I’d guess it depends on the chain. I know of one retailer where a store pickup would count as an in-store sale, which gave revenue to that particular store. This applied even if the in-store pickup required the item to be shipped to the store first

That looks useful, thanks for sharing

This looks really nice, I’ll star it so I remember to download it later

Travel agents are still widely used by small and medium sized businesses. It’s much faster to say “Get these two people to London for these days” in an email instead of manually looking for flight tickets and hotels.

But I haven’t heard of anyone using them for private trips in a long time.

Some password hashing functions have a maximum input length. That could be a reason for some of the requirements. E.g. if I remember correctly, bcrypt used a maximum of 60 characters, while still being an ok choice for a hashing function

I’ve used Mint since I started using Linux, and never had any major issues. I’ve therefore just stuck with it.
