I just don't see who this is meant for. It's a truck shaped object. A 4 ft bed is nothing, my last compact SUV had more space. It's literally the worst(looks,aerodynamics) of both worlds.

Thanks for the link, I was going to say how much flatter Florida is, but didn't have proof. From east to west across the state, elevation only changes like 80ft. Whereas Kansas is in the thousands. However, because of all the develop

That is a very...strange wiki. If not self written, then perhaps written based on spoken self accounts. Also, I know of no place in Florida called "Coral Gates." Perhaps the transcriber misheard.

I don't know a ton about Freddie or his communication business, so want to separate that out. That said, the Figgers branded devices seem to be pure scamming. Chinese reclones that are outright lying about specs, from everything I&#x2

This was my thought, as well. At the risk of sounding...I don't know some 'ist' word, people are just raised differently and the world varies so much. Picture you're on a beach, and behind you is a shirtless man with a

I feel like we're talking past each other. In other words, you're refuting points I wasn't making, in context. It might be stupid, or a bad idea, sure. I'm not a pro office person. But the reply was in the context to

That feels... unrealistic. Apple pays well, and the folks who work there are likely able to find another job like... tomorrow. I doubt there are many financially desperate, mentally unstable people working there. That said, I suppose it c

One I alway used to get the kids with..."I heard a great knock knock joke ok...you start." It only works a couple times, but the slow realization they're stuck and what's happened is always entertaining.

Yeah, it's really bad. If an item is out of stock, it lets you get to check out before telling you, right when you place the order. It lets you put things in your cart that sell out. Putting things in your cart means nothing at all,

Can you post proof of that? It doesn't make sense, because they do free shipping over x dollars, I think 25. So you're claiming it would be cheaper to buy 2 if you weren't a prime member, which isn't the case. Editing

That's fair to say it's standard, but then I'd say the standard is fantastic. Not long ago I ordered 4 pair of sunglasses from a small outfit online. Only 2 arrived. Support took a few days to get back to me, then asking fo

I don't want to say too much specifically...but I think whoever is responsible managing their entire 'online thing' is doing a poor job. No offense meant to anyone who works there. I spoke a while informally to someone who w

I think for the typical consumer, most time spent on Amazon support are shipping mistakes. I didn't get it, the quantity is wrong, or in some cases, I got too many. Their support is fantastic on all accounts... they've never eve

I was debating that. I always considered a loss leader as something to get you into a store to buy more expensive things. This is similar I guess...but I don't think it's identical because it isn't about getting you to buy

I certainly didn't intend to do that. It's hard to write a comment addressing an entire article, but perhaps I should have quoted the tagline specifically. I was only rambling on about the 'trick of free shipping', not

by axaxs 5y ago
They definitely don't make any money on it, but I'm not sure I'd call it a loss leader, but more of a 'loss at the expense of keeping customers on Amazon.' That is, if Amazon didn't offer it, I may check out Wa

I know how some can see it as shady or misleading, but I still prefer it. That is, I prefer having the price baked in, right in front of me...no surprises. Versus some indy site I'll think 'oh only six bucks? sure I'll try

Yeah, toggle switches for some reason are always infuriating. I particularly hate the ones with text inside. It appears ticked, but says 'Disable'...wait is it disabled or telling me to click to disable. I much prefer radio but

LOL, about identical stats and understand completely. My furniture is all either wood, metal, or super cheap. No sense in dropping 2k on a fancy couch I'll just destroy in 6 months, I figure. Do you guys have size Cal king in the UK

by axaxs 5y ago
Cal King bed, because of my height. Just a foam bed in a box on Amazon. My mattresses start getting depressions in them after a year or two anyways, so I try not to spend a fortune. As for the frame, I like minimal. Just a steel platform

Absolutely. Housing wasn't ever 'midwest cheap', but cheap compared to coastal cities. That was generally offset by highish property taxes and insane house insurance rates. As an example, I remember looking up a house in V

From Florida. It isn't perfect, it works for me. I wouldn't recommend it for you. AMA, I guess. But my honest assessment is that everyone wants the same thing. Give me a cheaper house, in a picturesque neighborhood that is all

It does, for me. Prime Video is just the nudge I need to justify the cost. If not for Prime Video I'd probably not be a member, and without that fast free shipping, would probably buy more from elsewhere. All of that said, I generally

When it comes to personality traits/skills, average has to refer to the median. I can't think of a qualitative way to do it otherwise.

I'm impressed with how honest people are. Most answers were in the 40 to 60 percent range, which is about where it should be mathematically of course. Two big outliers I saw was that apparently everyone thinks they have more common se

Can you explain the DNS part? AFAIK the sender just looks for MX on the domain itself, regardless of local part.

by axaxs 5y ago
Understood and good points, but think of the end game. I talked to a guy last week who works for an 'investment' firm. He said they're buying about 10 houses a week in my market, renting them all. It really blew my mind. I

by axaxs 5y ago
Agreed. Every time I get into a thought or conversation about it my blood just boils. Screw taxing...make it illegal for any person or entity to own more than say, 2 houses. Maybe 3? Downvote away, but real estate investors are real scum

Perhaps if you drink it lightly roasted? I had some made in Batangas and it was dark roasted, and tasted like your typical dark roast of anything else...to me.

I wonder why they made no mention of Liberica, which is currently grown in very hot climates? I'd be interested in how they compare.
