Prius made the market look negligible because it was such a repulsive piece of shit most people were too embarrassed to buy them.

That $1.50 hot dog is actually $1.50. You don't even need to be a member to buy it.
I'm guessing they encourage screening for genetic markers of autism.
55 in a 35 deserves a ticket, but it happens.
You absolutely should automatically go to jail with no officer discretion for 70 in a 35. That's trying to kill someone.
As is the norm, there's no mention at all of, or effort to even attempt to investigate, the demographics of the applicant pool/people who wish to pursue the field as a career.
You can't even have a cursory analysis of whether discrimination exists without it.

I almost never buy metroidvanias before they go on sale pretty heavily because there are just so many good choices, but I played the absolute hell out of that first flash bike game that you controlled balance front and back. This is that, but with a big map to explore and combat I'm really enjoying. You block bullets with your bike, reload ammo with a backflip and a bullet parry with a front flip, and aiming your gun is bullet time, but because you're aiming in the air a lot, you still have to pay attention to your rotation, so there's a nice tension to it. I'm two bosses in, and both are decent takes on the unique flavor of their mechanics. I'm hooked hard.
Steam has a demo so you don't have to buy it without knowing if it clicks for you.
It's mostly AAA games that don't bother. A lot of smaller games do, because they know it's worth it unless you're riding a crazy hype train with wild expectations.
It's because at home the efficiency doesn't matter and you can do more with x64 still. The constraints of having their memory on the CPU instead of slightly slower socketed memory are more relevant, too, because there are more uses for higher amounts on a desktop.
If you knew you could borrow it any time for free, and you do your reading digitally, would you really buy it? Would most people?
I personally have bought a handful of physical books from my favorites with no intention of opening them just to have them on my bookshelf, but there are also multiple series I listen to 2-3 times a year that I haven't purchased because they're either available through my library or because they're available through scribd (where I read more than enough new books per month to justify the subscription). Unrestricted free availability is bound to cut pretty heavily into people paying for content, especially if we're talking people who are doing their reading digitally with ebooks and audiobooks anyways.
There is nothing on the market at any price that provides both of the performance on battery and battery life the MacBook Air has, let alone higher tiers. Apple Silicon is sincerely insanely impressive.
Apple has also always been perfectly fine performance per dollar in the class they've actually been in. Their build quality isn't perfect, but it blows everything meaningfully cheaper out of the water. You can't compare an aluminum shell with trashy plastic and be surprised the plastic is cheaper. The actually well built stuff like thinkpads were never meaningfully different pricing than Apple. That's what it costs.
If your local store isn't following Costco's policies, that's not Costco's fault. Report them if you really want.
A membership is absolutely not required to use the "food court". The machine doesn't scan or use your membership at all. The rest of your complaints are equally bold faced lies that don't in any way match Costco's policy, or full on unhinged lunatic horseshit.
