In an old eco-monkeywrenching pamphlet I read it said they used to leave notes saying they spiked trees even though they had not actually done it. The fact that they could have done it was enough to stall cutting and make the loggers look for spikes.

I'd think if the characters in your story could sabotage a few things on the site they could use that strategy as a multiplier which might also help to avoid people getting hurt.

I work in a another nationwide chain that is rolling these out. They are wirelessly connected to a database so prices can be set automatically and update within minutes. I don't think they want to do individual pricing though and if they did they'd just do it at the register. While electronic tags would make store by store pricing easier, that has already been happening to some extent and it's becoming less common as the industry consolidates.

What these are really for is to cut costs. The store I work at probably used to spend 15+ labor hours a week hanging tags on top of a full time employee just to audit them. The other store I used to work at had two full time employees doing it. There's a special printer, app, tons of different little plastic hangers, and paper to print and hang paper tags. These new electronic tags are shipped in a box as they're needed, are reusable, and are automatically updated.

I've been thinking about this recently. In Battlefield 4 there was a DLC that introduced the "UCAV", a small airplane like drone that exploded on impact. People quickly figured out that a full squad with an ammo replenishment box could deploy so many UCAVs that they could dominate any part of the map that didn't have extremely hard cover. Running into a squad like this basically made the game unplayable because there was no way to counter them.

It's funny to see that's more or less Iran's strategy a decade later.

Truly the most moral army in the world.

Gas cars are fucking stupid. "Oh let's put an internal combustion engine, battery, exhaust, and gas tank in every single vehicle so that cars are stupidly complex, gasoline dependent, and unnecessarily large, heavy, and noxious. They'll be so much better than a motor and a battery that can be recharged at any source of electricity."

"I don't like the possibility of a self charging car. I want to burn gooified dinosaurs in my engine."

By the time he was doing or writing anything meaningful Mao had nothing to do with anarchism. Maoism (which was created because certain people copied Mao's ideas to their own national context even though Mao pretty explicitly said not to do that) just looks like anarchism because they are both the post-hoc philosophical justifications for the natural activity of the radical lumpenproletariat.

This is literally what most Americans believe.

It's not really dystopian but a spike strip garden hose was used in Better Call Saul

23 is a long life for a kitty. I'm sure she was very happy with you and your mum. I still miss mine we had to put down a few years ago but it gets a little easier with time.

caused by debris from an intercepted Iranian drone hitting an oil facility.

Idk anything about warfare but if the drone hit something important then it kind of seems like it wasn't intercepted.

 

I'm not currently a DSA member but I'm consistently impressed by what Red Star publishes so here's this.

 

How'd it go? Are there any recaps out yet?

 

UNFI is one of (if not the) largest wholesalers in the US and Canada. While health/natural food stores are primarily supplied by it, UNFI also supplies significant amounts of product to traditional grocery operations. This combined with the tariffs and ongoing labor unrest in the grocery industry could cause significant problems with food distribution across the country this summer.

If you have products you rely on read the shelf tag closely. Usually it will say the supplier on them. If you see "UNFI" it might be a good idea to stock up on those products.

Websites, podcasts, social media, etc. I don't really care about the medium but I can't seem to find a good single source on the subject.

I think I stumbled upon a woman who is into me and I'm really into her but I haven't the slightest idea how to express that beyond kinda just saying it like a dumbass. We've hung out a few times and I'm going to reach out to go out with her again but I've got no idea how to express my actual feelings for her

I've never had a girlfriend. Only women I've been with have come onto me hard and I just halfheartedly played along. Last time I was really into a girl was years ago and I fucked it up because I didn't know how to express that. I really don't want to mess this one up though. How do I go about this?

Edit: thanks for the input everyone (silly answers too). Gonna ask her to go somewhere with me this weekend and be a little bit less coy
