  • Domestic tomcats frequently kill every kitten they sire. The theory that I hold is that the tomcats murder kittens to both prevent competition and to prepare the queen (the female cat - and yes, they are referred to as queens) for mating sooner.

  • This way, when he doesn't want to peacefully transition in 4 years, all he has to do it wave his tiny hands, pout his lips, and say "you know what to do". When anarchy erupts, he will say he totally didn't mean it......again.

  • A hypothetical person could gather up about 10 boxes of microwave popcorn.

    That peraon could then gather up as many microwaves as possible from the shelves.

    He or she coukd evenly distribute the microwaves across the store. They coukd even place two or three around the HVAC intake ducts.

    That nefarious individual could remove all filters from the HVAC intake ducts.

    If lead to do so, the person could put 1 bag of microwave popcorn in each microwave.

    Feasibly, they coukd also start each microwave on high for 60 minutes.

    The anecdotal smell of burnt popcorn would permeate and last for months. If you think burnt popcorn wouldn't be that bad, then I would wager that you've never been in an office building that was evacuated for the burning chemical smell of one bag of popcorn left too long.

  • Only works until the initial sludge is cleared. I would bet it would be relatively clear water by head 3.

    Now, if you take that scissor lift and attach something that can rip the head off, attach the same thing to ALL heads, and then attach those to one forklift and drive out of the building....... that would do it.

  • Easy peasy, folks. If you want to know why, it was a simple decision. He thought of any number of ways he could to "naturally" meet Detective Dumptruck. He compared those options with ones he could do in his office, and then he came up with an obvious solution.

  • Every person has a massive profile (table / database) built all about them. This isn't conspiracy. This is big business. There are a few data brokerage companies focused on people:

    -Acxiom (worlds biggest broker, pretty much every piece of junk mail you get drives from a company purchasing data from them)

    -TransUnion (credit, such as if you pay the minimum bill or are late on payments)

    -CoreLogic (all real estate purchase information)

    -FourSquare Labs (location broker which i find to be particularly insidious)

    There are also databases built specifically for business entities, such as Data Axle.

    And companies will purchase packages from ALL of these data brokers when they want to target a specific audience.

  • My problem is the algorithm. There is no way to browse categories and drill down into the features to find what you are actually looking to find.

    You search for xxx company Product, and you may get that product on the first page, but it will be surrounded by dozens of cheap alternatives. I find a lot of those alternatives aren't comparable to the one I actually seek.

    If you don't know the specific product you are looking for, you will never be able to sort the wheat from the chaff.
