> unlike at a conventional grocery store, nothing is sold by weight

Costco and TJs both sell items like meat by weight, they're just pre-labeled so they can be scanned rather than weighed at the register. Things like produce that might be weighed elsewhere are sold by each or container though.

Cool, they probably changed it, this was years ago. I've had similar issues with other companies, REI is just the only one I can I really recall right now.

I've had some reject my e-mail address because it contains their company name. REI was one (ie it wouldn't allow [email protected] but would accept [email protected])

You can proxy responses with a ton of e-mail clients, even Gmail supports it once you verify you can get a message sent to that address.

That fact here was if Musk should have known about the potential breach of charitable trust before 2021 given it started in 2019, if not before, with Microsoft investment and he didn't sue until 2024. There is a 3 year statute of limitations.

Much of those billions of dollars are contractually limited in how they can use both the principal and gains so it's really not that simple.

I think so.

Stuff like USDA Prime meats are substantially cheaper and same quality as anywhere else. I smoke a lot of meats though.

Organic produce is super cheap. Especially stuff like pre-cut broccoli, lettuce mixes, etc.

Protein powders, crackers, chips, organic yogurt, organic milk, organic eggs, cheese, prosciutto, etc.

Also liquor including decent beer and wine selection.

I get all this stuff, mid to high quality compared to Whole Foods or whatever grocery store. Sure, I could buy higher quality organic meats directly from the farmer over USDA Prime at Costco or more sustainable seafood and what not, but it would easily cost 3-5x.

I don't buy it alot, but people love the bakery - croissants, pies, cakes, etc. and they're high quality, comparable to most local bakeries.

I hate going there and mostly use Instacart to avoid having to, but even with a Instacart mark-up and tip it's cheaper and higher quality than most other options, happy to pay someone else to do my shopping.

That only happens when you have your own data center. That's a whole different issue and most people with their own hardware don't have their own data centers as it's not particularly cost efficient except at incredibly large scale.

I have 3 different banks (well 2 banks and a credit union.) I can use Zelle in my browser from all 3. I don't even have the app installed for 2 of them.
