This is the most laughable part, it means Costco has to be in on it too. And I can show they’re not, easily: the prices at Costco are more than the grocery chains! They are colluding... to keep prices low

Best offer your $64 and see if you get it. My bet is no and the eBay seller knows a bit more about what it’s worth

There is another brand that works like you want it to, Breville smart toaster. It generally gets the toast to a consistent toastiness, but if you want a bit more you just twist one of the two wheels on it

A lot of us wouldn’t even be here to have health without alcohol; it helped build our civilization. I wonder if news is worse for your health than red wine too.

Re getting old, 90s teenager here as well. I remember being able to get two high-quality footlong sandwiches plus sub stamps (member those? ) for a bonus 10% for about an hour’s work at “crappy” minimum wages. Now? Maybe one lousy quality s

I thought it was, they would have to have some sort of evidence of your name, dob, ssn, blood type, etc. But in the end it was just your information used fraudulently; you the person did not authorize the loan and therefore it really isn’t

I never really understood why the onus is on any person to prove they didn’t do something. Shouldn’t the shaggy defence be sufficient? e.g. You get hauled into court for a lawsuit demanding the loan repayment, for a loan someone else used y

I use HACK on iOS and I didn’t even know there was a version for Android. It really is a more streamlined interface to HN comments, but I was used to it by using 3rd party apps on Reddit 100% of the time.
