Not paid enough to say "no refunds" but given the ability to authorize giving out money for unofficial reasons? If it's unauthorized, then they're essentially stealing cash and assuming an extremely high risk of getting fired to avoid confrontation.

I've never worked a gas station, but I've worked fast food and I would have been fired soooo fast if I were giving out unauthorized refunds. Maybe even prosecuted if the amount was large enough. I've seen people fired for less.

Who in their right mind is accepting returns of lottery tickets, scratched or not????

Yes. Before youtube premium, the youtube app let you do this with no issue. They later paywalled it. It's not a technical problem.

People with lots of time and friends prefer multiplayer games more than people with little time and friends. Go figure.

Idk, a tablespoon is the largest spoon-based unit

Yes. A very large part of what made the holocaust so terrible was that it was very effective at killing people.

Compared to dumping white phosphorus over hospitals and refugee camps, killing 2 (?) children during an attack that targeted hundreds/thousands is many orders of magnitude more precise. I hate dead innocents as much as anyone, but you gotta admit the pagers were effective and included way less collateral damage than the methods Isreal has employed in recent history.

The point of the post isn't to praise the pagers attack. It's to point out that Isreal is capable of causing less collateral damage in Gaza but chooses not to.

Isn't it a requirement in any Alien movie that only a single person on the entire crew isn'd dumb as a rock?

The thing is, Infinity War felt like a complete film. They could have just stopped there since the ending was satisfying enough on its own.

In contrast, Spiderverse's "ending" was just an abrupt roll-credits in the middle of the movie. It doesn't feel anywhere close to a complete film on its own. It's more like if someone was talking and

Yeah, it felt like half of a movie. Just kinda ends abruptly. Which is a shame, because the rest of the movie was quite good but the ending takes it down a few notches. Should be remedied once the sequel/part 2 comes out, but for now that non-ending is a blight on an otherwise great film.

Title is somewhat misleading. It's not for anything video-related. It's for using a (probably free) photo of actress Cuca Escribano without permission.

Looking to pick up a self cleaning litterbox but there are a lot of options. The coolest one I've seen by far is the CatGenie Automatic Cat Box, but it's nearly $500 and seems a little overkill.

I've also seen that the PetSafe Litterbox is a very popular choice, but it uses proprietary litter refills and crystal litter when I'd prefer clay litter.

I've been getting away with a $15 do-it-yourself litterbox just fine for a while, but I think I (and my cat) would appreciate something that doesn't require daily maintenance. Something as simple as an automatic rake would be interesting.

My main goals are:

  1. Requires as little maintenance as possible while keeping my cat happy and the smell under control
  2. No proprietary lock-in (I can use my own litter)
  3. Doesn't break the bank
  4. Built well, won't break / easy to fix / good warranty / cheap enough that I can just buy a new one if it breaks

While I am looking for budget friendly options, I'm also curious on the more expensive options. I can't imagine what justifies spending $700 on a Litter-Robot when emptying a litterbox manually isn't that bad and the CatGenie is $500 and promises zero-maintenance. Have you had good luck with premium options like that?
