i hadn’t thought of stealing the wheels for the aluminum. pretty good. The best one i heard of was a bank that had water dripping into it’s ceiling. Turns out some robber with a great toleration for risk decided to steal the copper gutters from the top of the bank’s building. 

You are correct that it is worth checking the Uhaul store. If it was stolen, they may have better cameras. If not, they should have the guys on tape with a clearer counter shot. And regarding whether the perpetrators were dumb, cops occasionally will admit they don’t catch all the criminals, just the stupid ones (or…

I’m sure the cameras were fine. You gotta credit the robbers for putting vaseline on the cameras, though.
; )
PSA, one can use that home improvement sprayable foam (that fills in cracks and voids) on both cameras and any outside alarms (if alarms use the old hammer and bell.)

Me when getting my 2019 miata RF (GTS package, 19" wheels) from the dealer,
“Do you guys have locking lug nuts?”
“Yes, but you don’t need em. No one steals rims anymore. People lose the lock as well.”
“okay. i want em anyway. I won’t lose the lock.”
Glad i got ‘em.

I think he just saying “why go through the trouble of making it mimic a real burger (with blood, etc.), when the target audience actually doesn’t like burgers.” The “impossible meat” product may be better when it doesn’t have to mimic another food so totally in appearance as well. It is like making a felafel, but then…

“Buy this slice of pizza that that was authenticated as not being eaten by Patrick Mahomes, by Patrick Mahomes himself! Seller will include a saliva test to find out who actually partially ate this slice of pizza. Was it another famous football player? Was it that NYC rat? The mystery is yours to solve!”
As an aside,…

Seconded. post the rant. (It’s the internet. We’re all friends here.)
; )

Speaking of keeping riff-raff away, a writer asked Prince why he stayed in Minneapolis. He reportedly replied, “the cold keeps the assholes away.”

I am also from West Virginia (morgantown), also curious about what town is tourism based economy. My guess is either Harper’s Ferry, or near Blackwater Falls, Davis, WVa.
And since i am typing this to West Virginians, let me say, “Go ‘eers!”.
(I still cheer for ‘em.)

I believe the kid’s theater meal does have some sort of candy. Also a plus, not a huge amount, but just enough, M&Ms indeed. (I couldn’t remember for certain, and the smaller drink and popcorn were the main draws for me, as well as lower price.)
I do splurge on a full box of Sno-Caps in the theater, as well, however.…

I wouldn’t mind someone following me when jogging, if only to yell out, “It’s not safe!”

I’ve heard the main issue with self driving cars is not on the highway, but city streets. I saw a similar clip once, but comparing the amount of objects on a city block compared to a highway. There were red squares (signifying people) everywhere on the city block, about 100. (there were 20 objects at most on the…

I like the mini ravioli. I’m a little fella, so it makes me feel like i am a giant when i eat them!

Yes, that gizmo could actually be a pipe bomb of some kind. Get an inclined road, roll it down, and be a mile away when it goes off. I grew up in Israel, and this object would have been treated the same way. I was told early and often to never pick up a toy from the ground, as it could be booby trapped.

Years ago i read about someone in MacWorld magazine who worked in an apple store, and was tired of just throwing out the boxes. He made every piece of furniture in his apartment out of the Apple boxes. Even his bedspread had been made from Apple boxes. (He cut the box into 2 inch squares, and tied them together with…

Remember when they had a apple or cherry pie during George Washington’s birthday (before it became president’s day), and were only charging 10 cents a pie. (Again, early 70's) The first year, people would go in with 3 dollars, come out with 30 pies. They then limited it to 10 pies, still didn’t work (McDonalds…

The organization is not punishing the abuser. The organization has a right to not employ someone who is a domestic abuser. If the result is that abuser then has financial issues, well, that is a risk when abusers have to accept when they decide to be abusive. (I wouldn’t expect my employer to keep me if i was charged…

as an aside, when it came out Adrian Peterson had used a switch on his kid, it was because Adrian himself told the mom he had used a switch, and said the kid should probably get medical attention. If i remember correctly, He explained that he had a switch used on him as a child, and really didn’t understand that using…
