For most purchases, people really only have vanishingly few choices of companies to buy from. A truly free market might work, but the profit motives that have corrupted our political, legal and regulatory systems has made most markets into oligopolies. These companies work together to manipulate prices, without ever directly communicating in a way that can be punished.
For a free market to really drive prices down there needs to be real competition. When eggs went up in price, they allegedly did so because of avian flu. But that flu only affected a small amount of the production. Cal-Maine, the largest egg producer in the country, lost no egg production at all. Yet they increased their prices massively. If the market was working as you say it does, Cal-Maine would have kept their prices low to capture more market share. Instead they saw that other producer might have to raise prices and preemptively raised their prices.
I wouldn’t say I am ashamed, but I cannot believe I liked Insane Clown Posse and thought it was legitimately good music.
If you’re going to try Authelia and a reverse proxy, I recommend using SWAG. It’s a docker container that includes Authelia, nginx, fail2ban, geoip restrictions, and has premade config files for most of the selfhosted software that people run. The config files are especially useful since they include comments that describe the settings you need to change within the services you run, like changing the external domain in Emby for example.
No catch that I know of. I use it for subscription services constantly. I don’t even bother to try to cancel them anymore, I just set the card to $1 all-time and forget about it.
More expensive doesn’t always mean quality, though. I’ve had $100 sneakers that fell apart quick.
I did a few meal kits subscriptions a while back when I got coupons that made them very cheap/free(can’t remember). Did them in my name and then my wife’s name, too. One was called Home Chef, I can’t find where I got the coupon, though.
Privacy.com makes doing that so much easier. It allows you to create debit card numbers that have spending limits, and can be shut off. You can sign up for subscription plans and not have to worry about these companies making it insanely hard to cancel.
A way to jump to the next comment within a level. Infinity had a big button to jump to the next top level comment, and the reddit web page you can click on the colored bar that aligns the comment levels to jump to the next comment.
If when you run a fingernail over it, if your nail catches in the scratch, the scratch is very likely too deep to fix with paint correction(like buffing/polishing).
A proper fix will require prep, painting and blending, which you shouldn’t try to do yourself. You could buy a touch up stick that matches your paint to cover the scratch. It won’t look perfect and won’t last forever without clear coat on top, but it will prevent rust.
Before you decide how you’ll deal with this, you can bring it to a body shop for an estimate, most shops will do that for free. Most shops can give you an estimate from photos emailed or submitted to their websites.
