And as someone with allergies (celiac), it's 100x easier for me to click 'no bun' than to have the conversation where the 17 year old stops everything and says with a dumbass smirk 'Wait, you don't want a bun? So, just, like, the meat?', and then gets a manager who shows them where to click 'no bun.'
Sam's club in the US has it, but you do it from your phone. You scan the items as you put them in your cart, and hit the 'checkout' button when you want to pay (using a credit card you've already entered into the app). On your way out the door someone scans a barcode on your phone and does a quick verification that what's in your cart matches what's on the receipt. Very slick system, and you get 3% cash back or something like that for using it.
I can't imagine you'll be paying anything less than a $5/pound premium on the lab grown stuff. If I had to be on anything about this, it's that it isn't going to be cheap.
I still like the theater on one condition: I go to morning showings. I took a few hours off work and went to Episode VII the day after it was released at a 9:30 a.m. showing. It was me and about four other people in the theater. The evening and afternoon shows were sold out for at least a week solid. (No, I'm not interested in debating the merits of Episode VII. It was one of the rare films I just wanted to see right away.)
Eliminating the crowds eliminates 90% of the nuisances. And it's nice giving a film your full attention now and then, even if I only do it a few times a year.
You can get a decent pair of them for $30 or so. I have a pair that I wear at the shooting range. They are outstanding. The only downside is that if it's a windy day it can get pretty annoying with the wind noise in your ears. (more expensive pairs probably have solved this, but I'm cheap.)

Eventually as the cars get proven I would guess that regulations will loosen up, however right away I'm sure we'll be expected to keep fully alert while 'not-driving'. I predict that it will be 'all the responsibility, twice the boredom' of normal driving initially.
You are exactly right. And in addition to that, the stakes are so fricking high in every movie that everything becomes meaningless. If they're not working to save the entire earth, they are working to save the universe.
I remember watching that 'Captain Phillips' movie with Tom Hanks and thinking 'Wow, that was pretty intense,' and then thinking 'Wow, that was all about saving one dude. What a concept.'
The Sioux debate has gone on for decades. The NCAA declared it derogatory around 5 or 6 years ago. After much fuss and many lawsuits, the 'Sioux' name was officially retired two or three years ago. UND is currently without a mascot.
As I noted, my timeline is approximate at best... but you get the idea.
My daughter was asking about the signature machines years ago. As an example I drew a whale for my signature. She was amazed and asked me do signature-draw stuff on other occasions. Years later, it has evolved into me asking "Whale or ice cream cone?" anytime I buy something with her.
Yep -- had a 'born again' high-school classmate who posted that on facebook, saying something to the effect of "If this isn't proof, I don't know what is."
I try to stay out of religious conversations on FB, but I did feel the need to post "1. That's Photoshopped. 2. It's not showing what you think it is showing. 3. you may want to research the inspiration for that photo, though I take no responsibility for what you find."
No, you're one of the lucky ones. Vaccination actually CAUSES bear maulings. I have a list of everyone who has been mauled by a bear in the last 20 years. ALL OF THEM HAD BEEN VACCINATED. What more do you need, people?
*Of course I jest. But would love to actually have this list and the corresponding vaccination data.
I've had to reboot the f*cking thing because it occasionally locks up. No thank you, smart t.v. Please remain a dumb box in which I plug in other poorly designed crap.
My mom wanted to get into their Morningstar account and didn't have the password. I called and explained the situation -- basically that her husband was deceased and she needed the password, and I said I'd call on her behalf. What steps do I need to take to get it? The rest of the conversation:
Operator: "What's the username he has the account under?" Me: "Uh, billsmith2222 is the username." Operator: "OK, let's see... looks like the password is Sarajane. The 'S' is uppercase." Me: -- Stunned silence --- "Thanks?"
I was glad it went so quick, as I had expected to have to send a death cert and jump through god knows what other hoops, but it freaked me out how casually they gave it to me. I mean, I didn't do anything to verify that I was even any relation to the account. All I had was the username. Obviously someone was new, disgruntled, or just plain stupid, but it worked in my favor for once.
The same part of 'for the next 14 days' that you do not understand. The app is free for one day. For the next 14, it is pay only and enjoys said 'highly profitable placement'.

This is probably the best analogy yet.

You beat me to it. That's 'forced' just poked me in the eye when I read the summary.

Only problem is the filter eventually wears off.

Well played, sir.
What part of $0 do you not understand?
The same part of 'for the next 14 days' that you do not understand. The app is free for one day. For the next 14, it is pay only and enjoys said 'highly profitable placement'.
I just thought I should point that out. The picture of me aboard the shuttle totally added to the epicness of it all.
(And yes, I printed out my flight certificate already, though no one in my office was nearly as impressed with it as I.)
I watched that VBS piece a few months ago. It was amazing. I highly recommend it.
