I often open the fridge to find it packed with vegetables, fruits, eggs and other healthy ingredients. I then close the fridge, about 2 minutes later, still empty-handed and still hungry, saying aloud to myself and to whoever will hear…

This may just be a side-effect of the insurgence of new POS systems and customer-facing systems. Many of the newer POS systems were first developed with the hospitality industry in mind. In those cases, tipping is on by default. These POS s

Most POS systems do not charge per transaction, neither by count nor dollar amount. It’s usually an upfront or flat monthly fee, based on number of terminals, level of service and feature set.

I agree. But I optimistically believe that decline will soon experience a renaissance. We’re gonna start declining again. We’re gonna decline so much. We’re gonna decline at every level. We’re gonna decline economically. We’re gonna decline

Well some ancient ape’s “clones” have already spread around and multiplied uncontrollably. Who’s to stay that this one’s won’t either?

This whole thread is equivalent to two people on opposite sides of the Earth arguing about whether the sun will be rising or setting. Just go buy some sunscreen already.

There are absolutely risks, but not to the degree that op's comment suggests. If one is worried about a microdose, then one can choose to start with 1% of a microdose (or whatever minimal amount one can accurately measure) and then mov

And thus exercise “messes” with your brain as well. For consistency, you should probably steer clear of that too.

Most “walkability” scores either directly or indirectly account for crime. For instance, residents rate walkability and are specifically asked to consider crime and safety. Or, conversely, walkability is measured based on the number of actu

Nah, you can’t subscribe to death. But…long, deep and recurring sleeps on the other hand…only to be jolted awake for another arduous day of boring existence until you pay the meter to be put back to sleep. Now that’s a profit stream

This is very interesting. Similar to a path I almost went down with some partners, but it fizzled due to too many unknowns and lack of energy to research them. Would you be willing to expound on your arrangement? Either here or privately. I

No sugars might have been better said as “less sugars” for the pedantic amongst us. Never said there was no mechanical cleaning. But they certainly didn’t have our “advanced” toothbrushes, toothpastes and mouthwashes. In fact, I’d say “mech

There’s good (and bad) bacteria all over our bodies. Our skin is coated with them and needs to be coated with them. Without the good ones on our skin, bad ones take over, and then any cuts become more likely to get infected. I’ll update lat

You jest but you’re wiser than you realize, especially if you include a diet change as part of the driver. Good diet (no sugars) and avoidance of broad-spectrum bactericides will allow good bacteria to thrive, pushing out the bad smelly one

Haha clever, and I guess this technically counts as living “on” Pluto, albeit a deconstructed Pluto.

Whether it’s acknowledged or not, “real” nature is all around us, everywhere, in a way that Pluto could never mimic unless of course humans magically terraformed it into existence, or some illusion of it. It’s odd how easily we forget the s

So many complaints about the headline, but for the purpose of getting their point across to the masses and encouraging the use of as-secure-as-can-be-known software, it’s perfectly fine. If you cover your ass in a headline, which ultimately
