Before I commented I didn't even check to see if their coffee was on that site's list and it is!! I'm super excited about all the quality decafs they offer. Thank you!

My local roaster's decaf is seriously the best I've ever had, swiss water method and really good beans. I do a half/half with their caffeinated blends and I love it. In the afternoon, I'll do just the decaf and it's really smooth and flavourful.

I was a heavy coffee drinker most of my life and had to stop cold turkey and did so for a month due to GI issues. Had a headache the first days, but was fine otherwise.

Now I just do half caf and have two cups a day and found a nice balance of not being too dependent on the caffeine.

More than the caffeine I love the taste of good coffee, so I can live with the reduced caffeine.

Not everyone has extreme withdrawal from stopping caffeine.

yeah but in this case they brought on these extra channels and are spinning it as "continuing to innovate". they didn't need to bring these additional channels on. without these channels like for the past year or so, wouldn't the price have remained the same?

Or are you saying that these channel additions were part of an agreement or condition that to continue to offer some of the existing channels they needed to take the additional channels and charge more?

I can't explain why I love this so much. And I never read traditional newspapers, so I'm not nostalgic.
Agreed

I'd take another look at Simple. I've been with them since the beginning and their recent enhancements are fantastic! Expenses tied to your pay schedule that automatically set money aside, same with goals. and then the big one for me was an interest bearing savings account, yielding 2%.

I'm still bitter about this. I loved the low resolution e-ink color display. It was good enough with great battery life, unique and easily readable in the sun. I wish more smartphone makers would use this.
I wonder how it compares to IBM Watson's Tone Analyzer:

I should add that I was an excellent candidate with plenty of corneal tissue and the procedure was using the latest equipment and techniques. The place I went to was reputable and turned a lot of people away because they were not good candidates. I wonder if any less reputable places are performing the procedure on higher risk people and this contributes to an increase in serious side effects?
Re:Lasik’s Risks Are Coming into Sharper Focus on Tuesday June 12, 2018 @12:12AM (#17290658)
had LASIK two years ago. dry eyes and starbursts quite a bit in the first 6 months, but the dryness is gone now and night time vision is good. I can live with very minor starbursts/halos at night that don't interfere with my vision vs having contacts or glasses. the procedure got me to 20/15 and I'm seeing more clarity than I ever did with glasses or contacts.

I was told about still requiring reading glasses when you hit a certain age because that's an entirely different condition and sometimes people confuse that with the procedure having failed them later.

Verizon still the fastest, my ISP, but switched to 1.1.1.1 for the perceived privacy benefit. The speed difference wouldn't be noticeable for me between Verizon, Google, Cloudflare.
