Not sure where you’re seeing $60. PC Digital purchase through Gamestop is $40.
But this is a problem with digital stores vs. physical.
The physical disc on Xbox is as low as $5 at Gamestop:

Digital is still $70.
I guess I should have said “ineffective for the various health claims”. Anything can have an effect if taken in large enough doses. :)

EPA and DHA are in seafood, so if you won’t eat fish, that limits you to ALA.
From the 2nd link above:
“Vegetarians (who don’t eat fish) and vegans (who avoid all animal-based foods) can meet their omega-3 requirements by eating plenty of ALA-rich foods, such as flaxseed, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, and soybean or canola oil. People who follow these plant-focused diets have lower rates of heart disease than omnivores, who include animal-sourced foods in their diets.”
The easy part is adjusting your diet, far cheaper than fish oil.
Depends on what you want to take them for.
Most fish oil is completely ineffective:

Some medications can cause a CoQ10 deficiency, so if you’re on one of those medications, you might need a supplement, but absent that, there’s no reason to take fish oil.
Cheaper than a ground up design. But I think you can start the clock until someone uses a grinder and cuts the gun right off.

Cenotaph Road series by Robert E. Vardeman. More sci fi than fantasy, but fantasy adjacent sci-fi.
Substack blogs are not vetted news sources. I don’t doubt the story, but the community needs a better source.
Carlin used to joke about the India / Pakistan conflict. “Ancient hatreds with modern weapons!”
Lather, rinse, repeat for 5,000 years.
My co-workers are also rarely in the office, so it makes no difference. ;)
I’m sure it got jpegged to hell by the various sites sharing it.
Bonus if it drops the poop in the offending owners yard!
What if I told you it’s not going to double the framerate either?

The Vestal Virgin shit was a reference to all the Brooke Shields bullshit in the 80s. The media figures at the time were more or less placing bets on who would get to bone her first. It was gross.

So Coppola literalized it.
But if you aren’t old enough to remember all that it’s going to just confuse you.
Edit My wife reminds me this was repeated with the whole “Countdown until the Olson Twins turn 18…” thing.
Nobody wants to pay $310 ($80 for a disc drive, $30 for a stand) more for a machine that looks better if you pause the game and squint hard.
Here’s a good example:
Can’t see it? The PS5 Pro has added reflections on Venom’s back and right shoulder. The texture on the door of the Jeep is marginally improved.
