It’s typically a US chain practice, but I see it in Canada since we have plenty of Walmarts and Costcos and the like here, I did see it at Hudson’s Bay do it on at least one occasion. Not sure about Europe, not common in Japan since their return policies are different and final sale products tend to use a sticker instead.

Factor of pi-safety

This candidate’s skills seem to be in communication and I’m glad they are using it for good.

I hope this inspires a new generation of politician candidates that put action ahead of the politics in their messaging, because I admit that action alone without messaging means no one hears the good work you are doing and gives free reign to culture war misinformation and billionaire funded hate campaigns.

It has worked. Here in Vancouver, we got a city councillor whose day job is a dishwasher, because of their progressive vision and their concrete action over rhetoric to help people in our communities. He and an anti-automobile candidate beat out the incumbent party’s cop candidate and the NIMBY candidates by a wide margin.

Serious answer: Many stores have their price end in 6 or 8 to indicate items that are final sale. So it is clearance as in they don’t want it back, but really the price didn’t nominally change.

In Japan they have two types of dates, which map to “Use by” and “Best before”, but they don’t use them interchangeably or some vague middle-of-the-road term like “expiry date”. One is operative, the other is a recommendation.

消費期限 (shouhi-kigen) literally means “consumption time limit” and 賞味期限 (shoumi-kigen) literally means “guarantee of taste time limit”.

My microwave does that… in online chats my friends heard the beeping through my microphone, and still have had to remind me to take it out before too.

I would like more unity with people who share alignment with me. Except for anyone who has a slightly different opinion than me on certain issues, screw those people.

Can someone sneak in an executive order instituting free basic healthcare and education for all, in one of the bundles of paper he signs?

4. Don’t update the printer that might put DRM in after the fact.

Ah, shit. Here we go again.

Sidenote: Welcome back, buddy.

They’re shooting the dogs!

The Republicans coming in, they’re shooting the cats!

They are shooting the pets of the people that live there.

Oh, if the author had known what Trump would be doing 20 years later…

The real anti-Semites are people who think this is bad!

Don’t let your dreams stay as memes! Beh eh eheheh

If you haven’t tried modded Mario Kart Wii before, you’re missing out.

This was a sarcastic bill by a lawmaker in opposition to restricting abortion.

C&H comics have been about lewdness and shock humour for decades now, since they started, no?

I love how the “convincing the problem is magically solved” step is not between the reversing the stupid decision and making one, as one might put it logically. Yet, it explains Trump’s Republican regime perfectly.
