Something like 70% of the store has some kind of coupon available and all that is needed is the UPC to scan. This site aggregates and provides a database of known coupons. Harbor Freight tools is a discount tool and hardware store based out of California, with stores nationwide. It does not price with regional discounts and the coupons will work at any store.
This game was one of my favorites! I recently moved to a Debian / GeForce / Intel setup and could not be happier with how Steam proton has been working out of the box. I’ve been able to run the windows version of Caesar III with proton enabled flawlessly. The distributed version has some really awful default graphics, so I ran the c3respatcher [1] in wine which also worked flawlessly. Linux gaming has come a long way.
Real estate often operates on margins and has long been considered a prime store of value. In the United States, the origins of cash used in real estate transactions are rarely scrutinized, and cash-only purchases have reached a decade high this year.
Why does real estate remain relatively strong in some countries? Likely because savvy investors either want to live there or believe others will.
Real estate prices in California are at their peak, and while the media might anticipate a housing crash, it's unlikely. With large amounts of money needing a place to go and states like Florida enacting xenophobic policies that deter investment, California remains an attractive option.
I live in, or did until recently technically now I live a little outside, a very competitive housing market. All cash offers have become the norm to secure housing in the most in demand areas even for those purchasing their primary homes vs investment properties.
How this often works is a cash offer financer completes the purchase from the seller and in turn sells it to the buyer once their mortgage has been secured. The buyer rents the house from the financier until this happens. Sometimes the agreement is the financier will only purchase the property if the buyer doesn’t have their mortgage in place by the closing date.
We need to stop building houses out of wood. Every wood structure in Southern California has known termites or has them and it just isn’t known. It’s not just the foundations of structures either, drywood termites swarm yearly and cause just as much damage as any subterranean termites.
Personally, I’d rather not be treating my home with the termite fumigation chems unless I have to and have been diligent at creating a defensive barrier (6 inches) around my home and keep a tight watch over the entire structure all year. During the summer, when the drywood termites swarm, I pickup thousands in my pool and remain extra diligent.
I’d much rather just have most of the structure be adobe some other cementitious material than play a losing game of three little piggies every so many years.
Mail (physical means of communicating in writing and print) and email (connecting two people with digital signal) are similar but not a great comparison when comparing consumption of natural gas. Technology literally created additional markets for the same material, by modifying it so it could be transported more efficiently over long distances. I think you could say the new methods of natural gas production and storage are more efficient just as easily as saying the old methods were simply inefficient (it would have been possible to pipeline gas from AU to markets across the ocean, but it didn’t make economic sense because it would have been terribly costly and thus an inefficient use of resources)

What?
You are missing the point. We're talking about "markets" not the specific "tech/substitutes." It could be any technology disruption. Such disruption doesn't mean the prior status quo IN THE MARKET was inefficient. The tech shock just resets equilibrium.
Further, your explanation is circular, and I propose it has to do with muddling terminology and concepts.
Here's one inconsistency. Either the markets didn't exist (You said they need to be "created."), or they did exist, but a pipeline connecting them was too expensive.

