I've learned to ask. Many stores have a secret stash of parts hidden away, nice way to get a capacitor or whatnot when you're in a rush. It isn't like the old days when you could browse all the part aisles, though.
There are hundreds of generic painkillers with caffeine. Caffeine is a well documented potentiator for numerous NSAIDs such as aspirin. Caffeine is added to analgesics in order to make them more effective.
My favorite broadcast censorship was The Big Lebowski. They dubbed similar shaped words to avoid the smoke detector soundalike of such a swearword laden film. Best scene is John Goodman smashing a porsche with a baseball bat screaming "This is what happens when you find a stranger in the alps!"
Oh that is smart and a bit devious! No dealing with change and offload the cost of the system to the tenants. I remember hoarding quarters so I could do laundry. It kind of messed me up about money for a while. I still have to force myself to get rid of change.
Pay to see? I took a test last year to pull permits on my electrical system and found everything easily online, downloaded PDFs from links on the building code website. I checked out a giant code book from the library but didn't end up using it much. When I took the test they provided a copy of the code for me to refer to. This was in Denver, seems like the city government is pretty with it on the interwebs.
That's an interesting idea. I will read that book. I've been thinking about this lately, how we are losing a lot of jobs. I have faith that we will come up with new things to do just like always. Hardly anyone does jobs that almost everyone did 100 or 200 years ago. It only takes a few percent of people to make all the food and clothing that people need, these used to employ the bulk of humanity. Once we don't need truck drivers or warehouse workers there will be something new that people like. Perhaps there will be an explosion of performance work, or handmade items. It is difficult to predict.
It's true that there are still some regional chains left, but some of your examples are a bit more complicated than that.
For example, Albertson's and Cub are both owned by SuperValu. Fry's is owned by Kroger, which has thousands of stores. Kroger is incidentally one of the only traditional grocers able to compete effectively in today's marketplace.
Many shoppers don't want their store name to change even when ownership does, so you end up with dozens of names for the same corporation.
On the topic of firework noise, a lot of people do the wrong things when their pets start acting scared. There is a lot of good information here that might be helpful. One common mistake is to physically or verbally comfort the pet, this trains them to play up their fear.
A fireman told me that live dry trees are way more flammable than dead ones due to the volatile oils emitted by a living tree. Once the needles drop this is even more pronounced.
Not sure why I'm replying to AC but in Denver there are dozens of flophouse motels along Colvax ave that charge $200/week. They are generally not rented on a daily basis but monthly or weekly. They are used by hookers and drug dealers and borderline homeless. Ask around at the neighborhood homeless shelter for extended stay housing and you'll find it. Always infested with bedbugs, scabies, etc.
Asbestos is hazardous to ingest, even though it is made from elements that would otherwise be nontoxic. Plumbers used to get cancers all along their digestive tract in addition to asbestosis in their lungs. It's so strange that something can have such a horrible shape.
You are I are in agreement on the value of human life and the reality that limited resources must be conserved. I disagree that socialized medicine limits what can be spent on saving a life. Rich people will always be able to buy extra healthcare, the socialized component is there to provide a floor for basic care. Wealthy Brits can purchase extra care at home or fly to a luxury clinic in India, Quatar, or the US and that will always be the case.
I also disagree that the current US system restricts us to what we can afford. A poor alcoholic who gets run over by a car will be given expensive care. A random person who has a stroke will be given care despite their insurance status or wishes until they are stabilized. We have had emergency care socialized for a long time.
I'd like to see a system that provides basic care for all, no expensive chronic conditions get heroic care. I'd especially like to see severe rationing of care for people with terminal conditions or those in the last few years of life. It is depressing to see how much is wasted on people like my grandparents, dying slowly and miserably and expensively, asking me for help committing suicide. I don't want to live in a country where people in a car crash get their bank account tested before they have their bleeding stopped.
You can't dump salt in the ocean in large quantities without having an effect. Local salinity levels will rise, possibly enough to affect marine life. There are huge industries that depend on marine life, not to mention conservation for nature's sake.
In Australia a new desalination plant is spending huge amounts of money to attempt to mitigate the effect on marine life including prawns and cuttlefish. There are many areas with existing or proposed desalination plants that have problems with local salinity levels due to the local currents and geography.
Obviously the oceans overall are large enough to handle desalination but there are localized effects.
You are one car crash, stroke, or cancer diagnosis away from racking up millions in costs. You don't even have to be conscious for these costs to be incurred. You might be permanently disabled as well. You are not as independent as you think, you are just fortunate so far.
That might not be correct. Sometimes the structure matters. Asbestos is made from harmless Magnesium or Iron, Silicon, Oxygen, Hydrogen atoms. The only thing that makes it toxic is its molecular structure. Perhaps graphene sheets break up into bad shapes of molecules that get stuck in our intestines like asbestos does, and if you dry out the water there is toxic dust that gets stuck in our lungs.
Soot is very toxic, and is composed of carbon. The size and shape of the molecules makes soot very hazardous to breathe, even though the constituent atoms are not toxic.
There were dozens of prior bot based search engines. The first one I remember was Archie, around 1990. Early 90s players such as Excite, AltaVista, Webcrawler, InfoSeek all predate Google and used scripts to crawl the web. The only major hand-crawler I remember was Yahoo, but I think they used bots before google did, too.
One thing I remember very clearly was how terrible the search engines all were, though at the time I thought they were amazing. The first time I used Google I couldn't believe how fast it was, and how flexible their search terms were, and the extent of the results.
I was a little surprised it is that old, most of the cars I see look newer than that. My car is old enough to be a senator, so I am dragging the average age up a bit.

It works if you log out. Stay logged in and it reverts points, even if you check the post anon box.

1.35? 1.45? Your landlord might have a dime fetish. How irritating!

That is awful! I hope their dog is OK.

It is a troll. You aren't going to advance awareness by telling people you disagree with to burn in hell.
I think that pets need to be trained to handle loud noises because loud noises are going to happen. Cars backfire, thunderstorms, etc.
Genius! You are also protected against scurvy and malaria.
Did I read that correctly? You eat two dog treats and a glass of vodka?
Not a big deal? I disagree. The unseasonable heat has caused the worst fires in history, ruined crops and gardens, killed many people.
It's not even the typically hot part of summer yet, either.

Don't worry, wall street makes outlandish profits from art, real estate, and CDs too.
If this is the case why do microseconds matter so much? If they are offering an honest deal why pay billions to shave microseconds from their trades?

Average car age in the US is about 11 years
