  • [VENT] CHEAPER FOR ME TO BUY A COSTCO MEMBERSHIP IN ORDER TO GET THE DISCOUNT ON THE VACCINE THAN TO PAY THE STRAIGHT CASH PRICE.🤬
  • WilsonWilson WilsonWilson 7d ago 100%

    I watched a doc on costco founder and he uses a business model that is different than any other retailer. The profit the corp records comes directly from subscription fees and cc's. All the merch in the store is marked up approximately 30% above cost and is used for all operating costs. So upper management's main job is run costco at %30. The end result is you can get the best value from costco over other retail stores. It isn't a huge amount but every bit helps.

  • How do you make your coffee at home?
  • WilsonWilson WilsonWilson 1w ago 100%

    Try this one from wally mart. Last one worked for two years before the heating element went out. Before I started using these I had a $25 mr coffee and when I took it apart it was identical and prob made by the same place in China. I also re use the filters once or twice scoop the old grounds out with a spoon. Main problem I'm having rn is 3X increase in coffee prices. Kroger used to have decent cheap house brand but they are trying to phase out their generic product lines. The new thing in grocery store biz model is replace generic house brand with a premium house brand. Kroger no label -> Kroger Private Selection, Meijer no label -> Frederik's by Meijer

    Almost out of a movie: Iran's parliamentary speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, visited south Beirut today and met with the crowd. Amid a reported blockade by the IDF on Iranian planes coming into Beirut, Ghalibaf, former Air Force commander, flew the plane into Beirut himself.

    I hope Iran puts a lid on this open discussion of nuclear weapons. One of the most dangerous scenarios in nuclear war game theory is when your opponent has nuclear weapons and you are developing them but do not yet have enough to assure mutual destruction of the enemy. I don't think it's even unique to Israel. USA used it to justify the use of conventional military invasion of Iraq in 2003. If they really thought Iraq had a few nukes we might have seen the first use since 1945. A similar thing played out between India and Pakistan when they were in a race to develop nukes.

    Israel and Chemical/Biological Weapons: History, Deterrence, and Arms Control Some disturbing information about previous use of bio weapons in Gaza.

    The above is from the Avner Cohen Collection which includes some the best available information about Israels nuclear weapons program as well as chemical & biological weapons programs.

    Avner Cohen also wrote two books about the history of Israel nuclear weapons development The Worst-Kept Secret and Israel and the bomb

    I have not been able to find a free copy of 'The Worst-Kept Secret' but google books has an excerpt & the 'Israel and the bomb' link is an Internet Archive copy.

    rewatching vids of oct 7 reminded me of something I was thinking when it happened. Hamas was putting video out within a few hours of Al-Aqsa Flood start and I suspect they had crews on motorcycles collecting go-pro sd cards and porting them back into Gaza where Hamas propaganda warriors would edit and upload almost in real time. Like it wasn't just an add-on but a significant part of the operation. They were putting out video, info graphics and other related stuff in order to dominate the narrative as soon as possible. This might be the first time the term 'keyboard warrior' was a real thing and they were likely targeted by IOF in the subsequent bombing campaign. o7 to all the people behind the line.

    Jokes aside is this what they use for medical stuff? Don't remember where I heard it but iirc radioactive cobalt is used for radiation oncology or imaging. Something about it having a short half life by design and they have to be replaced often.

    Mercouris thinks Z's incompetence is a net positive for the Russian side but the situation is dynamic so that could change as the war winds down.

    Your an ex USA special forces. You spent 6 years in Iraq and Afghanistan sniping children from rooftop positions. You retired and landed a cush $260k contractor job at a base in Niger monitoring local military communications for the CIA. Your sitting in an air conditioned mess hall munching on free Pizza Hut (tm) when you hear a commotion outside. You peek out the window and see this: ![](https://lemm.ee/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fhexbear.net%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2F46c351f1-cb2b-4b34-8e95-86b98c331ef4.png)

    THIS IS MY RIFLE. THERE ARE MANY LIKE IT, BUT THIS ONE IS MINE. MY RIFLE IS MY BEST FRIEND. IT IS MY LIFE. I MUST MASTER IT AS I MUST MASTER MY LIFE. MY RIFLE, WITHOUT ME, IS USELESS. WITHOUT MY RIFLE, I AM USELESS. I MUST FIRE MY RIFLE TRUE. I MUST SHOOT STRAIGHTER THAN MY ENEMY WHO IS TRYING TO KILL ME. I MUST SHOOT HIM BEFORE HE SHOOTS ME. I WILL. MY RIFLE AND MYSELF KNOW THAT WHAT COUNTS IN THIS WAR IS NOT THE ROUNDS WE FIRE, THE NOISE OF OUR BURST, NOR THE SMOKE WE MAKE. WE KNOW THAT IT IS THE HITS THAT COUNT. WE WILL HIT. MY RIFLE IS HUMAN, EVEN AS I, BECAUSE IT IS MY LIFE. THUS, I WILL LEARN IT AS A BROTHER. I WILL LEARN ITS WEAKNESSES, ITS STRENGTH, ITS PARTS, ITS ACCESSORIES, ITS SIGHTS AND ITS BARREL. I WILL EVER GUARD IT AGAINST THE RAVAGES OF WEATHER AND DAMAGE AS I WILL EVER GUARD MY LEGS, MY ARMS, MY EYES AND MY HEART AGAINST DAMAGE. I WILL KEEP MY RIFLE CLEAN AND READY. WE WILL BECOME PART OF EACH OTHER. WE WILL. BEFORE GOD, I SWEAR THIS CREED. MY RIFLE AND MYSELF ARE THE DEFENDERS OF MY COUNTRY. WE ARE THE MASTERS OF OUR ENEMY. WE ARE THE SAVIORS OF MY LIFE. SO BE IT, UNTIL VICTORY IS AMERICA’S AND THERE IS NO ENEMY, BUT PEACE!!

    SMO

    Captain's log, stardate 23264.3: the smo against squirrels continues...... thought about putting a Ukie flag on the helmet but the bit is funnier if I rep as Ukraine because much like the real war there is no scenario where I win this. They are on the job 24 hours a day 7 days a week and I am not. Now they are digging holes in my herb containers and i dont have any more rabbit fence to spare.

    *designed by navy seals Why would navy seals be qualified to design an electronic device? How do six pack abs make you a better military force? I once saw a discussion under a joe rogan video where they were arguing about how many times you have to shoot a navy seal to kill them. 13. They decided you had to shoot a navy seal at least 13 times to kill them. Maybe six pack abs can stop a bullet?
