"Adrenochrome,” he said. “You won’t need much. Just a tiny taste.”
I got the bottle and dipped the head of a paper match into it.
“That’s about right,” he said. “That stuff makes pure mescaline seem like ginger beer. You’ll go completely crazy if u take too much.”
…..
“Jesus! What kind of monster client have you picked up this time? There’s only one source for this stuff….”
He nodded.
“The adrenaline glands from a living human body,” I said. “It’s no good if you get it out of a corpse.”

it's a real thing, as in a real chemical, but no one is actually harvesting it from human bodies and eating to artificially extend their lives, despite what some super smart internet people might tell you.

It's definitely SMAC, the most quotable game of all time.

Specifically, it comes from Pravin Lal, the only guy left who believes in the UN and their mission of protecting human rights and freedoms in the face of alien monsters and cultish fanaticism. With an anodyne ideology based in the End Of History 90's liberalism and decorum, Lal is the most boring, inoffensive dude who just wants things to be back to normal. And somehow the mood is just perfectly captured by how he plans to use genetic engineering and cloning technology.

Yang: "Im going to engineer a loyal race of workers"
Santiago: "Im going to build the perfect army of super soldiers"
Skye: "I'm going to gently caress that mind worm"
Zakharov: "I'm going to invent new unethical human experiments"
Morgan: "I'm going to get slightly richer"
Miriam: "This cyberpunk dystopia sucks I'm going to kill myself"
Lal: "I'm going to clone my girlfriend"

Obviously this makes Miriam the most CSPAM of them all.

its insane how much effort they put into SMAC lol. its a shame they dont make a remaster. SMAC and Civ2 in general are really fun, I don't really mind stack combat. It's less retarded than the civ 5 version anyway

This. Also the game has a mechanic that simulates climate change. SMAC is the best civ game.

Even if making calculations another way is impossible, just...take a cup out of the system and set it aside, then put it back in after you do the numbers.

so the actual problem here is they can't trust the person running the POS to not skim off the cash sales of beverages. I wonder why is that. :thunk:

I've heard of other places tracking drink sales via the cups as well, so it can't be super uncommon.

When you're doing the books, just throw enough cups into the dumpster to make the numbers add up to whatever you want them to be. #lifehack

An enterprising employee will notice that they just need to supply their own container to get it for free, unnoticed :evilbuddy:

its always funny when some lovely owner does this because a case of soda syrup works out that a 12 oz. glass costs basically nothing to fill with soda. I'm pretty sure the water and electricity usage is the expensive part. they make like 30 gallons

Silent white light filled the world. And the righteous and unrighteous alike were consumed in that holy fire.
I worked at a gas station and like 99% of our profit was from the soda fountain. We could take a loss on basically everything because we had a constant stream of customers coming in 24/7 to buy a dollar big gulp that cost like 5 cents to make

The unwritten contract of soda fountains is that if the customer fills their own cup, they get free refills.

Don’t like giving out free refills? Put the machine behind the counter.

If you want to scrimp on labour costs, free refills is the price demanded.
