Prime Now (the same-day 2hr service to deliver items from a local warehouse) seems to be basically the same thing without having to pay for the physical space required to have shops with storage in the back.

You say it's location-based, buuuuut... I entered in nothing but my out-of-area phone number (read: no location) and I was texted a price for some avocados. One hour later I got a completely unprompted text with a different price for t

I used a spam-only email and a google voice number to sign up for all my wedding planning-related needs. It would be unbearable otherwise. It's been two years and I still get spam _every day_ despite unsubscribing (and when available,

Better bike routes/friendlier designs are a good thing, but they're still space inefficient compared to rail systems or even just plain buses. This is a favorite gif of mine to show the difference: http://i.imgur.com&#x

My personal pet peeve is ADHD with a side of stimulant abuse. Somehow it's even more incomprehensible than depression is to some of my acquaintances, yet they're more than happy to ask to "borrow" some Adderall during a

In comparison to a toaster oven though, a lot of the non-smart functionality is moot. Even a middling toaster oven should offer a lot of the same savings/convenience, and a top-of-the-line one is a tenth of the MSRP (e.g. http:/&

I'm getting ready to take the MCAT and that's pretty widely known already on premed forums. It helps that it's a partnership between AAMC and KA and was one of the first resources out there for the new edition of the MCAT.

This is just not as big of a problem as you think it is. Most blind folks I know rave about their iPhones and generally don't feel limited by it like they might have with their BrailleNotes or mediocre screenreaders/a11y tools on

To this I would add if a computer is preferred for whatever reason, sticking with VO on OS X is still nice and the whole Apple ecosystem thing actually works beautifully in this case. Far easier to use than JAWS etc. and much cheaper in the

Even if you give people at work a heads up at week 24, that's still a lot of weeks left to go in the ideal case. I caused my mother to get an emergency C-section 4 weeks early and it still wreaked havoc with everything - most important

The next time you're looking for sushi in the Castro, I suggest going a dozen steps past the old Barracuda spot and down the stairs next to the fitness shop. Down in the lower level is my favorite neighborhood sushi joint - Sushi Time.

Moissanite doesn't even get that expensive. My 1ct stone was $400, and I compared it to $300 low quality white sapphire all the way to $15k loose diamonds of a similar size when shopping. I think the biggest problem is that most people

Would be interesting if there was also some way to also get moderated comments in the analysis. I was surprised to see 2xc nowhere near 'top' for toxicity, but the mod team moderates a _ton_ of terrible comments on a daily basis.

Honestly, that looks like some ambulance chaser site. All IUDs can perforate a uterus. Any form of birth control can cause side effects. Any medication can cause problems in general. Hell, pregnancy has side effects and can potentially caus

The 'tied tubes' type can fail because the tubes can grow back together. The implant type (causes scar tissue to form and block the tubes) can fail if the tubes are not fully blocked or something else happens to them.

That's a potential problem with most hormonal contraceptives, not just the implant. That's also not something that all women experience. I've never had a problem beyond minimal weight gain with anything I've ever used (m
