First off, I don't have a storefront. I work out of my home. Many of my customers also do. That does make a difference.
Second, I am not racist, so would not limit my customers based on their race or skin color. I have clients of many races. I can't say specifically, because quite honestly I don't look at them that way. On a personal note, my wife is not white, my daughter is only half white, and before I met my wife I had dated women of many ethnic backgrounds, including black and American Indian. So kindly put that racist torch back in its bucket, you won't be needing it tonight.
Third, one of my new clients this month was a nice old man and his partner. They are gay. I don't care, since their personal life isn't my business. Fixing their computer is my business.
This is all academic, since I don't refuse service to anyone based on whatever group they are in. The last time I refused service was to an old white European guy that was abusive. I told him to never call me again, and the final service call I made would not be billed. No bluster was involved.
Speaking of bluster, that's what I think you guys sound like.
"Oh, you better watch out. We'll come after you for not allowing us to pay you money to put your kids through college. We'll insist you let us help you pay your rent, because we need the acceptance of someone who doesn't like us. We'll force you to like us by trying to ruin your business, unless you take this money from our children's college fund."
I own a business. I am a business man. I decide who my potential customers are, and who I don't accept as customers. No one can make that choice for me.
Easy, he used a British accent. We always believe anything someone says if they have a British accent. The hard part was getting that accent into the email.
What about the women who work for women? As in those companies founded and governed by women? Are all their female employees discriminated against by the female management?
I'm pretty sure he meant to have twice as many drivers as they currently have, and split them into two groups. GroupA drives in the morning then goes home, or to a second job. GroupB comes in for the afternoon.
Thanks for the explanation. I knew (sort of) that proteins get broken down into amino acids, but had assumed the proteins themselves are traveling in the blood before being broken down.
Do any of the proteins in our food get into the blood supply, or are only the amino acids able to do that?
I made this post at the bottom of the page, but I'm making it here so you can see it easily. ==
There should be 50 &'s in the subject line. But there can't be. A message comes up saying the subject line is empty, and won't even let me preview the post.
Second attempt, there should be 48 &'s in the subject line, following the number 48. A message comes up saying use less repetition in the subject line. Won't preview.
Third attempt, there are 25 digits with 25 &'s between them, and the preview seems to show the same. We'll see what happens in the post.

"Buddhist converts." Did I say that she converted to Buddhism, or that she converted her whole family?
But, yes, she is of Asian ancestry, though she was born in this country. To make it more confusing for you, she was born in 'The States', but not in 'a state'.

Blustery indeed.
Where did I say I don't have gay customers?
Don't bother ducking. It went far over your head.
The fuck I'm not.

I have mod points today. I'll throw one on his comment for you.

You don't think Charles will make a good Queen?
At least a few of us caught the quote.

Thank you for the additional info. I was not aware that the calibers were originally metric.
Also, I love your sig. I wish several people on this board felt that way on various topics.
Convert that 5.56mm or 7.62 mm to inches and you will find two very common caliber rounds.
The state of drunken stupor?
I hate squirrels.

Considering his original post was about their dealings with his father, I doubt he based it on their reputation from 80 years ago.
I just went looking for it, and took a minute to find it.
Maybe Classic Shell should have a Slashdot Release version available.
Oh, I see what you mean. You weren't referring to nutrients in the blood, but the blood itself. I stand corrected.
Sooooo, How many Kessel Run's is that?
You complain about earth-centricness, and then base a time measurement on how long it takes the earth to travel around the sun.
Think about what you have done Kent.
Google says it's based from a Carl Sagan quote. Various movies/shows probably reference it.
My brother's friend could have used that. They drove that thing everywhere it wasn't made to go.

I don't even know what your point is there.
