I'm fine with a bailout as long as we take the appropriate share of the company along with it. And once we own it, there's no more turning people away either since you've already turned your company into a state asset.

It won't help beers but I wouldn't mind the wide scale reintroduction of decanters to the modern age. I have accumulated a few since I've been of drinking age and they all feel fancier than pouring from the bottle.

My goto response is always "who knows?" Like it's a mystery for the ages, and I'm just as puzzled. That implies I'm just as confused as her and then we can both just keep watching.

Ya know what's crazy? I got a Steam link when it became available and it barely worked because my computer and router sucked more than I realized at the time. Then last year someone made a video about it and said how awesome it was and I remembered I had it and plugged it in.

They were right! It still works great, and since I've upgraded everything since then, I now know my computer was the bottleneck back then. I'm curious what new features a new Steam link could add to make it worth a whole new device at this point.

They don't unless you have a good contract with them and even then it's dependent on zones and package size.

Fun fact: USPS acknowledges that our US territories are domestic while UPS and FedEx treat them as international. So its a little more of a chore and cost to ship to Puerto Rico and the like through anyone but USPS from the 50 states.

It isn't really.

We don't, unless it's alot of food. So much food in fact that the equivalent sized package would cost more than $10.50 for USPS to take 3+ days to deliver.

I love USPS but this whole thread makes people look like they've been huffing markers all afternoon.

Not just same day, same hour. That 1/3 cost comes with a 50x delay.

I won't say "good", but there are few more deserving.

I came here looking for this comment.

There's some rights and privileges granted to minors at 15 or 16, about driving and working. Age of consent tends to hover around 17 or 18 aside from a handful of states.

Edit: LOL @ the downvote.

 

I've noticed that every product I've bought in the past year with a zip-lock seal is destroyed with common use. I actually think the zip-lock itself has gotten stronger. The bag rips before the seal opens on half the bags now and whenever I try to opens bags I had no issues with before, I find myself stretching/warping the plastic before the seal eventually opens.

It's pretty frustrating and I am seeing it across many products. Cheese bags, storage bags, snacks etc...
