Try comparing the areas with concealed carry to otherwise simular areas without. Works much better than your long since discredited apples and oranges comparison.
Usually (in my experience) the only places that have practices like this are place that pay less than minimum wage to thier tiped staff. Federal wage law allows a person to be paid as little as HALF the mininum wage in tiped jobs, but the employer MUST cover the difference if the combination of tips and wages don't meet minimum wage.
Since reporting tip income is strictly the responsibility of the worker there is no need otherwise.
I do know that Pizza Hut has no requirement of reporting unless your wage is under 5.15/hour. And even then your only required to report 'enough' to stay at or above 5.15/hour.
Also at least two other pizza deleveries chains in my area do the same. (St. Louis, Missouri).
They are Papa Johns, and a local chain that 'hires' thier drivers as 'sub-contractors'. All thier required to do is take deliveries, but all they get is thier tips and $.5 per delivery.
A good rule of thumb here in the midwest is to tip a minumum 10% or $2.00 (which ever is greater) on any order over $10. and 1.5 or more NO MATTER WHAT. break that guidline and I seriously advise you to NEVER order there again. Odds are the driver will have forgotten and is a responsible guy anyway, and your not likely to get the same driver twice. BUT I've know a few drivers to do really stupid stuff. Now I consider that kind of thing completely inexcusable, I suspended a driver once for simply mouthing off to someone who's only mistake was to stiff, the store manager fired him for it (never say "damn cheapskate" to a customer when you're supposed to be showing a new driver,who won't lie for you,the ropes). The most common is to spit on, or add pubic hair to a pizza. I've also heard of people getting serum of ipicac(sp?) in pizza's before.
On the flip side, a consistant good tipper(150% or so of above min) DOES get better service. Many times (especially during peak times on friday and saturday) a driver is sent out with orders for more than one location. MOST drivers will try and take the good tippers pizza first, saving the good tipper as much as ten minutes on his wait. not to mention the much better attitude the driver will show, a much greater willingness to help fix any problem, wherase the stiff is gonna get 'sorry you'll have to call my manager about that'
Looks like a couple of mods don't like the truth. so here it is again. normally I wouldn't bother, but when you mod based on your political views, even when they dissagree with facts you undermine the system. Off topic would have made a kind of sense, especially taken out of context, but overated and flamebait?
Original post:
Based on the fact that concealed carry tends to drop crime rates. And that the incidence of problems with persons who have such permits is extreemly low. I'd say your thinking would be incorrect.
It may not be required of Franchise owners. Or it may be regional. I've never seen a pizza hut running anything else at the store level. Though area manager DO use a windows of some sort (nt or more recently XP, perhaps this is what another poster in this thread is refering to).
I first noticed this in 91 IIRC when I first worked for a Pizza Hut. I've worked for the Hut twice since then and other that 'upgrades' to fms and sus (the two main apps) and later the addition of 'sco open server' on the touch screens the've all been sco unix. My Mom was also a store manager for a pizza hut for several years, and my most recent time working for the hut only ended last feb, five years in management. Between three trips through and being heavilly borrowed to help out at other stores I've worked in about 8 or 9 stores, been trained for management in one, had to train whole new crew for a new store I was asked to join management at (by the regional training manager).All running sco unix on thier systems, though I think nt may have been used for the phone answering system in the new store, but it wasn't connect to the main system.
For what it's worth this is the st. louis area in Missouri (USA if not obvious).
Based on the fact that concealed carry tends to drop crime rates. And that the incidence of problems with persons who have such permits is extreemly low. I'd say your thinking would be incorrect.
Unfortunately Pizza Hut's systems also run sco. Might explain why they have kept cutting back on the number of people they keep on staff in thier stores to the point where if the local hut isn't pulling down quite a few bucks you can count on slow service because they just don't have the manpower to keep up.
Just DON'T take it out on the delivery driver by not tipping or worse, tipping very poorly. I guarantee he's doing his level best to deliver as many as possible in as little time as possible. He makes his money on those tips, not the paycheck and thus the more deliveries he makes the more $$ he makes.
