oh no! you're probably accidentally entering the wrong plu code by accident! these stores should hire someone properly trained to stand next to each self-checkout machine to make sure customers are using them correctly.
i'm shamelessly cribbing from wikipedia's on this day page, but here's a few:
1977 – The George Jackson Brigade plants a bomb at the main power substation for the Washington state capitol in Olympia, in solidarity with a prison strike at the Walla Walla State Penitentiary Intensive Security Unit.
1961 – On its maiden voyage, the Soviet nuclear-powered submarine K-19 suffers a complete loss of coolant to its reactor. The crew are able to effect repairs, but 22 of them die of radiation poisoning over the following two years.
1951 – William Shockley announces the invention of the junction transistor.
1946 – After 381 years of near-continuous colonial rule by various powers, the Philippines attains full independence from the United States.
1943 – World War II: The Battle of Kursk, the largest full-scale battle in history and the world's largest tank battle, begins in the village of Prokhorovka.
1910 – The Johnson–Jeffries riots occur after African-American boxer Jack Johnson knocks out white boxer Jim Jeffries in the 15th round. Between 11 and 26 people are killed and hundreds more injured. [fucking wikipedia "riots occur" like it wasn't a bunch of salty crackers attacking black people]
1827 – Slavery is abolished in the State of New York.
1054 – A supernova, called SN 1054, is seen by Chinese Song dynasty, Arab, and possibly Amerindian observers near the star Zeta Tauri. For several months it remains bright enough to be seen during the day. Its remnants form the Crab Nebula.
we're in for a hell of an october surprise, that's for sure
smh people don't want to work for free anymore
thesis: cashiers are expensive
antithesis: self-checkout machines are annoying to use and constantly result in errors, making customers resentful of the entire process and having labor costs offloaded onto them. spiteful customers are prone to shoplifting.
synthesis: fuck! security guards are also expensive!
this is the type of person who, upon having learned about the concept of "freedom of speech" says something like, "wait a minute, you mean i'm legally allowed to cover my entire truck in bumper stickers about my cum fetish?" and being told "yes" by an anonymous internet stranger who properly disclaimed any association with legal professions, becomes immediately and unshakably beset by a feverish devotion to their newfound craft
i hope that's an answer
yeah i think the real takeaway is just that the scotus decided to formally recognize the status quo of the united states (sqotus)
exactly, so the agents assigned to the task keep devising ever more complex and wacky assassination attempts set to yakety sax
meanwhile what does superman do when clark kent learns about the salt pit?

a specter haunts buffalo wild wingsthird. remember bill clinton was first.
did they spray him because people said he looked pale at the debate?
i remember a while ago someone here suggesting a comic book or tv series where clark kent is also a really good investigate journalist and the cia keeps trying to give him their award for journalism and can't figure out why he's still alive
so he's uber-rich, and therefore there's something dark attached to his being uber-rich
and also he bought the stone to carve it into a turd, which he's kept for himself, so he bought it to fuck with himself and be like hey me you own a giant expensive turd?
have you thought about simply not reading any responses?
oh he was a tool of capital through and through, for sure
it's having an outsized effect, i think. might be interesting if the machine learning algorithm is picking up that it's overvalued or whatever else and that's why it's excluded.
Beijing's planned takeover of Chinese residential real estate might cloak the nation's property crisis, but it will surely kill China’s fundamental economic momentum.
>If the leaks and rumors are true, Beijing stands ready to launch a new and radical solution to the economy’s property crisis – a government takeover. What the authorities refer to as “a new model” would replace the old emphasis on ownership with more rentals and use government funds to buy up bankrupt properties so that in time the government’s role in real estate would rise from 5% of the market at present to 30%. Such an act would surely take the nation back to its communist roots if not quite the days of Mao Zedong. If it would veil the property crisis for a time, it would in the long run do tremendous damage to China’s economic prospects.
