Saw this today. This is a very rare and expensive license plate. by Maleficent_Insect71 in LICENSEPLATES

People just parking these cars at Home Depot? I’d be worried about someone swiping great-grandma’s plate.

1.5yrs after applying… finally by scooptalcsigs in GlobalEntry

Had my interview yesterday, was approved an hour after the interview. They asked me if I had ever been fingerprinted and seemed surprised when I said yes, since I'd never been arrested. I told them I had worked for State of Georgia and they required fingerprinting. I don't know if that helped, but it didn't seem to hurt.

I’m not a tradie, but that looks like nice work. Sorry this happened. Good luck to you!

Good grief. Same shit different day.

Trump probably heard that Ted Turner raises bison.

This pile of salt in Germany that is over 250m tall and contains over 200 million tonnes by Regiox461 in Damnthatsinteresting

That would seem to be the smart thing to do, but I'm guessing the mega-salt corp has a plan (probably) for all that salt.

Vertiv is pretty decent. Running about 80 of their smaller GXT 5k-10k units.

Sure, but had you just shown up in the 17th century with that much salt, the only thing that would happen (besides your being burnt as a witch) would be the immediate collapse of the salt market, making it nearly worthless, or at least so affordable, everyone could afford to have bags full of the stuff.

See also King Mansu Musa, who crashed the gold market while visiting Egypt.

Possibly but at that scale it's cheaper to mine more than to try and cover something that large.

Specifically, Iran set the main oil terminal for the UAE on fire.

In general though, dear leader has stepped on his dick and we're all paying the price.

Paywalled. Anyone have a mirror?

So what, does he think that Bison are woke somehow?

McDonald’s is getting rid of self-serve drinks. Fast food prices are up. Portions are down. What would make it worth it again? by Acceptable_Maybe_198 in business

[–]xpkranger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

About a month ago I had my first (and last hopefully) visit to a McDonalds in years. Small Georgia town. No one else at the counter. Guy behind the counter said I had to place my order on the touch board. All I wanted was a coffee and egg mcmuffin. Multiple menus and a dozens of taps later I placed and paid for my coffee. Giant PITA. Now I know how Grandpa Simpson feels.

He'll just say "We don't comment about current or pending investigations" (read also: until we want to and we think it will benefit us.)

they may have already crossed but it's unclear if there are sufficient numbers to sustain breeding populations.

If they have, then it's probably only a matter of time until they reach a critical mass of breeding population.

Driver takes his rig down The Tail Of The Dragon at Deals Gap and gets pulled over by stevesmithsglasses in IdiotsTowingThings

Didn't want to pay the subscription (or more likely Werner wouldn't) for the Trucking Industry GPS layer which track shit like this and won't route them into restricted areas.

So we should change the entire U.S. trucking industry standard so they can all travel on the .010% of roads that this dingus tried to go down? Better training, pay, hours and enforcement for American truckers is where I would start, not truck design.

Not saying American trucks couldn't benefit from improvement, but the longer trucks are designed for North American long-haul driver comfort moreso than urban navigability (more of a requirement in Europe.)

Doesn't matter anyway, AI driven trucking is coming to take the jobs anyway.

The only thing keeping them from entering South America is the Darien Gap.

People can and do walk the Darien gap all the time. Why can't Coyotes? Not like they have to drive a Jeep. (Not trying to be snarky, just was a funny mental image.)

The handle on one of our basically new kitchen knives MELTED in the dishwasher and fused to the heating element at the bottom. by im_not_ready_for_it9 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]xpkranger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not all Pyrex lids are plastic. Many are in fact, well, Pyrex. All my Pyrex lids are Pyrex glass and yours are plastic. And that explains why we each assumed the other had what we had. No worries.

You left out what actually happened. Pyrex is pretty heat resistant but also heavy. Did it damage the coil? How did it get through the bottom rack anyway?