Still If you want to hurt sco a bit and get better service just don't order pizza hut, but tell them why. (say "stop using sco and hire enough people to do the job")
Maybe you meant nothing buy it counciously but stil I have to point out:
"a white kid grabbing the breast of a black woman"
Now what does it matter what skin color the participants had?
And of course you indirectly atack sex. But yet would you be as concerned about violence on tv? Some (not me!) would consider the superbowl a glorification of violence.
You don't seem to understand the difference between rational and factual.
You also seem to misunderstand the scientific process, Everything is eigther theory or lesser. Saying somthing is just a theory as if that reduced it's credibility is a clear sign of ignorance.
It's still just theory that describe how the planets orbit the sun, yet the predictions sofar verify withing the limits of measurement.
Religeon fails this test in that it makes claims without substantiation in most criticle aspects and make few testable, repeatable predictions.
Sorry religeon largely fails to go beyond speculation or logical fallacy and circular reasoning.
Congrats slimball. you've succefully trolled somone with mod points.
"they serve who stand and wait" it's not necessary to actually die for the freedoms of others. When you sign up you are stating for the record, "put in harms way if need be", and then going through a pretty rough training regime just for the privilage of being ready to be told "go die on that hill and try and keep the enemy bussy while your at it" on a moments notice with no explanation.
And some don't die even when the fit hits the shan. They come home minus a few limbs, hearing ruined, eyes destroyed, emotionally wrecked, and sometimes worse.
But I tell you what mister troll, you don't like people signing up to defend your liberty your free to get the hell out and move to a country without any such notions. And don't bother crying to come back when you find out why so many are willing to risk death to migrate the opposite direction.
BZZT. Blowing yourself up is cowardice, not bravery.
Now it they would stick around to be arrested and then try and defend themselves in court by stateing they were preventing murder as many of them believe. Then I might give them a few points for bravery. Not many, Because bravery implies your doing somthing with full knowledge of the possible negative consequences and yet face the danger irregardless. And I don't think anyone who bombs a clinic is that smart.
FWIW My take is that abortion is most likely taking a human life and should be treated with appropriate seriousnes. Treating it as a causual birth controll option of convience is just not good for many reasons.
Actually someone did put out artist scketches. It's also worthy of note that there is a book out where someone tried to track down more info and came up with some connections between McViegh,Nickles(sp?) and Al Queda.
It was called the 2nd terrorist or somthing like that and points out how several people recognized the '2nd terrorist' in the early sketches and some other interesting items. The lady who wrote it was on a local talk show a few weeks ago.
I haven't read the book itself or researched any of the data she claims so at the moment I take it all with a grain of salt. YMMV
Or maybe they do have internet connectivity, but someone was smart enough to classify the IP adress(es) of the ISS in order to prevent them being posted on slashdot's front page followed by the obvious outcome.
NASA: "Come in ISS, are your there.." ISS: "We're here nasa, but somthing fried almost all the on-board computers..." NASA: "yes we're showing you recieved a massive ddos attack, Intell suspects this was co-ordinate on some websit called slashdot." ISS: "Is that an Al Queda website, or some other group of terrorist?"
NO KIDDING. I'm strictly amature, well not even that good really. I've tried to creare realistic people. It is the single most time consuming way to hyperfrustrate oneself that I can think of. Getting a date with a supermodel would be easier.
One time I spent days putting together a torso that looked halfway decent, or so I thought. to check it out I mad some quick cylnder/block limbs and a sphere head. And somthing was off, horribly off, even though I had a front and profile photo to moddle against.
Shure everything lined up with the photos, but yet somthing I never could point to was totaly wrong. The only thing I was shure of was it wasn't the knock together limbs as I could still see it when looking at a full body shot of the original model.
Our brains are so hardwired to recongize and analyze other people that once that part fully engages at a certain level of realism, we can spot errors and issues in the gestalt that we can't readily identify on a consious level.
Actually the right/left brain devide does exist and is NOT full of $#!t. It is however oversimplified in discussion most of the time.
Take for example the case of people who have had thier CC cut, usualy to mitigate severe epilepsy when all else has failed. They show a clear set of issues related to this right/left difference.
