The reason they're cheaper is because they're last years cards. Every year the card companies rotate out the older material. And then sell the warehouse cases to the dollar stores dirt cheap.
Shoot... all those John Kelly and Jim Mattis themed birthday cards I was hoping to stockpile are now worthless!
Much of that goes into licensing the famous cartoon character that appears on an expensive Hallmark greeting card but not on the cheaper cards that Dollar Tree sells for $1.00 and Walmart sells for $0.98.
I’m sure this is part of it... but I haven’t found even generic cards for under five bucks most places. And the price listed on the back of the cards I buy at Dollar Tree - which is what you’d pay if you bought them elsewhere - is usually $3.95, $4.95, or even $5.95.
I mean, we've been taxing folks to keep farms alive for generations now - it's a legitimate logical problem letting market forces eliminate our agricultural infrastructure.
Well, especially with food there’s a legitimate argument to make that a country needs to be at least marginally self-sufficient for purposes of self-defense. In the US, for example, it’s probably true that without any subsidies the vast majority of our food production would migrate to outside our borders (a fair bit of it is there already) - which could be problematic in wartime.
We have one near us - it’s not a grocery store. It is a great place to buy greeting cards, gift wrap (or gift bags), stuff like that. The kind of stuff which is priced unreasonably high elsewhere.
Seriously - why should a paper birthday card cost seven or eight bucks? Why should a gift bag cost ten dollars or more?
I'm assuming that there's a perfectly good set of stairs that can be used instead of escalators.
Welcome to University of Washington station, where they didn’t design in stairways in order to keep the footprint of the station as small as possible! Oh, and the reason they had to keep the footprint small was because of limited construction space between a football stadium and one of the busiest roads in the US.
Oh, and the reason it’s near the football stadium is because boosters thought it made more sense to have it there for six games a year rather than in the middle of campus where the university’s 40000 students would have the quickest access from train to classroom 260 days a year. .
Most OSes seem dependent on the integrity of the lock-screen program when it comes to blocking keyboard access to the OS. I seem to recall a problem related to this with an early iteration of the Gnome screensaver (not Xscreensaver)... and I think there was one with Mac’s screensaver component some years ago.
Seriously... why would you analyze your kid's DNA in this manner? Even if you're not the father, it's not the kid's fault - but the child is the one most likely to suffer for it.
I think people put too much faith in these low-budget companies like 23 & Me. Whether it's contaminated samples, or claiming to analyze all sorts of DNA while actually only looking at mitochondrial results... their results shouldn't be considered definitive.
I suspected as much when the thief stopped, swept back his cape with one arm, stuffed the package into his top hat, and looked straight into the camera with an evil smile while twirling the end of his mustache between his fingers.
Last year it was at 52%, now it's at 75%. Google increased from 81% to 88%.
But still... even when understanding my query isn't an issue, I've found that typing/clicking is faster than talking for setting up most things - the exceptions being "set a timer" and "when I get home, remind me to...".
Our local Fred Meyer got the makeover treatment about 18 months ago. I like that they’ve expanded their organic and natural foods section... that’s the only reason I ever go there anymore. For everything else, I shop at Winco - it’s closer, and their overall prices for the exact same stuff is usually 15-30 percent lower (guesstimating based on how much our grocery bills have gone down).
I took over the grocery shopping after my wife started having some health issues - and I’ve found I kind of enjoy it. Plus I really want to pick out my own produce and meat... So I can’t see us taking advantage of anyone’s delivery service, not just Bezos World’s.

My favorite is still It’s a Wonderful Life. Especially if you include the lost ending...

Die Hard and Gremlins are Christmas movies.
And going back to the classics... so is The Thin Man.
There are almost two million “.us” domains. It surprises me that more than a handful of people have bothered to register one.

Because, if not, the US “owning it” doesn’t really put anyone at the US government’s mercy - it’s a passive service.
Sure, you can jam the clients... but that messes up both friend and foe.
Well I slept with your wife!

Fortunately it was delivering marshmallows. A second robot was carrying graham crackers and chocolate bars.
Hard to see the extinguisher past his leg.
Is that a fire extinguisher or are you just happy to see me?

Chief: Max, we had a safety driver in the car and still hit a pedestrian.
Max: Here’s an idea, Chief. How about we have TWO safety drivers? That way if one’s distracted, the other can take over!
Chief: Max, what if they both get distracted?
Max: (pause) Okay... how about THREE safety drivers, Chief?
(the Chief remains unconvinced, and the discussion continues)
.

Chief (later that evening, during the test): I don’t know, Larabee. I’m worried. Maybe I should’ve went with Max’s plan.
Larabee: What plan was that, Chief?
Chief: The one with 99 safety drivers.
Are any of them suffering from seNIlity?
With them... how could you tell?
One of the Pythons died a few decades ago; and the rest are in their 70s.
I don't see the point of this article.
The point of this article is for a random Internet author to complain that AT&T is ignoring him.
