Costco Travel login page never loads for me in Firefox. Specific sites my kids use for school don’t work either. I wouldn’t say it happens regularly, but often enough to be annoying.

Look into the current grocery monopoly in the making. Kroger is attempting to purchase Albertsons/Safeway.

I was pushed upselling offers no fewer than ten times over the two evenings I spent in their service prepping my taxes last week. It was infuriating. I’m going to try the IRS’s pilot program next year assuming it’s still available for the 2024 tax season.

Account deleted. I’d love to see the exodus data trends from this decision.

First sodium-ion battery powered cars. Different tech.

You get an achievement for getting 1st. You can keep defending and stay at Diamond level if you care but there’s not really an incentive to do so unless you want the gems/Lingots for 1st, 2nd, or 3rd.

There is also a Diamond Tournament but I’m on Android and don’t have access to that yet.
