Costume stores in new orleans

Ok guys, I need help. My mower sat this winter and won’t start. I checked my carburetor, my fuel pump, my lines, my fuel filter but after several tries it where it would turn over and sputter but not quite start. After a while it would no longer turn over. I took the battery in to Autozone and it was at like 30% and three years old so I bought a new one. Brought it home, mower tries to turn over twice and then nothing. Took it back to the store, they checked it, declared it dead and gave me a new one free of charge. Put it in and after two or three solid turns and almost starting again, the mower will no longer turn over but the solenoid clicks.
What can I check next?? Surely it’s not another bad battery.

A newly discovered patent by Take-Two Interactive hints that Grand Theft Auto VI will have smarter non-playable characters (NPCs), which has our minds swirling with possibilities. Rather than following programmed directives, NPCs that leverage advanced artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities could potentially feel like more life-like, in the decisions they make in the game.
We might be getting ahead of ourselves a bit—we have no idea what exactly Take-Two and its Rockstar Games subsidiary have planned for the next GTA installment, and to be clear, GTA VI has not been announced—but we would certainly welcome smarter NPCs. Not just for the GTA series, but for gaming in general.
The patent (listed as 16/393365) was filed in October of last year, by inventors David Hynd and Simon Parr. According to their LinkedIn profiles, both work for Rockstar Games—Hynd is the associate director of technology and technical director of AI and gameplay, while Parr is the lead AI and gameplay programmer. So even though Take-Two Interactive owns the patent, it seems the technology is destined for a Rocktar Games title.
"Computer games often provide 3D worlds in which the game unfolds. Such games often include non-player characters (NPCs) that exist in the game's 3D world and who interact with the human players, the 3D environment and other NPCs. These NPCs can be programmed in an artificial intelligence manor such that their actions in the game are driven, at least in part, by real-time decisions made by the NPC algorithm regarding the current state of the game and the environment," the patent explains.
It goes on to state that this type of interaction is driven by a collection of nodes and edges (vehicles and links), and that "conventional systems only provide limited resources" for developers. As it applies to the GTA franchises, this is likely why NPCs all seem to drive and navigate the world in the same manner, with only visual cues distinguishing them from one another.
"Since currently-available multiplayer gaming systems are deficient because they cannot provide realistic movements for non-player objects in a virtual world without increasing computational resources and/or restricting game development/design, a system for managing nodes and node graphs relating to non-player characters that provides virtual navigation and management can prove desirable and provide a basis for a wide range of network applications, such as creating a realistic virtual world that is not limited by hardware and software limitations," the patent states.
Part of the patent involves tapping into the cloud to overcome local hardware capabilities, for advanced AI processing. And from our reading, it sounds like the patent would result in NPCs have more individualized personalities, at least with regards to traveling about.
We'll have to wait and see what develops, and hopefully Rockstar Games sees fit to announce a new GTA game soon.

Hey you. Hope you are doing ok. I know I am nothign special, but maybe you feel like you aren't either.
​
I am seeking a bestie. Not just a bestie. A mega bestie. Teach me a new video game. Or voice/video with me. Or just be each others cheerleaders through life.
​
I know I am cheesy. I am basically a dairy farm. But maybe someone wants that in a bestie. Oh well, I made the effort. Send a chat if you want. No requirements, I will accept anyone into my life.
​
Hope you have a lovely night, either way. Thanks for reading. :)

I miss driving myself to the store and finding things myself. I’m so grateful for delivery, but I’m getting tired of not getting certain items just because the shopper assigned to my order is too lazy to look for things better. No, a bath towel won’t work as a replacement for 18 washcloths. (I’m not cutting up a towel. Lol) And yes, there are tons of washcloth options in stock.

