Pre-COVID, Staples used to sell reams of photocopy paper at some ridiculous loss leader price of 1¢ per 200-sheet pack around around school resupply time. Not seeing anything like that anymore since COVID hit.

@Horace said in My wife...: @jon-nyc said in My wife...: @Axtremus said in My wife...: What restaurants would you cite as bona fide examples of “5-star fine dining restaurants”? Per Se in New York. French Laundry in Napa. I wanted to make it there at some point and even put myself on a waitlist for reservations, but I never tried hard enough to get in. I ate there 20 years ago, and at per se when it opened. I doubt I’d get in either now.

@Jolly If it's even still available, what Mik recommended is all he really needs. I haven't used anything except the Microsoft security apps that are built-in to Windows 10 for many years now. I was done having the other products slow my machine down and getting zero benefit from it.

@mark said in We're in business.: @Aqua-Letifer Very cool! How did it sound? Like all the others: a lot better than Spotify. But, I also don't have a 5-speaker surround sound system, so unfortunately it can't achieve its true potential.

@Copper said in Car parked for two months in front of my home...: @Horace said in Car parked for two months in front of my home...: I tried my best to pretend to be nice, instead. If you were really trying you would have given the car a nice wash and wax. I did have to clear some space in the dead leaves, to make room for the note under the wipers.

I hope he is wearing some spf, you could really get burned exposed like that.

It's not that I expect kids to not do this sort of thing ever, it's that I expect cops to use force to control this sort of behavior. But we're at a point where cops can't easily do so, without risking social backlash that could destroy their lives.

@Jolly said in US Troops in Poland: Pukin' chickens to the rescue! There are probably 2 people on this forum who understand that reference. Maybe 3.

@Mik said in Whisper: The Democrats just can't seem to let go of their geriatric leadership. It’s all about maintaining appeal to the middle. The middle wants no part of the ideological mainstream younger leftists. But that is the long term plan. The older middle just need to die off, replaced by more indoctrinated sorts.

That’s a lot more than 8.2%…

The last time I went into a Taco Bell was circa '98. Mike Collins and I had to drive over an hour at the asscrack of dawn to take the SATs. When we got done, we went to a Taco Bell. There was freaking hair in my burrito. I pointed this out, and they made another one, then threw it at me. Dumbshit missed, too. My wife's a fan occasionally but I refuse to lift the embargo.

@Jolly said in His next ex-wife?: And they will be. For awhile. Yup. There's a shelf life for that sort of thing.

I think it was the History Channel that had a series called WWII in color. Rather than "colorizing" the B&W film, they sought out actual color footage from WWII. As @Klaus says, it really changes the way you see things. Link to video

Very cool. The amount of time to make this is a lot!!!

$100 Million is a drop in the bucket compared to E&Y's $40 Billion annual revenue. These fines need to be a percentage of a firm's revenue rather than an absolute number.
