Yeah, I doubt she’ll even look at an oyster again. But at least I got Chipotle back - she blacklisted it ironically during their Norovius outbreak.

It’s partially my fault. I introduced my girlfriend to the wonderful world of oysters, but didn’t caution her on where not to get them. I’ve been trying to delicately tell her to be more careful, but I’m pretty sure that whatever she contracted from them is doing a better job than whatever I can say.

Probably not, they were discounted oysters at a bar, and not a particularly nice one.

My girlfriend has Norovirus-like symptoms after eating oysters here in NYC. What are the odds those contaminated oysters made it to NY?

Oh yes I’m writing to my congressman right now about this outrageous pepperoni pizza topping theft. I encourage you to as well. I hope they drop everything to attend to this national emergency immediately.

I’m really glad this story has a happy ending.

I’m wondering if it has to do with folks missing flights under circumstances that would entitle them to be rebooked at no cost to them. The most likely scenario here is a missed connection. I’d imagine many flights departing from a hub have some average percentage of connecting passengers, maybe often on the same…

Again - if the toppings cost less, the pizza would cost more. The lost margin on the toppings doesn’t just disappear if you reduce it - margins elsewhere need to be increased so that the business’s overall margins remain consistent.

Overbooking is legal because your ticket doesn’t guarantee you a seat on that plane. Because you usually get on the plane that you booked makes people feel like that’s what their ticket is, but it’s not. It’s more of a promise to get you from point A to point B... eventually.

I could go for a dip in a good loop pool right about now.

If the toppings cost less, the pizza would cost more. For something to be made cheaper, something else needs to be made more expensive, to pay for the operation of the business, and yes, even some profit.

WASD sells a Cherry MX sampler so you can try each switch type yourself. Any keyboard using Cherry MX keys will sound and feel the same, except for differences created by the keycap (which are comparatively minor).

And yet, we have a ton of options for IUDs.

Anything larger than a “smartphone” is banned on US-bound flights originating from a list of foreign airports. I’m assuming that unless DHS can implement new screening technology to screen for whatever threat they discovered, this ban will expand to cover all commercial flights eventually. Tablets would definitely be…

Just in time for the upcoming ban on laptops on commercial flights!

It’s worth noting that the Reserve increases the portal redemption value of your Ultimate Rewards points (even those earned on other cards) to 1.5 cents, compared to the Preferred’s 1.25 cents. If you’re sitting on 100k points, that’s an extra $250 just for having the card.

It’s worth noting that most people are not one accident away from going bankrupt, because most providers will accept some kind of payment plan (whether that be for the portion you owe due to a high deductible, or the entire bill because you don’t have insurance). Providers are happy to be paid at all, so they are…

I agree - other than the rust issue, it’s fantastic. It literally has never moved, and I’ve got mine loaded, too.

FWIW I have the larger version of this and it has started to rust. I’m generally a big fan of simplehuman’s stuff, but was disappointed with this particular product.

I agree in theory, but don’t know what that legislation would look like. The direction we’re headed (from both sides) does nothing to solve the underlying problem that patients aren’t (usually) exposed to costs which in turn prevents providers from being exposed to natural market forces. I’d like to think that if we…
