price discrimination

So we took a family vacation recently and we had to drive halfway across America and what creeped me the fuck out was how we were getting such different prices on different phones while looking at the same hotel room on Priceline. For example I would look for a hotel in Chicago and find a room for a $180, then my cousin is also...

So many things are variable or negotiable, like cars, insurance, car rentals, furniture, mattresses, and houses. I feel like most people get the standard deal but they throw a few people a bone maybe to get good reviews or because the rep likes them.

I think sometimes Karens get a good deal by throwing a fit but you can also just ask, “That’s more that I was wanting to spend, can you do $x?” Doesn’t hurt to ask.

Yeah it might not be right, but it’s reality.

dan1101 ,

What about legitimate salvage?

A ship that has been on the bottom of the ocean for 450 years. France had plenty of time to claim it.

I did this on Kingdom Come Deliverance on EA/Origin and the beginning of the game was messed up, the plot made no sense and I realized I had missed a whole section. Maybe they have worked out the bugs by now.

While I sympathize with the workers wanting more money, I’m not looking forward to new vehicles being more unattainable than they already are.

dan1101 ,

I expect so, but most corporations aren’t going to roll back and make less money than they do now. I read that the UAW workers want to make $100,000 a year after 4 years on the job. I don’t see how that can make vehicles any more affordable.

Meta, they have a huge reach to a lot of ignorant people and they seem actively disdainful of user privacy.

Man who has recently and needlessly killed almost 20,000 civilians is concerned about civilian deaths? Doubt.

dan1101 ,

Doesn’t seem to affect data, just incorrect reporting of encryption status.

Designing Women, Golden Girls, Cougar Town.

I get annoyed by that guy, I guess the joke is he is needlessly cruel to the son-in-law but it gets old. Don’t let that put you off the show though, that is 1% of an otherwise excellent show.

dan1101 ,

Derry Girls is excellent. It’s part sitcom, part Irish culture, part history lesson. Great characters.

dan1101 ,

She is hilarious and probably my favorite character. She and the priest from Derry Girls are on another show playing very different characters.

dan1101 ,

Do they allow audiences or something?

dan1101 ,

Jehovah’s Witnesses too.

dan1101 ,

Yeah my best friend was JW and it messed him up a bit. He got out of the church as soon as he could manage. I don’t think it was terribly abusive or anything and there were some nice people in their church, but they were strict on the rules and shunning. His parents did sidestep the no Christmas/birthday restriction by celebrating their wedding anniversary and giving the kids presents on that occasion.

dan1101 ,

The rich neighbor also controls the water, food, and power going into that strip of land, and use that as leverage against the people who actually live there.

Well that seems like an opportunity for improvement. Disconnect Israeli power, food, and water supplies and connect Palestinian power, food, and water. Would be a good use of humanitarian funds.

dan1101 ,

That’s one of the things I like about digital storage, things don’t change or degrade.

dan1101 ,

Your bones are in the dark, and wet. All the time.

dan1101 ,

Yes, and theaters like Alamo will serve you food and have zero tolerance for talking and phones during the movie.

dan1101 ,

No I’m sure we will all get a tax break this year from the windfall our government has secured for us.

dan1101 ,

It’s not a big deal but add up the billions of times people needed to plug a USB 3 times instead of one and that’s a lot of wasted hours.

dan1101 ,

Logistically it seems intriguing. But more than that I shudder to think what plastic surgery could do if people were motivated enough.

dan1101 ,

How much of that is Windows update processes?

dan1101 ,

Apparently self.events.data.microsoft.com has something to do with Office 365 apps; calendar, mail, etc.

dan1101 ,

I am 100% right, but since saying “sorry” is the only way you might shut up…

dan1101 ,

I love how billionaires are just allowed to fill the sky with stuff.

dan1101 ,

Follow the money, people are profiting from it. Likely elected officials who are also developers or working with developers.

dan1101 ,

That’s a good video lol.

Many have probably already seen this, but when I think of impressive music videos I think of “Biting Elbows - Bad Motherfucker”

dan1101 ,

That was so hilariously either ignorant or deceitful when they said that.

dan1101 ,

It’s a lot to expect teachers to deal with all the student and administration crap while sober.

dan1101 ,

Time is what keeps everything from happening at once.

dan1101 ,

It can feel like it. And there can be more than one. There is just a strong chemistry between some people, not sure if it’s pheromones or some intangible factor but it’s there.

But times and people change, might not last forever. Enjoy it while it lasts, be kind to each other and don’t take the relationship for granted.

Why is there metal shrapnel in airbags?

dan1101 ,

You have to pay to get out? Never knew that.

dan1101 ,

Despicable piece of human excrement.

dan1101 ,

Congress controls the budget and whoever is president signs it into law. I would still think there is something Biden could do but it might take cooperation of Congress

dan1101 ,

Can’t haul stuff in Google or Meta.

dan1101 ,

Everyone responsible should face justice as war criminals.

Is that a car or a shopping cart?

America's nonreligious are a growing, diverse phenomenon. They really don't like organized religion (apnews.com)

Mike Dulak grew up Catholic in Southern California, but by his teen years, he began skipping Mass and driving straight to the shore to play guitar, watch the waves and enjoy the beauty of the morning. “And it felt more spiritual than any time I set foot in a church,” he recalled....

dan1101 ,

You’re outta your element Donnie!

dan1101 ,

He posted a lot of commentary too apparently. Probably got caught up in the large audience the case was attracting.

dan1101 ,

Any rate above zero is devastating unless there is some very good reason to take a child from their parent.

dan1101 ,

I’m the last person I would have suspected, but I was looking for me all the time!

dan1101 ,

Two hard drives of the same size, one on site and one off site.

dan1101 ,

Thin scrollbars. Why do I have to aim for a tiny area to click on a scroll bar? Other UI elements aren’t that narrow.

dan1101 ,

Clicking and dragging on a scrollbar lets you rapidly scroll up or down. Or clicking like 3/4 of the way down takes you instantly there.
