    Ah the American way. Fail to innovate and block out the competition.

    Free market ftw

      I don’t even run it locally but API usage is dirt cheap for how powerful it is. I’m still on my original top up of $10 with heavy usage.

          More like “the concrete sizzles as the milk eats through it.”

          I mean, it had said something about pasteurization heat just before that, but I don’t think that’s right.

            Yeah, boiling milk is is going cut through concrete at about the same rate a river cuts through a continent, and that process isn’t melting

              Hmmmm milk is slightly acidic, and concrete will dissolve if the pH is lowered from its normal high alkalinity, so given a large enough volume of milk…I suppose milk would dissolve concrete substantially faster than water would.

          There’s going to be a temperature range somewhere between “fridge” and “corona of the sun” where that milk is the foulest-smelling thing in the universe.

    But… but… the invisible hand of the market! Unrestrained competition! Capitalism driving innovation! Oh wait, was all of that bullshit and while you’re lobbying congress to cut public funding for shit like school lunches the minute you face the tiniest hardship from a competitor you turn around and ask for a handout? Suck it up, buttercup. Guess socialism wins again huh?

      Why socialism? Has nothing to do with it

      I see that besides a low dictatorship in China, there is actually their own sozialism with Chinese Characteristics.

        Yeah, that’s why I said socialism and not communism. 👍
