  1. American can coffee went to shit over decades of pure price competition. It's 100% robusta.

    Nobody under 70 drinks that piss though. It gets less and less shelf space every year.

  2. Guatemala? Not bad at all, but try the Madagascar, you won't regret it.

  3. Cyanide is now called vitamin B-17 (aka Laetrile) by snake oil salespeople.

  4. As is Jane Curtin.

  5. Bernouts are funny.

    You realize that the only reason Bernie was #2 was the electable Ds stepped aside as it was the bitch's turn. Bernie isn't even a D.

    I don't think even the Democrats are dumb enough to hand her the nomination again. She can't win honest primaries.

    But we can dream...Hillary 2020...Trump for 8.

  7. Show me one example of 'competent Hillary'. Nominating her was like trying to make Brady's wife the next quarterback, just a stupid idea. (credit to Bill Burr.)

    The Ds own Obamacare and are in pure obstruction mode. Letting it fail under it's own weight isn't a bad option for the Rs.

    Yes.

    You see the same link I do...I'd guess it was based on statistics gathered from places like Amazon and Netflix. If so, it's based on what the player identifies itself as.

  9. That was the perfect chance to actually vote FOR SOMEONE.

    I choose Vermin, but Libertarian was also a viable choice. Even the green Candidate, dumb ass that she is, was a better choice, given the totality of the situation.

  10. Wouldn't have been sufficient, unless he was running against the most openly corrupt and incompetent candidate in 100+ years.

  11. So do it. Talk is cheap.

    The Chinese are babes in the capitalist woods. They still think keeping their currency low for all these years was a good move. I predict a Chinese revolution inside 10 years, after their savings evaporate. It's going to be _ugly_. Central committee members children will be hanging from lampposts.

    When prime first started, they shipped things like automotive flywheels, 2 day, for free. For significantly less than local parts stores were asking.

    That had to be brutal, they did fix that.

    Newbies have no business looking at web pages. It's too much of a fucking mess, it will only scare them off.

    Find something interesting and simple for them to learn on. Yes it will have to be contrived, but so what?

    So you think, if and when Apple TV catches up, Amazon will just drop out of the market? Why? Makes no sense. They've already got a superior product and are a year ahead based on product release dates.

    Fill the phone with non conductive liquid. You can buy it, coolant for high power electronics.

    If you had no voids in batteries etc, you could go really deep with it. But what's the point? You can't go really deep.

    When a woman changes her hair. You're generally supposed to notice, say something nice. 'You changed your hair, it looks good' etc. They would certainly comment if you wore a new suit (for the first time in years?). Just be a little careful, _you_ are no judge of woman's hair. Complementing their 'new hairstyle' when they were up all night with puking kids if a faux paux. That one bit me. Watch and listen to the other women, they know.

    BTW If a woman comes in with a new push-up bra, don't say 'nice tits', say something nice. 'You changed your hair...no...well something's different today...it looks good.' Don't stare while saying this...or maybe do...if she's smiling.

    Just not, if she's in your report chain, than you ignore the tits. If she bounces them, you have an excuse for looking. They're hypnotic.