Writer's note: Hey. Veliry's getting in on the big change train too. Hell yeah.
Enjoy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Alright. This is Eastport." Tanier said as the ship pulled up to the tower at the end of the wall around the small port city, far to the south of Jadesport.
The three guards, wearing rather slobby Petravian guard uniforms, were clearly unsure of what to do at the sight of a flying ship. They were even more unsure of what to do at the sight of Amina in her armored General's uniform. She'd only put it on because she knew that the unexpected arrival would upset the local garrison. Especially with the ship flying Vatrian heraldry.
One of the guards remembered what they were supposed to do, and stood ramrod straight while saluting. The other two looked at him and then matched suite.
"Relax." Amina said as she returned the salute. "Have you already sent a runner?"
"Ye-Yes General." The one that saluted first replied.
As if on cue an overweight, scruffily bearded, guard captain came rushing up the stairs on the wall and approached them. He was still fastening his leather chest armor in place, and had his tabbard in hand to place over it.
Amina watched the man approach with a raised eyebrow. James stood a few steps behind her, still on the gangplank and winced. He'd seen disgraced NCO's that had responded to unexpected visits from command in similar fashion back on Earth.
"General!" He said with a hasty salute that Amina returned quickly.
"You're the commander of the port garrison?" She asked.
"Aye ma'am." He replied as he finished struggling with the last strap on his chest.
"Well." She said, choosing to ignore the sloppiness, though James knew she was going to fume over it later. "You can relax Captain......." She tilted her head and waved her hand, gesturing for him to tell her his name.
"Garibald ma'am." He said after a moment of confusion.
"Captain Garibald." She said with fake satisfaction. "Relax Captain Garibald. I only donned my uniform so you would know who I am. I'm currently on my post wedding trip. I'm sure news has reached here by now. I'm off duty."
The four guards visibly relaxed and James cringed a bit. That was one of the oldest officer tricks in the book.
Amina continued. "Let the people of the town know that nothing worth worrying about is occurring." She said. "My sister and her husband the ambassador are simply dropping us off. They'll be returning to the Vatrian Empire as soon as they have a chance to resupply."
"That's good to know ma'am." Garibald said. "We were worried that maybe we were under attack. Don't know how we would've fought a damn flying ship."
Amina's smile faker than a three dollar bill back on Earth.
"Well." She said icily. "You should have a wing of griffins." Garibald was about to reply, but she cut him off. "Go calm down the townsfolk Captain." She said with a note of finality that even the incompetent captain could pick up on.
"Aye ma'am." He replied with another salute before quickly running back down the stairs. He tried to put the last piece of his uniform on and almost fell down the stairs as a result.
She turned back to the other three soldiers, all of whom were clearly uncomfortable.
"Heads up men." She said as she let out a deep sigh. "Keep your uniforms straight and you might just be in for a promotion soon enough. Now, if you don't mind, is there a better place for us to tie this thing off?" She jerked her thumb over her shoulder at the flying ship.
The one who had saluted first pointed at a large landing pad across the docks that was clearly made for dragons and other flying creatures.
"The Drakrid landing pad has some tie downs and they have some resting stands for some of their larger beasts." He said somewhat uncertainly.
"Oh yeah." James said. "Some of them dragons and Wyrms struggle to land on the ground if they're big enough or too old. I should be able to get them to roll a set out." He nodded at Amina as she looked back at him. "Give me a few minutes."
To the surprise and awe of the three remaining soldiers, James simply stepped off the gangplank and into the air.
A loud whooshing noise emanated from him only a split second later as his jets kicked in and carried him over to the dock in question.
Amina calmly pointed at the soldier that had been first to salute, and answer the questions.
"Thank you......" She said, once again signalling for a name.
"Mien, Ma'am." He replied.
"Mien." She said. "You're in the lead."
Then she turned back and walked up the plank.
------------------
"Oh god." Five said as she slowly walked down the stairs, holding Brin's hand for support. "It is so weird to feel scared of a person."
"Oh. Well. That's life now dear." Brin said with a pat of the former muck marcher's hand. "Downside of being part prey animal. Careful of the steps. We might be good at falling, but it's still unpleasant."
"Sorry about the scare." Vickers said. "Didn't think of how the new instincts would react to seeing me."
"All good chief." She said. "I'm still not over the whole 'having all four limbs again' thing." She flexed her two, somewhat short, arms for emphasis. "Oh, and the not being dead part. All the other stuff is just details."
Driscoll stood up at the sight of his teammate coming down the stairs. He did it a bit too suddenly, having only woken up a few hours before her and still not being adjusted yet, and he almost teetered over. He was going to have to relearn balance now that he didn't have a couple dozen strategically placed stabilizers doing it for him anymore. De'Lius caught him with a single massive hand and gave him a moment to steady himself.
"Boss?" She said as she saw him in the plain white robes that they were both wearing, each set tailored to MOSTLY match their forms.
"Yeah." He replied with a smile. She cringed back at the sight of it and he realized that the squirrel part of her brain was reacting to his new appearance. "Sorry." He said as he quickly covered his mouth with his hands. "Bout time you made it."
She shook her head, and lightly smacked her temple with one of her hands.
"No need to apologize." She said as she took in the room full of predator were-folk in front of her with large, concerned, squirrel eyes. "Gonna have to get used to that."
When she finally reached the bottom of the steps, her legs wobbling a bit from the strain, the two of them embraced in a quick hug. She barely reached his chest, only having gained an inch or two compared to her prior armored form, whereas he was closer to seven feet tall now. Then, thanks to old reflexes, he tapped his knuckles on her forehead. She reached to do the same, but came up short. It was a greeting unique to their, now former, kind.
"I am glad to see that you both survived the conversion." Commander De'Lius said with a slight nod. "And more importantly, that you did so with your sanity intact."
"Admittedly." Five replied. "The last part was a close call. That... sucked."
The commander nodded again. Then he turned to Vickers. "Well. With that all confirmed my obligation here is at an end Mister Vickers. The rest is up to you, Mrs. Brin, and Priest Denaria. I will take my leave." He made to walk out the door, then paused. "And if you see my daughter. Tell her to pay a visit every now and then."
"Will do." Vickers said. Then the two men nodded at each other, and the massive wolf stepped out into the night beyond. Vickers turned back. "Alright guys. It's...." he looked at his tablet for a moment. "roughly eleven pm. Let's let our guests head home for the night while we bunk down. First night is in the same room you changed in."
