I'm a bit confused about those anti features. Can anyone explain?

This whole equation is very complicated. Price is not always king, even for a cheapskate like myself.

Sometimes I buy a few smaller things from my neighborhood hardware store because it saves me time over going to the big box store. Time is money too. 30 minutes to save $1 is not worth it. If I need a lot of stuff, I will only buy from a big box store and save a lot over my local hardware store. If the project is big enough I may even price shop between the big box stores. The vast majority of my dollars go to the retailer with the lower markup.

But. Once I bought a hacksaw at Walmart. I try pretty hard not to buy stuff from Walmart but when it is Sunday night at 8pm and I want my toilet to work on Monday morning, there are not many choices at all for where to buy a hacksaw. So wally world won because of their hours.

But in general, I agree. Paying a lot more just to buy local is not sustainable for most people.

I'm going to continue to monitor this thread but so far I'm surprised at how little use most are getting from AI tools. And the highest upvoted comment is that one does NOT use AI tools in their daily routine.

So much hype around AI recently and I'm not seeing/hearing a lot of REAL, PRACTICAL use case for it.

Interesting.

Not certain what exactly you mean by "solve", but some solutions already exist like park and ride. I also think as ebikes become more popular they will also solve the "last mile" problem.

I think moo know what they were saying. Moo should not lie to us.

Just curious: How do these 2 stack up? In what ways are they better or worse than each other?

All the best to you, friend.

I've found that the darkness during the darkest times in my life has been a false darkness, multiplied by my own myopia and depression.

I don't know you or your exact situation beyond what you've said here. But I do know you can overcome. You CAN survive this and one day you will thrive. Survive, then thrive.

All the best to you, friend.

?
Pretty normal to drink in the theater when they sell alcohol.
Maybe you should go sit in the corner and reread the article.
