She literally just walked up until her legs were an inch from my chair and just stood there not saying anything. I think i generally give off a pissed off aggressive vibe because i don't really get poo poo like this. In the rare event i go i usually look them up and down and say something like "You alright there?" or "What, you want to sit on my loving lap or something?"* and they get the message. *May backfire is spectacular fashion. There's an awesome Turkish restaurant up the road from my old shop, and there's some beast waitress in there who always looks at me like she'd loving eat me.

I finally drove our "new" 2014 Dodge van (er, RAM cargo van  ) and holy poo poo the Pentastar 3.6 impressed me above 4K. Probably mostly because I was in an empty minivan with only front seats. Surprisingly little torque steer for ~300hp through the front wheels.

Tomarse posted:Cheers mate! I'm gonna give this a try next week. I haven't got a pizza stone so its going on a baking tray. Is it going to try and stick to the tray? In my rush to type that all out while I should've been working I failed to mention that bit! If you're using a backing tray slam it in the oven while it's heating up then when you've got your dough ready, chuck some flour on the tray, lay the dough on and create the pizza. Flour will stop it sticking so it'll slide off the tray easily. Some places use corn flour but I can never remember to buy any. As for beer dough, leave this stuff in the fridge for a week and see what happens. It ferments pretty well! Definite beery scent to it after that long. I'm not actually sure what the addition of actual beer would do, give it a shot on a smaller amount of the mixture, it's not like it's going to ruin anything expensive. freelop posted:Cheers dude, didn't realise you need a special flour to make pizza bases. And you don't need any special dough as such, for Italian authenticity I'll knock up a bowl using 00 flour but it's the same process. Regular flour just make sure to get strong white, I usually get Allinsons, this stuff:  You should be able to find this or an equivalent in any supermarket.

Why work when everyone else can pay for you to do gently caress-all? The issue is it's something that is hard to balance. You don't want people not taking benefits they need, and are entitled to, out of a feeling of shame for taking a handout, but you don't want to have people believing that they deserve everything on a plate. You don't want people having more and more kids they can't afford because their benefits will increase, while at the same time you don't want to gently caress people over and have them starving in the street (especially the kids themselves). People tend to be pretty simplistic and go right off the deep end one side or the other when it comes to discussing it, too.

Mostly government programs. Also, every internet slogan we are the anonymous 99%'ers, bullshit bullshit is absolutely true. You see, It's not their fault for not taking initiative in their own life, but everyone else's especially corporations, maaaaan. I can't stand to be in the same room with him for that long. He tells people the VW XL1 was never brought to the states because big oil paid to have it not imported because it would dig into their profits, he's a huge proponent of both Huffington Post and Infowars.

Sure, enough bitching may cause them to reevaluate and decide that the extra costs are justified in order to not be evil in the eyes of the hoi polloi, but I don't think it's very likely. This is what I don't understand about buying from Amazon. I don't pay sales tax on anything I buy from Amazon which automatically makes it 10 percent cheaper to buy from Amazon than it is to buy locally. And that's before the fact that 99 percent of the time, it's cheaper on Amazon by a margin of 1 to 50 percent. Sometimes more before taking into consideration the lack of sales tax. Anyway, are you saying that Amazon doesn't pay tax, period, or they just don't pay sales tax to the state in which the product was ordered from? Both? Because if it's simply sales tax, why would they fight that? I am temporarily ignoring that me having to pay a sales tax on goods from Amazon would make it somewhere in the neighborhood as what I would pay locally (depending on what it is, of course)? Because they wouldn't be paying the sales tax, I would. Or is that basically why they fight against sales tax? To keep costs lower by buying from Amazon. I desperately want to patronize local businesses, and in particular, mom and pop locally owned businesses but I'll be damned if I'm going to do so and have my costs go up by X percent. That's just not good personal financial sense. Tide fucked around with this message at 22:54 on Jun 3, 2015 |

InitialDave posted:My experience is that people coming over here from Poland etc is that they have a pretty good work ethic? Maybe it's a regional thing. From what i've seen, it's more the new wave of Bulgarians and Romanians. While a lot of them come here to work, and work hard, there are many that don't. Being unemployed and broke in Romania is not preferable to being unemployed and claiming bennies here. Under some twisted EU bullshit, if they come here they can automatically claim benefits, yet aren't citizens and have never paid into the system. Not sure which idiot thought that system up. I think we have a greater problem with English/Welsh people who just live off that poo poo and never work. The entitlement lot who think the world owes them a living and won't get a job because they're totally unskilled and the Eastern Europeans (Who are stealing all our jobs!) can do the poo poo jobs like sweeping streets and picking up rubbish. They don't actually want to work, they can get the same money sitting at home killing cans of Special Brew, so why make any effort? I'm in favour of government labour/national service in place of the benefits system. Oh, you can't get a job? No problem! Get put into national service, cleaner streets programs, filling pot holes, etc. I agree with you on the balance. I think the shame associated with it comes from genuine people who need the help, but are ashamed of the connection with those who don't need it. I'm one of those simplistic people, who goes off the deep end. Actually, i go off on one about everything.

While they can find ways to not charge VAT (sales tax), and thus offer VAT-free prices which are lower/more competitive, or raise their ex-VAT prices to closer to everyone else's VAT-inclusive pricing to make more money, they can't charge VAT and not then pay that VAT to the government. That get's you properly reamed.

No, but if what you sell isn't VAT-applicable then you can reclaim VAT on anything you buy that has it, but you don't charge VAT on what you sell. Extra 20% on a good number of things.

ilkhan posted:And yet people cry "bullshit!" whenever somebody suggest a flat tax without any tax "loopholes" for those people/companies to jump through. The argument against a flat tax is that it would be more punishing to poor folks because of the cost of basic necessities. My argument against that position is the cost of the basic necessities is tougher on the lower income than the higher income regardless of the tax taken. Even if you could say "If you make below X dollars a year, you are exempt from paying tax", you would still have opposition from the people that earn a living off the tax code as it is. Imagine how many hundreds of thousands of jobs would become instantly obsolete if the tax code simply said "If income > X, then pay 10 percent" (or whatever arbitrary number).

We went to pick them up and my mate came back with 7 pizzas. Somehow they couldn't work it out and just made us 7 (large) pizzas instead of 4. (And we only paid the price of 4.)