What is often left out is that both sides of the brain DO support some of the functions of the other. and of course some functions are shared. In your vision experiment I believe what's been shown is how different mechanisms can support the same end functionality. For what it's worth a person with seperated hemispheres would have much greater difficulty with the same task.
X has generally stood for eXperimental. For example the X-15 rocket plane. This is still often used in the millitary.
Only since many of the more famous experimental craft did some really impressive/exciting things that captured public attention, comercial concerns began to use the x lable to indicate somthing new! exiting! fast! and so on ad nauseum.
Indeed, from my (imperfect)understanding of Asperger's syndrome, Online would differ primarily in NOT physically see-ing or hearing the other person. That and online slows things down slightly giving him more time to formulate a reply.
Aspergers in part reduces the ability to properly decode the subtle social cue's that would ordinarly differentiate on-line verses in person social interaction.
The two types of social interaction are different for most people (though less so in the case of Aspergers), but they are still social. And in many cases online interaction can be a life line for those with disabilities and other situations that make 'in the flesh' social interactions difficult or unusually stressfull. The various social anxiety dissorders also come to mind.
I think it could be a pretty big mess, especialy if it changes the election outcome, depending on the law of the state in question.
The constitution leave it up to the individual states to determine it electors (with a few rules prohibiting electors from holding certain other positions in government).
So I imagine it would in part rely on the state law itself. The elector in question would certainly be in trouble. Especialy if he did it on purpose.
In a word, OUCH. That's two improvements in hdd tech that missed. Time for the trully paranoid to switch to LEAD foil in thier hats. And all the three letter agenencies to switch disposal methodes to include a launch on a big rocket with a course that impacts the sun.
Lets face it, if someone wants to know what data you keep on your hard drive, they'll get it unless you have the resources and experience of one of the said TLAs. What with tempest gear, laser mikes, and alien mind rays for all I know.
Ok I know for certain I've read to many comics and seen to many movies.
Reading your second paragraph I found myself expect an ending more like:
The thread comes from the size of nanotubes. Nanotubes are so small, that they can slip past your skin and later pierce a cell. Then within the cell nanotubes might influence how the cell reproduces... namly the DNA could be changed. Result: random mutation and possibly unexplained powers and physical changes leading to a life of costumed crime fighting.
Well if those aren't working you could probably modify a lateral gravimetric scanner, though for that kind of resolution you'd probably need to feed the i/o stream data through the transporter subsystem so you can use Heisenberg compensators to amplie signal above the ambient noise. Of course this mean you best hope the away team isn't suddenly attacked by natives as you won't be able to beam them up while the transporters are off line. Or something like that:)
Personaly I loathe pdf. It looks like someone trying to immitate a book on a monitor. And as someone who loves both books and computers I find it just plain stupid.
There are to many better ways to present info. And I for one wish people would learn to use them.
Don't get me wrong, there are probably a few small niches PDF is good for. But frankly 95% of all the pdf files I've seen have no bussiness being in pdf. And the few where it kinda worked probably could have been done better as html.
Not to mention the size these things blow up to. in my experience what would be a 20k text file with two or three 100k jpgs winds up 2-3 megs somtimes.
Ok my rant is over now. Mycroft
We can't do that reliably, or even most of the time.
While GPS itself (if you have the military's descramble key for the extra accuracy) is on that order of accuracy, the missles themselves are not quite that good.
Still Once in a while a missle does pull off a cool stunt like that and eigther it has a nose camera sending back info or some other camera catches it.
Where feasable the military likes to show THOSE pics off as they have great PR and propaganda value. After all would you like to face an enemy that apears to be able to pick off just one person in a hotub out of five from 200 miles away with a cruise missle?
That said your basic point is sound. Even without mill-spec decode of the signals you still have enough accuracy to get with visual range of an airport, and even before then stay on a good course and be in a towers airspace for thier assistance as well.
Good point. Last I studied the subject was some time ago and I haddn't given much thought to the improvements in hard drive tech since then. You could still get, if you searched hard enougn, mfm and rll drives, though they were in the same category as sub5 gig intenal ata hd's are today.
I really just wanted to give the poster above me a clue, not really a detailed explanation. But I really should have pointed out I was running on old knowledge. Ecc codes could be fairly significant, especially with a determined opponent or marginal situatuion.
