This comment is not only rude but also inaccurate regarding basic geography.

On the topic of price the item in question shows as been between $8.50 - $11.50 depending on store in the first zip that instacart loaded (94105). Checking another zip (07081) it's between $7.50 - $11.50. As a result $9.95 does not seem outside normal parameters for this item.

The US item is also materially smaller than the UK version. Even if they was the same volume, at $4.29 this is still a considerable increase in cost compared to the UK price.

I did not pay. It was more what was observed at multiple stores, chains and locations.

As someone not from the US can anyone shed some light why deodorant and other personal care goods are so expensive in the US? The prices are so ludicrous compared to the UK that on my trip I had to take a photo as friends would have thought I was exaggerating when telling them!

Take for example Dove Men+Care antiperspirant. In the US what is a rather compact can 3.8oz/107g was on the shelf at $9.55 (plus sales tax). I've just checked a well known UK chemist (boots) and 150ml of the same brand is £1.70 and 250ml is £2.00 (both including sales tax). Not really sure why the US measure aerosols in g and the UK measures them in ml but the price difference alone is jaw dropping.

Clearly the impact to a visa holders (especially new ones) is high. I would be curious if this something that can be insured against? Either as an employer to provide certainly in an uncertain jobs market, or as an employee about to relocate.

With Eurotunnel Shuttle services you drive on with a road vehicle, remain with the vehicle for the transit and then drive off at the other terminal. Europorte runs freight operations through the tunnel. Finally Eurostar is the pure passenger service running the likes of London to Paris.

Motorail operated in the UK 1966 to 1995.

"I still sit for hours in Visio & Powerpoint to painstakingly drag boxes and lines around to describe systems."

I much prefer to skip the painstaking messing with Visio and instead use tools like https://www.websequencediagrams.com

Simple to update and no faffing around with formatting.

I normally then do a screen/audio recording whilst talking about the diagram. These have received very positive feedback from developers and non-developers.

So I spotted the same problem on 6th May 2016 and sent a PR (which was merged) to update the description shown in VS Code to "Detect mistakes as you type and suggest fixes using a web service"

PR https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-spell-check/pull/30

But it seems this was reverted in a more recent commit.
