Eh, not really morally but in terms of raising prices, both do.

and companies can choose to not take cards but they would lose out on a lot of business that doesnt carry cash.

What brought this up on my end was seeing a reddit post about how these fees work, and a reply from a restaurant owner saying he raised the prices on his menu a small % to cover these fees, and somebody replied acting like those costs weren't a problem for them because their Costco Visa card give them 3% cash back at restaurants. I have a similar card(without the monthly fee, though) and use it because I do save little bits of money in terms of cash back. However I do realize the reality of the situation. Cash people get screwed slightly because they pay full price and generally don't get cash back(unless the store had a cheaper cash price, which some do). I use my card because I save small bits of money but that is really a roundabout way of doing things, if the price was 1-3% cheaper from the start at businesses I'd save money and not have to wait or rely on a rewards program with limits and stipulations and whatever else.

Because of the literal nature of how viruses work. Especially since this can be passed between at the time asymptomatic people.

I feel like youve done this one before, okay?

or if not, it feels like you already did it, which is bad, okay

Yeah for what its worth I own the game I want to use(Gran turismo 3) and the gameshark disc as well.

I just wanna get all the cars and have fun without grinding for money since i have no save data

Look up .pnach codes for whatever game you want.

oh yeah I saw that when I looked for info. So I guess just using my gameshark is not going to work eh

I am using PCSX2 and I looked up how to use gameshark cheats and I got an explanation that seemed a little intensive.

I own a PS2 gameshark disc, can I not just use that? Or would it somehow not work?

Watches can get awfully expensive just as a rule. it makes sense to me seeing the level of craftsmanship involved especially in the movements where they should be extremely accurate.

But a lot of people dont get watches because you can just pull out your phone and get highly accurate time. But, people buy and play vinyl records over digital, people still shoot with film cameras rather than digital, etc etc. Watches, especially mechanical or automatic are no different.

That is a nice looking watch. I approve.

I've seen some of these that are funny but the concept in general isn't enough to get me to laugh unless its edited in a way to make it funny.

that one fails imo

They dont think being blasted with shaken up 2 litres of faygo is the cure?

Strange, but i'll allow it.

Why dont fighter ships have one rear facing laser?

I feel like that could be useful sometimes.

Because enemies are nearby?

Just me and my mom here IDK

Good thing I found the low quality version with whistling in the background.

CAUSE IF YOU DONT CARE, WE DONT CARE

yeah no i do not plan on making my taco pop with ortega

but i already had a plug in

im fine with ground meat but ugh ORTEGA taco seasoning

any way to actually spruce this up?

though to be fair all politicians lie, but you can surely do better than trump. He could say water is wet and I'd have to check on it.

No. Use it for updates/important gov't shit because Twitter is one of the most efficient ways to reach millions.

Don't use it to shit talk, lie, gaslight and argue like trump does sometimes.

Its a pepper but the band is called Eggs so DEAL WITH IT.

Now this isn't all gonna be great since we're opening up to the same semi-depleted shelves as when we closed, and itll likely be call after call after call, but itll be good to be active again.

Plus no dress code hell yeah!

In a limited capacity doing phone orders and curbside pickup.

I understand, it must be awfully annoying to not be able to get hard liquor anywhere in this state since we shut down, but from an employee standpoint the PLCB(Pennsylvania liquor control board) handled this about as well as I could have hoped for. I got 3 paychecks during the closure, and I didn't have to risk my life to get them. Plus, since we're opening again I won't need to file for unemployment, which I really didnt want to do if I didnt have to because I want that money to be there for people who are actually hurting more than I am.

This is good news for me. I will have made more money during this than if I was working(once I get that federal gov't check), so I plan to spread the money around and help people I know out when I can.

water is healthy and good

just dont be cringe about it like

Ive been noticing the past week or so a LOT more people on the roads when I am out. Of course I am out too so that fact is not lost on me. I've been going out once in a while during all this now it feels like traffic(minus rush hour/work patterns) has gotten to almost normal levels where i live.

I had little interest in this game but seeing a friend play some it looks like a really fun game and seems like the pulled off what they wanted to pull off in the first chapter.

I'm still likely not going to buy it until all the parts are out ages from now, but this seems like its every bit worth the money just about.

I'm also curious did people really think this would be like 3 hours in the exact same midgar as the original game?

Beats seem like decent headphones that cost 2-3x what they should.

I can't speak for every genre of music but I have a pair of Grado SR80e for $100 that I assume sound way better than any pair of beats, though the Grado's aren't noise cancelling and are open back.

Ah nevermind, I didnt realize, since I wasn't paying attention we're talking about atting people.

well whatever. my thoughts on a different matter will remain.

"gotten?"

Anyways, I feel like the reason is because you can know somebody is a troll(based off of posting style and habits and NOT political views) because they tick off all the boxes, but there is still NO way to prove they are unless they say they are.

I mean, somebody could come in here ticking off every troll box there is but all they have to say is "nope not a troll" and then there we go.

I dont really care about marking trolls posts, but what I don't like is how you get moderated for calling somebody a troll. it makes sense, and besides, there are too many people here who DO call people a troll just because they don't agree with what the other person is saying. Its dumb but thats on us to get better i suppose.

We're all aware we accept on average like one dollar per hundred cash back on purchases to make the prices slightly higher for everybody since the transaction fees mean other entities need their cut?

I mean, I do it. But that IS the reality of the situation, is it not?

Ive tried it but I dont know enough about food/cooking/whatever to attempt to make anything that goes together.

My friend is a chef and can do this shit. While i'm standing by the spice rack thinking "okay I know I've had it but what the FUCK does cardamom taste like" and my friend can just go "oh yeah cardamom will give it the pop it needs"

so yeah either random condiments or random spices i am not good at either.

