  • Thank you for purchasing all these donated goods that we paid nothing to buy. Your purchase makes our job programme possible.

    Do you want to round up to the nearest dollar on your purchase of donated goods, in order to donate to our job programme that you’ve already donated to?

    … um… … No?..

    Edit: jokes aside, goodwill does do good for the community. I’m sure they’ve raised their prices in line with other price hikes, but I don’t think that negates the good they still do. $35 US for a used coat they received as a free donation, IMO, is a bit excessive, but I can’t blame them for trying to squeeze more out of their stock, since they do turn around and pour most of that back into the community.












  • …Yet both Android and Apple phones use MEMS silicon for their devices, so why were only Apple phones affected? The answer, it seems, is because Apple recently defected from traditional quartz-based clocks in its phones in favor of clocks that are also made of MEMS silicon.

    So, they ask the question of why iPhones are the only ones affected if androids also went to MEMS, then answer it by saying that apple went to MEMS. Are they saying that the clocks in Androids still use quartz, but iPhones use MEMS clocks, even though they both use general MEMS silicon?

    Edit, autocorrect