"Why?" Driscoll asked.
"Silver lining is still in place." Vickers replied. "Your body is still finishing up with the final touches on your transformation. Plus some of your new instincts might cause you to have adverse reactions to your um... Well let's just call it what it is: PTSD."
Denaria cocked an eyebrow at that. Brin didn't even seem to be paying much attention.
"What is that?" The unsettling were-fox asked curiously.
"A term from our world. A problem warriors tend to have if they've been in enough battles." Five replied promptly. "And I hadn't thought of how being part scaredy-squirrel might affect that."
"Ah." The priest said simply. "Well. It is late. I should check in with my temple before I retire. Lady Brin, do you require an escort home?" He asked with an offered arm.
"Oh no." She said with a smile. "I live the opposite way from the new temple of warmth. And only about half a mile. I'll be there in only a few moments."
"Then, like the commander, I shall take my leave as well." The tall fox said. He was out the door before any of them could even say anything.
"Anyone else profoundly creeped out by that man?" Brin asked a few moments later with mock cheeriness. "Or is that just me?"
"I think that's everyone." Five replied easily. "Though it could just be the squirrel in us."
"It's not." Vickers and Driscoll replied in accidental unison. They looked at each other curiously for a moment.
"Well alright then." Brin said with a smile. She hugged Five. "Welcome to the folk." She said happily. Then hugged Driscoll and Vickers as well. Then as she neared the door she pulled a small knife out of one of the pockets of her overalls. "I'm going to try not to fall prey to whatever HE might be up to out there." She said, still cheery as ever. "I'll see you lot in the morning."
Then she was out the door too.
"Are all of the.... were-folk... weird?" Driscoll asked as he slumped down onto an end table. "God having legs is tiring."
"I'm a were-jaguar AND... a SEAL." Vickers said. "Who punches people with ice fists. I don't think I'm a good measure of normal, per se."
"He's got a point." Five said. "Say, is there any food? Mrs. Brin gave me some. But I am starving."
"Same." Driscoll admitted.
"Welcome to ridiculous metabolisms." Vickers said as he moved toward the closet with the bottomless bags full of food for each of them.
And welcome to babysitting. He thought to himself. Again.
------------------------
Focus. Veliry thought as she stared at the target dummy across her room. You've used this spell since you were ten. You can do this.
She felt the energy move through her body. No matter what she did. No matter what she pulled it from. Whether the warmth of the air, the motion of the wind outside, the movement of all the living bodies in the castle, or even the light of the sun outside her windows, it always did the same new thing.
The healers explanation of it made sense. But it still threw off her ability to control the flow of the energy within herself. She was effectively being forced to remap the flow of magic as it moved through her. And as her unborn child drew some of it into itself.
Luckily there HADN'T been any changes to that flow. Not even when she drew in more.
It just made focusing on her casts almost impossible. Made the use of the energy that managed to get past the child difficult. Difficult to route. Difficult to obtain enough to be useful. She only hoped it would go back to normal once she finally managed to give birth.
Come on little one. She thought pleadingly. Let me have enough to use.
She drew in more, pulling from several of the power sources she'd gathered in her lab. The large shard of elemental obsidian she'd poured energy into for weeks at a time, pouring a trickle into it each time she walked past it. So often that she'd practically done it without thinking before the shard had lit up red, marking it as being almost at capacity. The heart of a great sea serpent that had been slain by an enchanted harpoon and still beat within the jar it was stored in. She used it for any enchantment that needed a cooling effect, as she had never been good at ice magic. She pulled from one of the massive "Car Batteries" that she'd managed to salvage from a MIFFY that had been destroyed in the desert. That energy had always made her senses tingle whenever she drew it in, and it did now.
She felt all of that energy draw in, route down to her abdomen even if it was already in the pointing hand to begin with, then back to the hand.
COME ON!
A small, green spark emitted from the pointed finger.
DO IT!
Another spark, this one leaping in an arc to her cocked thumb.
"COME ON YOU BITCH!" She said to herself. "SHOOT A FUCKING BOLT!"
She focused everything on that finger, and felt the energy surge through her like a wave.
A wave that started in her midsection.
There was a noise so loud and so all encompassing that it was hard to tell what it was.
A torrent of lightning bolts, bluish-green like they had always been, but remarkably bright compared to their former inky darkness, sprayed from her pointing finger tip. They spread out in a massive cone so dense that it was almost a solid object.
And... they pushed her back.
Even the largest firearm she'd made, which James had quickly told her to tone down and refine with several upgrade suggestions, hadn't kicked like this spell did. She braced her arm with the other, non-casting, hand and felt herself being pushed across the lab until she slammed into one of her desks. Then the recoil continued pushing, forcing her to bend over backwards as she struggled to control where she was pointing.
"What the fu-" She tried to ask.
Then it stopped. It was as if someone had simply... shut it off. One second she had been struggling to even stay standing and aiming at the dummy from the force of the mass of death bolt energy she'd been shooting forward in a solid beam. Then her hand was simply pointing, with nothing coming out of it.
And the energy in her body was back to a normal, passive level.
She'd been trying to get it to that level. But something inside her had been feeding it in a seemingly nonstop upward charge. Then the upward charge had just... cut off.
She was standing, still bent backwards over the desk, wondering what had just happened, and trying to read the magical energy still lingering in the air from the spell.
Then she noticed how green the light in the room seemed.
She looked down from the ceiling to where the dummy was.
And she saw a veritable rain forest of plant life, illuminated by the small window nearby.
"What?" She asked nobody, since nobody was there.
The dummy, the wall behind the dummy, a little bit of the ceiling, and one hanging lantern that was nearby, were all coated in plant life. Lichens, vines, flowers, branches, and weeds of all kind and color were growing from them as if they had always been there. Even the glass of the window had some grass growing sideways out of it.
She looked down at her finger curiously, then tried to look up at her new antlers. Naturally they remained out of view, so she reached up and touched them.
And found that they were warm to the touch. In fact, they were almost hot.
"Oooooh." She said as she realized one of the problems with her magical abilities. "That's a bit of a problem."
Then she looked down at her belly and placed a hand on it.
"And don't think I didn't notice your part in that." She said. "We're gonna have to talk about that." She tilted her head a bit. "Whenever... you are capable of talking."
Then she began running out of her lab and towards Marcos's tower.

