While not 53% accurate like my competitor, its proven by scientific studies to be 50% accurate. I also offer volume discounts if you buy 10 the price drops to only $45 per device. Sign up now!
Actually is 51% favouring the side facing up when flipped
That's easy to fix. Just randomize it. Flip a coin to see which side faces up.
Shhh! We're releasing that accuracy update in the next version of the product. We need to sell through our existing inventory of the less accurate ones.
That is supposed to be reliable? It doesn't even have a subscription service.

Trump on a streak of rare Ws. No more pennies and kicking Poilievre out of the Canadian Parliament.
Wait, he actually did something good?
Kinda yes, but in actuality no. Unless we get rid of the nickel as well, the treasury is required by law to replace the pennies removed from circulation with nickels. Nickels cost even more to mint, as a percentage of their value, than pennies, so it’s actually going to cost the taxpayers even more money.
But yes we no longer have to deal with pennies. Turns out we should actually get rid of dimes and quarters too, but that ain’t gonna happen anytime soon.
