The Cherry mechanical switches are big plus on the Freewrite. AlphaSmart uses membrane switches, a deal killer for some.

Amazon has massive network of 3rd Party Sellers who ship items directly from their own warehouses, not relying on Amazon’s currently-hobbled fulfillment centers You can find these by selecting “other sellers” on the Amazon product page. Thi

True on high volume plastic bottles, caps, etc. Those must be manufactured geographically near final distribution, too expensive to ship billions of empty plastic bottles half way around world. And lots of the tooling for this high volume

Then why make a bunch of noise about shipping price when you meant landed price? Amazon has enchanted the world with their “prime” badge. Enchantments rarely end in the enchantee’s best interest.

You realizing shipping price is a completely artificial construct? Amazon doesn’t magically have power to ship things for free. You’ve been paying more for items on Amazon because of “free shipping”.

The economy is 75% of what it was 3 weeks ago. Numerous industries have laid of 50%+ of their laborers. I’m going to wager there is less demand for premium products.

But you realize the reason expensive things are expensive is because there are enough people willing to pay the premium. If demand for premium products diminishes, premium product producers can either lower prices to meet demand at lower pr

I'm trying to understand what is a rational level of preparedness, so also re-evaluating my priors. My sense is a pandemic is not equivalent to a natural disaster. But a lot of the “be prepared” content seems to conflate the two, whic
