Planned obsolescence would be if they made their bricks break on purpose so you had to buy replacement bricks.

Scarcity marketing? I don't know what the exact term would be that you're referring to. But with retirement.

I think it has to do more with Lego not being able to produce thousands of thousands of different sets.

Like you don't just simply ask the Lego printer to make Margaret Hamilton Lego sets for a dozen people then tell it to go back to printing the newest set.

Lego couldn't make every set available if it wanted to

Eye-Dee-eR

Or

Eye-Dee-Uh

I.D. is Eye-D

It's missing a last syllable

Most people I know say Eye-Dee-Uh. And the Uh is exaggerated.

I.D.er works.

Bouncer: You have to show me your I.D., I'm the I.D.er

Hillbilly: You're what idea?

And why we should abolish the free market in the long run, for that matter.

Abolish free market?

You want the government to control all the means of production and the distribution of wealth, and be able to dictate the prices of goods and services and wages?

Like it sounds nice, just like communism in theory.

Could it work out? Sure. Would it? I don't think so

A picture is worth a thousand words

"Hi I am...I am looking for sex"

If you are using a dating website and actually trying. You'd look at a profile, read their bio, and then send a message that had something to do with their bio. (Could also comment on pictures)

But it is a numbers game to an extent and most messages sent will never see a reply.

So what is the least effort highest reward thing to send first? Private picture.

They are hoping that the person opens it and it catches their eye.

If their first thought is to send a private picture, they are not really looking for small talk. So it has the added bonus of weeding out non-sexual people.

It's no risk, high reward

It's not bhj because it doesn't follow what a bhj is.

It would have to be set up like:

Don't use the exploding blender, ow the blender exploded.

It's random but not "to the woods" random

Like everyone knows what happens when you drink bhj, but that's the joke they are trying to make.

No one knows what happens when a regular blender explodes. No one knows what "to the woods" means. They aren't related and just random.

A laptop with a screen on both sides would have its niche.

Shuting it would be like a tablet.

You could do something while a person across watches.

If you could rotate the screen you could swivel the screen to swap between two physical screens. I prefer two monitors over an ultra wide or trying to digitally swap between two screens. Rotating screen would have the problem of not being able to see both at once.

However, if you made the screen on the back hinge forward. You could flip the screen towards you and have a second physical monitor.

Sounds expensive and not really needed. But it wouldn't be a bad design
