Afternoon Delight

Thought we were the only school to do this (and this was like 20 years ago). It was crazy because we had this "express line" which had some kind of sandwhich, fries, and you could purchase a slice of Papa Johns for $2.50. It was insane because people would get 2 slices and a ton of fries every. single. day.

You had a lot of 'free lunch' kids at your school, didn't you?

Montgomery Ward. Now that was a store that always felt depressing to be in. Like you could just feel the subpar-ness everywhere.

It got sucked into the same sort of debt death-spiral that finished off TRU about twenty years later.
Diverting revenue to service debt is less revenue that can be devoted to store upkeep and updates. As the stores get progressively more run down, less people bother to show up, which means even less revenue for store upkeep and updates. Repeat until liquidation.

The + button actually does something?

Yeah after chapter 2 cutscenes you'll start seeing "Press + to hear travel banter" or something like that up in the corner. You'll see it.

Yeah... I'm still dicking around near the main loop and the various side-caves. Sneaking in to areas a few levels early is an efficient way to grind - especially so when Haanit has that stolen axe and gets extra attacks every now and then.

You'd buy the disc and the DIVX Player would burn the disc in such a way that it would stop working in about a week.

It was a 'phone home' DRM, in the literal sense. The player wouldn't really function without a phone line attached.

That's already been discussed. Moon dust contains a lot of static charge, which pushed the flag. But no the tinfoil hatters jump to conspiracy before even attempting to think of a logical explanation.

I attempted quite a bit to think of logical explanations. First I thought maybe he brushed up against the flag, then I thought maybe when he hopped by it sent vibrations through the ground that were picked up by the flagpole which waved the flag. But nothing really lined up with what's in the footage. This static dust theory seems pretty good but I wasn't able to find anything linking it to the flag waving, so I'd appreciate a source where that's been discussed.

The Coulomb force (aka, static electricity) would be pretty substantial in a place with weak gravity and negligible atmosphere.

Kind of interesting how Home Depot and other home repair/supply stores have been so good at weathering this onslaught of walmart and amazon

You can't very well order a bundle of 2x4s or half a dozen drywall panels from amazon. That would probably be a bad idea anyway.

Sears is next

Sears/Kmart could be next, or it could zombie along for another decade. Hard to say. The company is being intentionally ran into the ground, instead of running around in a panic trying to keep the doors open for another six months.

Penny or Macy's is probably going to be next.

It's generally accepted that Switch is slightly more powerful than the other consoles I mentioned.

[citation needed]
Simply by having half the RAM as the other two, Switch is already kinda crippled.

i'm not of the "it didn't happen" camp. I know we landed on the moon several times. I just want to know what the general explanation was for why the flag was flapping during the very first visit.

Link to the specific footage that concerns you at least.

Here you go, along with a debunking

please explain why the flag was flapping

Because they shook the flagpole as thought would make a cool image.

The moon does have an atmosphere, just not a very substantial one at all.

Most of these people still don't understand what a toilet is and shit in the fields.

Shitting in a field would actually be environmentally responsible.
They shit right on the street, which effectively pan-fries the poo, releasing various noxious gasses and leaving behind a sort of shit-cake that doesn't really do anything but be shitty pavement (literally) until the next rain.

Because you can see evidence of the moon landing from earth with a telescope. So people who believe the moon landing was faked are either stupid or too poor to get access to a telescope.

Coffeebeanz posted...

You can literally see some of the landing remains with a good telescope.

No you can't.

If anyone can, I'd like one of those telescopes please.

Emotions spilled over in the courtroom Tuesday, with a scuffle breaking out after the lawyers representing the girl and a separate group of attorneys with no connection to the case attacked the defendants as they were leaving, Rajendran told CNN.

Please tell me there's video.

but the buckles seem impractical at best

Well with buckles you don't have to tie on your bikini and you can take them on and off while retaining the same tightness.

Once you tighten the buckles, you are pretty much good. And there's no extra string hanging on the side.

Yeah... this makes a lot of sense, actually.

Until the buckles start digging in to your skin.

As opposed to what, a knot?

A cotton knot will hurt less than a plastic buckle, yes.

Cotton swimwear seems like a terrible idea.

People like you are why the world is doomed. Passing Climate Change as a partisan issue when really it should be a wake up call to people. Because you trust idiots like Trump over 99% of scientists show that you are the ones who should be ignored. Deal with it.

Here's what's going to actually happen:
1. Climate bands drift poleward.
2. Current shitholes become shitholier.
3. Life goes on elsewhere.

If we want to make any meaningful impact on emissions, then we need to stop being so damn paranoid about nuclear.

They're not even the best "papa" pizza chain, and that other one makes you cook it your damn self.

Russia was in on it too. America paid them off.

Right.
Russia "faked" incinerating and suffocating several cosmonauts, huh?

This is just what happens when a drug takes upwards of a decade to finally get to market.
Would you be willing to try an experimental drug for your debilitating condition five years ago, or would you rather wait until it's been lawyer'd through a bloated regulatory process?

The manufacturer has to recoup development and approval costs somehow, and various European nations (as well as the one just north of here) mandating price-ceilings certainly isn't helping things.

Because, it would have been silly to then fake a moon landing five more times, and also faking a failed moon landing while doing so.

I mean do we know the actual line he said?

Yes

The context, apparently, is papa John being nudged by an ad company to hire Kanye for ad spots. John didn't want to be associated with a guy who uses [n-word] in his lyrics, then went on some misguided tangent about Colonel Sanders.
The agency was fired, and tried to extort money from Papa John's. When that didn't work they went public.

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/07/17/papa-johns-founder-speaks-out-on-resignation-the-board-and-kanye-west.html

Schnatter resigned his post last week at the behest of Papa John's board after confirming the Forbes' report. However, he said the comments were taken out of context and that he was provoked into using the N-word after Laundry Service executives on the call suggested the pizza chain bring on performer Kanye West as a co-spokesman for television spots and promotions.

Schnatter said he refused to work with West because "he uses the 'N' word in his lyrics," according to the letter. It was later on the call that Schnatter said he used the actual word when pressed whether or not he was a racist.

"I then said something on the order of, Colonel Sanders used the word 'N,' (I actually used the word,) that I would never use that word and Papa Johns doesnt use that word," Schnatter told the board. "Let me be very clear: I never used the 'N' word in that meeting as a racial epithet, nor would I ever."

There's a reason "let's wait for all the facts" became a meme.

There should be a cap on bank accounts at a reasonable level. When you make that much money, you dont even need to work... You can live off the interest. All income on these multi-millionaire and billionaire accounts that go over the cap should go into a basic income fund for people who qualify. Even if the cap was as low as $50,000,000, that would be enough to afford whatever they wanted. With as much as they earn, they would never drop below that cap.

This is the sort of statement that strongly suggests, "didn't think it through".

Let's say, for example, any money deposited in a bank in excess of 50 million is confiscated. What do you think would really happen?
Think about this, for just a little bit.
