I think it depends how much of their economy still depends on interaction with fiat businesses. If a lot, then it will be difficult to survive a bear market.
I wouldn't know, but it would not surprise me. Even it seems on SN people try to beg for bitcoin by telling us they are from developing countries.
It should work the same way as any other economy. Supply and demand. If merchants see that their inventories are selling out quickly and there's still more demand, that's a signal to raise the sats-denominated price of their goods. If merchant inventories are sitting on shelves and they can't sell them, it's a signal to lower prices.
Veritasium is a great channel but I often find that I don't have the time to watch their videos in full.
They're known as an old timey theme restaurant on road stops, but recently they've been rebranding and getting rid of that entire old-time theme, leaving some people to question what the value prop is if they get rid of their entire identity.
Logo redesign:
The interiors used to look like this, but I heard the new ones just look like generic modern restaurant:

More recently, they've been throwing influencer parties in NYC, where they don't even have locations, which is what leads to my suspicions that the execs may just be living it up while winding the company down: https://notthebee.com/article/while-everyone-was-complaining-about-cracker-barrels-new-logo-corporate-was-partying-it-up-in-nyc-with-tiktok-influencers
I guess satisfaction is how satisfied users are with the current available products? So, basically it suggests working on products that users are currently dissatisfied with and view as high importance?
ok, so i guess it's not just me then. I have both a Macbook and a Thinkpad, and the 2-finger scroll is sooooo much better on the macbook that when I got the Thinkpad I thought something might be wrong.

For me, the bad vibes it gave off is the stuff about AI integration. AI is just kind of a bad buzzword for me now because everyone seems to claim it. The collectible piggies also give off a sense of NFTs, which a lot of people react badly to. I actually think it's fine, but the stuff about "fungi" and "rarity" felt a bit scammy to me.
I'm on the fence about Piggy as to whether it's a scam. Even if it's not, I probably wouldn't use it, but I could see how some people might enjoy it.
How is the two-finger scrolling on the touchpad? That's the only complaint i have about my Thinkpad, but i'm not sure if i have a defective unit... mine is just really finicky
no. my preferred comfort-wear for most outdoors situations is jeans or trousers. in the home it's shorts
Each night, she gave her time and attention to the wide open space of the text box
I love this phrase... it captures so many thoughts at once, squeezed into one compact sentence. definitely an example of "economy of words"
I've been following the saga of Cracker Barrel with morbid fascination. This looks like a company suicide in slow motion.
The more cynical part of me thinks that maybe the CEO are her buddies are basically just raiding the company's assets and living it up before the company inevitably folds.
Guys, globe is warming, therefore we need to cut down on AC use!! And the hotter it gets the less we should use it!
