All Activity

When I was a kid, I was quite the chemist. We did alot of rocketry and made some of our own engines. We were always making stuff that would burn or blow up. I even had a metal building in the back yard that was my lab. Lots of chemicals and labware. I found a recipe to make a paint that once dried, an impact would make it explode. One chemical that I didn't have was fulminate of mercury. So I started calling chemical suppliers to find it. One person told me "you can't buy that. It's too dangerous !" Sure enough, I couldn't buy it. Horace

If you don't have your quarter the head of a key works. Aldi's is a German owned chain.

Inheritance from a Nigerian Prince?

I’ve already sold his number to info harvesters. By the morning he’ll be invested in a diamond mine and also cinnamon harvesting operation in Southeast Asia.

Would consider any trades or partial trades?

Is it against the rules somewhere to call people out?

I can tell that I need to fill my casefeeder when the sound of the tumbling brass becomes more diminished. I don't need to use any mirrors and I don't count how much brass I have in the hopper. Just me.

Some local farm raises Bison. Available in a few shops in the area. Have added it to chilis, it works well.

Two Hundred Forty-Nine Years and Two Days Ago...

Resembles X-rays of my foot!! 🥴

OK YOU LOT!!! ........ it's tomorrow already, ............... can you please hold the noise down ...... 🙃

Busy days in ER and the surgical suites here in Canada and down your way.

That's the thermite. Any small secondary fires are just regular fires.

Howdy all, Due to the extreme heat tomorrow, Cowboy Dress will be Optional. Please do what you need to do to stay cool. I will have a cooler of water out. Make sure you hydrate today. Thanks!

My wife commented on how dirty and unkept this one looked. There’s another one across town that used to be a Sports Authority and she says it’s in much better, organized condition, must be the part of town that the one I visited is because it was a mess.

Maybe 10 years ago Big lots did it. For about a month. People would walk up to the store, find out they had to pay to get a cart, turn around and go back to their car. After losing a bunch of business they took all the locks off their carts.

The "deposit" for the cart is so you'll bring it back. That way you don't have to have an employee to round up carts in the parking lot and from the cart corrals. Many years ago there was another big box store that did the same thing, but I don't recall the name right now.

A very long time ago, like a phone call, that was a dime. Dropping the dime with new meaning!

I'd never even hear of Aldi stores before seeing this thread. And outside of airports have never encountered "quarter deposit" shopping carts. What's next... pay toilets?

I visited uncountable Grocery stores, Supermarkets and Convenience Stores doing a job I had as a young man. Owner, Store Manager, and in most cases, Chain or Corporate Manager to a lesser extent control performance, service and cleanliness. Good manager, generally good store, regardless of others in the brand.

The Aldis here (3 of them within a 5-6 miles radius) are all super clean. Well stocked and the people are very friendly.

The ones here take cash or credit cards.

It was really nice to see the national anthem played the way it goes. No extra notes, no long drawn out notes, no fanfares before or after.
