I lived in a new building on SW waterfront and it was pretty great. Almost moved into a different building until I found out the neighboring construction was digging up contaminated soil that was making people in the building sick from the chemical fumes. Do your diligence, and meet your potential neighbors.

I’ve never not seen the unit I planned on renting.

I haven’t bought their comforters, but I’ve been bought sheets and pillows from them for decades. Thick and silky are exactly what impressed me so much about their sheet sets. Just consistent quality and really durable sheets. The damask striped sets feel a little thinner than the solid prints.

I'd be twice as pissed if they called me in on my day off to take care of Biden.

There's no bigger oil/gas cartel than the US Government.

All the people participating would argue the platform is the value. So in business, Twitter provides utility value, in that the technology is capable of providing services to the customer, as well as network value, in that the number of customers participating in those services provide a unique value to the customers.
The customers provide neither of these values to the service.

One thing this chat isn’t looking at?
Would Twitter still be collecting 90% of the advertising revenue, if 10% of the people were paying for their subscription. Or even better, would they still be collecting 100% of the revenue, with non-subscribing users just seeing 10% more advertising.

Gas doesn’t get more expensive because of inflation. Gas getting more expensive is the cause of inflation.

That’s why when they used to do beheadings, they would pick up the decapitated head and hold it up, so it could see the crowd cheering for their death.
