I just keep the bag of dry food next to their bowls. Neither has ever tried to get into it, probably because it’s just easier to eat from their bowls that we ensure has plenty of dry food in it 24/7.

It’s $99 a year. I wish my hobbies were that cheap.

Which is a complete non-issue. It’s $99 / year, basically a symbolic amount just high enough to prevent spammers from making a billion accounts.

I have no problems with this. Notarizing your app is trivial and takes just a few minutes. As a user I want to know who actually produced an app and ensure it wasn’t tampered with.

I wish TLoU 1 gave you the option to sacrifice Ellie. Have an alternate ending where they find a vaccine and everyone lives happily ever after (except Ellie).

Yep. The best people will leave first because they have options. It’s called the dead sea effect

Or just install a door on your bathroom and hang the toilet roll over.

Why would you be pro self checkout? Besides the extra time and effort for the customer to check out if they have more than a couple items

In what alternate reality does self-checkout take more time and effort?

• If you go to a cashier then you have to wait in line. At my local supermarket there is one cashier vs. 16 self-checkout machines. Even if you go at an extremely busy time there is almost always a self-checkout machine available.
• With self-checkout you simply scan the items from your basket and put them in your bag. With the cashier you have put all your items on the conveyor belt, wait for them to be scanned, then put them in your bag.
• If you have more than a few items you simply grab a hand-scanner or just use the app on your phone and scan the items as you put them in your cart. Then you just go to a self-checkout machine and pay. No unloading the cart at checkout, you just pay and take your cart to your car.

the problems and delays they cause where they have to provide employee assistance anyway (“Unexpected item in bag”, etc)

What do you mean unexpected item in bag? The self checkout machine can’t look into my bag.

The article also talked about people getting in trouble for accidentally not getting something scanned.

Never seen that happen. You get random bag checks before you pay (so at that point it’s technically not theft). If you missed something, they simply re-scan all the items and you pay the correct amount, that’s all.

How is that even legal? How is someone who hasn’t examined the patient and isn’t their physician allowed to make treatment decisions? If they even have the necessary qualifications.

Bacon. It’s super delicious.

Meg, they are kinda disappointing. Even more tasteless than a normal big mac.

There are disappointingly few epic space battles in fantasy though.

You don’t even know where I live. What endangered songbirds? Also: very few cats are actually capable of catching birds. We mostly have jackdaws around here, and they are way too smart to get caught. They like to taunt the cats.

a menace to your local ecology.

That’s a funny way of saying ‘pest control’.

Nah. She’s this fluffy little murder machine. She needs to sow death and destruction on the local mouse population.

your cat does not need to hunt live animals to be happy and healthy.

It’s a predator, of course it needs to hunt to be happy.

There are many, many, many ways to provide enrichment for a cat without letting them outside

Sure, I could buy some live mice for her to ‘play’ with, but I don’t want that mess inside my house.

Wow, it looks so much prettier today. All thanks to climate improvement.

It’s probably his handlers telling him to refuse.

Can’t believe no one has suggested this yet: Melodies of Life from Final Fantasy IX
