If the Pres is serious about making healthcare affordable, he should require Drs., Dentists & Vets to list their prices online. gas stations must post their prices, but when it comes to professional services, shopping around is frowned on. If people knew cost beforehand, Drs. would lower prices and the invisible hand would take over.

Every time I run out of ink, I just buy a new printer. Here’s Why. - http://techxav.com/2009...
Brian Johns, Steven Perez, rowlikeagirl and 2 other people liked this
It's terrible that the industry makes it that way but it does not absolve the consumer of guilt for buying it and creating more waste. Wanna waste less? Buy a laser printer.
- Spidra Webster
looked at the cost of colour toner carts, tho? not much better.
- Joe Silence is silent
Spidra, laser printers aren't much better. The toner cartridges are expensive, not as bad as buying a new printer right away, but you will only replace them once, maybe twice before you get to the point where the photoreceptor drum needs to be replaced, the thing is so horribly expensive that you might as well buy a new one. Cost wise at least, waste wise buying the damn drum is better. :(
- Rachel Lea Fox
That has not been my experience with them. I used an Apple Personal LaserWriter for more than a decade. Never needed to replace the drum. Only replaced the cartridge once or twice.
- Spidra Webster
But now printer manufacturers mandate that their drums will only last for X pages, and they chip the drums and track the pages, then stop the printer from working until you replace the drum *even though the drum still works* in order to get you to buy a new drum. It's despicable.
- Kevin Fox
i just stopped using my printer, :(
- chaz2b
It only gets better... I purchased an $200+ HP WiFi capable printer with 6 separate ink cartridges. Then when it came time to replace some of the colors I discovered that the ink cartridges that came with the new printer were about half of the capacity of the normal replacements. I guess waiting for a set of normal capacity cartridges to get used up before the customer buys a new printer was just taking too long!

Brian Johns and Penguin It's Cold Outside liked this
"Two men who used pellet guns to shoot at cars on Interstates 680 and 880 earlier this year will be sentenced to more than three years in prison after pleading guilty to three felonies apiece, Alameda County prosecutors said today. Shawn Philip Wagner and Rojelio Gomez, both 21 when they were arrested in May, will also pay restitution to the 42 victims whose cars were hit by pellets. Most of the shootings happened on I-680 between Mission Boulevard and Washington Street in Fremont. The two men were also connected to nine shootings that occurred on I-880. The shootings, which took place over several months, resulted in vehicle damage and a minor injury to one driver, according to the California Highway Patrol. Wagner and Gomez each pleaded guilty to two felony counts of assault with a deadly weapon and one felony count of vandalism, authorities said. Each will be sentenced to three years and eight months in state prison."

Wow... That's more than a tad ridiculous. Also, if it's mandatory, don't call it a gratuity. Call it a "we're not equipped to service large groups effectively so we bump up your price for the inconvenience of you patronizing our establishment" tax. Too wordy?
- SAM
Yet another reason I'm against tipping. Fold the real costs of your business into the price of your product. That way rude people won't stiff you. And low-level workers won't be taking the hit for the people higher up.
- Spidra Webster
Reading that is just...WOW! It's a failure of common sense on behalf of Lehigh Pub AND the cops.

I'll play devil's advocate. They had a party of six. The restaurant had a policy that large parties pay an 18% gratuity. The $73 bill arrived, and that total included the 18% gratuity. The couple can't arbitrarily decide to only pay $62 out of the $73 because they didn't like the service or the food. They can and should have complained to the manager, or paid then written a letter. Did...

- Stephen Mack
On the flip side of that though, if the menu doesn't say mandatory 18% gratuity then it's kind of false advertising to charge them one price and than switch out another. When I waited tables, I never had any problems with the big tables. They may not turnover as fast, but if you treat them right more often than not you win.

Girls .. do you hear this? if you come to my house the tip is included.
- Mahmood Padura
I don't understand something from the article. The manger said the food would have been comped and they refused and didn't pay the tip instead. Was the food bill really that much lower than 16 dollars, that they needed to bring in the police?
- Dario Gomez
Dario, it's unclear if the manager really did offer to comp or not. :)
- Stephen Mack
In many other places (such as Sweden) - the tip is already included in the bill & determined by % (it is also referred to as a gratuity)
- Mekkar
In Sweden, they also have fair pricing laws that not only make them include the price of the tip into each item, but it also includes tax. If something is $5 krona, then it's actually $5 krona and not $5 + $3 more in taxes and surcharges.
- Davis Freeberg
See what happens when you don't pay a proper tip?
- Alex Scoble
@ Stephen I'm just thinking to it's stupid to lie to the press at this point.

To me this seems to be abusing the penal system. What about rapes, drugs, robbery's, and real crimes?
- H0llywoodWh0re
If serving staff got paid at least the legal minimum wage, instead of the next to nothing they get now, then restaurant customers wouldn't effectively have to pay for their food AND the servers wages as well. A tip, in my view, should be a voluntary bonus for the staff , that while welcome, isn't needed to bring them up to a living wage.

"It was a slice of Bohemia in a city of commerce, a gathering of intellectuals striking out against what they see as mindless and saccharin art. On Friday night, dozens of artists converged on a small underground gallery off a dark and narrow alley in the heart of North Beach. The gallery on Bannam Place - which for decades has drawn poets and painters and bootleggers - hosted a one-night show called "Kinkade Cannibalized! - An Exhibition of Augmented Thomas Kinkade Paintings." Kinkade, who calls himself the "Painter of Light" and is said to be the most collected living artist in America, creates images of Christmas chapels dusted in snow, of cottages next to placid lakes, of mountain paradises, of the perfect yellow rose and of pools of serenity. "A lot of artists really sort of loathe Thomas Kinkade," said Kevin Evans, who curated the show.

Is there a David beetle? Cos if there is, it's impromptu youtube movie time!

Interestingly, really big insects and other arthropods seem *less* creepy to me. At least they don't scamper around and crawl on you and buzz suddenly. I've held a giant hissing cockroach and a giant millipede (all those little moving feet felt *weird*). They aren't like bugs at that size. It's more like holding a hamster... or maybe a small lobster?

I'm with you on the big bugs, Kamilah. The little ones worry me.

If Jackie ever found one of those walking around our house, I would be deaf forever. I do, however, like that I have a much greater chance of killing it with a baseball bat than the little ones that always seem to get away. At least there's that.

Here is a proper giant grub. This one is real. A Goliathus, or Goliath beetle, larva. http://www.naturalworlds.org/goliath...

Thank you, Brian Johns!

Yep, they can be big. I think that's why the other pic didn't phase me or make me think right away that it was faked. I know these critters can be huge.

The other one is enhanced, I think. It's just a *little* too big and too fat. They could have just left it this size. This is awesome enough.
- Kamilah Gill
When I went to the larger pic, I could see the blurring around the edges, so I wasn't sure if it was just a fluke or if someone had played with the picture. Regardless, I knew it was possible for the grub to be large.

Anyway QUIT CALLING THAT OTHER ONE A CATERPILLAR, PEOPLE!
