Glad you read the article and not just the headline.

FYI, this happens ALL the time with many different products, particularly with clothing. Sure, a lot of the extra stuff ends up at Marshall’s, TJ Maxx, etc., and some of it gets donated (like all of those unsold “Superbowl Champions!” t-shirts), but a lot also finds it’s way into landfills.

Capitalist excess!

“No, honest, Mom and Dad! There value will go up again!”

Funko Pop!(s) as an investment?

Regardless of the advice or the comments below, I don’t see any point in paying your credit card bill more than once a month. And if you actually track all of your expenses and wait until you get the bill (preferably via email notification), then you can actually verify that all the charges are correct.

My “cusp of the Boomers and Gen X” gen could not wait to get our licenses! NOBODY graduated high school without a license (though most of us did not have a car of our own or even have a third family car for our own use). I learned to drive a manual in a Toyota Celica GT (honest—it was pretty sporty and loved to rev).…

Stunning? Really? Are you following the news here in the USA? (I’m not assuming you’re an American.) Information has come out in the last few days from Dominion Voting Systems in their defamation lawsuit against FOX News (more accurately “FAUX News”) that their main television anchors definitely knew that they were…

If they could? I’m sure they have--repeatedly--and he simply hasn’t come.

The point is that it is how some people of the era that Fleming wrote in did think and feel that way. It has nothing to do with whether the language used “[has] any story value.” It places the book within a certain historical context.

First kitchen? And you recommended cookware from All-Clad, possibly the most expensive brand on the market? Yeah, good luck finding any of that at a thrift store!

Uh, throwing a javelin and pitching a baseball are two different activities. Claiming that a javelin thrower doesn’t have the arm-strength of a MLB pitcher is ludicrous. Have you even bothered to watch the sport? Or see the physique of those athletes? And it’s absurd to think that pitching a ball is merely a matter of…

I have to say that I am conflicted by changing any author’s book(s) to be more modern in terms of the treatment of other races, ethnicities, nationalities and gender. It’s certainly not that I want to see Black people described with the N-word or worse, and other groups of people wrongly disparaged. But I feel that…

No--they need an Olympic-class javelin thrower. Note how the thrower is confined to staying within a confined box on the ground for their throw, just like javelin throwers can’t exceed the throwing area.

I don’t know. But for some people, the price difference between a FWD and an AWD is the deciding purchasing factor.

Considering that a base model Crosstrek with the enthusiast’s desirable manual transmission comes in at only $23,645 (plus destination fee, etc.), I don’t see that it has “way higher margins.”

You beat me to it! It’s a pretty common dessert dish at many Jewish holidays and celebrations and it’s delicious.

Bummer that it’s not just a one-time cost for the feature. I don’t take enough photos, need the storage space or advanced editing tools, or, have that great a need for Magic Eraser to make it worth a subscription.

Sure, no argument. I agree that AWD has a lot of benefits, but it does have a slight negative effect on mileage which seems to be a premium feature at this at this price range.

Fair enough!
