Unless you have an older machine, probably the Coke guy.
Coke wants to control what drinks are in the machine and what percentage of the take Coke gets, so they refill the machines.
We used to have an older machine on an old contract, and since we didn’t really care about the income from it we let Coke swap it for a new one they’d service.
About 2 months later, they said we weren’t selling enough drinks and took the new machine away.
Coca-Cola owns the machines, btw.
I live in Texas. I own like 2 shirts with long sleeves in case I have to go to a funeral or something.
Don’t forget the rolling view counter and the guestbook!
I have health insurance in the US and still have to pay a fuckton in copays to use it.
In early May, I searched GPs on my Healthcare plan, and I get to see a doctor on Jully 11.
Nice to see that Jenna has potential.
Heard joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he’s depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain.
Doctor says, “Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up.”
Man bursts into tears. Says, “But doctor…I am Pagliacci.”
Good joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum.
Curtains.
If you own the place or can get permission, a mini-split air conditioner is very easy to install with minimal tools, and they’re pretty affordable online.
For under 500 buck including drill and bits you could have AC in a few days. It’s not free, but it’s a huge quality of life improvement.
I might pay extra for that.
Those are some expensive pickles.
For those who weren’t around at the time: The PS2 had a huge shortage of memory cards the first year or so. So you could buy games, but had to keep the console powered up 24/7 because you couldn’t save your games.
I ended up buying a 3rd party card, but since Sony didn’t officially allow them it came with a disc that launched an application that installed a driver in the local memory that allowed the card to function until the next power cycle. So you’d put in the driver disc, turn on the PS2, load the drivers, then swap discs to the game you wanted to play and pray that the game you were playing didn’t make use of the same memory addresses as the 3rd-party drivers.
Yeah. If they come for me I’m gonna make sure that they’re not the only ones bringing guns to the fight. That doesn’t mean I’ll do any damage to them, but I’m screwed either way.
If enough people do that, enough of us will get lucky shots in before we get dropped. We have the numbers on our side.
11 days.
Texas ice storm in 2021 froze the pipes from the well. We had stored water in jugs and the bathtubs in anticipation of the storm, but it was for drinking, cooking, and flushing the toilet.
Are people required to know how their car works?
Do people have to understand chemistry to buy gasoline or mercury thermometers?
That’s simply not true. People can’t be expected to know what’s going on under the hood of services designed specifically to simplify things for non-technical users and conceal what’s under the hood.
My local officials are pretty protective of us.
At the same time, the state just passed a law limiting severance pay to municipal employees to 60 days, so that when they outlaw a bunch of our functions we also suffer when our jobs aren’t legal and nobody is hiring statewide.
I love some of the cities I’ve worked for, but God I hate the Texas state government.
Actually, I tend to order healthier options than what I cook. If I’m spending 30 dollars on lunch it isn’t gonna be fast food. I usually go with a salad bowl or something.
Same thing happened to me recently. Super fun loop.
At least now I know it’s a panic attack so it doesn’t feed itself as aggressively.
