If they didn’t kill everyone, it’s possible one of them would be able to prove there were no drugs and this is just racism…

Do we know anything about these people? Not names or anything but were they residents? Contractors? Employees? Randoms who just wanted to kill?

Really? When I go to the bank they have a card machine there, insert card, enter pin, teller does order and if it’s over $1000 require a state issue id also…

Except you also have to have your card/phone and know your pin. It’s actually one of the hardest places to steal from.

I have an uncle who used to do security for a major department store. This was over 40 years ago. They had an issue where entire racks of clothes were going missing. One time it was even two complete pallets, not even unpacked yet, they were received and then just missing. After the investigation they discovered a guy had clothes that looked similar to their uniform walked in confidently, released the locks on the wheels of the rack, rolled it into the back, another guy pulled up in a van, they put the whole rack in the back and drive off. He kinda looked like he belonged so no one questioned him.

The pallets, again same guy just walked into back room found a forklift, picked them up, loaded them into a rental truck and drove off.

Stealing is easy, it’s not getting greedy and being able to not get caught is the issue.

I agree with the trillionaire and billionaire comments, but I don’t understand why taking your money makes you feel like you’re stealing?

It’s like making a batch of cookies, putting them in a tin, later going back and taking some cookies out of the tin to eat.

Even more fun… Ask random unrelated questions until they break…

What was the horsepower of a 1971 horsepower?

Where did the phrase “curiosity killed the cat” come from?

What is the square root of 144?

How many moons does the earth have? (this is fun because it’s anywhere from 0 to 1 to 2 to many depending on the definition of moon of which there is no formal definition)

Bonus tip: works in haunted houses too. A zombie jumps out “I’m going to eat your brains!” just respond with a unrelated question “what is your favorite TV show?” it shifts their thoughts so much most of actors in a haunted house will break character.

How to admit you are from the Midwest without directly admitting it…😉

Some of it was probably due to being in a low volume high profit market. We had close to a 10x cost to profit ratio, and the profit per unit was 10s of thousands. Although alot of that went into R&D and quality etc.

There are tons of ways to cut cost often. Another example is one time I bought a device to detect air/gas leaks. It was 1000 dollars. I walked through our production measured the leaks, fixed them(most were push on connectors so pull off, cut tip, reinsert, typically leak was done), took about an hour. Per the sensors software saved about 175k. Also prevented my company from having to buy a new compressor for about 750k as our current one was close to the limit of what it could support.

Hold on, it’s used for sea sickness?

If that’s the case it should be allowed, maybe controlled but should be allowed. Never said something with a legimite use should be banned. Just asked what the legitimate uses were. Actually I never mentioned banning anything.

Yeah but why is it allowed at all if that’s the case?

Makes sense

Hmm interesting and makes sense.

Wait one of your fiancé? How many women are you planning to marry?

While date rap and sexual violence is horrible… Do these drugs have any real value?

Like yes they can be used for date rape but are also given anti-anxiety or ant-nausea or anything like that?

I used to be on the gross margin improvement team. Basically our job was to implement projects which reduced cost.

I don’t think a single person’s job was eliminated because of my work. I remember creating about 35 jobs. For example I had a project where I identified about $900k in potential savings per year. We had to spend $50k one time and hire an employee for about $60k per year but still saved about $900k.

Employees are cheap(even expensive ones). Simple things like hire an employee to check something at step 3 so you are not paying people to do steps 4-20 will easily pay for itself if that issue at step 3 happens enough. Like for example that’s the whole point of unit testing software. Pay someone to write tests all day everyday even at an high salary, say $150k reduces costs of tech support, reduces cost of later testing, improves value of product, increases sales etc. If you want to be negative this is value stolen from the worker. But if an employee doesn’t make you a profit, why are they a employee? Like if you pay $70k for an employee who causes $50k in revenue… Fire them and make yourself a 20k raise. Now if you pay someone $70k and they make you $700k that’s immoral…

Yeah my mother forced him to contact her when she was pregnant with my sister. My mother felt my grandmother deserved to know she was going to be a grandmother.

Funny story, there were problems with his paycheck in the military and would get checks of like 10 cents. His mother got diagnosed with leukemia and he made a deal to forgive all the unpaid wages to get out a year early to care for her. He got out, came home, found out his mother had his horse…“fixed”. He didn’t talk to her again for 10 years.

She ended up living longer than he did.

I will say he died in '99 and this occurred in the early seventies so I have no evidence. It was just what I was told and I know was definitely in the military in Vietnam so…

My dad was almost court marshelled over that. He was in Vietnam, active war time, his lieutenant thought it was a good idea to wake him by shaking him and yelling. His first reaction was to wake up swinging and punched his liutenent. They tried to charge him with hitting a superior officer but was let off as technically under military law you are not responsible for the first 5 seconds of being awake.

Eve was great as a community… Sucked as a game. That’s coming from someone with over a thousand hours.

No, misfortune for the people who depend on their products
