“Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses”

The Libertarians, NRA, etc. would be up in arms (in the original, literal meaning) over something like that, right?

I really enjoyed Grounded. Never got to the end game, but probably because I didn’t really try. I just had a lot of fun exploring and fighting bugs.

Yes, that’s why you pay with credit/debit. To avoid the round up.

I changed “will” to “would” to hopefully make it more clear.

We follow normal rounding rules in Canada. 1, 2 round down to 0. 3, 4 round up to 5. 6, 7 round down to 5. 8, 9 round up to 10.

Can you game the system? Yes!

As a business, make sure all your prices (plus tax) come to a price ending in 3, 4, 8, or 9. When consumers buy a single item you’ll get the rounding up (edit: if they pay cash) and make sweet, sweet profit. But if they buy more than one item, you’re SOL on controlling the rounding.

As a consumer, you have way more control. First, pay with cash whenever the price will round down and you can probably “profit” 5 or so dollars a year. (Assuming you pay with cash on or two times a day, saving 1 to 2 cents each time.) Pay with credit or debit each time the price will would round up.

Second, you can get real fancy. You can learn tax rules in depth so you know what items will or won’t be taxed and at what rate (we have federal and provincial taxes but they don’t apply to everything and they don’t follow the same rules on what is taxed.) But, you can use this info to always know what the final bill will be and always buy combinations of items that end in 2 or 7 (or 1 and 6 if you’re lazy) and always pay cash. You can profit like $20 a year or something doing this.

In reality? No one gives a shit until that one rare time you’re paying with cash and it rounds down. It’s your lucky day and you do the Six Flags Man dance. It’s like finding a penny and picking it up.

TLDR:

• No major damage to the bridge
• It was a masted ship and the mast hit the bridge
• Injured and killed were all on the ship

Lol that’s cute. I did a Monty Python sketch for my future wife (not on the first date) and she was highly amused.

Helllloooo Nurse! Always loved that show. I’ll have to check out the reboot.

Yeah I was trying to avoid something that included his name directly to keep it out of the lexicon as much as possible.

Europe, maybe?

Yeah this looks to me like everyone got scammed, including the new owners.

Makes snu-snu a little different.

“I wouldn’t say I’ve been missing them, Bob.”

I don’t really get what you’re saying. Maybe a picture would help? Having worked with mouse pointers for three decades, I’m pretty sure it’s either correct, or if you disagree then what you’re choosing as the click pixel is arbitrary, and pointer style and implementation dependent. In any case, the user will generally learn the specific click behaviour very quickly, usually without even thinking about it.

You can also put the dead key by the start button or some other designated place in the car to start it with RFID.

Yeah I’ve had mixed success with that on my Honda. I keep spare keyfob batteries around now.

Like Joe Rogan

Well if his self-inflicted suffering makes him stop an iota of what he’s doing on Xitter or with DOGE, then yes, it will improve the lives of others.

Insurers always look at whether you’ve been denied coverage previously by another insurer as part of the decision whether to insure you and at what level and rate. Collusion is built into the system.

That said, I certainly wouldn’t want to insure anyone in that area either. Not in this climate…
