That revelation should really help their business out of the jam its in.
Their burgers suck so getting gouged by them doesn't affect me. Unfortunately plenty of large corporations are on board with dynamic pricing. I mean who doesn't like extra revenue for doing nothing and adding no value to the product.

She passed them in the night, on a ship going back to Finland, because they were coming back home. They never saw each other again.

This reminds me of the Louis CK bit about a fellow passenger being bummed out by the wi fi not working on the plane. After Louis goes on a rant about this he finishes it up by saying we have the most spoiled generation in history.

Word of advice for the lurking: Never allow the women in your family to have too much information.
Yep x 100
They may mean well but most of them think that every idea they have is a great idea. By nature and profession I like to explore multiple options since the best option doesn't always immediately appear. Also many decisions are based on trade offs. The wife will latch onto the first idea that pops in to her head and consider that the best possible solution.
re: Ancestors that fought in the Civil War?
Posted by StanSmith on 10/1/26 at 10:40 pm to BluegrassCardinal
I had ancestors that fought for the Union and Confederacy. The first ancestor to arrive before the revolution settled in PA. From there the family spread out to VA at the end of the revolutionary war while others moved to MD, IL IN and OH. I discovered recently that some on my father's side were unionist sympathizers in VA and were provided with payment for livestock,horses and crops taken during the Shennadoah campaigns in 1862 and 1864. The paperwork for the repayment to two family members was found at the National Archives. Also found muster roll information on my 3x greatgrandfathers brother that showed he went to Lynchburg VA to get horses for his cavalry unit but he never reported back.
re: Tulane to restart Mech e and EE programs!
Posted by StanSmith on 10/1/26 at 5:10 pm to UnitedFruitCompany
Didn't realize Tulane was without ME and EE programs. I've worked with 2 Tulane engineers in my career. One of these two was the son of a Navy bomber pilot that flew back a shot up plane back to the USS Essex during WW2. There is footage of this plane being pushed off the stern of the ship with the dead rear gunner inside the plane. A short service was held with the chaplain before it was pushed off the deck.

On what planet would one consider bringing a beverage to an interview for a professional job??
Show up a few minutes early, properly dressed, and know something about the company and the job. I wouldn't rule someone out completely but they definitely do go very high up the list. First impressions matter.

After this goes around, will the next one be a challenge to see how many saltine crackers you can eat in a minute without water.
Did this in the early 90's at Ft McClellan with MRE crackers. If I recall it was eating 2 packs in 1 min with no water. Nobody in my platoon was able to complete. Provided some entertainment when you are bored out of your mind on annual training.

He always sits in that one hotel room chair.
Who would have ever thought that women would do things contrary to their health and future because they saw "everyone" else do it on their social media feed.
Some say his social media post were a sham. If so it was well done and great PR for the US for the Im not so sure about the US crowd in Europe. I heartily approve of the his messaging. I know alot of Europeans had a great time here and had wonderful experiences. They also realized the crap that gets spoon fed to them by there media has completely misrepresented the US people. Hopefully the impact of this dissonance between the media dishonesty and reality causes them to be more skeptical of the mass media.

Thanks for info on the latest red flag. Best steer clear from a chick who wears one of these.
