So you know, Kirkland brand tuna is made by Bumble Bee for Costco.

Over a half mile, fairly straight, no cross-traffic - you think anyone is actually going to do 35mph there? Any competent traffic engineer would know that without putting in something to enforce speed control (like speed humps) there is no way that traffic will follow that speed limit.

As someone who grew up with a speech impediment (lisp - though speech therapy has made it so other people rarely notice it these days) I can tell you it is not a great word when you do have one either :-)

Safe to eat raw cookie dough is easy enough to make yourself - pasteurized egg can generally be found at grocery stores, and pasteurizing your flour only takes a few min with a microwave (30 sec bursts, stir between, until you reach 165 degrees)

Except the lawsuit was not based on the family claiming negligence by the employer (they were in fact barred from suing the employer by the workman’s comp laws). If you read the story, the lawsuit was in fact against the owner of the Jeep - but the employer indemnified the Jeep owner - and while it is the moral thing…

Checking balance before a transaction does not assure that the money will be there when the transaction closes (another transaction could beat you to the punch and lower the balance enough so it is not longer valid). That is why you get an authorization/hold when starting the transaction so when the transaction goes…

The fact that he is working with PETA is enough for me to say F**k Him.

All assets are real, but not all assets are worth anything.

Actually, those laws were very much not written by corporate donors. In fact the businesses were very much against the Workman’s Comp laws because prior to them workplace injuries fell under common law tort cases - where the employers could bring up defenses like contributory negligence (if the employer could show…

Of course, it doesn’t really need top be anything but a cosmetic “exoskeleton” since the body compartment of a smart car is basically a steel roll cage itself.

And they have a long way to go to get that price down to $100k. Currently estimates of the Falcon Heavy (current known champion in payload cost per kilo) would cost around $85k just to get an average person to orbit. And the number is just for the person - no food, luggage, or anything of the stuff needed to get them…

And to top things off, there are some recent studies that looking at the total life cycle of corn based ethanol (especially the nitrogen fertilizers used in corn production) that not only is it not actually saving people money at the pump (due to the loss in mileage from the lower energy) but that it is worse for…

Hardly surprising that CSK was complaining about them looking at one point in the line - looking at the maps, the point that Amtrack decided to point their cameras at is past 5 of the 6 points where the lines split off to other local runs. And with the way those interchanges are set up, none of them are trying to…

I’m actually surprised it is that low. The average rate of taxi drivers getting murdered from 2003-2013 was 36.6/year (that is the most recent data I was able to find). 10/year is pretty low given the number of gig workers out there - I would love to see the current data on full time taxi drivers for the same period.

Personally I would not have picked any other song for the nomination. While “Bruno” and “Surface Pressure” are very good and very catchy songs, “Dos Oruguitas” was the emotional core of the movie. Also the technical achievement of writing and performing a song such that it actually sounds like a folk song that has…

Not only that, but the way it’s worded makes lowering gas prices nearly impossible. “The HIGHER of invoice cost vs average price of competition.”

That is why I tend to order like the old Jack in the box commercial - I want it plain - Meat, Cheese, Bun. (I do find it a little ironic that the burger they are referencing in that commercial comes with “Special Sauce” on it by default)

Reminds me of the time I ordered no mustard on a burger at an Outback grill - and they thought they could just scrape the mustard off the bun (ie you could still see the yellow tinge...) 

I hate the designers of SUV Coupes. To get their pretty little slope on the back they inevitably destroy the rear seat headroom to the point that if I have to sit in a back seat my head is in the ceiling (and if it isn’t me with my head in the ceiling, it is my best friend with his head in the ceiling)

You can heat treat the flour to pasteurize it - which would be how they are making safe to eat raw cookie dough. (easiest way is by microwave - do it in 30 sec runs, stirring each time until you hit 165F)
