goblin week posted:Why would you even originate a thing like this if your result is „Thomas” though. That sucks and isn’t even a proper last name The two notable American businessmen named Dave Thomas might disagree, but I'm pretty sure the answer is to encourage other people with rarer grandmother's-maiden-names to answer so you can add it to your bank security questions spreadsheet.

Check out this hot legal take: I'm having fun imagining a world in which people are obligated to complete transactions with bank notes in any condition and have no legal recourse if the notes themselves are, say, contaminated with radioactive waste or previously used to retrieve dog poop.

PhazonLink posted:tbf to the whole no cash thing, underbanking is a thing and a lot of under privliage people dont have bank accounts. According to the snopes article about that post, there are states and jurisdictions that require businesses accept cash. San Francisco is one of them. Mississippi is not. This guy in a later, less widely shared post backpedaled from "this has the force of law" to "pretty please". It sucks either way because the people on both sides of the counter in poor communities are at a higher risk of covid, at least judging by the per capita infection maps that light up in the Black Belt and the Navajo nation. Not that it matters to Mississippi senator Chad McMahan who I'm sure is posturing for partisanship points.

Just holy poo poo at the idea that claiming to have autism gives you internet cool points or something. Some people really internalized that time in 2005 they read the Wikipedia article on asperger syndrome and it seemed to tell them they were smarter than everybody else while giving them a convenient excuse for being poorly socialized.

Burger king's entire business is built around a conveyor belt gas grill. Minimum wage worker puts in frozen patties on one side, cooked patties come out the other with grill marks from the conveyer belt. Turning frozen patties into cooked ones is not the difficult-to-automate portion of this process. E: like imagine having a laundry robot who just washes your pants in the sink and can't fold.

Gross Dude posted:This is some Ayn Rand stuff. In Atlas Shrugged, John Galt keeps saying objectivism is all based on A=A but never really explains. I think the 2+2 thing is a 1984 reference. The fact that Ayn Rand may have cribbed a better author like Orwell should surprise nobody. Both of them had a grievance with the way the CPSU attempted to exert total control over the historic narrative in the USSR. Comparing this to how it's unpopular to say racist and transphobic poo poo in academia is of course just a huge persecution complex circle jerk.

I guess it's more "idiots on traditional media" but when I was a kid I somehow got ahold of a mid-60s world atlas that included an entire "races of the world" section with that whole caucasoid/negroid/mongoloid racial theory. I think the assertion was that, since the americas were settled later than asia by people who came through asia, everyone in the western hemisphere before european colonization was "mongoloid". No recollection of which race various brown people from northern africa/southern asia were supposed to be. That world atlas also had a surprisingly detailed section on space launch vehicles/ICBMs of the world for some reason that probably made more sense during the cold war/space race.

Amniotic fluid is recycled through the fetal digestive/urinary system and the bladder fills and empties repeatedly as part of development. It really is all piss in the same reductive way that "lol honey is bee barf". Bit of a jump to get from there to whatever the gently caress this is, though.

Read After Burning posted:..I would eat the Chick'n'Skin, I bet it's delicious. When I buy whole chickens I like to render the fat for cooking and eat the fried skins with a little creole seasoning on them. It's a nice treat and quite cheap if you enjoy spending time in the kitchen. One 5#-or-so chicken yields a reasonable snack for 2-3 people.
