I found a stat about how much coffee shops make on drip coffee and it blew my mind

I was looking at a report from a small business group in Seattle last week. It said a standard $3 cup of drip coffee costs the shop about 25 cents to make. That's a huge markup I never thought about. It made me realize my daily coffee run is a real budget leak. Has anyone else cut back on something simple after seeing the numbers?

My friend in Lisbon swore that a $15/month local SIM was better than my global plan, and after my eSIM failed in Split, I had to admit she was right.

Got stuck in Prague with the same issue. I always buy a local SIM card now, even for short trips. The ones at the airport kiosks are overpriced. Just go to a mall or a phone store in the city center. You can get a month of data for about ten bucks.

Serious question, does anyone still use a Palm Pilot?

Found my old Tungsten T2 in a drawer last year and had the same shock lol. Getting them to sync is a huge pain, you basically need to find an old Windows XP machine. The batteries in these things last forever though.
