Trader Joes has a pretty wide presence across the country (in 43 out of 50 states). And while they're not supermarkets per se, Walmart and Target have also got into groceries in recent years. There's also Costco in a similar boat.

Sort of. Among DOGE speculators, people were saying that the coin might start to be seen as more "serious" (read: track BTC swings more closely) if it reached $1. It was trading at around $0.70. Then Musk came out on national TV a

DOGE's drop over the weekend also more or less coincided w/ Musk's appearance on SNL (where he called it a "hustle"). If you recall, the previous rise in BTC also followed closely on the tails of the news that Tesla

The general counter-argument to this position is that it assumes over-consumption to be ok. In other words, saying "X put Y tons of CO2 in the air, they must pay for carbon offsets" doesn't necessarily disincentivize the CO2

For learning, I prefer deep dives. The little progress every day model only works for me when I have a large list of small things to do that incrementally progress forward. For retention, however, I prefer a hybrid model. With some deep div
