Shit! I was going to say that Eggs were the one exception to prove the rule, because I didn't want to sound absolutist. So .... damn, there isn't ANYTHING that wasn't just jacked up because the cartels like money?

Even those gas prices -- we never saw when Oil costed more per barrel years ago, and they didn't get that gas tax taken off -- so, it was mostly a money grab.

The fact that it is also happening around the world just means these multinationals are coordinating. They just raise prices, the media points to a bunch of things, and the fact that the people who raised the prices own most of the media doesn't get on the evening news. The masses go "baaa baaa" and blame the fact that they had the temerity to ask for a raise after over a decade.

No…. I’m saying That the laws of physics don’t allow us to distinguish between the two substances.
It’s like when men look at two things that appear to be the same shade of yellow, but really they are different shades of yellow. (Men are less able to discern differences between shades of yellow than 1/3rd of women who have more yellow cones in their eyes)

>State officials testified that Eckstrom ignored auditors' years long warnings of a "material weakness" in his office and flawed cash reporting.

​

He was ignoring the audits. Which makes me wonder even more, honestly. And the auditors should have escalated this if the guy was obviously ignoring their warnings for years - to the Lt. Governor, and the Governor at least. And the SC Secretary of State, etc. EVERYONE should have been on the line for this - hell, they should have notified the SC State Assembly! This is a failing on multiple levels where the Comptroller fails, but everyone else who refused to press the issue also failed.

​

I'm suspicious of "The Buck Stopped with Eckstrom" statement, no one is asking why the auditors didn't continue to escalate this up the chain of command until it was resolved.

I’ve played enough Arkham City to know about explosive gel

Rather than address how difficult it is for current generations to survive in our society, we use another band-aid rather than address the root cause of high cost of living.

I would have escalated this and continued to escalate this as far as I could so that it would never have come back down - shit rolls downhill. I'm assuming you have detailed documentation of every conversation you had with the Wigs to prove you told them? They love to ignore shit until something bad happens, then they look for scapegoats so they don't take the heat for their sloth. If you're not doing that I suggest you start doing it, CYA. I work for a major corporate conglomerate and you'd better believe I do it every single day. The crap I find all the time out there that would mean being terminated and blackballed if it was ever blamed on me is staggering, but execs and managers just get transferred to a new section so they can screw that one up too - the Good Old Boys Club in action.

I won't tell you where I work but I will tell you I'll never fly on an airplane ever again. I've seen the decisions made around here by execs who don't understand anything about what's going on and I don't trust that the same decisions are being made about aircraft components. You couldn't pay me enough to fly anymore.

Both are equally applicable

So what you're saying is they paid through the nose for shitty tech with problems like that, that haven't been fixed, and so the ultimate solution is ban peanut butter. Wonderful work.

In 40+ years in the IT industry both in the military and the private sector, I have NEVER seen a "bug" in a program that would do that to this degree. In every case it's been PEBKAC. People love to blame the computer but it's operator error, every single time. Error or malfeasance that they'll try to blame on the computer as an escape route to avoid prison time.

Imagine being the intern they tricked with the job of “make sure the dead guy hasn’t come back yet.”!

Does your boss give you a grade? Yeah, it's called firing your ass if you can't do it.

I also lol'ed at the thought that colleges eliminating grades is anything other than at attempt to make more money. No grades, no cost to mark assignments, no failing out, these are all ways to increase profits.

I'm gonna bring a block of tar and break their minds.

Imagine if he did actually get resurrected only to die again in cold storage. All because stick dude didn’t check him every day.

>"The guy didn't resurrect because resurrection isn't possible."

Not with that attitude.

It's a paste. Unless you melt it, you can't pour it. You don't need to melt a liquid to pour it.

Hah! That’s hilariously amazing. New one to me. Edit: after some thought… one reason you can’t have water is because there are explosive components that look very similar to water. But they don’t freeze. So if your water is frozen then it can’t be a liquid component of an ied.

How do we do this with jesus? Isnt he supposed to be coming back on easter? Somebody film it.

Smh is right

Maybe it's an explosion deck?

I can see that. The coating on the cards and the type of paper stock probably make for a nice organic looking orange brick on the X-ray, like a brick of Semtex

TSA: You have to dump out that water.

Also TSA: Ice cubes? You're good to go!

Yep. If your pastor doesn't own a private jet and a Ferrari, god doesn't care about you.
