When RadioShack was still a thing. I was in a band that used in ear monitors. I bought a pair of decent earbuds there for $25 with a $5 extra warranty, which states I’d have to pay $5 for a replacement. Between jumping on stage, forgetting they were plugged in or just plain blowing them out, I went thru 6 pairs jn 3 years, each time paying 10$ (5 for the replacement and 5 for the warranty)

When my grandma passed away, we had to sell the family farm that had been in the family since the 1930s. While mounting the massive undertaking of cleaning out 100 years of stuff from 2 houses and 3 barns, I stumbled upon 2 old wooden cheese boxes being used to store screws from a brand called Blue Ribbon Cheese. I googled it and that was how Pabst Blue Ribbon survived prohibition. One sits in my sock drawer with a few pocket knives for me to choose from each morning.

I don’t use it daily, but I also have a 3 foot long homemade level with my great grandfather’s initials carved in it. He died in the 1950s but it could be older than that.

I know new cars depreciate fairly quickly across the board. Does anyone know what the average is?

Correct me if I’m wrong but I didn’t think the TV series had started shooting yet, they just signed a deal. (If I’m wrong I’m gonna have to suck it up and get Apple TV because the entire series is phenomenal and I’m looking forward to it)

They already do with sales tax. ( If the tax works out to a fraction of a cent, almost every register or POS system will round up…it’s a tiny amount per transaction, but it does happen and adds up over daily, weekly and monthly transactions)

Yes, where everyone gives duct tape and the traditional holiday greeting is “keep your stick on the ice.”
