What kind of knives? Pocket knives? Bowie knives? Kitchen knives?

What's your average price roughly? 50? 300? 1000?

Had similar issues, disconnecting wifi and reconnecting it on the computer usually fixes it.

My only issue with Costco was I always had to go to another store also. Like yeah I can get a bunch of my groceries for a good price but the don't have these other things I also need...

Years ago I was working as a tech support contractor and I was almost done with a project for a fire alarm company but couldn't finish that day. I told the owner of the company I'd wrap up the next day as I couldn't stay since I promised my sister I would help her move. He asked if it was her first apartment and I said yes. He said wait here, went into his office and gave me a brand new fire extinguisher. He said to give it to my sister as a house warming present.

4 months later my sister wanted to host Thanksgiving dinner. She cooked the turkey and all the fixings, only thing left to make was green bean casserole. Step one was to boil water for the green beans... While boiling water she caught the oven on fire. The apartment didn't come with a fire extinguisher but luckily she had the one I got that day when helping her move. Dinner was destroyed but the apartment was saved, no damage besides cleaning and everyone was safe. Likely it was grease and oil on the stove from cooking all the other food which caught fire.

And yes I still make fun of her for almost burning down her apartment by boiling water...

I had a great manager a few years ago. Basically it was a manufacturing job. At the beginning of the shift(or near it) he would come by you and say something like "I need 150 devices done tonight". Near the end of the shift he would come by and ask how many devices you got done.

As long as you got done the number he asked for he didn't care. Take an extra 10 minutes on lunch? Having stomach issues and used the bathroom for 30 minutes? Take a personal phone call? Had a chat with a co-worker about how they got engaged this weekend? All perfectly acceptable, as long as you got done with the 150 devices. If a machine broke or some material ran out so you couldn't complete it? Acceptable because it was outside of your control.

That said, if you didn't get the number he wanted done but everything at your station was fine I'll describe him with 3 attributes 1. Puerto Rican 2. Ex-marine 3. Drill Sargent!

Next few days he would be on you for every thing since you showed you couldn't be trusted to do what was expected. He would check periodically that you were at your station. He would check every hour or so to make sure you were on schedule to get the required work done that day instead of just checking at end of day. This of course added extra work for him which he didn't like. Do it too often and you had a not so nice "meeting".

But... Do what was expected (almost always reasonable) and he left you alone. You didn't have to watch a clock for exact minutes. It was assumed you were an adult and could accomplish what was asked without constant monitoring, until you proved you couldn't.

I have no idea, just a funny thought. What if you used your carry-on for like a 30lb turkey and started carving it up like Thanksgiving once you reach coasting altitude?

Out of curiosity...how old is sandy?

In my experience you are right but I wonder how far you could take it... Like there are outlets at most seats in modern airplanes, could I bring a hot plate and make Korean BBQ on the flight?

DO NOT DO THIS! BEST CASE YOU WILL PROBABLY BE INCONVIENCED AND HARESSED, WORST CASE ARESSTED!

Makes you wonder if the Japanese "rent-a-friend" service might actually be a good idea. Ok, need a different name but...

What's the shocker for me is there were 5 of them... Like 1 ok a person can have a mental breakdown or just mental health problems and somehow see this as a normal thing to do. But there were 5 people in the house...

There is probably 1 person who was like "she's a bitch, let's chain her up and shoot her with a bb gun" . And the other four were like" ok, that sounds totally normal and a good idea"

When I was a kid I had one of those. My parents bought it from a TV repair store. It was a combination 6" TV, audio tape player, and am/fm radio.

It was about 2 feet by 2 feet and about 8 inches thick. It weighed about 20 pounds. It has a carry handle though so I guess it was "portable"...

Oh... I misunderstood, i thought it was a fleshlight...
