    Weather

    You do realize global warming doesn't mean everything gets warmer 100% of the time, right? Anyways, this weather sucks. Negative degrees not even counting windchill ;/

    Retail Apocalypse aka The E-Commerce Thread

    The biggest concern for these companies is fear of lawsuit. All it takes is one employee to think they are Dog the Bounty Hunter and you risk lawsuit by the thief if they are injured, or the employee, or some other legal technicality that violated someone's rights. Like any company, they weigh...

    Pretty much this. "Wisdom of the crowd" doesn't really help you with thinks that rely heavily on personal preference. I look at a Yelp/Trip Advisor review for a restaurant and you see overwhelming "omg this place so good", then you go there and it is mediocre at best to me maybe. It ends up...

    They changed the assault rifles so their rounds drop off damage wise the farther out they go. Not sure why they kept 8x compatible with the AK, since I believe they removed it from the other assault rifles.

    More vehicles/less fuck you terrain would help on the new map. Like the ruins...pretty sure there are no vehicles spawns within a km of that place. Even the new military base is sort of a fuck you vehicle wise. If they want to keep those like that, then make them have godlike loot so it is a...

    One near me changed their system so it is virtually impossible to self ring large orders. You scan item then immediately put it into a bag. No belt and no room for carts. Cuts down on thievery I am guessing.

    Binary systems don't work. Even Siskel and Ebert had some variability (1 up, 1 down). Fresh or rotten essentially erases that average middle ground. Something can only be good or bad, there is no okayish or passive rating. On a 1-10 system, 1-3 should be shit, 4-7 should be meh/ok, and 8-10...

    Self-checkout is faster if the self-checkee ahead of you isn't a dumbfuck. I always hate it when I go to the grocery store, they only have 2 lanes staffed /w people and both have long lines, then the self-checkouts lines are full of incompetent dumbfucks who are acting like cavemen who...

    Also depends on the line. Clothing tends to be very fashion of the month dependent. If you are considered passe, then you start to do worse. Case and point: Abercrombie and Fitch.

    Service Merchandise in the States. They were around in the 80s and early 90s, same business model. I can't buy shoes online. I am the pickiest bastard when it comes to that and need to wear them.

    Retail Apocalypse aka The E-Commerce Thread

    It wouldn't surprise me if the retail check outs you experienced were because of attempts to upsell high margin fluff items (warranties/credit cards/random shit). I recall having to push staff heavily on that and we weighted their performance on how much they successfully pushed long ago. Hour...

    It did give us some cool hints. The flying dragon, the centaur cop, the traffic sign that seemed to denote lizard man crossing, that one woman in the bar that had the odd eyelids (shapeshifting lizardwoman maybe? lol). Would actually be cool if it was a series...would let you build up the...

    I just watched it. I enjoyed it, would watch a sequel. There is a lot of potential with the premise and a ton of open threads they could explore.

    Flying drone for Titan? Nice, although that can't last long. What would it use for power besides batteries. Solar is out and nuclear drones would have a weight issue I am guessing that would impact flight. If it has to rely on battery stores, realistically you'll maybe get an hour or so...

    Confirms why Pats waited so long to trade him. When they realized Brady wasn't going to fall off a cliff and Jimmy wasn't going to agree to a team friendly deal, they had to snag something. Lucky for him they decided to trade him somewhere he could succeed...instead of the Browns lol

    It was just a byproduct of the Cold War, though. If there was a call to invest in non-nuclear weapon PU238 production for the purposes of space exploration, who would REEE at the cost (even though nukes would end up costing more)?

    No way. The brand/character is Dr Disrespect. That being said, I don't see anything happening streamwise until whatever is going to happen between him and his wife happens.

    Given this is his job and he supports his family with this, I doubt that was ever on the table. Plus buying a sub mostly just gets you emotes and chat privileges, so people still get a little something out of it. He was in Europe recently (Dreamhack). I wonder if it happened there.

    I think long term he will be ok streamer wise, assuming personal life doesn't go nuclear and destroys him. We don't really know anything regarding that. I used to work with a girl whose spouse cheated on them, but they ended up reconciling. Without knowing the individuals, it is really hard...

    The big problem is each president has their own grand idea and promptly guts the previous grand idea unless it is so far along that cutting funding makes no sense (and even that isnt a guarantee). It's like middle management at a company where each manager/director has their own pet project...
