  • I was late to work last Friday, intentionally, because my cat fell asleep in my lap while I was eating breakfast. That moment meant more to me than making sure I was there in time, no matter what it may have impacted. Working to live, not living to work, is the rallying cry upper management needs to come to terms with.

  • I disagree, you wouldn't need a medical doctor in my proposal except to declare death.

  • Well you said you didn't want to pick an execution method because they all needed medical doctors, so I proposed a situation that doesn't require one except to declare death. But good point, we'll only pick up this discussion after you break in and rip the mask off the next execution victim.

  • Quoting an article about safe use of nitrogen, it is odorless, tasteless, and colorless. At extreme low levels of oxygen, nitrogen can cause unconsciousness and death in seconds and without warning.

    I'm not talking about the chimps who executed this guy designing the system, I'm talking about qualified scientists designing it. The beauty is, you don't need a medical doctor to monitor oxygen levels if you rapidly remove the oxygen and add nitrogen. Send in slightly chilled nitrogen and the air will rise above it. Relief valve up top spits out the oxygen. Homeboy is unconsciousness before he realizes why the air just got cold.

    The freediver will hold his breath confidently for four minutes, exhale, suck in pure nitrogen, and be out in a breath or two.

    I agree that the state does lie and incompetently kills people, but we can design a system that does it well. I just don't agree they should ever use it.

  • All options do not require a medical professional to administer. It does not take someone with a doctor's knowledge or skill to make an airproof chamber. It won't take a doctor to set up a system to add air to the chamber. You don't need to be a doctor to rig a way to flood the chamber with another gas and remove the oxygen. Non-doctors can wheel him in, strapped to a bed. Then the regular pre-PhD's can operate the system. Now the scientists and engineers to design this death trap may have doctorates, but they don't need medical licenses. Design it well enough and a chimp or small child can operate the chamber controls. You will need a medical professional to declare death, though.

  • Gotta drive to food lion, walking near those stores almost guarantees a stabbing.

  • This quote from Men In Black sums it up for me: "A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it."

  • They buzz when they fly.

  • Oh don't worry, I condemn hammas and the great deceiver Carl Marks every morning after the pledge of allegiance, and before I dumpster dive for my breakfast behind the McDonald's.

  • Like I said before, I have an American public school education, so that's more math than I can do, so I appreciate it. I also have no emotional intelligence, and the news isn't telling me to be mad about this, so all I can say is that this is the type of bad emotion that makes your eyes wet.

  • I attended American public school, just tell me how many 9/11's that is so I can be appropriately outraged.

  • Ah word, I appreciate it. Their name is familiar to me so I'm pretty sure they're a troll.

  • How about the CEO, upper management, and stock buybacks? If all of those aforementioned are contributing to directing value created by the workers away from those who generate it, and those who generate the wealth are struggling to live, then that wealth needs to be refocused back to the workers.

  • If I'm not mistaken, it's just to say where the dog has been.

    As far as pee ownership goes, if you can get to the pee first, it's yours. You should probably ask the owner first if it's not a stray.

  • The discussion about tipping? How is my comment not relevant?

  • I appreciate the sum up. I think that workers for the restaurant shouldn't have to beg the public to make a living wage and wages should be covered by the employer. If they company can't afford to give their employees a living wage while the CEO is buying multiple homes and yachts, then it's a moral failure on the company and the government that allows that to happen. It's wrong that costs are always passed onto the customers, but those dragons need their hoards to sleep on it seems.
