As someone who can speak Korean, Hangul is much better but it also does not perfectly reflect the way it’s pronounced unfortunately. On the surface it appears so at first, but because there are numerous sound change rules most things you read will be pronounced slightly differently than they’re written in real usage. Still though it’s better than what English does.
You’d probably have them only stop by when you’re out, and you’d be out of the house most of the day anyway. You’d just be alone. But imagine there always being snacks and drinks, and you can eat any food just by ordering it, and being able to invite people over whenever you want without worrying about them making a mess. It’d be a fine situation even for introverts.
Receipts have a time stamp, so they’d have a record of the actual price you paid. If you paid in cash and didn’t get a receipt, and if they make an exception for your return, they’d base it on when you said you bought it. You might be able to get one or two exceptions depending on who’s working. With that said you’d better make a purchase of thousands of dollars and pay in cash to make sure to get at least a few dollars back for your efforts.
I’ve used one of those before at an airport and it worked exactly as you say. I think it was just for boarding though. I just walked forward and when I got to the front, they greeted me by name and I got on the plane. I don’t remember having to show my passport or boarding pass that time either (but it was last year so I may have forgotten).
I’ve done my best to summarize them here with my opinions, but the article is also a quick read.
AB 1013 - bars and clubs must offer reasonably-priced or free drug testing kits.
Excellent to deter people trying to spike someone’s drink. If you’re worried, just get a quick test without having to even leave the bar.
AB 12 - caps residential security deposit at 1 month’s rent, or 2 month’s rent if the landlord owns no more than 2 residential rentals with no more than 4 units.
A+
SB 244 - requires manufacturers of electronics/appliances over $50 to provide product parts/tools/instructions to repair devices.
A+ Louis Rossmann’s dream?
SB 478 - requires all mandatory fees/charges to be stated up front (no undisclosed fees such as in concert/sports tickets or lodging).
Curious what the companies will do to get around this, but it’s a good start and I think should lead to a decrease in prices overall as companies have to compete through advertising.
SB 553 - employers must record violent incidents and have training on violence prevention.
They didn’t have to before?
AB 28 - 11% tax on firearms/ammo.
This goes toward the “Gun Violence Prevention and School Safety Fund” which I googled and found out it goes to programs to help prevent gun violence and enhance safety at school, as well as mental health services. Overall this seems like a good thing if it works.
SB 274 - public schools with a student in “willful defiance” can’t suspend/expel them, but must implement intervention programs and support for those students.
I guess this is good too?
AB 230 - public schools must provide free menstrual products in school bathrooms + more instruction from grade 3+.
Makes sense, because kids can start their periods from 10~ but some earlier.
Way too much RNG since too much depends on what I ate. I’ll probably stick to Flush Any% until the update.
Major League Eating said that it had gone “to great lengths in recent months to accommodate Joey and his management team, agreeing to the appearance fee and allowing Joey to compete in a rival unbranded hot dog eating contest on Labor Day,” but that they’d been unable to come to an agreement.
Lol this is hilarious because I still remember what Major League Eating did to Kobayashi in 2010, but with Joey they’re bending over backwards to accommodate him and still lose. Serves them right and hopefully they’ll lose a lot of money over their poor treatment of their talent.
He’s the USA’s most fearsome being.
He’s a werewolf in a high school, and a teen.
It’s like trying to end an ant infestation by just spraying your kitchen table.
Captain Beefheart. I get his performance was part of an act, but if you don’t take it all as a joke the music is pretty terrible to listen to. As a joke though it’s hilarious.
Give me a pack of Red Vines and a large popcorn with a blueberry ICEE please.
The Fallout show was so much fun. Looking forward to the next season.
俺様はヘビも飛行機も大嫌いだ！
They made a movie about that once with Tom Hanks. Guess these companies never watched it 😏
Whenever I get really sick, which happened with Covid, this happens to me but not for every single food. Just a lot of food tastes rotten. Fortunately the last time it only lasted for about 5 days. The worst is anything with vinegar in it, which so many foods use in small amounts (sauces, etc.) but becomes inedible.
Water? You mean like in the toilet?
I already said who!
Now imagine working for two hours and then having to eat a Big Mac.
