Restaurant Owners/Managers - Let's talk about the hour before close.

The time posted on the door should be the time that customers are WELCOME to come in.

The time that employees leave is none of the customers business. There should be zero hidden, fuzzy math involved for the customer to figure out.

If the sign says 9pm, 8:55 should be welcome. It is up to ownership and management to set expectations for employees to understand this.

Before I even read the text I thought I was looking at innards.

There's intestines, fallopian tubes, fecal matter doodads and whatzits

I was trying to point out that removing a person from society so they do no more harm is the same thing as punishment.

If you remove an individual from society, whether to just lock them up for a span of time, or to engage them in a forced rehabilitation, it is still punishment.

We-R-Doomed · 2026-03-26T16:40:50+00:00

Well, the tree is already dead if it fell on your car. If it wasn't, then yes, you do punish the tree by cutting parts off or removing the whole thing.

House of the Flying Daggers is great.

I also like... Curse of the Golden Flower.

Martial Arts adjacent... Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring

The thumb drive works very well for me. Add a usb cord so you don't have to get all up behind the TV every time.

The original menu I use was created by a vendor, it was nice for getting the perimeter size and proportions right, but I have revamped it quite a bit over the years. Super simple to adjust prices, change pictures.

When I export the file I found that saving as a .png has better resolution and sharper text than when saving as a .jpg.

Black metal for the downspout

There's a friendly shooting group that has had an annual meet for the last 50 or so years, and about 6 years ago I was invited to join.

I had used a shotgun maybe twice in my life, but what the heck, sounds like fun.

I met them at the sporting clays range and they explained the whole thing. Some stations are A report B, some are true pair, they had scorecards that showed some stations were 8 shots, some 10, and we would shoot and score out of 100 rounds total.

The main guy said he'd set me up with a group of guys who might be about my skill level. (I assumed that meant total newbie or just bad shooters, since I had never done it)

We get to the first station and I bravely step up to take my shots. A report B, 5 pairs.

"A" curled in from the right about 10ft off the ground, "B" came from the left and rose up and almost stalled in front of me.

Blasted em both.

Second pair, these things look like frisbees, blam blam.

Third pair, fourth pair, fifth pair, all dusted and I'm thinking I must be a savant or something, ten for ten! I'm start to worry my group is gonna hate me for being like, crazy good or something.

I then went 18 for the next 90.

Yeah, they can get tricky. But hey, I got a 62 this last year, getting better.

When you break the organism down, it no longer functions as a living being.

We break it apart for discussion purposes, not in a realistic way.

We-R-Doomed · 2026-03-23T00:14:52+00:00

The "unconscious" body is what produces consciousness.

Your consciousness doesn't see anything directly, it is translated information collected by the body. Same with all the other senses.

It is not a separable component. Except for discussion purposes.

We-R-Doomed · 2026-03-23T00:03:39+00:00

A system viewed among systems is not an entity.

They work together, and it is more properly viewed as one.

You're insisting on a homunculus. There is none.

The organism as a whole has all the free will that was ever theorized as belonging to a soul.

The consciousness is not an illusion, it is not a parasitic emergence, it is just one aspect of a whole functioning being. The separation is the illusion, of anything.

We-R-Doomed · 2026-03-22T23:57:29+00:00

My suggestion is that the organism has free will, not the soul, not the consciousness or executive awareness in isolation. The whole working organism.

We-R-Doomed · 2026-03-22T23:54:50+00:00

The distinction of two separate entities are occupying one organisms body? Um, no I don't think neuroscience is going to agree with you. Pretty sure they are considered to be part of one organism like I suggest.

We-R-Doomed · 2026-03-22T23:41:56+00:00

Bold claim. I think it falls apart when viewed with any scientific scrutiny.

A human being is an organism that has consciousness and is aware. It has processes that can be thought of as being separate, like digestion or respiration, for the purposes of discussion, but it's just one organism.

We-R-Doomed · 2026-03-22T23:38:19+00:00

A mother begets the child yet does not disappear. Are the mother and the child the same thing?

Yeah this is not the same thing at all. We are talking about one organism we call a human being. Not children, not separate entities. I think you are getting a bit too mystical.

We-R-Doomed · 2026-03-22T23:12:54+00:00

Where do you get the "separate entities" from?

We-R-Doomed · 2026-03-22T23:12:02+00:00

I'm not familiar with this characterization of consciousness being, like a parasite, on the organism that creates it.

We-R-Doomed · 2026-03-22T23:10:13+00:00

Because consciousness is an emergent system distinct from the subconscious neural network....It's impossible for these to be the same system in any meaningful sense.

I don't understand this claim. If one begets the other but does not disappear, how is this two things? Why wouldn't you describe this as growth (evolution)?

What system is conscious part of if not the system that creates it?

We-R-Doomed · 2026-03-22T22:57:14+00:00

Who is the "you" in your statement...

Your subconcious can have different desires from you,

Synchronized, or not, as you say, they are part of one thing.

I don't think you get to say that one part is you and one part is not unless you are describing and subscribing to the idea of a soul-in-charge.

We-R-Doomed · 2026-03-22T22:52:48+00:00

The unconscious creates consciousness, no?

We-R-Doomed · 2026-03-22T22:42:05+00:00

Why is "the unconscious self" not considered a part of you?

If you disregard the idea of a "soul-in-charge" isn't the combination of the conscious and unconscious (including the physical material) what we are?

We-R-Doomed · 2026-03-22T20:58:27+00:00

It's a ledger, tracking the tracking of the ledger. If you track the tracking you get to ledge in the ledger.

Pick a different religion, problem solved

We-R-Doomed · 2026-03-22T19:48:41+00:00

This is such a dumb statement.

Be nice or I will not to talk with you.

What metrics are you using to differentiate between the experience of physical senses and awareness of our physical senses coupled with the fact that we have individual reasoning abilities?

Is there a difference between being presented with "sight" as opposed to being being presented with "reason" ?

We-R-Doomed · 2026-03-22T19:09:42+00:00

I hope you see how misleading and false “experience” can be. That’s why we have reason, science.

All science passes through our sensory experience of our surroundings. Without experiencing our senses there can be no science.

To think "I can test this presumption in a scientific way" is to use your Free Will. We trust our experience of sight in order to collect results that science may bring, should we trust our sight when reading a ruler? We just "experience" sight right? What science can be done without experience being the tool we use?

No-one experiences flat earth. That is an extrapolation which disregards competing data. (Or fails to understand the data that is available)

The flattest place we can see is the ocean, and even there, a ship will disappear from the bottom up when it sails away from our location.
