The bank takes the cut anyway, it is by and large offloaded to the vendors. The bank takes a nominal “service fee” that I generally “get back” many times over in creditcard cashbacks etc, plus it ensures my purchase. Hard to actually see the benefit of using cash only.

Yea, the thought was that if you actually went the distance to create a good handwritten sheet, you have probably learned enough for at least a passing grade, so you can take that out instead of getting caught and failing.

Our history teacher would give anyone who submitted a good cheatsheet (meaning good info, small form factor) for the test beforehand an automatic pass (but no higher than a passing grade), though you can’t take the test for a higher grade.

well it ain’t no PG TIPS but it will make a gallon of oddly flavored water

Almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea.

Wouldn’t the price go up irrespective of which side you tax it on? Obviously if this is a megacorp, they could spread it out over unrelated products, but in the end its not like theyll roll over, take the corporate tax and leave the product at the old price. Is it being a poor tax even that bad of a thing? This is not a necessity and poor people are generally going to be the ones that suffer from poor diet / lifestyle choices in very big part due to the price/calorie aspect of junkfood et al. Lets be real, if you buy a bar once a week, 1.29->3.29 is not a big deal.

Also, we do have tax on sugarry soft drinks in the EU (atleast my country), it is just laughably small compared to EtOH and tobacco). I personally always have thought that anything with added sugar beyond a certain amount should get a heavy tax, conditional on this tax being funneled into healthcare / public health programs.

I dont care about the jack, the lightning-3.5 for 10bucks is more than a-ok, that said fuck bluetooth headphones, apart from the “smart” features, sub 50$ cans can and will blow the audio quality out of the water for many of the “entry level” (quotes cause entry is still approaching 100 bucks) BT ones and when you match price it is no-contest.

That said BT cans are still fine but after dabbling with hi-fi I can’t go back to BT.
