That is a steal! While they see it as a perplexing accident, the farmers market here sometimes sells these on purpose. They usually cost like twice as much as a typical head of cauliflower…

Luckily, I have still found my people. 🤘

Yup. One place I work dropped the pretense altogether and the DEI office merged with HR (where “merged with” = “was absorbed by”). After that, even nominal efforts to support historically marginalized people vanished.

Agreed. Especially if you obviously haven't used the service in a while. So many $15 monthly charges for that fateful time we said, "Oh, sure, let's do the free trial. We'll just cancel it before it renews." Fast forward a year and some $180 later...

Yes, gotta get on that lodging ASAP. I went the hotel route, and supply/demand is already inflating prices. Reserved my room a month ago for less than what official conference hotel rates. That same hotel is now listing rooms at a 50+% markup during AWP.
