*sigh* I just wish our politicians would focus on UBI, UHC, UFE and UFH. We would be orbiting Alpha Centauri by now.

Thats interesting. I was just reading What Causes Inflation and Who Profits From It? and it seems inflation is variable due to several reasons (the Federal Reserve tries to keep it around 2%). So using you as an example, how do you negotiate a raise? Is it performed annually? Otherwise it would be impossible to predict the inflation in SA over a 5 year contract?

Just to make sure Im understanding the offer, it was a guaranteed 3% raise every year for 5 years?

I didnt check all four states, but in Michigan its the law to pay overtime after 40 hours. Basically they are rejecting the 3% raise.

Interesting. Our car window defrosters dont work unless the car is running (they get the heat from the engine).

Well, Im not married to the diamond shaped blast door (its sexy but it does look extra pinchy). Blast doors that slide from the left or right, or down from the ceiling would also work. Probably the most efficient and requiring the least amount of infrastructure changes would be a blast door that comes up from the floor. We wouldnt have to reinforce any walls or ceilings.

Huh? Blast door can be dangerous if you are caught flat footed, but perhaps you are a visual learner? Here we see the hero barely making it through the closing portal. One step slower and he would have been pinched in half! Oh my!

Whaaaaaaaaaa? I always advocate for less than lethal methods...unless someone gets crushed by the blast door I guess. Sucks to be them?

Well theres still a few kinks to work out.

We should put automatic blast doors and gunshot detecting systems in every school. After a shot is detected, all doors in the immediate area slam shut and lock, and then pump the hallway full of pepper spray.

What You've Done Today - But you… have elected… the way of… pain!
Coincidentally, I just got 4 new tires for my car this weekend. All weather and rated for 65k miles, set me back $649.00 though.

Hmm, havent see @Guard Dog in a while. He must be either married or tied to a bedframe in a basement.

Food Thread - What are you eating?
Chili on Fritos sounds delicious! The cheese usually melts a little when you stir and eat it, like parmesan does on normal spaghetti.

I wonder if they will cast 2010 or 2021 Miranda's ass?

I would cut somebody for a plate of chili spaghetti right now.

Yeah, thankfully they got this one right. Their actions were utterly indefensible. Im curious if any of those charges reflect a "hate crime" conviction? It sounds like "malice murder" is higher/different than "felony murder". *casts summon: @Gromnir*
