    Did I even address that issue? I'm just saying this is a large enough dataset, from a specific enough group to mine for valuable data.

    They'd need all new phones that could access all the bands. Generic 'world phones' can't use Sprint's spectrum.

  3. Re:Capitalism Tends Toward Monopoly on T-Mobile, Sprint Close To Agreeing Deal Terms (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Sprint and T-Mobile are on different bands. Phones are frequency locked to one network or the other. In most places they are both renting space from the same tower owners.

    The only possible reason to allow this is the assumption that Sprint is already 'walking dead'.

    Geolocation records from half a million cars from 'buy here, pay here' lots.

    You could analyze this data and find every drug house in the nation. The spots where lots of scumbags frequently stop for short times, exclude retail locations and you're left with 'informal retail locations'.

    But it's not like the cops don't already know where most are. They can pick up a few bucks from the spots they weren't already extorting.

  5. Don't forget the Lithium Deuteride! Amazon is missing opportunities if it's not including all 3 in a 'frequently bought together' package.

    Waterroo. Water 'cold squeezed' from bags you have to get by subscription.

    Soda is bottled in highly automated plants run by skilled technicians and engineers.

  8. Make some homebrew beer. Sterilizing bottles by hand is a huge pain in the ass.

    Wholesalers are lucky to get 30 percent of the retail price of things like bottled water. Which retail for about 10 cents/half liter. Don't even consider the ripoff prices paid at convenience stores, much less entertainment venues. You won't see those.

  9. Tanker trucks are free? Contract bottling/distribution is free? Just trading cap costs for ongoing by farming it out.

    I can top it.

    Lady found the Keurig machine empty of water. So she filler her, never washed, coffee cup with 1 cup of water, poured it into the tank and made her cup of coffee.

    At least it was heated to 'boiling', for a second.

    Nestle is too smart to put a business in Flint. Duh.

  12. The convenience store might get $1, the concert venue might get $5. Nestle gets 10 cents, if they're lucky.

    10 cents for the bottle? No. Not unless your talking a very fancy bottle, more like Fiji water or something equally stupid.

  13. That _would_ be a cheaper way to fail at this business.

    Doubt it. I think the dude dripped pure water into something like 1 molar acid and got splattered by the instaboil.

    Perhaps he was playing with nitroglycerin ingredients and didn't realize what he actually did and that he didn't actually make any. Nobody told him the truth because it would only make him more dangerous.

  16. No, the old 'Idiots don't understand business' story.

    If you think business is simple and Nestle is evil for making a profit, that means you don't understand.

    A bottling line will likely cost a million dollars plus, turnkey. That's a surprise to you, but that didn't stop you from shooting off your mouth.

    If you ever want to give up Taco Bell, get a good smell of 'Ol' Roy' brand canned beef dog food, then goto a Taco Bell and inhale. You will recognize the smell.

  18. The 'get bottles' step is complicated. Buy injection molding/blow molding machines, design and make molds to make bottles and lids. Or you can pay someone to do it for you.

    'Fill bottles' is also complicated. Bottle filling lines cost.

    Then you get to compete for shelf space. Hope you enjoy blowing supermarket managers.

  19. That book will get you killed. Many dangerously wrong instructions.

  20. Define 'explosive'...Thermite burns very hot, doesn't blow up.

    Bullshit.

    High school chem labs don't have strong enough acids to make nitroglycerine.

  22. Journalists, take chemistry? Where? Best odds are in high school.

    J schools typically have normal liberal arts curricula. No non-remedial math or science required. They retake middle school math and 'earth science' yet again in college.

  23. Coincidently. This will happen to all non (incumbent/appointed successor) presidential candidates in the future.

    Bet your opinion about it changes when it's Warren whose phones are bugged by Trump. But nobody will give a shit, because at that point you're just a hypocrite.

  24. That would be the Israelis job. There _should_ be an investigation. For all I know there was/is and our news choses to ignore it.
