You can, but it's usually a larger difference. A car that might be negotiated down to $5k or $6k on the private market, will probably be at $9k-$10k on the dealer lot. Plus they'll tack on document fees, and so on. In the end, you

Are there any utilities that have progressive rates electricity rates? Where the first X kWh are $0.12/kWh, the next Y kWh are $0.15/kWh, and then anything over Z kWh are $0.18/kWh, etc? Though it seems that nowadays, much of

Motorcycles only seem cheap. Factor in a proper set of gear, like helmet, jacket, pants, and gloves, and you're up another $1k. Also note that maintenance intervals are more frequent. Consumables, such as tires, will be more expensive

They may not have the best prices at every point in time, but they consistently have good deals. There are several price trackers out there; Keepa and CamelCamelCamel are the big ones. Use them to your advantage and figure out whether the i

For what it's worth, been buying from Amazon for the past 15 years or so, and not once received a counterfeit product. Granted, I still don't like they they mix up their inventory, but I think it's a smaller problem than peop

Ikea has products at just about every price category. The cheap stuff is cheap, the more expensive stuff is nicer. There's something for everyone.

Fantastic work! Never would have expected an indicator led on a washing machine to also contain a phototransistor for their diagnostic interface.

To those wondering about tire wear: "Despite the slightly higher levels of tire wear from EVs, brake dust was found to be more unhealthy, as brake dust is much more likely to become airborne (>40%) than tire wear is (1-5%). So EVs c

Yeah, no. Most homes are in the range of 1.500.000 to 2.500.000 kroner. There are some homes closer to 1.000.000 kroner that need repairs or remodeling. You are not buying anything livable for 500.000 kroner, sorry. Those days are in the pa

Most of these drones have wide angle cameras for navigation and obstacle avoidance. They would need to be within a couple of feet of a window to actually see what's going on inside. If they're hovering over your yard, they'll

Well said. I like the hurricane analogy. It's naive to think that it can be ignored. It will come around and affect you, and at that point, it might be too late.

It certainly feels like enforcement is down. I've noticed a lot more entitled behavior, like drivers blowing through red lights or cutting up on the shoulders. Another thing I've noticed is the amount of license plate readers that

Yarn has definitely gone up in price. Acrylic yarn is fine to get into knitting. However, if you'd like to try some better quality, it'll cost you. Knitting a blanket with cheap yarn would run about $100 (20 skeins, at a cost of $

Some of the examples are references from the shows on Nebula. That one is likely from HAI Crime Spree. "Enter the Snack Zone" is from Jet Lag: The Game.

Right side, by a large margin. Better word choice and more natural flow. It feels a lot more human.

It seems like a retaliatory move regarding the potential ban. If lawmakers are going to assert that DJI drones threats to national security, might as well disable the built-in geofencing and demonstrate the kind of threat they could be. Not

I'd argue that new, low-end laptops are in the $300-$400 range. Most people would be better served by a new laptop, instead of a decade old refurb. Sure, basic tasks might not need additional processing power, but things like better ba

This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Especially the border artwork–the level of detail in some of the sketches, the choice to use plants to tie in the advertisements together. Definitely from a different era.

It's one thing to have a camera giving an overview of a roadway. It's another to a camera that is reading license plates, that can be tied back to individuals. I'm not sure how much benefit the latter has to the public, but I

Seasonic's product lines are relatively simple to figure out. They haven't changed in years, except with the addition of the Vertex line. At the very least, they're easier to understand than other power supply manufacturers.

Can't say that I feel bad for them. Skydio builds inferior drones and sells them at exorbitant prices. Instead of innovating, they opt to lobby and ban the competition (DJI and Autel). This is not atypical–however, the more you dig int

On a walk, you can truly take in the details of your surroundings—the kind of details that you would otherwise whizz past on a bike. Two different kinds of paces.

It doesn't kill them per se, but it doesn't seem to promote them either. The good content takes a lot more digging to find. Not an easy task, considering how bad the search on YouTube is.

Target does this, showing you online pricing based on the local store you have set. Doesn't matter where you pick up the item from; if you change your local store to a different neighborhood, you can expect the app to show different pr
