NUance Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 I wonder why milk was relatively more expensive back then than it is now? Maybe due to lack of refrigeration back then? Or because of all the subsidies today? Quote Link to comment
ZRod Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Could be those, or the increased mechanization of the process. One person/machine can milk a many cows at once now. Quote Link to comment

NUance Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 Can you pass the written police officer exam? By Rowena Lindsay, Staff Writer, The Christian Science Monitor Do you have what it takes to protect and serve? Most US police academies have a written entrance exam that tests verbal, mathematical, and reasoning abilities.

NUance Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p58N_vmnOEM Police: Texas high school football players 'targeted,' 'blindsided' game official Greg Botelho-Profile-ImageJill Martin-Profile-Image By Greg Botelho and Jill Martin, CNN Updated 8:14 AM ET, Tue September 8, 2015 (CNN)The defensive back comes charging in full-speed, knocking his blindsided target to the ground. A teammate follows moments later by diving in helmet-first. These kinds of bone-crushing hits often land the players involved on football highlight reels. But this time, they could land the players in jail. The reason: They didn't level an opposing high school player, but a game official. No arrests had been made as of Monday, yet the Police Department in Marble Falls, Texas, said in a statement that it is investigating the incident and the two players in question. LINK Arrests? Wow. But I guess as I think about it, maybe it would be appropriate to arrest these guys for battery. I mean, there isn't much difference between this and walking up to a stranger and sucker punching him.

NUance Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 http://www.businessinsider.com/pablo-escobar-and-rubber-bands-2015-9 Pablo Escobar made some serious coin. Wow, just wow: According to Roberto Escobar, the cartel spent an estimated $2,500 a month on rubber bands needed to hold stacks of bills together. At the height of his power, Pablo Escobar's cartel supplied 80% of the world's cocaine and smuggled 15 tons of cocaine into the US per day. Wish he could've sent a couple million my way. 2 Quote Link to comment
