That should simplify Locke’s tax evasion scheme.

Oh come on! You want in and you know it. At least UCB was honest about it.

Could you imagine being 'The Worst Housing Stager?'

Its a niche market! Nobody is doing it!

AI is taking over the virtual home staging market, so Locke won't need actual homeless people shagging while doing meth on the kitchen island. He can just key that description in and the photo is generated!

So much agree. After painting and re-organizing my garage you can bet your bottom dollar there's gonna be 50 pics of the garage alone when we put it up.



As for terrible looking home photos, I've found what's 10x worse is boat photos. Some sites I've looked at for used boats (on the coast) have photos that make it look like the boat was rented by teens on spring break just before pics were taken. Just a shocking mess, no effort made clean/stage at all.

Another job taken away by AI though. But less people with tax filings so net benefit?

It grinds my gears when store owners or managers cheap out when the parent organization runs an offer. My local 7-11 changed either management or ownership recently and the new team is awful when it comes to corporate offers. This week there is an offer for $1 large slurpee. These guys replaced the large slurpee cups (32 oz) with the same size Big Gulp cup but they wouldn't manually enter the large slurpee purchase and would only scan the Big Gulp cup thus not having to provide $1 slurpees. I asked if they could offer the $1 and they said no.

They're deterring you from drinking diabetes serum. They're doing you a service, not a disservice. It might not be what you want, but it's what you need. Unless you're a teenager and still in your invincibility stage of life which I don't gather you are lol.

That's when you leave it on the counter, walk away, and drive 3 blocks to the next 7-11 and buy one there.

I'm at the other end man. Given up and now I don't care about poisoning the body as I've accepted that my years are numbered so I might as well enjoy the remaining time.

Boston Pizza is Chuck E Cheese/Bullwinkles without the animatronic characters.

Man BPs gets a bad rap and I don't get why. It's a bazillion times better than Chuck E Cheese. Like, the food is actually good. The wings are good. The meteor pizza is awesome. Love the ceasar salad. Lunch specials are delicious and cheaper than McDonald's. Kids' prices are really good.

I'd say that after the Keg, it's probably Canada's best chain restaurant.

Even if the food was Michelin star, the “kids gone wild” atmosphere turns it into a dump
