That’s a shame. Maybe there’s something similar around for other areas. I can’t remember where I heard about it, but their presence in the stores is somewhat obvious, with a sign telling you about the app.

“Sub round egg”. Those three words will change your life.

If it’s available in your area, I can not recommend the Flash Foods app enough. Participating stores submit inventory they would otherwise throw out and it’s marked down to at least half of, then set aside in a designated spot in the store, usually by customer service or self checkout. You buy it on the app, go to…

I like my mashed taters super smooth, so this would be great for me if it weren’t for one thing: lacking a dishwasher, I fucking haaaate cleaning my strainer. I never feel like it’s fully clean, and if I use too much pressure it starts to shred my sponge, so I avoid using it as much as possible with things that can…

But as long as the shell does not crack, the egg is safe to use. (If your egg does crack, throw it out.)

While you mention checking out your local library, it bears mentioning that you should check your state/province/region’s policies. I recently learned that here in Ohio, as long as you reside in the state, you are allowed to get a library card to ANY public library in the state, not just your municipality. With that…

It doesn’t give the government the ability to control net traffic, it prevents ISPs from controlling it. And the fight to maintain net neutrality literally happened while Trump was president.

How much it does or doesn’t cost them is always inexorably linked to how good or bad it is for everyone else.

Honestly, the “calzony” is way better than it has any business being. I mean, not as good as a calzone from a good pizza place (but what is?) but still pretty good for what it is, which is cheap.

Sometimes it’s just a craving issue. Everyone once in a while I want that greasy Pizza Hut nostalgia, even though I know I can get something much better for a little bit more money. Same with Little Caesar’s. It just reminds me of my parents stopping there to pick up lunch/dinner after a Little League practice on a…

If my landlords had installed a smoke alarm in the hallway outside the bedrooms, it would also be in the hallway to the bathroom, and no more than about 6 feet from the entrance to the kitchen next to the stove/oven. In every location in that hall it would be closer to the oven or bathroom than it would be to a bed.

I don’t know how it would be possible to enforce, but what would really help people out is if you could get overtime pay if you work 40+ between multiple employers—especially one of them is a welfare dependent company like Walmart. Maybe something that could be filed with your taxes where you get paid retroactively…

I can’t wait to see him sue (he won’t). He’ll lose, and it will just be more fuel for his anti-Semite friends to talk about how Jews control everything. Because these people are fucking morons.

I honestly had no idea this was in use for ticketed entry in Cleveland. Frankly, the lines actually move quickly enough, especially now that you don’t have to empty your pockets to go through the metal detector (somehow what’s in your pockets is okay, but they still have to search purses and bags). I went to four…

I live in northeastern Ohio. I would LOVE to have someone come fill my tank for me, especially in the winter. I would be less against it if the stores would take the savings and pass it on to the customer, or hire more employees in other areas, but the only reason for it is to save them money. That’s ignoring the idea…

I like that they gave Thor the bad wig he wore before Stan Lee cut his hair in Ragnarok.

This whole entire article and conversation is about self checkout, i.e. people doing it for free.

Until I see evidence in real life of a fully automated grocery store cashiers, someone has to check out people’s groceries. If someone has to do it, that someone should be someone who is being paid.

That people are meant to do other things is an odd argument to make in favor of... other people doing those same things for free.

Nope, that original redditor from years back had it right. Self checkout is anarchy. My only hope is that it can wreak enough havoc to slow/halt the installation of these, so that customers are no longer letting stores off the hook for having to pay employees by doing the job for free.