okay so its probably fixable here is what is happening
i just tried tossing in a shader into the mod pack im playing
the screen is whiteit only happens when i look away from the sky
and it changes from night facing directly up
and transitions to day and then screen blinding white as i move further down very quickly
So my guess is that some setting is screwed that is making the lighting generation extremally sensitive im brand new to this and as such have no idea what to actually tweak.
Im running create above and beyond which is a 1.16.5 mod pack and spectrum shaders optifine is the correct version as well

I have a 2017 GTI S. For years I've taken my VWs to an independent VW specialist that was walking distance from my office. My company moved to a new town a few months ago, so I took the car to a local garage that looked good. there were a couple 1980s BMWs out front, and they've been there since the 50s. Got a good vibe from the two older guys inside. Foolishly I didn't ask how much it costs, thinking it couldn't be that much more or less than where I've always gone. Dropped the car off this morning, and nearly passed out when I picked it up and got the $150 bill. For an oil change.
The breakdown is:
Labor: $49
6 Qt 5W40 "Euro Syn" oil $72
Oil filter cartridge $18
Washer fluid: $4 (this really annoyed me - I didn't ask for it and I have a gallon in the trunk)
taxes and an EPA fee were about $8
​
At my old place, the last oil change I did was a grand total of $83 with tax. They charged $7/qt and only $25 labor. Because it's only 15 minutes work. Does this price seem completely insane or was I just lucky before? Also, they said the oil is expensive because the car requires "Euro Synthetic" -- i have never heard of that before, but from a quick google search it's barely more than whatever non-Euro synthetic oil is. Obviously I'm not going back there, but I'm curious what everyone else pays for a basic oil/filter change these days?
This was in Newton, MA (USA) by the way.
Huge props to Mecca Motors in Allston, MA. I miss you guys and I'm sorry I cheated on you. I may have to figure out a way to go back in the future. There's just no straightforward way to get to my new office from there.

