I can't believe that's real... I just can't... But it's ' 'Murica! ' so I just don't know...
That's...

Kind of disgusting.
AFAIK colleges make money off of football, so having a good coach pays off even if you have to pay him a large salary. It's not so much disgusting as rather standard business practice.

I'm going to do the smart thing here and disengage. This isn't a hill I paticularly care to die on.

Its a sad state of affairs when sports is more profitable to an educational institution than education.

TBH it makes sense because I don't want to get drunk and pay to watch some undergrad student struggle through his philosophy 101 class or something along those lines

I just read through Tawaorchir's sigtext.
Wait. People read sigtext?  :P
Every once in a year or so, yeah.
I actually read the more often than that, thanks very much.

TBH I think it's proportionate retribution. What if he had decided to summon the megazord as self-defense?

It's not the price difference between the Euro and the Dollar on display there. International editions of textbooks (technically illegal to sell outside of India or South Africa or whatever their intended country is due to copyright) cost a tiny fraction of what the regular edition does.

I get that you have some beef with the Euro, but that's not it. I can order whichever I want from where I live.
It's two editions of the same book by the same publisher, one for the Western market, one an 'International edition' for what essentially amounts to India and neighbours.
In other words, you're paying five times as much for the same book printed on a somewhat higher quality paper when you buy it through regular channels.

Holy crap, why did I not start watching One Punch Man earlier? This is the best thing.
probably figured an autobiography wouldn't be interesting

My previous employer was threatened with legal action on at least three separate occasions for mistakenly selling international editions, although this was before 2013.
