These are objective facts as opposed to random ravings of lunatics. Remember that Fox News’ own lawyers claim that it’s not actually news but rather is entertainment only.

It was less about the .99 pricing and more about "Sale" pricing and 'coupons'. Retailers will put a pair of pants on "Sale" for 50% off 51 weeks out of the year and people think they're getting a great deal whereas when it's not half off, they just don't buy.

It seems that most McDonald’s are removing EVERYTHING from their lobbies. No more free refills on drinks, no ketchup or salt, even napkins are behind the counter now. Makes for a considerably more annoying visit, especially as they’re woefully understaffed, so you have to wait for someone to be bothered to get a couple napkins and ketchup while your kid screams at you.

"Letting"? How do you stop people from making plans?

I won’t even click links there anymore. No traffic if I can help it.

I’m thinking that would decrease the chance of problems.

I’m “that guy” in my neighborhood. Burgers ,beer and football are generally at my house. I invite neighbors to dinner all the time. Just this evening one of them texted a half dozen of us because their shredded cheese was moldy and they had a different set of friends coming for dinner. A neighbor i introduced to this newish neighbor walked a bag of cheese over to them.

Best part is that when everyone gets drunk, nobody has to drive. Or if I’m at a party at their house and need to poop, I can walk an extra 200 feet and use my own bathroom. I have keys to at least 4 of their houses.

Neighbor friends are the best.

This shut down isn’t about spending. It’s monkeys throwing poop. They don’t care who they hit, they just want attention.

The wife has a penchant for taking off her underwear and throwing them as hard as she can at me. They are light, so I don’t mind.

The fact that you get to loot and pillage notwithstanding.

I’m pretty much the target for this, I travel a lot for work and it’d be nice to have a place to “office” out of, but the competition here is:

1. Free - Even after checking out of my hotel, the lobby always has a corner or two to work in and decent wi-if. 1a) I have status at one chain and they’re always great about just letting me walk in to any of the chain and suck up some internet and plug in my laptop, even if I wasn’t staying there. Bonus is that they usually have coffee!

2. Free - my car. With tethering my phone to my laptop, I’ve done more calls than I care to admit by just finding a random shady place to park the car and get to work. 2a) The park (when it’s nice enough outside)

3. Free- Libraries - The public library system is great. Not a good place to take calls, but if you need a place with a chair and internet to do some work, it’s an option.

4. Free - Client’s offices. I have a good enough relationship with a number of clients that I can ask to take over an empty desk (one even has an empty office with a KILLER view of the city that they’re just fine with me taking over for a couple hours.

5. Cheap - Coffee shops. Buy a drink (bonus) and grab a seat for a bit. They’re super abundant and you can almost always find one close to your next meeting.

I’m certain that WeWork has its benefits, but competing with free is pretty hard.

I’ve loved his content for years now. He did say that he was just slowing down, not stopping and I fully support him prioritizing life.

Clearly we are all fans here, so I’ll ask what other channels people would recommend?

My top of head list includes: “Stuff Made Here” “CGPgrey” “AvE” “MinutePhysics”.
