If you're paying that much for black coffee, I have some $111/kg sugar if you want to sweeten it up.jfish26 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 27, 2019 2:16 pmI will say - I am not a fancy coffee-based- or coffee-adjacent-drink person, but it's unquestionable that $4.60 for a Grande Whipped Hazelnut Somethingorother is a much better value than $3.80 for black coffee.CrimsonNBlue wrote: ↑Wed Nov 27, 2019 1:56 pm To revive thread--
It's funny how it seems that coffee is either free or $5.

You can get a 10lb bag at Costco for under $5! Depending on how much you go through it might be worth just buying and eating (pun unintended) the expense. What you’re paying for when you buy from SA is the certification and traceability of the materialPhDhawk wrote: ↑Wed Nov 27, 2019 1:31 pm Molecular Biological Research.
I mean, I get it, a specific piece of highly engineered equipment is going to be expensive like a fluorescent microscope, especially since it's not produced in high volume. I get why that's expensive, it's other shit.
Sigma Aldrich is the company I buy most chemicals from. If I want to buy sucrose from them, it's $111 for 1 kg (which is 2.2 lbs). Sucrose is table sugar, which you can buy from a store for about $1.50/lb. But depending on the grant, going to the supermarket to get something can force you to jump through a bunch of hoops, etc. whereas purchasing from an approved vendor (simga) couldn't be easier.

hell yea it's overpriced. The only thing I spend more on on an annual basis is rent. Except I actually use my apartment regularly. Insurance is literally just as much, and it's not even for a product or service I actively use. It's just in case.
and again, if I do use it, it's not like I've paid it forward. That's even more out of pocket -- and all assuming insurance doesn't try to wiggle their way out of covering it.

I can't tell whether I want an 11+, or can settle for XS Max, which is almost $300 cheaper.
I DO want the biggest screen possible, because what matters to me is reading.
I DO NOT care to spend an extra $300 for a slightly better camera.
Is the marginally-better processing power worth the $300?

How 'bout how porn is, unless you WANT to pay for it, essentially free.
