      Why are the rubber duckies 2 million dollars apiece? That’s what I’d like to know.

      It makes a lot of sense. I’ve been using tucks like that for years, along with Publix 100% recycled TP. I wouldn’t buy Kleenex because their paper is made out of rainforests.

      “A recent study shows that it would take 76 work days a year to read all the terms of service that you agree to annually.” I feel fairly certain that’s not true. That’s 608 hours. Even if it took an hour to read one (which some may, but most are much shorter than that), I’d have to be agreeing to almost two a day. At the 10 minutes it probably takes, that’s like 10 a day. I know I’m certainly not agreeing to 10 TOS’s per day. My best estimate is that it’s probably only a couple hour’s worth per year, unless I’m HUGELY underestimating how long they are and they actually take as long to read as a small novel. Either that, or I agree to far more of them than I think I do, or far fewer than they think I do.
