He was not master of his domain...

Yup, experienced this at EDC 2017. Rates went from ~$120 per night before the dates were announced, to over $300.

Only way I've found to beat the price hikes is, if you know roughly when a festival will be, put in reservations for multiple weekends before the actual dates are announced. Then, after you know which reservation to keep, you cancel the other ones.

Example: EDC happens in early- to mid- May. So book reservations for every weekend in from late April to late May, then cancel the others once the dates are announced.

Get a LaserJet, then you don't have to worry about not using it often. I bought a used black and white one for $50 when I needed to print legal paperwork (~100 pages, multiple drafts, and then needing to file in triplicate meant it was muuuch cheaper to buy a printer than to go to a print shop). The toner cartridge is about $20 and lasts over a thousand pages.

It's easier to try and kill something to eat that isn't itself an optimized killing machine.

Looks a bit like Susie Myerson (Alex Borstein) from Marvelous Mrs Maisel

Google Gemini - "provide a synopsis of this video"

This video is about the difficulty of obtaining ADHD medication and the dangers of resorting to black market alternatives. The speaker, Benn Jordan, describes his experience of being diagnosed with ADHD and then struggling to get the medication he needs. He explains that there is a shortage of ADHD stimulants, and that the DEA has made it difficult for doctors to prescribe them. This has led to a black market for ADHD medication, which can be dangerous because the pills may be counterfeit or laced with other substances. The video also discusses the risks of not being treated for ADHD, such as increased car accidents, substance abuse, and suicide. The speaker concludes by calling on the government to make it easier for people to get the medication they need. Here are the key points:

• The speaker was diagnosed with ADHD and had trouble getting the medication he needed.
• There is a shortage of ADHD stimulants due to DEA regulations.
• People are resorting to the black market to get ADHD medication, which is dangerous.
• Untreated ADHD can lead to serious health problems.
• The speaker believes the government should make it easier to get ADHD medication.

I loved my V60 (and my V20 before it). They were such great phones.

As someone else said, Austin Powers really kneecapped 007 by dialing up every trope to 11, leaving seriousness as the remaining option.