My birthday is next Tuesday, April 4.
I'm coming off a rough six months in life where I've had a mental health crisis, laid off from my long time job (thanks, interest rates/inflation), having to find a new job when I don't even know what I want to do for work, and now divorcing.
I'd love some cheerful birthday cards, or even some encouragement / pick me up cards.
Stuff I like: - celestial: sun, rainbows, sunrise/sunset, moon - space 🌌🚀 - flowers - bright colors (I have multi colored hair and usually wear fun colors too) - TV shows like Gilmore Girls, Friends, HIMYM, Chuck, Cougar Town, Blues Clues (ha, I like the chill nature of it), Young Sheldon - Mario and Sonic video games - watercolor or crayon art - Strange Planet - Snoopy - Jeeps - legos - lighthouse - travel - Disney - coffee - craft beer
Thank you! PM for address

I am a researcher that is looking into a toxic exposure event of a veteran population. I have many reports of these veterans getting cancer at young ages and also having their benefits claims denied by the VA and the VA also ignoring scientific evidence that showed health risks.
A limited health study was done in 2009 but its study design and timing relative to typical cancer latency periods resulted in the study possibly excluding 88-97% of the identified exposure population.
Short of initiating a new epidemiological study that corrects these issues, I would like to evaluate the VAs claim data for this population. I submitted a FOIA request for a fee waiver appeal but it was denied. In the denial, it stated that "claims files of veterans are protected from disclosure to the public without the consent of the subject(s) of the record." Although they don't reference which law this is.
Now, I know FOIA has certain exemptions such as #6 which protects personnel from “a clearly unwarranted invasion of privacy." However, my FOIA request did not ask for any personally identifying information such as names, birthdates, etc. My thoughts are if I am just requesting claims data without identifying information, it should not constitute an unwarranted invasion of privacy.
For those that know FOIA and the other relevant laws, can I request claims/medical data if there is no identifying information attached to the data?
As far as I can tell the VBA (Veterans Benefits) is not subject to HIPAA and I am not too sure how the Privacy Act relates here but I think I read that if a Privacy Act exemption but not a FOIA exemption applies, the documents must be released under FOIA.
Thanks ahead of time for your insights!

Imagine the perfect lifestyle, you wake up at 10:00PM, you put your headphones and go for a run, when you get out from your condo and the year is 2030 is a whole new world out there, new laws, new things, new start, the US goverment rules over the entire globe and has an army of over 200 million soldiers with absolutely no competition, but you don’t care, you keep jogging, while you are jogging you pass the juggernaut prison, a new style of prison cause earth was so overpopulated they made the cells smaller and smaller untill it was the size of a dog cage, there are jailed the worst prisoners, you finish your jog then go meet your girlfriend, your girlfriend wants a baby really bad, but you know she has to apply for a permit to have a baby, and 99% of permits are voided, why cause there has been a mass awakening, people realized is not fair to bring childrens to a sad, hungry, dying, world, plus is the law and the last time humanity tried to do whatever they wanted, they were nuked by their own goverment, which was a good thing cause in 2025 all the food was gone, people were having childrens only to kill them and eat them which was horrible for those poor babies, they were born without a choice only to be killed without a choice, so the goverment stepped in to help by sterilization, now there are only 1 million humans plus 200 million soldiers living on earth, there is no hunger, war, sickness, etc all of those overpopulation symptoms are gone, life is better and is estimated by 2100, the last human living on earth will die with no heir, which is a good thing cause humanity is a virus, in the beginning there was god and god said let there be light and god said multipy but man said no the end

