I think you might be confusing a doorman with a bellhop.

It’s that moe guy.

Welcome to post-truth.

It’s a beaut!

You suffer from false nostalgia. The old machine is a beast, yes, but it has a swing shuttle. It holds very little thread, is hard to wind and load, gets tangled and makes a really crappy lockstitch. Has no reverse, piss poor stitch length adjustment and not enough balls to handle any layers without the belt slipping.

The new one is a piece of crap in comparison of build quality, but in terms of function and utility it blows the old one out of the water. And price.

I have an old one and have used it lots. It’s fun to use, but far from efficient. I’ll keep it around for the apocalypse but I’ll use a modern one from at least the 70’s (the nineteen seventies).

10 packs of underwear for $8.99.

Because God does it all the time. Duh.

Why wouldn’t it be? Probably some game like importing a side of beef and cutting it up in the US, poof “Product of America”

I’m a tradesman and get paid in $100 all the time. A guy from the city gave me $100 for a job. My wife, who is a treasurer for Girl Guides, traded her cookie money of $10’s and $20"s for my $100 and deposited it in the bank. Now the FBI can prove that my customer has an unhealthy cookie addiction.

Exactly.

Doesn’t work very well if you buy something directly from someone. Or if your cash is given out as change. Seems like it would make a wildly inaccurate profile.

You put underpants on the seat.

It’s happening to governments too, but they call it austerity.

You could rescind it and forgive yourself?

I’d call them crown staples. Putting vise grips on the end to keep it straight and tapping it with a hammer can work sometimes to get it through the other side. Pulling it straight through this side will probably damage the wood. Probably pest to just cut them flush and move on.

Sometimes a calculator is a clock.

Aha. I see the angle they’re going for. “we need more energy to compete against the baddies undercut the working class”

Because they need to know who to target ads for gutter cleaning systems and fat man t-shirts.

You mean 29 31/32 cm

This is apples and oranges.
