price discrimination

So we took a family vacation recently and we had to drive halfway across America and what creeped me the fuck out was how we were getting such different prices on different phones while looking at the same hotel room on Priceline. For example I would look for a hotel in Chicago and find a room for a $180, then my cousin is also looking for a room on his phone and I look over and the same hotel room is $50-$70 cheaper. This kept on happening in every city we went to, like there was such a huge fluctuation between the prices one person would get on their phone and what someone else was getting. We noticed that the people with higher end Samsung phones were getting a much lower rate than those with cheaper phones. Have you ever experienced such price discrimination and is there really anyway to protect yourself from it? And do you think it's ethical for companies to charge different rates for the same product? Should there be some legislation to protect consumers from this seeing as how AI is just going to make it easier for companies to price gouge consumers to the max.

No more DOMS pain after switching to full body workout

I decided to try out a sort of full body workout targeting my chest and back after my leg workouts last week. I did the same workouts i do on my chest/back and leg days, but for some reason i was not sore at all so i tried it again in the same week and same thing. I'm shocked because my legs and core would be extremely sore after my leg workouts. After doing some research i found out that lactic acid build up was one of the culprits of doms pain, and my theory is that transitioning from lower body to upper body in the same workout might actually lower the lactic acid in the legs and delaying the pain.

Is there any weight to this theory, do you do full body workouts or do you prefer to give your lower body its own day and what pain/soreness do you feel if any after targeting your lower body.
