No. It depends on the market, but if it is what's known as a "round-trip" market (typically international itineraries), it shifts to become "often" the case. Airlines are all about price discrimination. Leisure trav

I posted this down thread: E.g. LAX-NRT on 3/2 on UA 32 is $966 right now. Add a return flight on 3/9 and the flight _drops_ to $893.

For one-way markets what you have is true. For round-trip markets, typically internationally, what you have is not. E.g. LAX-NRT on 3/2 on UA 32 is $966 right now. Add a return flight on 3/9 and the flight _drops_ to $893. I'

Yeah I don't think anybody would ever get on your case about tight turns that were possible. The problem only occurs when you book flights with segments that directly conflict with each other. Or depart within minutes of each other des

Internationally it is common for a roundtrip to be cheaper than a one-way. No, not cheaper than two one-ways. Cheaper than one one-way.

"Instant" is wrong. I've had successful Zelle transfers take upwards of 60 minutes to clear without any sort of confirmation of progress. It's a real pain.

Yeah I've replaced all of the breakers (to living areas) in my 90s home with AFCI ones. Haven't had any nuisance trips. If I had "nuisance trips" I'd be more worried about my wiring than about my breakers...

Standard breakers only interrupt the hot side. Old wiring is full of shared neutral ghosts. It's not great but it isn't as dangerous as randomly dissipating the current throughout the house.

I'm a vim user and replace it with Ctrl. It's much more useful and you can use ^[ to get Escape.

This isn't malicious compliance. This is just what organically happens -- see Goodhart's law.

You know you can buy premium seats on most airlines, right? The revealed customer preference is the cheaper ticket. This is a good thing, not a bad thing. For printers, it's getting hard to even be able to buy something at a premium th

This depends on the type of return and the type of location. Sometimes the location doesn't support this. Sometimes Amazon won't support this.
