It’s actually a US regulation which goes into effect on May 10th. Most other booking sites should be following suit with something similar over the next few weeks.

It’s because FTC regulations requiring fee-inclusive pricing go into effect on May 10th. Everyone dealing with short term rentals and hotels in the US will be updating to this over the next few weeks.

This time next week, it’ll probably be at 420.69% to get Musk on board

A separate entrance is more then just a door:

To build out the Canadian entrance, the Haskell has to create a parking lot with reduced mobility spots, install reduced mobility access ramps and entrances, and build another proper building entrance to the facility.

Looks like their GoFundMe has a good response so far, already receiving over the expected $100k needed.

They use air pockets but they are of the stiffer variety that are fitted around each drive, not the super cheap and thin air pockets that just get jammed in to fill the box.

I usually wipe them down with a wet wipe if they start getting streaky. They also tuck in pretty well when not in use and I’m pretty diligent clearing off my windshield in the winter so nothing really gets stuck underneath them to deform.

I’m also parked in the shade, so very little sun exposure to cause dry rot.

 

OEM blades lasted over 6 years, only needing an occasional wipe down getting them working well again but not anymore. Saved $25 getting replacements from Costco rather than a new OEM pair.

If I remember correctly, it comes from measuring volume coming to/from large bodies of water where surface area (acres) and depth changes (feet) are easier to measure and there is little reason to do unnecessary conversion to other, more common, units of volume for industry-specific purposes, especially if others outside the industry rarely see or care about such values.

The board is pushing against it and I’d doubt they’d move counter Apple leadership in this instance. While I don’t like the sucking up to Trump and the effective bribery of inauguration donations, outrage for this specific instance should be placed on the conservative group driving a shareholder vote rather then leadership that seems to be against it.

Pulling the ladder up behind him.

This isn’t coming from Tim Cook or people internally at Apple but a conservative group, I’m assuming activist investors, trying to reverse DEI programs via shareholder vote.

I’ve been gorging myself on satsuma mandarins, super juicy and sweet.

I’ve been using Hardcover. Still very much a WIP and community is still pretty small but it seems very promising with a public api and ambitions to open source.

America has thousands of tax jurisdictions, every state, county, city/town can impose their own set of taxes. For the longest time, online shopping was effectively tax-free shopping unless you happened to be based in the same state as the seller. That is largely not the case anymore though as various states passed legislation to enforce tax collections on online sales rather than trust the consumer to volunteer that info when it’s time to fill out tax forms.
