Even had a decent ending. Bizarro Jerry was excellent too.

How long have you been moderating? Just ask me whatever makes sense.

Do you want Ukraine to win their territory back or to surrender their land to Russia?

Adam and Eve never once complained about how freaking annoying it is to eat a pomegranate because 90% of it is dried bark and every tiny seed has its own inedible seed so I doubt that's what it was.

I, too, love when I get to prevent an entire country from invasion by an evil force, but only when I get to take credit for it. Someone else stealing my idea for peace is just as bad as someone else stealing a joke I said first, if not worse.

It's because she's a woman. They're scared.

Now imagine working for two hours and then having to eat a Big Mac.

They may have made the page purely for SEO to grab a few people considering downloading GIMP.

Receipts have a time stamp, so they'd have a record of the actual price you paid. If you paid in cash and didn't get a receipt, and if they make an exception for your return, they'd base it on when you said you bought it. You might be able to get one or two exceptions depending on who's working. With that said you'd better make a purchase of thousands of dollars and pay in cash to make sure to get at least a few dollars back for your efforts.

I've used one of those before at an airport and it worked exactly as you say. I think it was just for boarding though. I just walked forward and when I got to the front, they greeted me by name and I got on the plane. I don't remember having to show my passport or boarding pass that time either (but it was last year so I may have forgotten).

I've done my best to summarize them here with my opinions, but the article is also a quick read.

AB 1013 - bars and clubs must offer reasonably-priced or free drug testing kits.

Excellent to deter people trying to spike someone's drink. If you're worried, just get a quick test without having to even leave the bar.

AB 12 - caps residential security deposit at 1 month's rent, or 2 month's rent if the landlord owns no more than 2 residential rentals with no more than 4 units.

A+

SB 244 - requires manufacturers of electronics/appliances over $50 to provide product parts/tools/instructions to repair devices.

A+ Louis Rossmann's dream?

SB 478 - requires all mandatory fees/charges to be stated up front (no undisclosed fees such as in concert/sports tickets or lodging).

Curious what the companies will do to get around this, but it's a good start and I think should lead to a decrease in prices overall as companies have to compete through advertising.

SB 553 - employers must record violent incidents and have training on violence prevention.

They didn't have to before?

AB 28 - 11% tax on firearms/ammo.

This goes toward the "Gun Violence Prevention and School Safety Fund" which I googled and found out it goes to programs to help prevent gun violence and enhance safety at school, as well as mental health services. Overall this seems like a good thing if it works.

SB 274 - public schools with a student in "willful defiance" can't suspend/expel them, but must implement intervention programs and support for those students.

I guess this is good too?

AB 230 - public schools must provide free menstrual products in school bathrooms + more instruction from grade 3+.

Makes sense, because kids can start their periods from 10~ but some earlier.
