Actually yeah now that you mention it, it does sound like something out of a renaissance festival where they’re setting up a scheduled show lol.
“Dirty Dave I’m calling you out! You and I are going to have a duel to the death! At 12:00 in the town square! Right in front of the Hootenanny Stage! Be there to see who is the winner! Tips welcome!”
I’ll just add to this, 9mm, or any handgun really, is still very loud. The reason it doesn’t seem as loud is because when most people are shooting there are two main things happening.
Again it’s still really loud, but the context of where the sound is being made does make a difference. Obviously larger rounds will be louder, but that doesn’t mean rounds like 9mm are safe for your ears at all.
I long for the days where movies would tell you it’s night time but still actually keep it light enough that you can, y’know watch the movie
They don’t care to do anything about those
Isn’t there a whole big deal about Fred Meyer merging with them and some anti monopoly bs going on?
Yeah see it’s not surge pricing! We actually lower prices whentheresnobodyintheaisle so that the discounts are passed on to you! Also we list the lowered price in the ads and apps so when you come in you can be surprised by power of our tech! and the updated price
I always thought there was supposed to be some kind of PPE or cleanup team that has to do that. Thankfully never had it at any of my old retail jobs but one of my friends said at their grocery store they basically just had a high powered hose they blasted everything down with then went after with sanitizer
Just want to add, in the US you’d don’t have to register to vote each election/vote, just when you change address.
I think I can speak for most Americans (and as someone who owns stocks) fuck the shareholders.
Not to mention a lot of eggs in one basket. They’ve built in a lot more redundancies now yeah, but all it takes is a hit to AWS and a shitload of the internet is just DOA. Yeah you can argue about protections and data centers or whatever, but still. It’s one big nest in control of one company, no matter how well they guard it, it’s still a risk, technical, ethical, or whatever.
Also sounds like you had a crappy realtor. If you’re using a realtor, get them to work for you, that’s what they’re for. Give them the specs of the house you’re looking for, sure, but they should be calling you with listings, vetting the homes before they show them to you, handling negotiation relays and inspection setups, etc.
Just general advice, yes you pay them, but if they aren’t working for you, pay someone else.
The thing I tell people is that as a parent, you are going to put maybe a few hours into blocking them from getting to stuff. They are then going to spend as much time as they want trying to get through it. You can dig through concrete with a spoon if you’re patient enough.
Educate them, and give them access when they’re responsible enough
Sounds perfectly normal for a construction/install team to me. “Maritime…doesn’t that mean like ocean or something?” “Hey the drawing says install it so I’m installing it.” “…yeah fair enough.”
I mean it was already overpriced for what it was, and it was only really good/popular during covid. A lot of people now will either go to the gym for classes or just get a bike without a $12-$49 monthly fee. I just can’t wait to see how long until they lock the wheels without a subscription
A lot of business people also think that AI is a “force multiplier” meaning that if they use it they can get more done in less time. Anything that can do that is basically a money printer at the business level, which is why all these execs and companies are so excited about it.
The problem is it’s not or at least not reliably proven to be so. All these companies are jumping on board thinking “shove some AI in there and get 20% growth” when in reality there’s no backing behind it working like that. And that’s why a lot of customers are turned off, because from the consumer side, AI is just sloppy unoriginal junk. But on the business side they just see “Productivity is up” never mind that the productivity is garbage quality.
Oh man this just awakened the memory of the “Big Dawg” stores. Actual stores that were ONLY big dawg merch shirts, hats, and pants.
First comment to get a cringe out of me as I thought of the spiky pedals. Congrats
Oh you need to see the fight from “They Live” if you haven’t. Classic 80s era fight that just goes on for WAY too long. So many times of “Now Ive won. Take THAT.” “RRRRAH” fight immediately starts again
