I've seen that a lot on Amazon, even on other products. Sometimes just changing the color or the size changes the price. I think usually that's because whoever the cheapest seller of those things is, is out of stock on that variant of the product and you're getting a different seller's price.

All this change achieves is to undermine the CDC as a legitimate healthcare authority. Doctors won't magically stop vaccinating children; they'll follow some other organization's guidelines. Perhaps the American Medical Association could step up if we insist on the authority being American.

junk mail is actually what makes the most money for the USPS. it pays for itself and then some. it's cheap to deliver because it comes pre-sorted from the sender.
the $30 is to make sure everyone in the country can send and receive mail. yeah, I'll pay that.

Nonviolent resistance can work when it is backed by a credible threat of imminent violent resistance supposing the opposition rejects the nonviolent path. We don't have that credible threat... yet.

My wife made cookies to send out to friends and family for Thanksgiving. Two varieties were cornbread-based: one honey cornbread, the other a savory elote. One sweet, one not. Both went over well with the recipients.

Wait. I understand why it shows the image flipped while you're taking a selfie, but are you telling me it saves the final photo that way, too? That's... dumb. Everything in the shot's going to come out backward!

people were spilling their innermost secrets to ELIZA in the '60s, and it was a lot less sophisticated than today's LLMs. this should have been easily foreseen.

Pro tip: when meeting an author, particularly one noted for clever prose, remember that they might have had months or eve years to come up with their best lines. Speaking extemporaneously, they're not likely to be any more articulate than you or me. Some are, but they're the exception, not the rule.

Y'know, there was a movie called "All Is Lost" starring Robert Redford. Spoiler: after struggling against setback after setback, he was rescued. All was not, in fact, lost.
The original Goethe quote is, "if courage is lost, all is lost." (Except in German, of course.) So have courage.

Those people are ignorant of history. TOS fandom was heavily female. The first fanzines and the first Trek-only convention were organized by women, and a woman organized the letter campaign that got Trek its third season. If anything, men eschewed iTrek because it wasn't "real" science fiction.
