Recently visited a country where cash is very much preferred and it was such a breath of fresh air. I thought it would be annoying to have to keep up with the spare change and what not but it was fine and actually felt pretty good. I've since started using cash a lot more at home.

My cat would die for me too. He's my little one-eyed one-brain-cell angel

I'd be surprised if this isn't already happening or at the very least being tested on a smaller scale.

God forbid you need to check out (only one checkout lane open bc it's so early) right behind one of those old people as they take about 65 centuries to pull exact change out of their asses

As someone who has been trying to grow tomatoes in containers for about 10 years, I can confirm that it really is difficult. It took me about 5 years to achieve fairly consistent results and get the hang of properly amending the soil, planting correctly, watering, pruning etc. And I still have years where the production is really low, largely due to fungal diseases.

Maybe because it's also in awful shape.

It's a documentary of a darker version of Idiocracy. At least in Idiocracy it seemed like the characters had an ounce of morality, they were just really really dumb.

Anecdote:

I was recently browsing an auto listing app for a used EV as I'm thinking about switching to an EV from my ICE hatchback, and the market near me is absolutely flooded with Teslas, primary model 3s. And it's not just "old" ones either. Tons of 2020-2024 models as well.

Your summary is probably how a lot of US businesses handled this but I don't think this is quite how Costco responded to the tariffs. They really seemed to try to foot the bill for the tariffs where they could. Especially on produce and staples.

There was something similar in ruby/sapphire/emerald if I'm remembering correctly.

Damn. Not even peeling them is extra devious.

And don't forget the requirement to pull the button two to three times immediately after picking up a power drill.

Pretty much. I saw an allergist recently and he said Benadryl doesn't really help with allergies, but was like, "hey if it helps you sleep go for it." ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Okay well now you're gonna have to elaborate. Give us some trade secrets

This is a tried and true unpopular post here... So I'll post it again.
