My government teacher in high school took our class to a Herman Cain rally. It was… interesting. Towards the end of his campaign, so it was in a BBQ restaurant that had a stage for bands and maybe 50 people were there total. I don’t remember much about it, other than it was hard to hear because we were in a restaurant that was still playing music in the other room. I believe you’ll have a very different experience tonight lol

It’s probably guns. That guy who shot all those people at the music festival in Vegas snuck a small arsenal into his room and they didn’t notice until the shooting.

I’m glad the new owners decided to increase rodent pest control, leading to less food for stray cats to eat in the area.

But you don’t carry the sign with you. It stays at the shelf. Sure, they could build a system that tracks you everywhere in the store and marks what price they showed you and tells the register what price to display when you check out. They’ll try all that, but this won’t do it yet.

Yeah, I’m not actually that worried. I’ve seen these in use at hardware stores for quite a while now. It’s just useful to assume that Walmart is planning to fuck you over. That’s a good point with BT though, many of the kind of microcontrollers that would be used for this sort of thing offer BT connectivity as well.

As long as you have a free market and not a coordinated one it will work out great for you guys too

Ah, so we’re fucked

There’s not really a way to do that with this technology. These are just price tags on the shelf, so if they changed the price it would change it for everyone in the store.

The deductible is an amount that you pay out of pocket before insurance starts covering anything. So if insurance doesn’t get billed, the money doesn’t count towards the deductible. This may make it difficult to lower the bill at all, it really depends on how much the entire bill is compared to your deductible. If you can’t pay it though, they’ll have to give you an affordable payment plan. Definitely negotiate and don’t take a loan out from some other source to cover.

Well that’s the strongest argument for making a Bluesky account that I’ve heard

I don’t know the ins and outs of the ADA, but I disagree with your analogy. What Starbucks is doing is akin to Walmart charging a different price for milk and oat milk, which I don’t think anyone would say is not allowed. It’s not like there’s a sheet of lactose you have to walk through to get into a Starbucks or anything, there’s just things on the menu that people with some food allergies can’t order.

Holy shit, they really buried the lede with that headline. For sure, throw away the key.

If you make your way up to Fajardo, Seven Seas Beach is beautiful. The House of Pastelillos is right next to the beach, had some great drinks and pastelillos. Kalizo was right up the street and had amazing seafood.

Sandra Farms Coffee was a trek to get to, but the tour was literally just the group of 4 I was with and some of the best coffee and chocolate I’ve ever had.

Make sure to try the rum cocktail pouches, they’re literally everywhere lol. It’s a gorgeous island with great people, you should have a great time. Just googling around we found more swimming holes than you could count a short hike away from some random road, especially around El Yunque.

I didn’t know he had a new album coming out. Now I do. And now we’re all talking about it. That’s all they’re looking for, more people discussing it so it’s back of mind when it actually drops.
