I am not sure what is going on…I thought we had the week covered. While I try to figure this out, here is a new spot to continue commenting.

You and UCS thinking RadioPanda is creepy … buncha pansies.
RadioPanda isn’t creepy.
Teddy Ruxpin was creepy.
I’ll raise your Teddy Ruxpin with a My Buddy doll.
SF was spindled by ALA assassins.
The government finally caught up to Sugar Free.
Are we sure it isn’t the other way around?

Ya don’t say? Mrs OBE has had tempting thoughts when a store employs only one person per 15 self-checkouts and you have to wait five minutes because you accidently scanned something twice and want to void it.
I got to my car once before realizing I had a gallon of distilled water underneath the cart. I wasn’t going back in to pay the dollar, so that was my big self-checkout caper.
Feels good to finally confess.

All for you, Drake.
Not buying the narrative that shops are losing money on self-checkout, at all. I think that is a tale that media outlets like to push.
Yeah, that would be way too easy to reverse if it were so.
Or UFCW.
Not sure losing money, especially grocery stores. However I have seen people just start scanning and then walk out at the opportune time. Multiple times.
I would say shrink is up, but it has been priced into the price.
Also, people have been opening bottles of liquid detergent and filling up other bottles to the very top and leaving the less-full bottles on the shelf.
o.O
And also, shrinkflation is getting to people. Feels like gaslighting. I swear the Club crackers are just a couple mm smaller each direction.
Shrink is up because crime is up. I don’t think it has anything to do with self-checkout stands.
Apparently there’s no editor. The article says it’s 20% of those making over $100k and below it says 20% of those who admit to stealing which is a bit different.
“How many bags would you like to purchase?” 0, because they should and would still be complementary except for the business conspiracy and legislature.
But klimate katastrophe!
OK, so we can safely ignore the videos of people pushing shelves full of merchandise into carts or trashbags and running out of the store; no, the real shoplifting epidemic is middle-class people not scanning items properly at the self-checkout. Which is really the fault of the greedy fatcats who run the grocery stores and won’t hire enough checkers at proper living wages to work the registers because that cuts into their profits.
I’m always amused at those videos – surely they have learned by now that they can just perform a stately waltz out the door and nobody will try to stop them. Instead they fling themselves around like yakety sax.
Wapner’s on!

After due consideration (like ten seconds or so) I have come to the conclusion thievery on the scale claimed by some of these retailers can only be an organized inside job.
I was saving this for Sugarfree, but…
Last night, I also watched The Bad Seed, for the first time since I was a kid.
It’s a lot funnier than I remembered. I would have liked it even better if Little Miss Evilpants had rubbed out the landlady.
I learned the term excelsior (wood shavings sense) from that movie.

Oh those crazy Chinese chessplayers, what will they think of next?
McAfee lives? Hunter on a secret diplomatic mission to Beijing? Stay tuned!
That’s a power shitter if defecating can damage a bathtub.

Mojeaux, glad to see everything worked out WRT surgical schedule.
Thanks. He’s in recovery now.
Ah well, five years is a pretty good run, So are you guys going back to Reason or find another ‘libertarian’ site to bitch about democrats and carry water for the republicans on?
Well, there’s always InfoWars.
Glibertarians will be the birthing vessel of The First That Shall Change Everything. Once the predetermined conditions are met, the First shall flow across the land ushering in a new age. A First Age.
Excuse me while I whip this First out.
First, HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
First Ho? That is a terrible thing to say about Dr. Jill!
Back from the grocery store. There was some sort of police activity in progress at the FBI complex. No shots fired of which I was aware. Fortunately, the area was not completely cordoned off.
Speaking of shrinkflation- I bought a package of Keebler Vienna Fingers cookies recently. I’d say there were 3/4 as many cookies in the package as the last time I bought them.
