    When it comes to cheap food products, I suspect the customer will tolerate "dynamic pricing" downward (e.g., happy hour) much, much more than they will tolerate it upward (order at lunchtime, pay an extra $3!)

    That reminds me, though....the campus egg roll carts had "dynamic pricing" before it was cool.  If I had a class that ended around 4:00, I'd walk by one of the carts on the way home and ask "what do you have left, and how much for all of it?"  I often got something like 2 orders of indian bread, 4 eggrolls, and whatever hell else they had for $5 or so.  I could even haggle. "That doesn't sound that great.  I'll give you $3 for it all."

    Yes, although I suspect that the standard menu price will still raise some, but the discount will be less than current price. 

  2. Dynamic pricing, aka happy hour, has been a staple in restaurants for as long as I have been alive. What's the resistance with the application to fast food? I suspect in 10 years this will be the standard model.

    That statement, Rust's father, the Tuttle relationship, and the symbology were all connections to S1 that went unaddressed. Felt insulting to the viewership to bring those items up and not follow through. 
     

    Maybe I missed it while watching female janitor after female janitor walk into the room like it was a clown car during the ending exposition, but how did the janitors know Anna K was murdered by the researchers? 

    Because the only star shaped screwdriver in the state was found in the hidden lab.

  4. Radiology suggests injecting a pellet into my liver to hopefully kill the two large (golf ball+ size) lesions on the left lobe. There are some 1 cm lesions on the other lobe though so it's unclear how those will be handled. Would have to be paired with colon tumor resection (11cm!). Meeting with the surgeon on Monday and liver specialist Wednesday, so we'll see what their thoughts are.

    Spent the days before my latest scan filled with dread, convinced my luck had run out and I'd be full of goblins. But then I decided, "Fuck cancer, I'm gonna have a good day no matter what cancer wants to do."

    Saw the doc this morning, she handed me the report, and summed it up: "This was a GOOD scan." Nothing grew, some lesions even went down a little.

    I told her I posted on a football board where there was a cancer section and I'd share this good news. She wants me to tell all y'all fuckers to buck up, eat healthy, take your medicine, and be of good cheer.

    Now to avoid falling down the stairs.

    This is the baseline for realistic good news. Grats on the good scan buddy. 

     

    I'm meeting with radiology, surgery, and liver specialists over the next week to start planning the next course of action. Still have 5 months or so until the current treatment will lose efficacy.

  6. I personally do not have a desire to have additional romantic or sexual relationships while in a relationship. I've also never been big on one time casual sex. However, a strictly monogamous partner is not particularly important to me either. I have only "experimented" with this with one girlfriend. We would go to bars and she would flirt with other guys, get free drinks, and on a few occasions make out with a guy. But she always left with me and we had amazing sex those nights. The sex part of enm I could see myself being OK with, but I'm not sure I would be comfortable with the dating/bf aspect. 

     

    Tldr - people are all different, do what you want (ethically)

  7. For me it's wild inconsistency swinging back and forth for the week after infusion. Today is apparently a liquid day. Though my butthole is thankful it just sprays out of my belly.

    My only complaint was that it was never brought up that since the tillman's double crossed oola, logically his obligation to fill the contract would be broken as well. That obviously doesn't fit with the overarching sentiment of the final scene so it's a small quibble

    Although now that I think about it maybe he had moved on from that obligation since he said he was there for his "pound of flesh" regarding the ice skate to the ear.

    anybody have experience with Icelandair and/or airport? 🤔

    i hate flying with a passion but we're planning a family trip to Germany and France late spring, first time, so no choice there. due to my general airline hate and tendency to have claustrophobic reactions on any flight longer than about 5 hours, i've been banking Chase points for a while to be able to splurge on business class. Icelandair keeps coming up with multiple options, Denver>Frankfurt.

    i'm not a surly 1%er 😋 and our international travel has been limited to Mexico, Canada, and the Caribbean, so European travel is all new ground.

    really...i just don't want to get served surstromming or be trapped with any other kind of fermented fish during food service 😝 😜

    should i just stick with United? 🤔

    Bit late on this but... 

    I flew Icelandair round-trip mci-ams a few years ago with a connection at kef. It was the only transatlantic flight from mci at the time. Coach on the way out but upgraded to business on the return. It's not lay-flat as mentioned earlier but no different from domestic business. Yes some sort of fish was served but I don't like fish so I didn't eat it. It was nice to have two medium length legs rather than a short and long leg. Kef is very small (similar to popular Caribbean locations) but a really nice airport. Feels kind of like a mountain lodge. Viewing Iceland from above is pretty cool too. Overall I'd rate it as a positive experience for the price.
