Or it turns out you accidentally left caps lock on, and now you’re locked out for a few minutes.

They did point out that they believed the food to be safe in the restaurant.

They might have thought everything was above board, but it turned out to not be the case.

1. Naked wrestling…

That just sounds like a euphemism for sex, not an alternative.

Even if you were 100% perfectly committed, there would be all sorts of little signals and things that would leak out enough for them to adjust pricing accordingly. The kind of clothes you’re wearing, the time of day you’re shopping at, your gait, expression, etc.

Even if you were able to perfectly exclude all information about you, it’s possible to gather data from the hole that you leave behind. You aren’t leaving data behind like a lot of other customers, so that would probably make you either old, or privacy-inclined. You’re not buying the same things as an old person, so you’re not old, and you can pick it up from there.

That doesn’t mean that they would have power over the policy, though. They might just get policy that they’re expected to carry out, no questions asked.

That’s… it? You can get knighted for being “fairly good” at your job for half a decade, and then quitting?

Yes. Knighthood is generally up to the whims of the monarch. Although to make it there, it’s generally expected you have an achievement significant enough to be befitting of one.

But from what I recall, there’s little stopping his majesty from conferring a knighthood onto Chief Mouser Larry for his research into the napping suitability of 10 Downing Street’s furniture, if he wanted to do that.

Is there a Wrong Dishonourable title?

Anyone know how skipping breakfast contributes? It seems like it would do the opposite.

No auto-knife is complete without a Singlcldpy

The loophole is that they aren’t paid that amount in maximum wage anyway. The actual wage is some degree of modest. They just get paid in bonuses and stock options, which don’t count for one reason or another.

Also that housing is now an investment commodity, like stocks.

Why would anyone sell if they can just hold onto it and basically get free money, with maybe a bit of rent on the side?

Or just using it to store money safely in something that reliably appreciates.

The box what goes bang if you poke it wrong.

The computer is inaccessible, and if you did that, the best way to fix it, while also avoiding any other potential issues stemming from that, is just to reinstall the thing.

In this case the oil is silicone oil, and while it performs amazingly and is totally inert and harmless it sets a lifespan for the pan. Once the oil is depleted, the pan is worthless.

Could you not re-oil the pan like you do with steel and iron pans?

Enough. One screen may cost $5, but if it replaces 10 - 20 15¢ buttons, that’s still worthwhile.

Especially since there would be labour cost savings installing buttons, and not having to spend time installing spacers replacing those buttons for different trims, when they can just do it all in one screen, and fold it into the infotainment system install cost.

Sort of? Past a certain income level ($97 kAUD), you pay an additional levy (1 - 2%) on your taxes for the public system (which goes into supporting it), but otherwise can access it for relatively low cost/free if you’re a citizen, in an insurance-like system (if you go to a place that doesn’t do it automatically, but still qualifies, you can get a rebate).

You can avoid paying the tax if you opt for private health insurance, and don’t use the public system altogether.

Neither of them are tied to employment, although some employers do offer health insurance as an extra addition in pay package bundles, like they do with cars and things.

Also that the alternative was burning cities with the people still in them, and they’d seen that, which was have been more horrifying and slow than a nuclear conflagration.

It’s also indiscriminate and persistent, so you could have medics and things caught in the crossfire, even if they arrive afterwards, and weren’t the intended targets.

Particularly in some areas where you might have a community whose most technological device was a tractor a few short years ago, a bunch of developers show up, throw money at them, and they’ve basically time-travelled into the future when they decide to use that money to go on a trip.
