should not push.

Yeeeaah... But they kind of really do. They're a very small nation, surrounded by enemy states of their own making. They're very aware they only exist because of the backing of the US. Even that's wavering considerably because of massive shifts in public opinion.

So that's the thing, they can't without making her a martyr. Doing so would also create direct hostilities with the EU.
They can definitely mess her up, as they will, because war criminals. But they can't outright murder her without causing very likely extreme international backlash.

I know, I don't even bother listing cards under $0.25 in market value. Though I did have a few odd duck printings from things like Anthologies, Deckmasters, and some odd Precon printings.
I checked and don't really have anything you don't already. I was thinking I might have had some alt 4EDs.

I wish I had known. I had quite a few of his cards before my last bulk sell off. Would've just sent them up to you.

The only down side to this decision to collect Hoovers is you can never get the cards he did for the Shandalar game as not even oversize prints were made. That and the crown jewel of them all, one of the nine Proposal cards.