I recently bought an old Mini-DV camera at the Redmond Goodwill and finally got a new battery for it yesterday. To my surprise, there was a tape already inside, so I decided out of curiosity to check for existing footage. The tape was completely filled with footage from a family’s Christmas mornings! I assume they gave away the camera without knowing there was a tape still inside, or perhaps they couldn’t remove the tape because the camera has to be turned on to eject it and—as previously alluded to—the battery was out of juice.
I’m hoping that, with enough of us working together, we can reunite this lost tape with its owners. To maintain the family’s privacy, I’ll only provide a few details. I haven’t seen much of the tape myself—again, wanna maintain privacy—but I think I have enough for someone familiar with the footage to go off of. Key details are bolded:

• The tape is completely full, with footage lasting about 62 minutes total.
• Footage can be split into two halves: Christmas 2006 and Christmas 2007. There might be multiple clips therein, but I know for sure this footage takes place on those two days.
• At one point during the Christmas 2006 footage, a dog with black or dark brown fur passes in-frame. I managed to catch this little detail while rewinding the tape.
• From what I could tell while rewinding the tape, the footage is pretty much entirely kids unwrapping presents, as one might expect.

I’m posting this to as many Seattle-area subreddits and online communities as possible for exposure. I only bought the camera a few months ago and have to believe the owner is either nearby in the greater Seattle area or recently moved. In the meantime, I’m going to look for a good container for the tape so the footage stays preserved.
If anyone thinks they know the family in question, please don’t hesitate to DM me. I’ll ask for one or two omitted details for confirmation and can schedule a meetup afterwards for handing off the tape!
Thanks everyone for any help you can provide!

3 months or so into quitting my adderall prescription (yeah I know eye roll , but it was like 65 mg a day, every day )
The weight gain is so insane. I just ordered new jeans in a size Up from my old jeans , calmly like - no big deal it’s one size. I got them In the mail and they don’t fit. I went up two sizes in like 2 months. The shittiest part is I don’t eat unhealthy at all. I don’t eat sugar. I’m a healthy eater. And this is just getting to be a little much bc it all happened so so fast. When / or does it level out if you’re eating healthy ? I need to exercise more and want to but obviously the first month was a little Hard , and recently it’s just been a time Thing, but I’m far from Sedentary.
I went from a size 2 to a size 6 in a couple months and that is just wild to me and obviously makes me want to just pick my script back up. I didn’t use it for weight loss but damn I didn’t prepare for this amount of gain.

hey guys. I don't know anything about computers. mine is 5 YEARS OLD. I need someone smart to explain to me if i can run hogwarts legacy on medium or not sugar-honey-ice-tea settings (settings that make it look like im playing it on ps2).
my specs: intel core i5-7400 3ghz, gtx 1060 3gb, 32gb rm 2400mhz.
please dear god dont say "buy new pc" I KNOW, I DONT HAVE MONEY. ANYWAY can i run it in MEDIUM settings? or at least anything other than low because i will cry if i cant. Thank You

Not sure if this has been suggested...
Pay what you want model with a minimum price maybe say $10 ...every $5 dollar you pay gets you one entry for chance to win a whatever special prize (shirt, hoodie, trading card, signed anything...) This lowers price to make it slightly more reasonable for those who can't afford in some countries and hardcore fans can still pay the $15, since they feel it's a bargain for so many elite matches or even more than $15 if they want to support Engin and the promotion as if it was a superchat. This assumes those who feels the current price is a bargain at $15 will continue to pay atleast $15. But really even if they are cheap and choose to pay $10 you have good chance or making up the difference via new buyers and the more generous gifters paying $15+
If it doesn't work out, i don't think the loss would be that drastic. But it basically lowers the risk of flat out reducing price. Would be an interesting experiment and generate data on level of interest and support from fans.
