Re: April NC thread

I think the only car torrents you would be able to find would be rare old classics that must be torrented to be preserved.

Re: April NC thread

LirvA, what happens when it doesn't work? Do they just call you a liar? Just say, "Sorry, we need a receipt?" Because then I'd assume you'd further press that they didn't give you one, basically forcing them to call you a liar.

Re: April NC thread

Pretty much. If it doesn't work there then I'd just go across the street and get free food at the other fast food place.


If an employee says "he's lying" you should say "that's not a very professional way to treat a dissatisfied customer, is it?" with their manager right there.

If the manager isn't budging you're just gonna have to move on.

Re: April NC thread

Lol, holy crap they have made the first 3d printed car already.

But yeah, $500 is the current cheapest one on the market i was reading earlier on engadget, its limited to a 6 inch cube. We are so close to a 3D printer anyone can afford that can do reasonably sized items which could turn a lot of industries on their head.

No way. Fraud, maybe, but certainly not stealing.


The pizza thing is obv.

Just because uneducated voters like something doesn't make it right. You could put issues like segregated schools, $20 an hour minimum wage, 50% state tax for people who make a million a year, public hangings and many other ridiculous laws on the ballot and in many states people would vote for things like these. What is a president to do if one of these laws were voted in by a state?

The president would do nothing afaik, the first is unconstitutional so they couldnt enforce the law if people voted for it and the other two have precedence as state rights.

Plus the first is specifically illegal under the CRA.

The way the law is written they're "Affecting a Citizens Arrest and turning the suspect over to a Peace Officer".

I could always tell when it was gonna be a stoner.

Sober people steal things of value.

Popular stoner items:
Cheetos/Doritos/Hot Fries etc
COLD 2 liter drinks (literally always cold. Never saw a warm bottle once)
Fruity snacks
Frozen Pizza (how do you conceal a large frozen pizza?)
Crest White Strips
You gotta drink the bottle right away on the walk/drive home and still have some for when you eat the pizza imo.

Didn't pick up on the sarcasm
Anything like that would be good in my book. There are a **** ton of ways in which our government goes about doing **** in a completely meat headed illogical way, instead of just using some common sense. Marijuana is an excellent example of that.

That was my point. What is the federal govt supposed to do if voters vote for something that is illegal under federal law, like legalizing drugs.
