Yeah, I was gonna say, they wouldn’t make it to BLTs with me.

Although, when I’m frying them I like to let them just barely start to turn red.

What I read at the time was that it was dropped because of the death threats the victim was getting.

I like the way you think.

Do you think I asked for a 10 inch pianist?

Years ago I saw an article about a robot designed to hunt and kill insects as a healthier pest control mechanism in farming. That robot would put the insects into a hopper where they would be converted to fuel to run the robot.

I figured it wasn’t going to be too long before they’d be eating us.

only if you let yourself be exploited as an underpaid protoslave

We’re from the U.S. Anything less than that would feel too foreign.

Biden could probably win by promising to resign after Inauguration Day. I think the devils we know are making the devil we don’t know look attractive.

I’m not Catholic, but can’t you just make regular jello, and then have the priest bless it?

Or it shouldn’t be a fine, but criminal prosecution for the executives responsible.

It’s worse than that. Conservatives want everything to change. Back to the early 1800’s.

You’re just not killing enough people. At some point the heirs decide to give it all away.

I’d have to hit 130.

I’m not sure there’s even that much more of this century I want to see.

The only worse choice for CEO is Chambers. She had a valid reason to just fire his ass. If he’s not willing to do what he’s told to do, then he’s not willing to do his job. It looks to me like the board wanted to get rid of him for reasons that had nothing to do with cancer. Why reference the cancer at all?

I have the feeling the only reason they didn’t just get rid of him was because of the cancer diagnosis. Trying to be “nice”. But even if the cancer was the reason for not just cutting him loose, there’s no reason to bring it up.

How does the CEO not know referencing the cancer would expose them to liability? Did they not sit down with their lawyers before sitting down with him?

Now they’re probably going to lose in court and be forced to pay him off.

They should fire Chambers.

Perhaps people on Lemmy just aren’t learning anything.

That which doesn’t kill you probably isn’t a parasitic wasp sting.

I just had the odd experience of using a manufacturer’s discount card to pick up a medication for my wife. The medication is relatively expensive and seldom covered by insurance.

According to the information on the card, if you have private insurance which covers the medication, the discount card covers the co-pay, so you pay nothing. However, if your insurance doesn’t cover the medication, the discount card covers the cost, and you still pay nothing.

Our insurance didn’t cover the cost, and we didn’t pay anything for the medication.

I don’t understand how that works.

You’re also assuming she gets 8 hours of work a day at her normal rate. It’s not like she’s salaried.

“She was turning tricks on the street. I was one of her regulars. After awhile she said she didn’t want to charge me anymore, so here we are.”

Luckily, my wife and I met in high school, so she doesn’t have to rely on me for a cover story.

No, I haven’t been conditioned into anything. 38 years of driving taught me to be able to tell what is happening because I’m aware of the road. I know I didn’t just drive off the edge of the road, because I know where the road is and I know where my tires are.

I’ve had lane assist in my truck for 2 years and I learned what it feels like. However, it’s clear that different manufacturers implemented it differently. All I can say is, it appears Honda got it right.
