Instead of Pantry, we use the "Subscribe and Save" program for regular-use items. The problem we've found is that products drop out of "Subscribe and Save" all the time, and, increasingly, items that we subscribed to are inexplicably out-of-stock for the scheduled deliverer. Which kind of destroys the value of a subscription program, , , ,

My biggest complaint are the Keyword Spammers, who parse your profile, and if more than "X" words fit what you're looking for, you get a message. Usually for something far removed from your specialty, half (or less) of your current compensation, and for a 3-month contract halfway across the continent.
I would pay to LIMIT who could see my profile.
As it is, I have only one hard and fast rule on accepting Linked-in Connection requests:
1. They're a Recruiter AND 2. Have a name from the Subcontinent AND 3. Graduated from some college in India.
It saves talking to boiler-room operations looking for rejects from American Citizens so they can justify an H1b hire on the basis of "No Americans Want This Job". . .
And, on the flip side, anything to the right of Bernie Sanders is labeled "alt-right" or "Nazi"
What about those of us in the middle ? We look at BOTH sides in disgust. Is Trump an ideal human being ? Hardly. However, the economy is growing nicely, jobs are far easier to find, etc.
With the good comes the bad, and vice versa. These endless "purity tests" by both sides have long since become tiresome.

Besides, you don't **need** a 3D Printer to make a firearm. The tools in any decently-equipped home workshop are generally sufficient. A drill-press, a rivet gun, and perhaps a hydraulic press, and you're good (Or spend a few hundred bucks at the local Harbor Freight. . )
The point is, firearms are extremely easy to make by any competent craftsman. The genie has been out of the bottle for CENTURIES. All 3D printers do (or CNC automills) is the gruntwork. . .

I grew up on a farm. Doesn't bother me one bit. In fact, I've slaughtered pigs that I later helped eat. And have hunted deer, and ate them as well. You do not want deer eating up your entire truck garden. . .
Take a look in the mirror, and smile. The Incisors and Canines in your mouth evolved primarily for eating meat, and the premolars and molars evolved for grinding vegetable matter. I go with what my biology is optimized for.
I will add that almost every animal source is edible, and the vast majority of plant life is either inedible or actually toxic in some way. I stick with what works. . .

1. How likely is the bug to be exploited (x times a year) 2. How much damage will the bug cost ? (y dollars per attack")
. . . and THEN: how much will it cost to fix the bug. ( call it "z": recoding, testing, review. distribution of fix)
Then you do the math: If z is less than x times y, it makes sense to fix the bug. If z is more than x times y, and especially much more, you accept the risk. And you revisit the question periodically, as security is a ongoing process, not a single pass-it-and go state.

Dude. One of the requirements in the contract was to comply with the appropriate regulations and best practices. Which, despite my team bugging you for literally YEARS, and pointing out where the contract specifically requires code reviews. . ..I get told "when did this requirement come in" and "we don't have the money for that." But apparently they had the money for three extra Vice Presidents and their staffs. . ./boggle
Come now, if the money had been in bank accounts since the 1970s, the amount would have been nickeled and dimed to death by service fees. Hell, if it was Wells Fargo, the Iranians might be OWING money. . . .
I'm going to disagree partially: heritage and culture have a LOT to do with the success of a nation. Kipling said it best, in "The Sons of Martha"
The Sons of Mary seldom bother, for they have inherited that good part; But the Sons of Martha favour their Mother of the careful soul and the troubled heart. And because she lost her temper once, and because she was rude to the Lord her Guest, Her Sons must wait upon Mary's Sons, world without end, reprieve, or rest.
It is their care in all the ages to take the buffet and cushion the shock. It is their care that the gear engages; it is their care that the switches lock. It is their care that the wheels run truly; it is their care to embark and entrain, Tally, transport, and deliver duly the Sons of Mary by land and main.
Some cultures tend towards 'sons of Martha', and those are the ones that tend to be successful. The problem is, that for all too many of the cultures immigrating in, that the culture of the "sons of Mary" predominate. And when a nation changes from a, for lack of better term, "Marthite" culture to a "Maryite" culture. . ..things get. . ..interesting. In the Chinese sense. . .
And that's the flip side of it: The so-called "Golden Handcuffs". We have it, to a lesser extent, in Metro DC as well. The pay is significantly higher, and you adjust your lifestyle to it. And then. . ..companies outside "the bubble" cannot offer that level, even if the cost of living is low enough that it's a defacto lifestyle IMPROVEMENT. . .

And construction workers, who generally drive to the construction sites.
