Very good breakdown. Though I suspect for many people, the bigger issue isn’t necessarily the upfront math, it’s having the discipline and planning to use the extra breathing room of “zero interest for 15 months” productively rather than wasting it.

I had the exact same reaction.

I’m extremely skeptical—for one, at least in the past 25 years or so, bandwidth used by the average consumer grows MUCH slower than processing speed, and with greater processing speed comes higher per second volumes of data.

You should have prefaced this by telling readers to set their bar of expectations really low - I checked a few cities at random and in each of them, only a small handful of neighborhoods in the heart of downtown had any 5G coverage...and even that sounds better than it is, because when you zoom down to the…

The real question is how much crummy Italian do you have to eat to make up for the savings versus having good Italian.

It’s fairly common in restaurants and bars. The purpose of the ice is to keep the smell down by watering down the pee, works pretty well actually.

Agreed. They definitely lost something when they went from a small local park (that you could basically do in a day, two tops) to a corporately-owned Six Flags. Even if the rides were the same (or bigger), it just definitely wasn’t the same - either in the tangible things like price and ease of access or the…
