It allows you to compare between different package sizes for the same product, but not between different products. Our goal here is to compare different products.

Added Nesquik to the table.

if you make that kind of analysis with anything at Costco you are always going to buy the thing at Costco, which is the fundamental trade off of Costco, giving up variety for good prices on large quantities.

This kind of analysis just tells you what the costs are. If price is all you care about, then sure, you'll just get everything at Costco. But usually, there's much more at play than just price. This would tell you how much you're paying for the other things you might care about, thus enabling you to make a decision on whether or not it's worth it.

Would it be? When you buy food, it's usually either for the nutrition content, satiety, or flavour. Absolute mass doesn't correlate with any of these as far as I'm aware. How would you use this value?

The person you borrow from gets a small guaranteed win because you get paid a small amount for the privilege of borrowing their shares. The one who loses is whoever bought the shares at the higher price. That can be the person borrowing the shares, or it can be another person interacting with the stock market at the other end of your transaction.

I decided to do the math and compare them to my go-to cereal (Post’s Cranberry Almond).

• Post: I can get a 1.4kg box from Costco for under $10
• Farm girl: Has 4 types of cereals, all are $11 for a 280g bag, discounted to $8.25 each with subscribe and save.
• Truely: $60 for 800g. There doesn’t appear to be any cheaper options.

I'm mostly looking for easy Calories, so at 4x the cost, I can't justify making the switch. For those who are mainly looking for protein and a convenient breakfast to fill your stomach, the Canadian versions look pretty good. Note that this says nothing of how filling they are or how good they taste.

Happy to add some others to the table for ease of comparison. Just give me the nutritional info and how much you pay for them.

There's a few scenarios where I think it's worthwhile to get into these discussions online. Listed below in order of how much effort I'd put into it.

• I don't know enough to hold an opinion or my currently opinion stands on shaky grounds, and I either want the other party to convince me of their position, or use the discussion to flesh out my thoughts and come to a more solid conclusion.
• The stance I currently hold differs from the other party and I want to understand where we diverge. Do they know something I don't? Did they consider a variable that I didn't think about? Did they just start from a different set of "facts" and neither of us have the means of verifying which is correct?
• I agree with their conclusion but disagree with how they reached it. The intent is to help the other party strengthen their position so that they can go off and preach the good word to everyone else more effectively.

The last scenario is the only one where I'm actually trying to change someone's mind. I do recognize that it's unlikely, which is also why I wouldn't put much effort into this. For everything else, the exercise of putting your thoughts into coherent words and thinking in new directions is where the value lies. Having the discussion with someone else forces you to consider many things that you wouldn't otherwise think about on your own.

Handling hate speech is tangential to promoting logical and well thought out discussions. I believe that this kind of community necessarily has to be homogenous in terms of values, otherwise there's nothing to discuss. If I want to maximize the number of oranges growing in the orchard and you want to maximize the number apples, then that's two conflicting goals. If we get into a discussion on how to manage the orchard, it won't go anywhere because at the end of the day, I don't care for apples and you don't care for oranges. There's no amount of logic that can convince your taste buds to change how they respond.

Do they also have a playlist for his cook time? I feel like it might be useful in the upcoming years.

So that must be what Spotify's doing with all the data they're collecting.

The cook time varies a lot based on how dry the pasta is, which depends on how old they are, how they've been stored, and the air humidity where they're stored. It can vary as much as ±5min. Even on a conventional stovetop, it takes about 30s at most to come back to a boil after you drop in the pasta.

The best way to get perfectly cooked pasta is to regularly check on them.

Whatever you decide to do, make sure to keep backups. You don't want to lose years of work because of a hard drive failure.

I've always gotten the impression that he's the only person in the entire administration that actually gives a shit about the American people. Problem is that he doesn't have enough brain left to not make things much worse.

That's no accident. A job is considered "unskilled" (or "unspecialized" as I like to call it) if any adult who's gone through the education system and is reasonably healthy can do. Since society would collapse without these jobs, we want to do everything we can to make sure we always have people who can do them. How do you make that happen? By designing the education system to teach everyone the skills to do them and making it mandatory to complete your schooling. As a result, nearly everyone is capable of doing some of the most important jobs for our society.
