It's more than a year since we've bought from Amazon. Today I checked their price for the weird narrow bin liners for our weird narrow trash can, after I had ordered from the manufacturer. (Ok, probably not the actual manufacturer, but the brand)
The top results from Amazon:
They offered the gigantic pack (would last my household at least three years) for... $1 less.
They offered a lower price... for a pack with fewer pieces than the brand sells direct, and at a higher per-unit price than the brand's smallest pack.
Below the top results: the pack size I actually wanted to buy, Amazon offered for the same price as the brand did.
(All this includes shipping.)
So: if you are hesitating about leaving Amazon because of affordability, don't assume that A is for sure cheaper.

Is Open Policy Finder working for others? I've searched for several journals, with names and ISSNs, and I'm getting no results

Wow
You have probably heard of Shah Alam, the disabled refugee who died after the Border Patrol released him at a coffee shop without telling his lawyer or family?
The Buffalo police officer who closed the missing person case while Shah Alam was missing is this guy:

Hitting a motorcyclist with his car, on purpose? How on earth is he still a police officer?

Buy an instant-read thermometer to keep at work, to confirm that food I defrost/reheat in the microwave is actually heated enough that it is safe to eat

RE: @nyhan@fediscience.org

I'm still thinking about this.

Kudos to the uncredited author for knowing that the LLMs don't have access to the full text of all articles

Negative kudos for acting like the abstracts contain all the info needed by students/scientists/physicians

Hi #COVIDIsNotOver buddies Today I stopped in to the bakery with my respirator. Some lady I've never seen before passed by the counter (unmasked) and said, "nice mask." At first I thought she was being sarcastic. But I wasn't sure, so I said, "Thank you! It's my favorite make, very comfortable. Here's a new one you can use!" (because I always keep extras in my purse). And then she offered me a free cookie and told me all about her new grandchild (her daughter-in-law asks the grandparents to mask with the baby) ❤️
