Why bother for the cold meds? The pharmacy counter of a typical drug store ( like cvs or walgreens) is a lot closer to the entrance, and much, much closer to your parking space, and the parking space is usually closer to your home. And the lines are usually shorter, too.
I can see the bakery items. They're usually a lot cheaper than you get at a real bakery, but the product is different, too. That box of sudafed is the same no matter where you buy it, so the prices are similar everywhere.
You don't even need the klaxon and camera. Just record the transaction like normal and deduct the balance from the account when the transactions are sent to the central server. Then keep a record of negative balance accounts and sync the list on each bus/train when they return to the station.
In case someone goes negative balance and tops off the same day, sign the balance with the time each time it's updated, and accept cards with positive balances whose update time is fresher than the expiry list sync time.
If you sync even as little as four times a day, there's only a small window of opportunity for a replay attack to work, and only so much theft of services that can occur within such a window.
There's actually a lot of good stuff in the Art of War that maybe could be applied to management. Contrary to the title, it isn't really about fighting battles. It's more about not needing the battles in the first place.
A week maybe isn't long enough to learn the ins-and-outs, or to do any long-term projects, but I sincerely doubt that there is as tremendous a shortage of people capable of running a large company as the compensation packages would seem to indicate.
For one thing, even if all you did all day was make perfect decisions, you can't do it for more than 168 hours a week. Less than that, even, since some of those hours need to be reserved for sleep.
But it's not exactly new tech to query a central server for each transaction wirelessly. They don't even need a cell agreement, they can have a node at each station - people only get on at the designated stops, after all.
We're replacing slips of paper, sure, but shouldn't they be replaced with something better than slips of paper, rather than something that costs more than paper and has much greater chance for fraud?
The local organic farmers market and organic co-op are as cheap as commercial foods.
Only if you're on SNAP or WIC or equivalent and get extra farmer's market bonus bucks. If you're buying it with your own money, it's definitely not cheaper. Picked closer to optimal ripeness, so potentially slightly more nutritious or delicious (or... sometimes not...), but not cheaper.
Also, it's quite unreasonable to expect the local farmer's market to also be organic. The small farm operations really cannot afford to weather too many bad seasons that could've been prevented with herb-, pest-, or fungicide. They will still try for you, but it's not better to have no tomatoes when you could've had not organic tomatoes one year.
Ever try to drink a plain seltzer water? Sugar helps get the enormous amounts of dry nastiness down your throat.
Analogously, I doubt that either Lye or Muriatic acid would taste very good on their own, but together they make an excellent seasoning for a variety of dishes.
Peanut butter and Chocolate on the other hand are the exception to this rule.
Go to the hardware store, find the rolls of screen material. Pinch the corner of the material.
If it stays pinched, it's "metal." If it doesn't stay pinched, it's the other stuff.
I'm not sure it's worth it, though. The metal screens are harder to install - they pinch and fray way more easily - and I'm not convinced you'd get much benefit from it. They tear pretty easily, too - they're really fine wires, after all. I don't think the squirrel would have had too much trouble.
Also, If I'm reading the various articles about this correctly, That's just the raise in base pay. The teachers also get increases based on time in. So, a 5-year teacher's pay might go up 7% from one year to the next, but the actual teacher with 5 years in will get a bigger increase in pay - the next year, they'll be a 6-year teacher...
Why are you paying money out of your pay check for wars you probably don't think you should be in? After all your tax bill would be considerably smaller if the US didn't spend more on military spending than the next 26 countries combined.
Got it. We've now identified two areas where government spending could be reduced if we changed the goals somewhat. There's some work to be done to get there, but the benefits are numerous. Also, this suggests that there are other areas at the local and national level where we could "do less with less" and benefit everyone.
We all pay for things we don't want, don't need or consider immoral. It's a fact of life.
Hmm.. not where I was expecting you were going with this. I'm not sure I can get behind the idea that we should all just suck it up over the things we don't like government spending money on because we've always paid for it in the past.
It also assumes C. you can save money by dropping cable because the price for just internet (either with the cable company or a competitor if one exists) is lower than the bundle price.
DS9 suggested that Latinum is a heavy metal which has a liquid phase at room temperature and pressure, which is reactive enough to be metabolized and thus cause heavy metal poisoning, but non-reactive enough to be stored in a stomach for tens of years....
There's two months till the election. My guess is that he's going to accidentally pocket veto everything for which the timer runs out. There are too many donors and golf courses to court and congress isn't in session all the way through November, is it?
And could be used with overdrive, which is the craptastic way libraries are dealing with ebooks
And had a neat gimmick to transition away from the blackberry "take up half the space with a crappy keyboard" paradigm *.
* in practice, this didn't work so great the first iteration, but fortunately you only need to type in stuff every few hundred pages (the next book you want..)
And yet people continue to talk about the kindle like it's the only eReader out there. That is the real danger.
IN the national elections the last thing we want is to elect someone who got a few more votes. We want someone who earned their votes from as broad a base as possible.
Well, that's the last thing we want as citizens. But the last thing that the media wants is an election that's obvious to everybody months before November. That would seriously cut into the profits they could have made with horse race coverage. Not to mention the price of political advertising. In the presidential election alone, over $1 billion are going to be spent, mostly on advertising, before this is through....
...the 4k standard created by the Japanese (and gosh doesn't that say a lot about the state of the west)...
That the West is pretty great? Same as if United Kingdom or Canada created the standard. I mean, you're defining "The West" based on political and economic philosophy, not on some arbitrary lines on a map, right?

Wait.. aren't Visa and Mastercard both part of the same consortium?

Silverlight is used by Netflix. Are they not a huge website?
Are we sure it doesn't just show that prior to the survey, they held the views that they argued for, but simply misread the original questions...?

... I've removed most all processed foods from my diet. I like to cook..so, I was getting rid of that years ago...
So.. I guess you stopped cooking, then?

zero grams of salt is a pretty small amount..

But if you must get guinness that isn't on tap, the bottle does a better job because of the rocket widget....

The FED printing more dollars shouldn't affect the price in Sweeden....
Ok, I can play this game. Spaceship is 500' in diameter, and the entire surface can be used as an electronically steerable phased array.
There, done. you can talk to the spaceship anywhere below geo that has line of sight.*
*I don't feel like doing the actual gain/diffraction calculations. Suffice to say that there is a diameter for which the above statements are true.
