Hi mcepl.

We thought at this time you may be interested in this special offer from our friends at Proctor and Gamble.

Where I live if you fall and injure yourself on an established hiking/climbing route, in season, you will be rescued for free (regular ambulance rides are free anyway).

If you climb or hike off track, out of season you might be charged for a helicopter ride or mountain rescue. As you can imagine it's not cheap.

McDonalds is especially egregious recently. Time was you could get a set for ¥500 (about 5 dollars) Then suddenly all the menu items went up to ¥700 - ¥900. That starts to get very very close to the alternatives which are much better. The only competitive edge they had was price really.

Today I learned that Reader's Digest is still an ongoing entity.

I love these wonderfully petty reactions to the Reddit issues.

Are there any other good examples out there for me to enjoy (I have already seen r/pics.)

I bought a leather belt in Prague as a nice souvenir. Stil wearing it almost daily over 20 years later. I replaced the stitching but the leather is still rock solid.

I am enjoying being able to observe this story from the beginning, before the media started writing about it. It's been an interesting few weeks.

I live in a city with excellent public transport and use it a lot, but a car is total freedom. You can go exactly where you want, and stop anywhere on the way. Even with great public transport you can't beat it.

I'm here from reddit. I remade my small sub here, but I do intend to continue to support our reddit users too (i am reducing my reddit interaction by about 90 percent though overall). I'm trying to encourage our community to jump ship with me, but we'll have to see how that goes.

I love this kind of justified pettiness. I am pretty petty myself, and its something that I guess is a supposed bad quality, but it can be so much fun.
