Enjoy your one free year of credit monitoring.

Volvo’s is.

Ford and GM canceled their electric delivery vans though. Perfect timing!
- Comment on US will allow truckers to drive 16 hours per day instead of the previous limit of 14 hours 1 week ago:
If you’re driving 16 hours a day, then your cargo should probably be going by rail.
- Comment on Networks Suspend Pool Coverage of Trump After White House Bans CNN 1 week ago:
Amazingly, it looks like even CBS and Fox News suspended their coverage.
- Comment on That'll be $100k per credit hour, please. 3 weeks ago:
I don’t get why this is infuriating? Any job that you take is going to have you take the same training about diversity, sexual harassment, etc. I don’t see anything in the email saying that this training is going to cost you anything extra.
Are you just pissed off that there’s so many grammar and spelling mistakes in an email sent from a university? They probably used AI to write it.

And publishers pay people to buy their books so they get on the best seller list.

The mosquitoes that bite humans could be eradicated. I don’t know why we don’t do it. There are only a few kinds that do, leaving plenty behind for the bats and birds to eat.
- Comment on Who approved this color combination? 4 weeks ago:
Expiration dates however, are another matter. If/when you can find them on packaging, they’re often unreadable/worn off/too tiny to see without magnification.
I wish the Feds would force manufacturers to print the expiration date either on the white nutrition label, or directly above the UPC code — 8 pt or larger black type on white background.
- Comment on Healthcare cyberattacks hit pacemakers and millions of patient records 4 weeks ago:
Looking at the article, the pacemakers thankfully aren’t connected directly to the internet. The intermediary devices that can be used to read the pacemaker are unable to send/receive data to the server.

No worries. I think we’re on the same page.
- Comment on This drip coffee is now $5 dollars, up from $2.50 3 years ago 5 weeks ago:
You make an excellent point. It had just occurred to me because i have been having to cut back and find solutions to ridiculous price gouging like this. Between the high prices and the cost cutting quality of eating out these days, i find myself making a lot more stuff at home. I’ve also had to remove a lot of restaurants from my list of places to eat. One place charged me $30 for scrambled eggs, oatmeal, and iced tea. I haven’t been back.
- Comment on This drip coffee is now $5 dollars, up from $2.50 3 years ago 5 weeks ago:
I say this, but i shouldn’t jinx it. I’m sure there are a lot of companies who are salivating at the idea of jacking up the price of ground coffee at the grocery to match the ridiculous expense of retail.
- Comment on 7 Eleven near me doesn’t stock large cups so customers can’t use the app or T Mobile deals. 5 weeks ago:
7-11 leadership probably would too. They are owned by a japanese firm now that takes this business seriously. Send an email or letter to their CEO.
- Comment on This drip coffee is now $5 dollars, up from $2.50 3 years ago 5 weeks ago:
Ground coffee is about $8 a bag at the grocery. Much cheaper to make your own at home.
- Comment on Christmas is upon us 5 weeks ago:
The only good thing about this early jump start in holidays is the food. You will start seeing stuffing mix, pumpkin spice, egg nog, and other holiday foods start showing up in the grocery store soon.
- Comment on The Price of this Candy Bar 5 weeks ago:
That might depend on the state you live in.
- Comment on The Price of this Candy Bar 5 weeks ago:
Frito Lay fucked up by charging $7 for a bag of chips. It took a chunk out of their profits when people stopped buying them. They have reversed course for now.
- Comment on Peacock has ads when pausing a movie to read the text 5 weeks ago:
And they just raised their subscription price. 😆
- Comment on Buying new electrical outlet, and the grounding are just a decoration 5 weeks ago:
Is that something regional? Because in the US, power strips are often sold as grounded. Examples:

www.homedepot.com/p/…/328532018
Product details: “Grounded outlets” “Power strip”
- Comment on Buying new electrical outlet, and the grounding are just a decoration 5 weeks ago:
It should still be properly grounded.
- Comment on Prince Harry and six others ordered to pay initial £9.5m to Daily Mail publisher 1 month ago:
Amazing to me that they lost this case.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
Interesting. The photo made it look smaller than a traditional Explorer. More like a Kia — which made me curious. Hadn’t seen anything like that in the US and article says its euro-only so that would be why!
- Comment on 1 month ago:
Wondering what Ford model that is in the photograph?
- Comment on Millions in Great Britain could face emergency power cuts at short notice 1 month ago:
Perhaps Britain should roll out solar panel incentives and neighborhood battery backups? Some offshore wind might be useful right around now as well.
This is only going to get worse the longer that it’s ignored. Importing fossil fuels isn’t going to fix it. Heat is continually going up — more people will be adding air conditioning and stressing the grid.
- Comment on Netflix is garbage 2 months ago:
Considering how many streamers are encouraging people to sign up for the ad-supported plans, I think they’re making more money from the ads. Of course, they’re double-dipping just like the cable companies used to do. Charging for a subscription, and then making even more money by showing you ads.
- Comment on Netflix is garbage 2 months ago:
Just one reason their stock price is down. They no longer report subscriber numbers — you can probably guess why. It’s strange to me that a public company can just hide data from investors that might reveal when a company isn’t doing so hot.
- Comment on Man Sets Off Explosive Device Outside Federal Building in Manhattan 2 months ago:
Sets off fireworks. Media: “Explosive device!!!”
- Comment on Feels like someone's podcasts are being heavily promoted 2 months ago:
Reminds me of ebook/audiobook recommendations in the major ebook stores. You can even tell it “I’m not interested in this author” and the same book will still show up five times as you scroll through recommendations. Gotta be some marketing incentives going on to push certain titles this hard.

I wonder if he’s buying it in bulk to drive up his ranking? It’s been known to happen.