Google isn’t really worried about password entropy beyond a reasonable amount. The primary threat model is phishing. This is why multifactor is so important and once once you have that enabled, nobody gives a shit if you even rotate your password. Just needs to be long enough and not guessable because it’s not the sole means of authentication.
Probably not a good idea to have something as critical as one’s primary email account identity tied to only a single factor of phishable credentials.
Requiring App passwords seems better, but it bypasses requiring a MF.
oAuth, while a a beast, seems even better as the workflow still initially requires a second factor.
Avoided Covid until about three weeks ago. Kid brought it home from preschool.
4x Moderna.
Symptoms were sore throat, persistent cough, mild fever and sweats. No loss of taste or smell.
Edit: not sure why this was downvoted, I’m not complaining at all about my vaccine assisted recovery. I’m also immune compromised (in the last 6 months) and fairly happy with how well things worked out. I didn’t really even need to take time off and went to (remote) meetings. Covid was nothing compared to some bad drug interactions I had a few months prior.
I thought not losing any sense of smell or taste was most interesting and it was likely due to some combination of the specific variant, the Moderna vaccines and paxlovid that prevented that class of symptoms.
Depending on age and health, it really makes it difficult to say if getting vaxxed was the “smart” move when weighing the risk of contraction vs the unknowns of any potential side effects.
If memory serves, most of the panic in the early stages was really about the risk of overloading hospitals (which mostly didn't happen) and a lack of ventilators (which it turned out that ventilators made things worse for most COVID patients). COVID-19 itself wasn't extremely lethal at any point.
> COVID-19 itself wasn't extremely lethal at any point.
On a population level, it's the most lethal virus in the last 100 years. A virus that infects everyone and that kills 0.5-1% of those it infects is almost a worst-case scenario for public health.
The idea is a 5-10% fatal virus would have far more severe social distancing and thus couldn't infect everyone. Otherwise, a "100% fatal, infects everyone" disease would be the worst case scenario.
I wish I believed you, but sadly I think we learned nothing from COVID and if version 2.0 happens and is 5-10% fatal, we would make the same mistakes all over again: ignore it, downplay it, politicize it, and then finally half-ass the fight with the same weak uncoordinated actions.
The problem with COVID was that 70% of the deaths were in the 65+ range. So it didn't feel as severe to society as it would going by the death rate alone. We lost 3 years of life expectancy (it’s not clear if it will be recovered quickly or not), most people don’t think ahead that far so the problem feels abstract.

If you have any specific qualms with the content of the article, we’d love to hear them, but a publication’s political leanings does not have any impact on its veracity.
When a publication has no credibility, it's entirely reasonable to point that out. This is the publication arm of Falun Gong, which is a cult that could be described as the Chinese version of Scientology.
Didn't know that. It does seem in this case, they are just reporting on the studies as far as I can see. Here is the source material from Science, Nature, Vaccines, BMJ and other peer-reviewed medical journals:
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Naturally Acquired Immunity versus Vaccine-induced Immunity, Reinfections versus Breakthrough Infections: A Retrospective Cohort Study https://academic.oup.com/cid/article/75/1/e545/6563799?login...
This is literally how modern internet propaganda works: selective reporting that provides enough truth to be plausible but omits enough and/or distorts to avoid being comprehensive and accurate.
There's lots of studies that discuss both the pros and cons of this subject - this epochtimes article has pointed out the ones that on their face support their narrative, and (very very very likely, given their well-earned reputation) omitted those that don't, and may/probably have come to a conclusion that the study authors would not have.
This is why everyone's so stupid right now: we're all overconfident that we understand the small shreds of evidence we have and that they're the complete picture, and that overconfidence means we talk past each other in our separate realities. The only way to get around this is a) be an expert who has a comprehensive view of the range of evidence and what precisely it means (hard), b) be humble about what we can understand, select our sources extremely carefully, and get multiple perspectives (medium), or c) ignore the noise and wait for broad consensus (easy but slow and not perfect).
One-sentence summary: IgG4 suppresses the immune response, stopping the body from fighting back, so you don't have allergic reactions to things like pollen and dust.
It’s the New York Times opinion columns that it calls far left (which I’d call accurate), while it considers the news articles to be just left of center.
I’ve never seen the NYT opinions section advocate for far left positions, like abolishing money for instance. Calling the NYT far left is like calling Joe Biden a socialist.
Also, does this mean they just aren’t going to allow fully routable ipv6 because of “abuse” or whatever (one of the promises of ipv6 whenever it’s realized probably shortly before the heat death of the universe is preciously what mullvad claims to be the cause of trouble)
Everyone having a unique globally routable IPv6 address might be less private/anonymous. Less ability to blend with the crowd. Personally I wouldn't mind ULA on a commercial VPN.
Ios26 specifically enables promotions in wallet which is viewed as a feature that can be enabled/disabled
