    why don't more Delivery companies do this.
  • Rebuttal: wealthy neighbourhoods have:

    • the most security cameras and, potentially, paparazzi.
    • the fastest police response times.
    • better detective work because the victims are actually people of 'importance'.
    • possibly personal security

    All the vans have GPS for 'productivity' tracking of the employees. You're better off unloading it.

    P.S. I don't endorse criminal behaviour. This is all hypothetical :P

  • Suppose I were a nefarious criminal, and I want it to commit a low risk high reward crime, I would wait until boxing day / black Friday / big sale day and have me and a bunch of my friends order some items. Then track all the delivery trucks and rob them.

  • Said Candyman in the mirror five times. Don't know what I was expecting. If it worked, I'd be brutally murdered. If it didn't nothing would have changed. There was no positive outcome to this action, onlybad and neutral..

    Wave-Powered Desalination System Produces 13,000 Gallons of Drinking Water a Day From Each Buoy
  • Assuming:
    Current ocean salinity = 35 kg / m3. Current ocean volume = 1.4 * 1018 m3. Current human fresh water usage = 4 * 109 m**3.

    (35 * 1.4 * 1018) / (1.4 * 1018 - 4 * 10**9).

    = 35.0000001 kg / m**3. = New ocean salinity.

    I think they'll be okay.

    Do you agree?
  • Full disclosure, I am not an astronaut, nor do I have full context behind the quote. I think that curiosity and exploration would help. Also, warp drive made all those planets a whole lot less lonely

    Wish | Official Trailer
  • Basing this solely on the trailer, the King is not wrong. Not everyone's wishes should be granted. As the ruler / government of the country, choosing the wishes that have the best impact on the well-being of the kingdom is kind of his job. Catching the person who is granting wishes randomly, or just all wishes is a reasonable course of action for the King. Of course, he's probably a baby-eater or something equally villainous to make the audience hate him.

    Hey Starfleet, you developed that cloak awfully fast even though you weren't supposed to be researching it until five days ago.

    What's a dead giveaway that someone is a bad person?
  • How often and long they twirl their mustache.

    This is not a dead giveaway as it will take some time and observations but, how often they react to adversity by blaming other people.

    Reminder, if everywhere you go smells like dog doo, maybe check under your shoe.

    When restaurants shut down, why isn't it more common for them to publish their recipes?
  • Depending on the restaurant and the bankruptcy proceedings, the recipes may be considered an asset that can be sold to recoup losses. Those assets only have value when they are secret.
