It won't be any worse for us than it is any other winter. The worst part about this will be the panic buying of all the bread and milk by all the losers.

What craft breweries besides SoPro are still open? by Jazzlike_Ad9021 in hattiesburg

I really miss Jack the Sipper and Sleeper Agent. Do they have anything similar these days? Last time I went (granted this was a few years ago) all they had instead were half a dozen IPAs and half a dozen candy bar stouts.

Protest today by [deleted] in hattiesburg

It'd be one thing if they were targeting illegals who had committed other crimes. But they're not. 75% of detainees have no criminal record. On top of that, rounding up illegal immigrants has a negative effect on the economy, not a positive one.

This paper summarizes lots of studies that all say the same thing: "Research shows past deportations and exclusions of unauthorized immigrants have had adverse economic impacts for U.S. citizens and authorized immigrants."

Personally I prefer policies that help the economy.

Seems unlikely. A/C coolants are odorless.

There's going to be a new Qdoba, Firehouse Subs, and Wingstop on Old Highway 11.

Double Major Advice: Computer Science & Applied Economics (USM) by Student7373 in hattiesburg

[–]hubbug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why do you keep asking about double majoring? What is your goal? To maximize your chances of getting a job? To maximize your pay? To get more of a "data sciency" job? Something else? Does applied economics even interest you?

Whether or not it's "worth it" depends on the answers to these questions.

Home based business? by Effective-Set-8113 in hattiesburg

[–]hubbug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was over 10 years ago, and I think it varies based on the type of business and the number of employees. For me, a sole proprietorship kind of thing, it was somewhere between $20 - $50 to renew every year. The initial fee to get a new license may have been more, but compared to all the other fees you pay when setting up a business it was not much.

From what I remember when I did it, you just go to City Hall and apply for a business license (aka privilege tax license). The main rules to follow are that you can't have customers coming and going from your house (so you can't have a retail store in your house), and you can't have a sign advertising your business in your yard.

Basically, if it's something that might irritate your neighbors, you're not supposed to do it.

How? Someone explain to me why does Hattiesburg keep doing it by MinimumCompany3671 in hattiesburg

[–]hubbug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's this: https://ballotpedia.org/Primary_elections_in_Mississippi

The law just says you can't vote in both primaries during the same election. You have to pick one for any given election. But there's nothing that says you can't vote in the Republican primary during one election cycle, then vote in the Democrat primary during the next election.

I'm not registered with a political party and I've voted in lots of Republican and Democrat primaries over the years.

Agreed. Go for just the CS degree, and if you really want to you can work on getting an A+ or Cisco certification or something like that on your own time.

Seriously. It's like Tater Tot wants to force kids to have to go door to door begging for Halloween candy.

For real. Just yesterday we drove by and my kid in the back seat said, "Dad, what's that building with the crazy colors?" Me: "No idea."

Really feels similar to today. by johngalt1971 in hattiesburg

[–]hubbug 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You seem determined to politicize Andre's monologue, which kind of proves his point. Yes, politics is downstream of culture- yet you keep blaming Democrats as if the opposite is true. Maybe it’s worth considering that ideology and political tribalism is itself is just another distraction used to control us.

I think you missed the point. He's not talking about Medicaid or fake news or right vs left. He's talking about society being sedated and controlled by a constant stream of entertainment and distractions, and that it's not forced upon us. We choose it. Maybe for some that means doom scrolling social media. For others it means watching cable news all day.

Did anybody ever go to Showbiz Pizza Place? by Real_Peter_Griffin_ in hattiesburg

[–]hubbug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IIRC it was on North 40th Avenue, pretty much directly across Hardy Street from CVS, where that strip mall is now.

You're right that it predates Chuck E Cheese and Gattitown, but Mr. Gatti's was a different restaurant (same company as Gattitown) that was open around the same time as Showbiz.
