His songs have pretty good pop hooks from Ryan Lewis. They make great use of featured artists (frequently black). Ryan Lewis and [insert featured artist here] could replace Macklemore with literally any white guy in Seattle, and no one would notice. Macklemore thinking he matters is like a sprig of parsley thinking…

Considering they're probably drunk, I'd say they're handling the snow pretty well.

“Yeah, well we don’t think there should be a Stacey Dash anymore!”

I want to see Corso put on a giant Bernie mascot head.

Bethesda could just make their game as good as New Vegas. Weirdness solved.

Is there any problem with this?

Fine, let’s grant, arguendo, that that’s really how much eggs cost.* There isn’t a restaurant on the planet that hands you a bill that says eggs cost $1.00 a piece (when they only cost $.03 each, according to you), and that labor costs $.49. 1. The cost is bundled together. 2. The restaurant doesn’t expect you to…

They’re not white enough. Add a white QB though? Oh yeah. They’ll do it all the right way.

Dang it. 15 cents. Not 17. And “buy” instead of “by.”

I haven’t been following the case closely. Is the problem just that the NCAA doesn’t want to let players get any compensation for a licensing agreement, or is that EA doesn’t have a single body to negotiate the license with, or is it something else? This shouldn’t be that hard to resolve.

I know they operate to make a profit. They should operate to make a profit. I want them to operate to make a profit so that they stay in business.

I don’t want them to just make up numbers if they’re going to itemize my bill. I’d rather they just didn’t itemize the bill than pretend it costs them twice as much to sell…

Man, if only there was some line on the itemized bill for the labor involved in finding the part.

If they’re billing $1/page as a way of increasing their profits, they should get sanctioned. I’d be willing to bet a firm doing that is probably doing something else shady as well.

It’d be dumb to complain about garage’s rolling in the price of convenience, storage, overhead, etc. into their parts price. But they also…

You think two eggs cost 2.5 cents? If you can by eggs at 17 cents per dozen, you should by thousands of dozens of those eggs and resell them at the commodity price of $2/dozen. https://ycharts.com/indicators/us_… You’re just making numbers up.

And my point isn’t that restaurants don’t mark things up. My point is that…

And the reason that no one thinks about the cost of eggs is that restaurants don’t insult the customer by pretending to itemize the bill.

All I’m saying is that if you’re going to itemize the bill, you should itemize the bill.

Mark-up isn’t a hundredfold. You’re pulling that number out of your ass. It’s high, but it isn’t a hundredfold, unless restaurants are somehow buying their ingredients at a price even cheaper than on the commodities markets. Live cattle, for instance, is $1.28/lb on the commodities market. A quarter pounder with…

Things like overhead, storage, convenience, etc. are reasonable. Padding your labor cost isn’t.

Which is why restaurants don’t pretend to separate the costs of ingredients and labor. Mechanics absolutely should bill for labor and overhead. But if they’re going to itemize the cost of parts, then they should itemize the cost of parts instead of inflating the cost of parts to cover labor and overhead. Either…

I know that restaurants mark things up. I also know that they are bundling the cost of the ingredients with much of the cost of labor (all of the cost of back of house labor and some of the cost of front of house labor) and overhead. If a restaurant gave me an itemized bill that said my beer cost $4 and labor and…
