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.
That's because it's been optimized for max engagement and controversy, not for actually solving problems.... but we can change that <3
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.
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 have solar panels so I'm virtually polluting nothing with 3 ACs running. They also get to cool the house down to 22-24° pretty quickly so they just stay in idle until there's a 1 degree variance.
That being said, ACs in the USA are too much man, I think the insulation is not enough and the ACs just run freely without ever reaching the temp limit (or they have mad limits like 16°). I mean I was the only one with long jeans at PlebLab lmao
Here there’s also the anecdote of catching a fever while using air conditioning, but it’s not AC’s fault directly. The colder you are, the more vulnerable you become to catching a fever, especially if you experience quick temperature changes. And if you don't clean the damn AC filters you're gonna get sick.
haha i was just telling plebpoet i had it for the first time this past weekend, and was pleasantly surprised how decent it was, what is going on? any post on sn about it?
I live in the "poor" south of Europe, as they say. In my country, nothing like that applies, there are air conditioners everywhere. Even in homes you can see from 2 to 3 air conditioners, it's excessive, but it's reality.
i am. it's the screen (there's a 4cm band of pixels that are super distorted). and the battery is fully dead. and some of the keys don't work. and one usb port is gone. and it really started struggling when I bumped up to ubuntu 22 (because 20,04 is no longer supported, I think).
Did you trick my AI agent into giving you authorization to use my mugshot again?
I shall have a chat with that brat.
