In many cases you are talking about the labor and gas of driving to one house being worth more the items themselves. The shippers got into bed with Amazon, I believe not fully realizing the scale that they would be utilizing them. Amazon is almost surely the most discounted customer, which would be fine in a scenario…

I work in the logistics biz and I think Amazon has dug itself a hole with Prime in giving away too much for too low of a price. The 2 day shipping being the most problematic. A significant amount of Prime users have to be loss leaders, utilizing 2 day shipping almost daily for trivial items. I'm not privy to the kind…

I disagree. Base model cars generally have the same stuff under the hood as upgraded models. When you pay for upgrades you are often paying for more electronic "layers" of stuff to play with, or unnecessary stuff like leather seats. I think a base model holds BETTER resale than upgrades because the hundreds and…

I'll never understand how people and businesses justify paying that much... you're paying 10x more for better food, a comfier seat, and more ass kissing. Same plane, same smells, same wasted time. High end hotels, cars, and restaurants often only command 2-4x premium over "regular" options.

I'm pretty sure in high school there was kids that really thought High Life was actually good beer.

Here in Minneapolis a new brewhouse opens seemingly every week, but everyone here is so IPA happy there's really not that much variety. Would really like to see some more variations, particularly some Belgian style, but maybe there's difficulty I am not aware of. I find hoppy beers to be so damn bloating I feel like…

While everyone laments the bygone glory days of air travel, they will not spend more for increased amenities. They book the cheapest flight. Air travel is comparatively less expensive than the days of regulation and glamour. Most people are willing to deal with the equivalent experience to a city bus and spend the…

I recently read a very interesting book on the gentrification of Venice Beach, and one thing you can take away from it is that for every person that moves somewhere with at least some respect for the legacy residents and existing "charms" of a place, there are waves of others that simply see property waiting to be…

I know, sounds like pure hell trying to juggle lies all the time, and double the usual relationship/family drama. These people have to have a significant lack of empathy and/or have very shallow definitions of a "'relationship"

I thought my skills declined so much that I couldn't even play softball either... but I played some pickup games of baseball and I realized that softballs are harder to field and catch than baseballs, at least for me.

Im sure this family wouldn't mind cameras intended for physical security being turned on them to discover their own deficiencies and shortcuts in their own workplace. Get real, welcome to the world of global commerce, your shit will occassionally get crushed, tossed, or otherwise not kissed before it is gracefully…

Knocks his friend off for talking to people he had "beef" with? Reminds me of the kind of the wanna-be ghetto drama that would go on in high school after a night at the 16+ club.

What kind of overzealous DEA agent is wasting their time pulling over speeders?

Suburban expansion is the US mostly over... the old model of selling more cars to the newly minted middle classes, which worked from post World War 2 until the 90s is done. The question is if the good old boy, entrenched interests of the auto industry can save themselves from their own dinosaur mentality and actually…

New technology is scary. take that hippies

What is the point of a 3D map? It has no real purpose other than eye candy. I would rather put those resources towards better data and local info.

Ah yes, the perils of being young and rich. Looking forward to the next chapter in this series of articles about problems none of us can relate to.

Porn industry revenue as a whole is down around 50% or more from the DVD/paysite heyday in the early 2000s. At least from what I heard. I'm surprised producers still give out so much content for free. Piracy aside, the trailers the content producers put on the tube sites are usually enough not to bother with being…

From my own experience and observing others, the main problem with online dating is simply this:

I'm not sure how state run exchanges of private medical insurance amounts to the "Feds" managing my medical care...
