How? 1) New jersey operates on corruption. 2) The people who ran that place were masters of that environment. 3) marketing. 4) bigger families and like 14% interest on mortgages. The idea of being down one kid maybe didn’t seem so bad. If they made it out, well they did a lot of growing up that day. 

It was the canonball. And it wasn’t sewer pipe. It had a lining and everything. But it was the darkest place you had ever been and if you got on the one that was right angled turns you got pummeled pretty good. I suspect lots of kids found out they were claustrophobic on that one. Some probbaly weren’t before.

You thought it was cold. Then they opened the alpine springs portion or whatever it was. Oh. My. God. I swear they refrigerated that shit.

I’ve been there while it was up there were lines of people lining up for it, and some of those people in line were people I arrived with.

I will bet you they don’t even capture all the things that went on there. The place was simultaneously great and terrifying. 

The big vertical speed slide.. yeah I saw your mom there too. As did like 100 other 10-15 year olds.

The alpine slide was always made of concrete. you can go look up videos of people riding it on youtube and see it. It was a very fine aggregate concrete but definitely concrete.

Hmm except unlike the android ecosystem where the likes of samsung put out multiple new devices a year instead of one, you get functioning support and updates for longer, thus giving you the option of holding onto a phone longer and having it work properly.

Overnight it ruined an SSD by update and reboot. Uhh .. no. The drive likely failed because of some defect with it. Overnight simply isn’t enough time to do enough stuff to it to hit it’s end of life due to use. Your evidence that it wasn’t defective is in fact likely evidence the drive WAS defective.

Emphasis on some. Like the use of decent disposable plates as plate cushioning. That’s a solid idea price wise and not necessarily obvious. Bagging and labeling cables though... not wrong, but should be obvious.

Thanks, that makes a lot more sense. Because as posted, the writing had me wondering if there was anyone in the story doing anything in an order that made any kind of sense.

People are very often misdiagnosed with migraines. If some blue-blocking lenses are helping, it’s probably not migraines, it’s probably a tension headache due to eye strain. Of course that may turn into a migraine. For me it was one of the primary triggers of actual migraines.

That’s a long way to prattle on about a bunch of bullshit that is basically “wah wah” and wrap it around a wish that we kept the gold standard without actually recognizing the problems of the gold standard. It was breaking down.

Probably just a drunk who is a raging asshole at heart. Alcohol increases the exhibition of punishment suppressed behaviors. I.e. you don’t give crap about the consequences of your actions. The Jekyll and Hyde is probably just a matter of how much drinking in the workplace was going on.

No actually it would not be child porn. Simple nudity is not enough to make it child porn in most instances, and ill fitting clothing definitely isn’t.

Nobody was using a bunch of guys with shovels 20 years ago. Nor were they 30 or 40 years ago. The skidsteer was born in 1954. The backhoe was invented in 1947. Short of occasionally driving by prison labor as a kid, I haven’t seen anyone throw a bunch of bodies at hard physical labor outside of roofing.

Who cares if the cheap stuff is monetary policy related. your purchasing power is your purchasing power.

In profile, yes.

It isn’t a lenient sentence, it’s reduced bail.

That’s from 2014. So for example, the 500 still fails the small overlap horribly. The ford explorer on the other hand went from poor to moderate for the driver. so at lest ford decided to add a welded on strike plate to divert the impact. Fiat said... nahhh. That’s despite doing such things for other FCA vehicles even…
