The pipeline was to connect Russia with Germany.

Just in case someone else is confused. I had to look it up.

I thought Philip DeFranco was independent? Wikipedia shows Rogue Rocket for his show?

After searching: The Roost is a podcast company but the page for Night lists them as acquiring the show. Podcast and YouTube show with the same name?

I would be trying to encourage chanting of pedophile.

None of the online places even accepted my prescription last time I looked. Mine are about $800 for the lenses during a sale. They generally give me the frames for free when they see the cost of the lenses.

Insurance covers $200 every 2 years.

I miss when they had good hardware for a reasonable price. Some of my cheap original Logitech laser mice are still going, almost 2 decades later. Obviously not super heavy use as the switches have not worn out, but they've been shifted about the house as other mice break. So certainly not 0 use either.

The tasks have been things like our old media centre mouse died, the old Logi mouse "temporarily" replaced it until we replaced the media centre. It's not been unused any longer than a few months at a time.

We tried buying some recently but the new ones are all optical so they had shit performance and died after maybe 3 months of light use.

Bit torn. This would be amazing when I'm a bit deaf (screw you pollen season). But where is this being transcribed? I strongly suspect that even if it's done phone side Google will send a recording and the text output to home base for "training" purposes.

I have some friends that are into cyclocross, 10K is a very nice bike but certainly not top of the line. High quality beginners is usually ~5K mark, but most start with a road or mountain bike for ~1K. With the electric components I was mentally budgeting at least 5K before I looked so I could get at least one or two upgrades.

I was not expecting all the e-cargo bikes to start at ~10K. That is insane. I can't even find a place that rents them so I can get a feel for them. As a car replacement the price makes sense. The high entry cost for beginners/testing is a shock.

I was amazed at the price but a quick search shows that's the standard price for an e-cargo bike here. I don't understand the emphasis on price.

Thanks for the correction! The site I was using was a site for English speakers considering moving to Turkey. It was difficult to verify with my lacking language skills.

The 850₺ was the average cost I could find while poking about restaurant listing in Istanbul so I was likely getting touristy places. It was very difficult to find a place with prices on their recent menu photos or websites as well. I suspect the places I was finding were more upscale/touristy than local.

The images of menus from ~3 years ago have prices that line up with the average monthly wages. The recent photos of menus have the prices blanked out.

The "new" price of ~850 TRY for a single serving is over 25% of the average monthly wages (2900-3200). The site providing wages doesn't specify if that's the average earnings before or after tax either. Prices on older menus are more like ~50 TRY for the same item.
