idea how ACLS works. I'm just curious as to why you think that.

I've seen the government in action. I've worked directly in situations where open fraud was occuring. Situations where contractors controlled which other contractors were hired and of course kickbacks were being handed out.

My favourite is the times when a contract is running out but money is left over in the contract so the contractors all work overtime DOING NOTHING just to bill the crap out of the government. But wait there's more... Then the government employees get called in to work OVERTIME DOING NOTHING to test the big fat nothing the contractors have done! It's all to make the senior beaurocrats look good! It's really funny to watch it all go down. There's catered food, sometimes beer and wine provided. Once we watched a few movies on the projector.

PS. Pop has an expiry date.

Hmm couple more interesting tidbits for y'all.

I used to cut keys @ Keyman back in the day and the trick to getting any key to work is the wire buffer. If you get keys cut and they dont work dont get a recut, get it buffed for at least a minute until the surface is smooth.

OLD NAVY: Apparently they let everything illegal go. Shoplifting, counterfeit money, bogus returns, bad cheques everything to keep the Customer Experience. No one wants to see a shoplifter apprehended while they are having an organsmic shopping experience. So while this is illegal, I'm sure Old Navy aren't saints either with their sweatshops and all.

The ONT Government: Many inside the government are shady. Things like: misappropriation of funds, illegal activity, drinking on the job, fraud, racketeering, overbilling for overtime, sexual harassment, etc..etc...but they usually grieve warnings or firings and get to keep their job.

And just some general shadiness like one Manager who lied to his dept. saying there were no funds for training, when in fact he used the budget to get an MBA.

When you buy Topsoil for around $18-$25 a yard, if the supplier has their own screener, their cost is around $2.50 a yard. If they don't have their own screener, their cost is around $7.00 a yard.

With driveway gravel or any type of gravel, buy it directly from the gravel pit and skip going to the local supply company. Your neighborhood landscaping company usually sells materials by the yard and so on. Most of the time, you are not getting what you pay for, as most loader operators are instructed to shake down the buckets or learn other shady ways to load people.

By going directly to the pit, you are buying it by weight and at a much cheaper price.

Some interesting tidbets:

Hotels: Do not drink from the glass cups next to the sink in your room. Unless you want mononucleosis, herpes, staph infections, etc. I'm sure one of you fellas had to at least experience one of those in your lifetime.

Grocery stores: It depends on the grocery stores, but graveyard shifts make the stores open with hidden entrances for late workers to come in. Store managers usually arrive like a normal employee when the store opens at regular times. Managers actually have hidden offices inside the grocery store where they can see a bird eye's view of the whole grocery - it's unreal. Imagine you having skybox seats at a football game - similar to that.

For those who don't visit the DnS:

There is nothing wrong with saturated fats and dietary cholesterol. Trans fats and Poly-6 unsaturated fats pose a much greater health risk.

Not necessarily views of the DnS:
Except for maybe oatmeal, all grains should be avoided. Even whole wheat bread packs an insulin jolk compared to fruits, veggies, and sweet potatoes/yams.

However, yellow coke can often be a sign that this poorly manufactured cocaine has not been cut much. Often yellow coke is the result of small fish making enough and then selling it to distributors or getting it in the states themselves to cash out and live in some tropical paradise. If you are lucky enough you can get this shit completely uncut because has yet to pass to through any middleman's hands. The reality of the situation is that nearly all coke is cut to 50% once it hits NA or EU soil which is why it is so hard to get very pure white coke. It can happen but it is unlikely without significant connections. But don't think that yellow coke always means it will be good.

Well, personally I've seen both sorts. The connect I had years and years back when I used to fuck with it was 90++, came right off the boat to us... it was hella white too, almost like dry wall colour I guess. Mother of pearl is a pretty good example.

The good thing about here is the port is huge but probably has the least security of any in NA, either side of the coast.

My wife works for a dentist. He told her that "deep cleanings" are a scam. 95% of the people who get deep cleanings did not need them. A deep cleaning is the most profitable procedure a dentist can do, since the insurance pays for nearly all of it no questions asked. And a deep cleaning can be recommended for anyone, unlike crowns or fillings.

Also, when I worked at Barnes & Noble about 7 years ago, they allowed their employees to borrow books like it was a library. You just had to bring back the book in new condition. So all the books you thought were brand new have probably been lying on the floor next to the toilet of an employee for a week. And for those of you who've seen the Seinfeld episode, there is no way to "flag" a book that's been in the bathroom LOL.
