Fancy lattes and frappuccinos were < $3 in the 00s. Maybe they're adjusting for inflation?

Anyway, I don't understand the fascination of car washes by users, either.

Gross. We've gotten 4-5 new ones in our area in the last year.

This Starbucks mention is way off base for the 90s, though:

“One came to town, and people said, ‘$5 for a coffee, surely nobody will buy more than one cup a day.’

It was still $1 for the longest time, maybe $2 by 2020.

My deductible is so high it doesn't qualify for an HSA. Such a stupid limit, and even dumber that marketplace plans are such crap that you can't have an HSA with them.

I read this as you can't trust something built with old data to be up-to-date, especially if it's not buying the trusted data.

Systems still need to be able to update their source data from time-to-time.

I agree you can afford to pay for it if you need it.

New construction also falls into this

We like to think so, but if this was the case then Google maps wouldn't offer the feature to report an incorrect address. (Maps is based on street address + City + State, no postal c code even though it shows you one after search)

Your data set may be out of date, too.

A friend showed me a spoofed "chat/g/p/t wrapped" results, and it said the user's "cognitive ability dropped by 19 years" lol

More of this will happen as they tear apart the USPS.

(Though these examples are from earlier.)

There are some zip codes that service other city names.

Like Allentown can also be Wescosville for 18106.

Some zip codes service other states, so your mailing address could be in NH but for sales tax, they need to collect for ME.

And they usually default the current year as your birthday...