I havent had a haircut since Octoberish 2017.

I'm good.

Weird time signatures combined with tons of layered guitars.

pretty neat

I see there's a new political troll on PotD.

He's checking off all the troll boxes, of which zero are "is conservative/republican/talking bad about liberals"

I just never knew as a kid what the "scatting" vocal technique even was.

Just about, however it couldn't get me a girlfriend who likes me for who I am, which, while not really a problem, is something I eventually do want.

But yeah, being financially secure is one of the biggest worries I have, even if I am fairly financially secure and at no risk of being homeless or w/e at the moment or coming future.

I was only in the touristy areas of san fransisco. the hills with the famous trolleys on em. I liked those because they reminded me of Pittsburgh but were level inclines and well maintained roads. Maybe elsewhere in the city and surrounding areas its worse, but what I saw I liked.

Some of the shit you gotta do in Pittsburgh is weird. tons of hills all over the place but streets aren't exceptionally well maintained(especially since the pavement cracks in spring), but roads like this one aren't too out of the norm. Driving here can be quite an experience to people who arent used to it or are from flatter places.

Well it appears that Bradford street in San Fransisco may have a 40% grade. I've just never heard it referenced in any of my travels until yesterday, and even so it seems unofficial. But it shouldn't be too hard to get it tested if so, I mean i'm stupid at math but Geometry can't be all that difficult to trained surveyors, eh?

There may well be steeper streets out there but they haven't been officially tested and recorded.

Remember the console wars when somehow GameFAQs and or its posters knew how to shill for each and every company out there to the point you might a well just call it a website that caters largely to everything

Sonic Mania is the first good Sonic game in over 25 years.

I'm not a super sonic fan but it seemed like a very faithful new yet old style genesis sonic worthy of praise.

That one seems worse because it seems like a road people need to drive on and connects to a highway

The street I went to was off a road that was off a main road and realistically outside of wanting to see the street, there is almost no reason to take it unless you live there even if it connects to other roads.

Whoa now, my phone can't record DOUBLE WIDE SCREEN even if its horizontal.

Yeah...i said paved even thought Canton Ave is cobblestone. Basically, taking from the qualifications for the Guinness World Record, it has to be a public paved driveable road that people actually use.

Canton does not qualify for a record, and never did, worldwide because the 6.4/5 meters at the 37% grade isnt long enough to meet their standards, and some places have it beat in highest grade by a little

Here is a video of people riding bikes up this. Now i'd reckon almost all of these people are competant amatuer bikers - as in none of these people are just casual bikers on for the ride. There is some level of seriousness from the competitors. A lot of them peter out quickly. I know at my height of biking I tested myself to some degree but I was never anywhere near this level. I would have made it maybe 5 feet at my peak.

Something I find interesting: at 14:36 a person entered the race in one of the "city bikes" we have around town. Basic bikes you can rent from sidewalk kiosks that arent really made for this kind thing. They aparently did well on it.

anyways, I looked up SF and I found this under the Wikipedia page for Filbert Street, detailing some high gradient streets in SF and elsewhere

An unofficial survey of San Francisco streets declared the steepest street in San Francisco to be a 30-foot section of Bradford Street,[5] paved in 2010, with a 40% grade.

So, that could have Canton Ave. beat. What gets me is how there seems to be some mystery behind this stuff, as if you couldnt send out a survey team and have accurate results in a few days or less. because that same wikipedia article says

Canton Avenue in Pittsburgh is said to have a 37% grade; the length of that grade is unknown.

It's 2.4 meters long, or 2.5, everywhere I've read, including the actual wikipedia page for Canton Ave.

Those two streets you guys are referencing probably have an insane grade, but not 37%, but are carried over longer distances.

And, I knew somebody would mention my vertical filiming. I had plans to take a nice video, but when I got there I didnt feel like being a tourist or whatever so I ended up with a crappier video. The guy I was with is one of my friends, but its hard to get him interested in things that he doesnt already like, so while I thought this was cool as shit, he seemed like he didnt care that much so I didnt bother to ask his apathetic ass about holding my phone for a better video.

I havent heard that before and its brilliant so props for being original.

The only qualifications are that its a paved road and its actually in use. This street qualifies. I've seen a few steeper listed, such as one in wales, new zealand, and hawaii, so continuous US gives it some sort of record.

37% grade over 6.4meters(21ft), we're talking about Canton Avenue in Pittsburgh, PA.

Pittsburgh is a city of hills, possibly the hilliest in America. If you enter the city via the Fort Pitt Tunnel, you cannot see the city until you enter the tunnel and then its like a couple football fields away when you exit.

Anyways, I've been here before, but I never drove up it before until today. Things to note: many of the streets in this area to the south of Pittsburgh are like this. steep, often two way with parked cars but only room for one to go through at a time, and even at the top of this hill, a set of one of the 700+ city steps. the kinda shit your great grandad walked dahn ah get to the mill to get to his j (long o) b.

anyhow, I hyped that up a lot. Here is a video I made. might not seem so impressive on video, but in real life it did. When I went to San Fransisco a while back I was amazed. They had super steep inclines on their roads, but they were maintained, and a perfectly level incline. They aren't as steep as this but they were pleasant to drive on because of how nice they were(the ones those pictures are always taken on of the trolleys).

Remember this was the same Lamar Alexander who said trump DID comit the crimes the impeachment was about - just that it didn't rise to the kevel of impeachment.

Youd have thought i was talking about mick mulvaney but no!

I was IP banned back in the day for indirectly faint CjayC a "male fluid" guzzler.

the impeachment couldn't be fake since you had republicans and even people directly in trumps camp say he did it but that it doesnt rise to the level of removal

So fake people who worked with trump are saying he did it.

I didnt even get a chance to vote for who I wanted in my primary because it was postponed
