Rookie mistake, you forgot to take the meat off and bleach the bones. Sure, it’s a lot of work, but a glass vase full of chicken bones is a time-honored legacy.

Unsolicited naked pics have no place in society. We’re not talking porn here, we’re talking Joe sending a picture of his schlong to Mary like she is going to be ohh yeah let’s do that.

People with that mindset are seriously damaging other people. They’re the reason women are afraid to go on walks at dusk.

The penalty for that deserves some staying power. You’re on the list; to get off the list, you need counseling and a psych eval. I’d go so far as to say mandatory house arrest until you get the counseling and eval.

pshaw, this is amateur

That’s the real juice.

Would have been a bag of Doritos probably can’t say that I remember for sure.

I got pulled over in the 90’s for eating a bag of chips. I never left my lane, but every time I reached over into the passengers seat I would swerve a little.

It was late afternoon. I saw the cop behind me. I was doing the speed limit, but he was kind of close. I just figured he’d go around at some point. no lights, no siren. Finally, BULLHORN: PULL OVER.

K, so I pull over. Driver gets out and stays by the door hand on weapon, Passenger walks up to my drivers door, license and reg, yada yada. Have you been drinking? no. Why didn’t you pull over? I just did. Why didn’t you pull over back after the stoplight when we turned the lights on? What lights?

He looked back. No forward lights on.

Ohhh shit… umm he’s a trainee… Look, we pulled you over because you were swerving a bit

Ahh, sorry, I was starving points at chip bag

oh, ok, just be careful.

A lot of places park people who can’t cut it doing the actual work in the project in project management roles instead of moving them on. They think, ohh they have intimate knowledge of the project and the working parts they’ll be great.

It happens a lot for regular management as well.

A properly trained, proficient project manager can get more done with less people, defuse situations before they happen and cool the jets of higher ups making unreasonable demands.

Of course, some places are just shitholes run by assholes to which none of this applies.

Bluetooth speaker with a coil instead of a speaker?

Am I not allowed to ponder it? I’ve never seen anyone doing it. The second some jackwagon was able to change the price on a gas station sign with a flipper it was hot news.

Turned out to be a neat rabbit hole.

acceptable or funny?

didn’t say acceptable or funny

I just wondered it.

I’m honestly shocked this doesn’t happen.

It looks like they’re SubG. The lock signal broadcasts on the buried line, and at least in the one manual I found, they can also lock all, lock all in a lot, and optionally lock singles via serial number (there’s an inventory system). There’s a directional handheld device that can be used within a couple of feet of an affected cart.

Hey, how do I do X

I didn’t ask. I’ve been doing electronics for decades, I own enough equipment to listen to the signals and create them if they work like I suspect they do. It’s a shower thought, I have no intention of doing it, well now that we’re all spicy here about it, I kinda want to try as a proof of concept.

I’ve never seen it done, was just pondering

One of the proposed features is locking the cart if someone is about to walk out without paying.

The cost of the RF locking wheels isn’t far off the price of a replacement cart. (Not to mention the investment in digging up the entire outline of the lot burying the line.

Yeah, I just watched a youtuber take apart a modern one. Found the maker and the manual for the system. Then watched some more people taking the system apart (including the one you linked)

Neat stuff:

• Looks like it’s <9 Khz signals (7.2khz in the one I looked up), at that frequency, you can do a replay attack using your phones speaker from 0 distance.

• the electronics in the wheels are potted, including the battery so they’re disposable at EOL.

• Apparently, the unlock signal is just an inverted lock signal. Easily detectable.

• Their system has the ability to lock/unlock all carts, only the carts left in the parking lot overnight.

• One of the features available is for them to identify and freeze a particular cart if it doesn’t go through a checkout.

It should be more appropriately labeled Junk Food. Everyone’s trying to make it sound official and it just ends up more vague.

If we were eating Seafood, Chicken, Beef, Vegatables, Salads and Whole Grains, we’d live longer.

In the end, we need to stay away from non-naturally occurring carbs and refrain from mixing naturally occurring carbs with tons of fat/salt to make them more palatable.

Muffins, Doughnuts, French Toast, Submarine Sandwiches, Pizza, Pasta, all have to be super portion controlled, we we just don’t seem to have that kind of willpower.

Yeah, it’s turtles greed all-the-way down.

The commercial real estate market, of all things, should be able to self-regulate. A property sitting empty is losing them tax money, get too many shuttered businesses together and the property value drops.

Few things market-correct in these late-day capitalism hellscapes, but commercial property either corrects or gets bulldozed and bought by someone who corrects (and maybe rezones) it. Sometimes it just takes a decade or so.

True, to an extent. But the price of a pound of hamburger at the grocery store has gone up relatively equal to inflation.

In a lot of places, minimum wage has raise 3x to when it originally was. But they’re paying this wage bumps off and just a handful of sales.

Commercial real estate is probably up about 3x from where it was when we were eating $4.75 bodacious bacon cheeseburgers from Roy Rogers

I think, pretty much, we’re looking at disproportionately high real estate costs and greed.

I absolutely agree with all those points and I’m glad self-check oot exists, however… When you stand in line for 10 minutes at the hardware store to get up to one of four kiosks, and something scans as an invalid UPC. Now you’re waiting for one cashier that servicing four registers. Or you’re at Target and there’s only four self checkouts open. Zero regular lanes and you’ve got a cart full of groceries You’ve just spend an hour curating. Each one of those checkouts is able to handle about two bags.
