That seems bizarre based on the prices I see, maybe they are intentionally undercutting the others locally in your area specifically. Whole Foods was by far the cheapest place to buy eggs earliest this year and were obviously using them as a loss leader (we're talking less than half the price of standard grocery stores in the same area).

I used it during the worst of covid, especially because where I lived had multiple accounts of people being assaulted for wearing a mask. I had no desire to have to fight some disease spreading moron just so I could get groceries.

I only go to Whole Foods for a few specific stuff items that I can't get elsewhere due to food allergies. There is no way they are the cheapest place to get groceries.

On the dry beans vs canned beans issue, I am firmly in the "it depends" camp. If you don't plan your meals ahead of time, then dry beans become difficult to cook as you need to soak them overnight and take much longer to cook. The price of dry beans can be significantly cheaper, but strangely, not so much at a normal grocery store. I found that buying dried beans in bulk or in large bags is wildly cheaper, but most standard grocery stores (in the US) don't offer them like that so your savings are minimal and don't justify the the extra prep to me.

So, what happens when someone that doesn't have social media accounts applies for a visa? I assume they just won't believe such a thing and deny the visa since you can't prove a negative. Would it make sense for such people to make a social media account and just not use it? This is ridiculous.

I can't conceive of a better answer than this.

The crossing guard did this at my kids' school and the kids all loved him for it. They got rid of him for yelling at a driver that didn't stop and barely missed hitting a kid.

I agree with you fully, sadly. I still buy a portion of my games on gog, especially during their seasonal sales, but more "just in case Steam dies" and to give financial support to gog so that they can stick around and keep doing what they are doing. Hopefully they (or a third party like Lutris or Heroic) will eventually get playing gog games on par with Steam.

It isn't as seamless as Steam, but using Lutris or Heroic are the way to go if the games doesn't have a native Linux version available on gog

I saw that Brother completely refuted these claims, but obviously there is always a chance that they will go to the dark side.

Strangely, this has never been the case for me (printers, not audio which obviously has sucked in the past). Also if you get a printer that is networked, it generally just works these days, better than my Windows experience.

Xennial here, get a Brother laser printer if you can. The "starter toner" lasted me for like 4 years so far and is only now getting low. I can't imagine going back to an inkjet that would always dry up since I used infrequently, but I still needed it.
