my glasses were never removed from the packaging.

I use stylebot chrome extension.

A company I have worked for tried this, changing a few single bathrooms from M and W to unisex. The women protested because cleanliness went way down. They went back to M and W after 2 weeks.

There are a few more parts you can buy for the home install to make it more efficient. I can see the manufacturers leaving it out due to install space and cost.

My system is relatively new, but this thread has my thinking of ways I can better use that 4 gallons of waste.

For comparison, a big-box purchased reverse osmosis home setup could have up to a 4:1 waste water ratio.

I found myself in a similar situation, sharing the same name, not profiling. I was asked to come in to 'help with a case'. It was really an interrogation of my involvement. I had the same feeling of uncertainty and the thought I could do nothing to argue my case, based on the continued, escalating questions.

It was assumed that I needed to prove my innocence rather than they prove my guilt. Luckily I happened to be across the country on that day so it was easily dropped. I was denied to see the police report after multiple requests, which I thought I was entitled to.

This one experience greatly changed the way I view police and their tactics. I can empathize

beer is just an analogy. I interpreted it as him saying there is greed in all markets.

Is there something inherently wrong with marking up cash advances for those who are otherwise seen as too risky to take on? Any market that has little to no competition has the opportunity to run the same course.

The recent drug price increase of 5000% comes to mind.

there is some truth to this quote.

“But a business owner can buy this beer for a dollar, mark it up eight times, and sell it to idiots like us, and no one cares.”

same with Champagne and a few other protected names.

all scotch is whiskey, but not all whiskey is scotch sort of thing.

he is essentially just creating hard liquor with aging characteristics as I see it. He could technically create any new name to differentiate his product and make it more marketable as the other protected names have done.

many laws already exist. for example, scotch has to be aged at least 3 years in scotland.

Side note. johnberardsucks.com is avail.

This is the part that bothers me most. A lot of small deliveries are convenient and all, but the cost to ship multiple small items (maybe separately) to your door has an impact.

We are currently in a single-serve consumer-focused environment and this takes it a step farther.. potentially a single item shipment environment.

Unless they batch days or a full week, I think this is a bad habit to get in.

dont sell yourself short eg "its a bit confusing".

the only thing this may do is preface your delivery with a confusing expectation.

let them decide!

I fell into this same trap when I started pitching potential investors one-one due to lack of confidence/experience. "I'm not a very good presenter but here is [my awesome product]" they told me to stop saying that. It only hurts you.

From the OP comments about work/value proposition of side projects, the current work you are doing at your job should be the focus as the above mentioned.

How I take it, side projects give a candidate an opportunity to present a passion project and discuss the why, how, what of it and they did so because they wanted to, rather than someone asking them to. Ultimately, I think the why is a very important piece.

I bought joypath.com for 450, personal project.

purchases for employer

party-------.com for 5500

---force.com for 12000

-----lite.com for 11500

Great project. I can appreciate the work put into this.

I built http://colorhits.com a few years ago. another option with a few more features. cross genre color connections and keyword search starting point.

Even if the cop sees the card, is it probable cause for a search?

Comparing it to gun laws and interstate travel, a gun permit seen in a wallet probably wouldn't lead to a search if the driver simply said there is no gun in the vehicle.

Pot seems like it would be under more scrutiny in a red state than guns sadly.

satisfying a taste and product differentiation is the main driver. the body loves sweets, salts and fat and who wants wheat bread when you can have honey wheat bread.

Some blame comes down to the producer and marketing trends, gluten is a good example. Up until recently, gluten free had no regulation with using that on packaging. http://www.fda.gov/food/guidanceregulation/guidancedocuments...

When discussing this with friends, I use the example of sodas being marketed as caffeine-free, rather than caffeine added. They are all caffeine free to start.

Software project would be a platform for anonymous product distribution direct to consumers catered to their preferences.

Non-software related would become fluent in a second language. Any language.

He will undoubtedly be receiving many empty forms if they are being sent successfully. I'm wondering what this will do to his paranoia and if he will post about it.

as an 'early access' price, is this considered a discounted rate with plans to increase later?

A few questions. Did they do any cost/value testing with potential customers? Who is it for? customers who do this every week or every 5-6 months. The price suggest the first.

I did not but I was only basing my findings off of the production of beer/wine, not the agriculture side.

I've done both wine and beer, recently planted my own home vineyard of 650 vines. In my experience, much more can go wrong with wine than beer but both are worth it when you open the first bottle.

Same here.
