The lawyers are currently telling him that his victory in court is on the launchpad, but their rocketship needs more fuel.

Happens to the best of us. Now if you'll excuse me, I just got off the can and all of a sudden realized I have to take a shower.

Yes. The Amico somehow managed to time travel back to 1983 and release itself. It was so bad that it tanked the entire industry, and the Men In Black were forced to memory wipe us of its existence.

I'm astonished it got this far along in the first place.

Hey, another DAYS MINUTES SINCE counter!

LMAO they're actually pushing for proposed trial for $100k? Utterly absurd. They're going to double that in legal bills.

Part of me feels like Donny Dallarico should be like a Gallant to TT's Goofus. The anti-TT. A man who successfully released a high powered gaming console formed to look like a hand dryer.

I don't want to be on the show, thanks.

Hey! We just found the other "DAYS SINCE" counter - days since the last threat to shut down the channel.

Probably has a thing for feet (hence the footbath purchase). The specialist ladies cost more..... .....uhhh, or so I'm told.

Let's talk about the fact this cat is spending thousands at the bar. That seems like it might be a sign of something.

I still have my AA repro copy NIB sealed.

I wholeheartedly second this entire list. Juno First is still my favorite 2600 homebrew, and definitely add GORF Arcade.

Hilariously enough, the marketing plan was equally as successful no matter which product you consider!

Business owners often fail to prepare for the marketing needs of a company in terms of capital required, prospect reach, and accurate conversion-ratio projections. When companies underestimate the total cost of early marketing campaigns, it can be difficult to secure financing or redirect capital from other business departments to make up for the shortfall. Because marketing is a crucial aspect of any early-stage business, it is necessary for companies to ensure that they have established realistic budgets for current and future marketing needs. Similarly, having realistic projections in terms of target audience reach and sales conversion ratios is critical to marketing campaign success. Businesses that do not understand these aspects of sound marketing strategies are more likely to fail than companies that take the time to create and implement cost-effective, successful campaigns. (Okay, that's the last one. I saved the best for last!)

Small businesses often overlook the importance of effective business planning prior to opening their doors. A sound business plan should include, at a minimum: A clear description of the business Current and future employee and management needs Opportunities and threats within the broader market Capital needs, including projected cash flow and various budgets Marketing initiatives Competitor analysis Business owners who fail to address the needs of the business through a well-laid-out plan before operations begin are setting up their companies for serious challenges. Similarly, a business that does not regularly review an initial business plan—or one that is not prepared to adapt to changes in the market or industry—meets potentially insurmountable obstacles throughout the course of its lifetime. To avoid pitfalls associated with business plans, entrepreneurs should have a solid understanding of their industry and competition before starting a company. A company’s specific business model and infrastructure should be established long before products or services are offered to customers, and potential revenue streams should be realistically projected well in advance. Creating and maintaining a business plan is key to running a successful company for the long term.

Another common reason small businesses fail is a lack of business acumen on the part of the management team or business owner. In some instances, a business owner is the only senior-level person within a company, especially when a business is in its first year or two of operation. While the owner may have the skills necessary to create and sell a viable product or service, they often lack the attributes of a strong manager and don't have the time to successfully oversee other employees. Without a dedicated management team, a business owner has greater potential to mismanage certain aspects of the business, whether it be finances, hiring, or marketing. Smart business owners outsource the activities they do not perform well or have little time to successfully carry through. A strong management team is one of the first additions a small business needs to continue operations well into the future. It is important for business owners to feel comfortable with the level of understanding each manager has regarding the business’ operations, current and future employees, and products or services.

A primary reason why small businesses fail is a lack of funding or working capital. In most instances a business owner is intimately aware of how much money is needed to keep operations running on a day-to-day basis, including funding payroll; paying fixed and varied overhead expenses, such as rent and utilities; and ensuring that outside vendors are paid on time; however, owners of failing companies are less in tune with how much revenue is generated by sales of products or services. This disconnect leads to funding shortfalls that can quickly put a small business out of operation. A second reason is business owners who miss the mark on pricing products and services. To beat out the competition in highly saturated industries, companies may price a product or service far lower than similar offerings, with the intent to entice new customers. While the strategy is successful in some cases, businesses that end up closing their doors are those that keep the price of a product or service too low for too long. When the costs of production, marketing, and delivery outweigh the revenue generated from new sales, small businesses have little choice but to close down. Small companies in the startup phase can face challenges in terms of obtaining financing in order to bring a new product to market, fund an expansion, or pay for ongoing marketing costs. While angel investors, venture capitalists, and conventional bank loans are among the funding sources available to small businesses, not every company has the revenue stream or growth trajectory needed to secure major financing from them. Without an influx of funding for large projects or ongoing working capital needs, small businesses are forced to close their doors. To help a small business manage common financing hurdles, business owners should first establish a realistic budget for company operations and be willing to provide some capital from their own coffers during the startup or expansion phase. It is imperative to research and secure financing options from multiple outlets before the funding is actually necessary. When the time comes to obtain funding, business owners should already have a variety of sources they can tap for capital.

I guess this new development is the reason Knight Rider 2600 won't be sold in the store (and surely not any other reasons).

Hohoho hahaha,,,,,,,very droll,,,,,,very droll 👎🙁

I have many thoughts, most of which I shouldn't share.
