I love that waze let’s you at least specify a preference. Apple maps and Google Maps are too simple in this regard IMO. Ideally, for advanced users, you could choose 0-100 how to optimize for route “stickiness” (staying on the same roads) v

I love that waze is configurable in this and other ways. That + the cop detector are what drive me to use it. Sadly, as an iOS user with CarPlay, it’s apple maps for nav with waze running in the background to alert me of hazards. Not elegan

If going down this route, we must also ask why a CT scanner costs millions of dollars. Medical equipment costs are equally insane. Basically, the costs of everything in the medical field are greatly inflated because they can be.

Someone I know was recently in the hospital for heart surgery. Granted, it’s more involved than a “simple” ER visit, but the total time for the operation was ~7 hours with 4 days of in-hospital recovery after. Total cost: $260k If you look

It's good until you've had Shake Shack or Steak n Shake. Both have much tastier burgers IMO. In-N-Out is fine, and I don't have a problem with them, but I'm also not over the moon about it and truly don't understand

I'm guessing that the sentiment here is that the employee getting paid 70K at McD is adding much more value than 70K + other costs, especially if they're single-highhandedly responsible for saving entire locations.

Btw, people are doing lots of arbitrage with crypto currencies as well if you weren’t already aware. It could be a fun way to play with it without spending much if you’re interested.
