It's published as a Firefox extension and you should be able to find it by searching for Lasso but I think I need to push the latest version and update the website. Thanks for the reminder. Which other browsers would you like?

I wrote a chrome extension to help with this. Clips all the coupons so you don't have to do individual searches. Has resulted in some wild surprise savings when shopping. www.throwlasso.com

Maybe SiriusXM can pick this up. The audio quality is generally awful but especially on news/talk channels like Bloomberg and CNBC. There is no depth or richness to the voices.

Still disappointed in how they ran the "name the new wagoneer" contest. Never followed up proactively, pretty sure they were hoping people would forget about it. And then when probed over a year later said "we decided to ke

Strats tend to have limits. What works for you may fall apart with large amounts of capital. Don't discount compound interest. $10,000 compounding 30% over 20 years is 2 million without any additional capital.

Fun. You could also try putting the data into Google's data studio (now looker) to visualize them in an interactive map you can publish. Add things like size of dot corresponding to number of attempts, add reverse DNS/whois info

I went through this exercise a while back randomly sitting on my couch wondering how much it would cost to fill my house with $100 bills. For your purposes, assuming $100 USD bills, 1m cubed is roughly 71 million USD. A 2000 sqft house with

Thanks for the heads up. They modified their UI to use "Apply" when previously it was "Save Offer". I have pushed an update. Usually takes google a couple days to approve. Will be v1.0.2.0

The coupon limit is annoying and not something enforced by all stores. For example Albertsons family stores are unlimited as are dollar general and rite aid. I wrote a chrome extension to clip all the coupons from major retailers across t

The best you can do is get an early warning by running your extension via an automation framework and getting alerts on errors then publishing a fix and waiting for approval from Google. Too many unknown unknowns. You're searching for
