Same question. EU IP address? For how long? EU citizenship? But EU citizens shouldn't have to send their passport info to Facebook in order to unlink accounts.

I think we spent a couple of hours at the local mattress store. I certainly don't think being Goldilocks for 40 minutes is being as difficult a consumer as you seem to think the store might have perceived it as. If anything, local stor

No, it's a comment about how NYC (until very very recently) just threw their trash in plastic bags on the sidewalk. https://www.npr.org/2023/11/09/1210494331/trash-problem-nyc-...

| The throttle is more sensitive than you'll expect at first. Automatic cars roll forward slowly unless you hold the brake. Old cars have less sensitive brake pedals - that's normal, not a sign of anything being worn out/brok

The Axios article linked in another comment shows this data for selected cities. There appears to be a pretty weak correlation. Although there could be other offsetting factors (maybe fewer employees in the high wage areas, more use of the

I mean, in general, the east bay is cheaper than the peninsula and south bay. You can even see how the prices sorta stay high in fremont then go lower as you go north. And particularly when you get to the tri-valley, land is a lot cheaper (

But it's all part of the cost of delivery. I'm not sure anyone who points out that "delivering things costs lots of money" is missing your point. You're merely assuming that the prices you see broken down the way th

I was JUST looking at that location because it's about the closest to me. I'm between EPA, University Ave, Menlo Park, and Stanford locations: 6.59, 6.69, 6.09. Meanwhile, Foster City is only $4.99!

That's... really odd. I loved Monopoly as a kid, but my family didn't love playing because the games dragged on so long. As an adult, I realize the problem with the game is that the result gets decided fairly early on and takes a

Used cars have gotten substantially more expensive; E30s in particular. Ours was a family-member-of-a-friend's car but was an honest $400 (or maybe less- I forget!) 325es in ~2008. OTOH, I just saw someone pick up a 98 Lexus GS300 for

No. First of all, you can get credit back for parts you sell off the car. In our case, the car (a full running car) was $400 if I remember correctly, and the team captain was able to sell substantial parts of the interior to make money back

Because vanishingly few people want to pay the true per-visit costs of a gym. Most of them would rather be lured in by a low price and be subsidized by the 'suckers' locked into paying for a year.
