Walmart released a statement to Newsweek saying, "The advertisements from Christy Walton are in no way connected to or endorsed by Walmart. She does not serve on the board or play any role in decision making at Walmart."

Oh, infuriating, certainly.

That's amazing is it? That they (grudgingly) take care of us while we are doing what they want, and hurt us until we fall in line when we don't?

Seems a bar has been lowered while I wasn't looking.

I'll make an exception for uploaders.

You can just order a bullet proof vest from Amazon.

Not sure I world trust my life to it, but it's not exactly a controlled item.

If you were to use their network to take advantage of the features for anything that the “predator” behind doesn’t care, you’re fine.

But what will the predator care about tomorrow? Or next year? And how confident are you that aggregate data is not what they want, for whatever reason?

That's "most wanted" material? I figured you had to at least kill a few people to qualify for that.

I've never know a happy Southern Baptist. I'm not interested in being as miserable as them.

It actually comes from artillery, but it’s the same idea.

I question the accuracy of this statement. Archers existed long before black-powder artillery. At the same time, though, I don't know if anyone would have been concerned with that measurement, way back when.

EDIT: Wikipedia suggests that the term did, in fact, originate with muzzle-loaded artillery. Good on you for correcting me.

I'm sure that applies for some combination of bow, arrow, and archer. I'll add it to the list of things 5e has done to irritate me.

 

Has anyone here participated in the Fairborn Community Gardens in the past? I'm trying to get an idea of what the "normal" approach is, and what the general expectations are.
