I think I used self checkout once in my life. I very quickly realized that they're pushing their work onto me and never went to self checkout again.

I also think those jobs matter. Not great jobs, sure. But they are jobs. I'm sure tech will eliminate cashier jobs someday but I don't see self checkout doing so.

Kafkaesque.

I am pleased to read that the military is educating itself about this. It is vitally important.

The interwebs seem very, very concerned over Mac and Don's supperclub's ability to provide an awful excuse for "ice cream" in the world's worst cone. Stop the madness. Touch grass and eat real food, nerds.

Why isn't this a thing?

Microcenter, Newegg, Scamazon. In that order.

Most of the "current" ones because I have not really watched TV for years. I see a lot of stuff on social media about them which is the only way I know that they exist.

Kinda stretches the comcept of "comic" WAY too far, IMHO.

It did not start out as an English word. It came from the Miami-Illinos language to Algonquin and/or Ojibwe to French then to English. So applying English language rules to a non-English word will be difficult.

But as AbouBenAdhem suggests ITT, treating it like the French word "Quebecquois" makes a lot of sense.

YES, DUH!

Signals get out extra good from the windscreen.

If you wrap your whole car with aluminum foil then the signal can't get out. Be sure there are NO GAPS!
