It sounds like a way of raising the price while incentivizing cash payment (because maybe just maybe they aren’t claiming all their cash sales)

Probably the latter, because we don’t really know. It’d be a tough one to study properly. The prevailing hypothesis (which is nonetheless only a hypothesis) is that pooping stimulates a cat’s vagus nerve, causing “fecal elation,” a.k.a. poophoria.

Thank you for this info. I wouldn’t have thought to look into such a thing. It reads to me like it was created by marketers, though, not politicians. It says “the Cheese Bureau, a marketing body affiliated with the J. Walter Thompson advertising agency” created it in the '50s.

I agree, but since some chickens are small and some people are big, I figured I’d err on the side on the minimum. It sure as shit ain’t one guy, we agree on that!

There are still many companies in many industries that remain business formal all the way to the tippy top. I’m sure this is changing in some sectors, even highly visible ones (like tech and finance) that may lead business fashion in that direction over time. But it isn’t universal.

A good meal for two, but a good meal nonetheless

Is that a pickle or some pickle?

I’m not accusing you of making excuses for them, because all you’re giving is a reason, and you’re right. And at first it does feel like an excuse. But “management finds that it’s easier” deserves more of our focus and pressure. If they’re big enough that it’s hard to manage basic employee rules/discipline on the ground, they’re probably also big enough to be pocketing loads of profit. It’s reasonable to expect that they’d to allocate some of those spoils to finding better solutions than “throw all the food away.” For instance, if you pay people what their work is worth, they’re less likely to risk termination by taking your old cookies.

When you buy keyed doorknobs and deadbolts, there’s sometimes (always?—not sure, but def sometimes) a sticker on each package with a code. This lets you look through the available inventory to find and buy additional locks with the same code so that if you need multiple locks for the same house, they can all use the same key.

So no, as others have said, mass produced locks aren’t unique, but sometimes that’s a benefit.

Edit to add: it’s okay that locks aren’t unique, because the lock itself isn’t really what keeps people from entering locked doors. Mostly it’s the social contract. Your house key might unlock several houses in your neighborhood, but you’re not gonna try it, because how would you explain yourself if you got caught? And if you weren’t worried about that, then you’d probably be okay with just smashing the window…which means that for someone who would violate it, the lock is moot.

Raw milk seems like a fine option for a farmer. Or really anyone that can see the cow from where they’re standing. Any farther away than that and you must be nuts

And he’s mad they “can’t speak the language,” if you can imagine

I think that means you’re against exploitation, not immigration…

This is a fun idea, but unfortunately Amazon’s search results are pay to play. (That’s why they’re always so bad.)

There’s an undeniable racial component, yeah, but there’s also the very real fact that those suffering past abuses were broadly in a different category from the majority of ordinary (white and white passing) American citizens, creating the illusion that they themselves were safe, or could choose to be safe by keeping their heads down.

As soon as the victim is in a position that you yourself could easily find yourself in (like dropping your kid off at school in a residential area), and you can imagine that you might make the same choices (like trying to leave a dangerous situation safely), your own safety is under direct threat.

A lot of people were sad, angry and outraged before, but now they’re scared.

And hardware fingerprint scanners :(

It’s generally tougher in the U.S. because a lot of our smaller cities were founded post-automobile, post-suburbia and post-shopping malls, and as such they don’t have town centers. At best they might have a main retail corridor.

I’m not sure what they even meant. Possibly that social media replaced real communication and made inroads into our social lives, all of which have now been taken over by all the bullshit? Because yeah that sounds right

The other explanation is right but what’s freddo?
