  • I remember borrowing CDs from friends and converting them to MP3s in the mid-late 90s. Admittedly I didn't really know what I was doing, so I couldn't really explain it to my friends, but ripping CDs with Windows CLI programs and amassing a huge (for the time) digital music collection was something I thought was super cool. Unlike wav files, I could actually (not always) fit a whole song on a floppy disc!

  • Find a hobby that would use the product type in question. Find a community for said hobby then look for discussions comparing the options that are out there.

    This tends to work better for certain things more than others. I doubt many hobby groups get excited about dishwashers or clothing dryers. I'm these cases, the Buy it For Life communities tend to have decent comparisons.

  • I wander. I can walk to a Boston subway stop in about 35 minutes. I often just hop on a train and get off at a random stop and just explore.

    I'm literally on a train right now for this very purpose.

  • My personal experience: Trying to find a restaurant that has vegan friendly options isn't always easy, and used to be much harder. That would make trying to find somewhere to eat as a group much more tedious if someone was vegan. I don't think anyone had issue with the person being a vegan, I think they just didn't like eating at the same two restaurants over and over.

  • Personally I think it's mostly nostalgia for me at this point. I liked them as a kid because we didn't get candy too often, and I could make these last a long time. I'd usually split each disc int 4 peices and just suck on each quarter until it was gone before eating the next one.

  • I would expect it to also be less expensive but they don't show us that information.

    I personally wouldn't mind if my fuel mileage goes down if the cost is also proportionally lower.

    Also, ethanol has a energy density of roughly 2/3 that of gasoline, so yes e85 would have 5% less energy than gasoline with no ethanol, not e10, which is what I see as the listed price in most places. When doing a price comparison, it should be against e0, not e10 if you are expecting a 5% energy difference.
