Gotta have the right tools for the job.

@George-K said in Self checkout increases theft: @jon-nyc said in Self checkout increases theft: I once did that accidentally which is what got me thinking about this. I always buy bananas, code 4011. One day the bananas were bright green so I I got organic bananas. Out of habit I keyed them in with 4011 rather than 94011 (organic is always 9 followed by the regular code). Lock him up. lol

Not enough privilege

The breakdown here is roughly 2/3 school tax, and 1/6 each to village and county. Some variation is due to where the line is drawn between state and local funding. Next door in CT, for example, the state funds municipal retirement expenses so local taxes only pay operating costs. Not so in NY.

@Doctor-Phibes said in How about a game of chess?: It reminds me of an old computer game from the dim and distant past - Battle Chess, but a lot cooler obviously. I remember one called Archon.

I'll stick to feeding the birds, thanks.

Thanks! We have a bunch but some are "expired" so it's good to refresh. That being said, we've had cold/coughs all season it seems (since start of Nov) and haven't taken a test once, 555

@Mik said in A legal question: I assume your company has a non solicitation clause in the non compete. You really don’t want to get in the middle of that. Yup. It's an adventure when an individual does that. When two companies go at it...

Amazing that he punched out WHILE ON THE GROUND. I imagine his flight suit is going to need a good, deep cleaning.

If one is good, zero is better. It is time to make some real progress.

LOL

@taiwan_girl said in 4 shot, 3 killed: That is just crazy. He definitely should never be out of prison for the rest of his life. (But I do think that spending your rest of life in prison is not a pleasant way to go through life) No, I think it more merciful to hang him with a slip knot.

@Copper said in Fade Away: She said the health system would save billions of dollars from not needing to treat illnesses caused by smoking, such as cancer, heart attacks, strokes, and amputations. But the pension system will have to pay them for so much longer. And they will still eventually need healthcare for whatever will kill them. This is a really shortsighted law. Let the kids have a smoke and you can stop paying for them much sooner. Not only that, the kids will look so much cooler with a smoke on their lips. 555 Copper. I remember reading an article about mainland China. One of the arguments for being very acceptable to smoking was the possible decreased costs in healthcare because people would die earlier. In addition, the government had a monopoly for a while and made huge amounts of money from smoking. Even so, I am glad that it has been banned from most public places. I used to hate going out and getting that smell all over me.

I don't dislike Mr. Musk, I just think he has just gotten a bit goofy. Maybe he always was goofy and just kept it out of public. Now, he believes his "celebrity ness" and thinks it gives him the ability to talk about a lot of things that maybe he shouldn't. Lot of celebrities fall into this. Because they are famous, they believe that their knowledge on things has increased because of their famousness. Usually, it is the opposite. As they become more famous, they are more isolated and actually know less.
