For what? *I* wasn’t stupid enough to buy one of these things. I don’t know why our office bought one! I would never spend that much money on something like this either! I’m not that stupid!

Shilling implies they are paying me. They are not. I just like their juice. And the machine’s not shitty at all; it’s pretty cool. 400$ cool? I dunno. Some people pay thousands of dollars for expensive juicers. A quick look on amazon shows a bunch of juicers in that price range, so there’s clearly a market for it.

No, it’s a juicer. It uses a very specific process to get the juice. Read my other comment (which I crossposted from Slashdot where the original poster commented) regarding why it’s different.

They are bags of compacted vegetable/fruit pump. The machine uses a great deal of pressure to press the pulp to get the juice.

You are on to me! Now bring me that bag of spicy greens and I will press it right away!

While amusing, try putting a straw into a bag of greens yet to be pressed and you will be slurping clogged goop within seconds. It’s not juice until you juice it. Before that its a pulpy mess.

You are pulling the bag out of the fridge. You keep them there until you are ready to use; the juice that comes out of the machine is thus chilled.

We have one at work. The juice is very good.

But WHO does that? Who is going to stand there like a moron for a minute and a half, squeezing with all your might, to get the juice out? What if you squeeze too hard? You make a fucking mess, at work, no less, which you have to clean up. Or you squeeze too little, and you don’t get allt he juice.

You put the bag in a machine and press a button. You come back later and you have fresh juice. What’s not to like?

I’m going to cross-post this comment from Slashdot, as it does shed some light into the process. I know it’s cool to make fun of this company now, but they do seem to be doing something relatively interesting with their pressing process.

What would be nice would be an article on the best way to organize small things. I always place my keys int he same spot so I rarely lose those. My wallet, occasionally. But often I need certain things like screws or a nail for something, and those are scattered in different drawers. What’s the best way to…

I’m assuming the implication is that if the NCAA allowed players to get paid, the various schools would also have to pay folks in other sports. Except there’s not currently a huge college player base for badminton or ultimate frisbee, comparatively. So would they get paid by some guaranteed amount, or based on the…

This may fall outside the margins, but my comfort food lately is using a slow cooker to make sauerkraut and sausage. There’s a polish deli a half block from my house so I will just go there and get 1.5 lbs of sauerkraut and 1 - 1.5 lbs of polish or other sausage. Then I get a beer, preferably a stout..

You are welcome!

I think if you put that issue before a jury: “Refusing to leave your seat when unlawfully ordered by a rent-a-cop” is disruptive, you’d be hard pressed to find folks who would believe it was.

Well that’s the thing; in the article I linked to, the lawyer states that in contract law, when something is ambiguous like that (it’s unambiguously ambiguous) courts are supposed to rule against the folks who made up the contract, since it’s their fault it’s ambiguous, which means a ruling should go against United on…

True, usually. But it does happen, and if enough of those folks sue, it actually could be quite serious for United.

It is a wet Friday in March for smaller companies, but not for one as large as United. It’s supposed to be stable.

There’s a good legal evaluation of this guy’s situation here:
