   Thanks for that explanation. That matches my experience very well. I regularly feel wired and a little anxious after coffee but almost never after Coke (keeping the caffeine consumed constant). Though my intuition tells me that chugging thr

    The cost of life argument makes no sense. By this logic we should be seeing janitors, or translators, or piano teachers in SV being paid much, much more then they are. If there was a coal mine near San Francisco I suppose the miners would b

    VAT is included in the list price, the sales tax is not. Excluding the VAT, the UK price is ~300 GBP, which is roughly 430 USD. All we have is ~30 USD difference.
