Your plan is certainly quicker, which is an upside.

It's probably guns. That guy who shot all those people at the music festival in Vegas snuck a small arsenal into his room and they didn't notice until the shooting.

What a goddamn weirdo

I remember starting basically everything I've ever done in my life with just the dumbest questions you could possibly ask. I think it's important to remember those times and take it easy on new folks. No one ever progresses past that point if they get shot down the second they ask their first question.

Those pins come on the end of guitar strings, so there's no need to replace it. When you get new strings, you'll basically just slide the unfinished end through the hole there and then pull it through until the pin catches.

I have clear memories of the pastor at my parents' church talking about how the gay agenda's next steps were legalizing bestiality and pedophilia. Probably would've been somewhere around 2014-2015. Looking back, it was absolutely the beginning of the end of me having anything to do with religion, so maybe it's actually the best sermon I ever sat through.

I'm glad the new owners decided to increase rodent pest control, leading to less food for stray cats to eat in the area.

But you don't carry the sign with you. It stays at the shelf. Sure, they could build a system that tracks you everywhere in the store and marks what price they showed you and tells the register what price to display when you check out. They'll try all that, but this won't do it yet.

Yeah, I'm not actually that worried. I've seen these in use at hardware stores for quite a while now. It's just useful to assume that Walmart is planning to fuck you over. That's a good point with BT though, many of the kind of microcontrollers that would be used for this sort of thing offer BT connectivity as well.

As long as you have a free market and not a coordinated one it will work out great for you guys too

Ah, so we're fucked

There's not really a way to do that with this technology. These are just price tags on the shelf, so if they changed the price it would change it for everyone in the store.

The article goes into this in great depth on both sides of the issue, but this is probably the most direct answer.

The drinks, dispensed by nurses as a form of medication, are meant to prevent the clients from becoming overly intoxicated while avoiding the worst effects of withdrawal, which may lead to seizures and can be fatal for those physically dependent on alcohol.

To address the "taxpayers expense" part, it's way more expensive to provide major health care than small amounts of vodka.
