I think it’s a shitty move on his part. Obviously the second TV was delivered by mistake.  He got the TV he ordered.

Lol, I thought about that but figuring out how to optimize your life is quite different from figuring out how to make others pay for you.

Yes I did, and if everyone did this, we’d be waiting forever in line at the gate instead of boarding the plane. In a nutshell, it’s selfish behavior and gaming the system.

Why not just show up to the airport a bit early and check your fucking bags instead of making the system work harder just for you. Checking at the gate takes people away from other jobs and can cause delays while boarding.

Let’s see, a crew experiences a problem that a passenger-pilot fixes for them and they don’t say anything about it after landing? They might as well claim responsibility for the next crew crashing. Everyone wants to blame Boeing but I wouldn’t trust those flight crews to fly me anywhere in any plane.

While I understand there are medical reconstructive cases, the majority of implants are cosmetic.  Going under a knife to put a foreign object in your body is nuts.

That’s completely unrealistic. The whole idea of student loans is the govt effectively co-signs for you. You’re advocating for a government guaranteed loan (which lenders are obviously fine with) for people with no credit and no source of income that can then be discharged in bankruptcy? You might as well just give…

Congrats!  I think the lesson is don’t borrow money if you don’t have a realistic plan to pay it back and don’t expect college to magically make you successful.

An FSA plan can bite both ways.

The other day I watch a young couple customer down at a table, looking only at their phones, they look up briefly to order, meal comes and they each take pictures of the food then back to their phones.

Just goes to show that politics and money are far more important to governments than the health of their populace.

It’s the “entitled” generation. My kids have fucking everything they could possibly want. What do they do? Complain incessantly about anything that isn’t their own idea. At some point people need to stop complaining and actually do something. Example: the pollution generated in some major cities not in the US is…

Probably because with all the big money and politics involved nothing would happen.  For once, I agree with the Cheeto.

What you’re seeing is an economy that’s changing. While I do think some of Trumps ideas (like the border wall) are stupid, I also see the China trade talks as benefitting everyone (should they actually eliminate tariffs). The other thing is the economic numbers (employment, construction, optimism) are all at or near…

You can also say that about liberals. Too many of my yoga practicing, holistic, spirit guided friends will take as fact the narcissistic, humble-bragging ramblings of their favorite “guru”. ;)

I’m more inclined to believe the box office take has a lot more to do with the competition.  As a MCU fan I was underwhelmed by Cpt. Marvel although I love Brie Larsen.

OTOH, would it be better if a hotel chain bought the land and proceeded to develop the hell out of it (plus provide a tiny bit of access to the proles)?

Depends on the review. I find it helpful to read reviews that have detail and depth.  The ones where the business responds and attempts to fix the issue tells you they take customer service seriously.

What about the idea that if you recycle (properly, of course) you get free or a reduced trash collection bill?  Money is the biggest motivator of them all.

Good riddance, I say!
