I don’t see a problem with McDonald’s doing this, as I am not the kind of person who would eat that crap
Okay, great, this specific case doesn’t apply to you. Thank goodness no other business will be encouraged to adopt this model and suddenly make groceries more expensive during the post-work/pre-dinner rush and on weekends.
And Tom Waits had the same name on a song twenty years before that. I don’t think I’m off base assuming OP meant the Semisonic one and not all the other songs with the same name that weren’t '90s Billboard top 10s.
That song didn’t come out until '98. I guess Marty could play it, and they could change the name of the band leader to Marvin Semisonic.
some morally unpleasant punching-down bullying
Weird way to describe his attempted sexual assault on Lorraine.
Imagine you went to a football game and bought a serving fries. They come in a little clay-lined paper dish. The clay lining in that dish resists small amounts of oil for about 30 minutes, but after that time is up, the oil will penetrate through, soaking the dish and possibly staining your clothes.
The manufacturer could’ve used a plastic lining instead. It’s more resistant for much longer, and is still food-safe at reasonable temperatures. Is the choice of clay over plastic unethical? Or is it reasonable to pick a cheaper, more recyclable material with the assumption that it won’t take most people a full 30 minutes to eat their fries?
Different things have different purposes and need to meet different standards. “Breakable” vs “durable” isn’t an objective measurement of quality.
There’s absolutely a kind of person that does that. My ex’s father bought three vacuum cleaners because they were on a good sale and he figured someone he knew would need a vacuum eventually.
Do you know how many women have been raped in female prisons by men claiming to be trans at their trial?
Many, many fewer than have been raped by guards in those prisons. Those same guards that should be preventing the exact type of crime you’re describing.
This is a prison reform problem, not a “trans people exist” problem.
I’m hoping this means they legalize over-the-counter ephedrine again. I was a skinny little speedfreak back when I could pop three of those per day.
We don’t need self-driving trucks for this. This is already how intermodal shipping works: a driver picks up a container and takes it to a rail yard, it gets loaded onto a train, and then when it gets near enough to where it’s going, another driver takes it from the rail yard for final delivery.
The reasons for not doing intermodal are the same as not being able to do self-driving trucks: oversize loads, document-controlled shipments (haz-mats, for example), and mixed deliveries along a route. Almost everything else could be put on a train, but it would take some infrastructure upgrades and likely unattainable levels of cooperation from shippers.
In my state vehicles need to be re-registered every two years.
My state won’t let you register a car that has a check engine light on. So, yeah, checkmate.
Literally, their pitches have amounted to, “We’re going to create massive unemployment” and “we’re going to kill everyone.” And they’re absolutely shocked that the public opinion is against them?
