Camel Camel Camel[0] has good price history, but it's for Amazon products only. It's on a per product basis, so all of the individual variants will have their own graph. [0]: https://camelcamelcamel.com/search?sq=g

I'm not quite sure this would apply to you, but maybe it will help someone else: Slow down! You'll likely add more value by being 10% slower with more correctness than 10% faster with more mistakes. If you go by average time spent

I always wonder how low the IP for Mickey will sink when that copyright expires. Disney can usually produce good enough content with Mickey including some games (Kingdom Hearts series) and animation for kids. It might not hit the mark for e

I thought that comment was strange as well. For $10/month, Netflix provides a bevy of entertainment. It's probably one of the cheapest forms of entertainment - even more so among paid forms of entertainment. If you're hurting

If Netflix went to in-house only, then they could significantly (I assume) drop the price. Part of Netflix's big expense is licensing content. If all of the major players are pulling content, then the licensing costs for all of that co

I didn't downvote you, but I'm guessing it's because of your claim. Blaming trichotillomania on a video game is pretty bold, and you haven't provided anything to back it up. It's a dubious claim to start.

You're missing the point entirely. It's not about the difficulty in making a change or a repair. It's about liability. If you hire a locksmith, then you have reason to believe that someone was professionally trained to fix th

Depends on the locale, but sometimes just talking to the city works. If you're in a rural area of a smaller town, the mayor or council may not have reason to go to the rural areas. That can seem like they're getting purposefully n

Twitter did do something like that. Hashtags. It started as a way to help users categorize their tweets. It still serves that purpose, but it also functions as beacons to users and a way to highlight a specific sentiment.
