        I'd cut out employers first, honestly. Then I'd change how things are priced, from a service delivery model to an outcome. -- nm - Roger More Mar 7, 14:36 2
        
        Pricing is the heart of the problem. -- nm - mara Mar 7, 14:58

Notwithstanding the connection to California's high-speed rail project being tenuous at best, this grant approval seems shady as f*ck. -- (link) - znufrii, definitely not 40 Mar 7, 13:23
Ty, from last board. Was your question because of my FB post? - Subversive Mar 7, 13:15 5
- Yup, totally because of that. Had no idea what you were talking about. -- nm* - ty97 Mar 7, 13:17 3

    - I could stand that, but I despise the exaggerated "rrrrroll up the rim" ads. Ironic post-life punishments should go to everyone involved. -- nm - Roger More Mar 7, 13:57 1
      - It's a dark plot to get us to learn how to roll our Rs when the Spanish take over. -- nm - Reagen Mar 7, 14:04

I am still sad that time travel has been dis-proven. -- nm - Spawn Mar 7, 13:06 6
- when? where? who? -- nm - mud Mar 7, 14:26
- Yeah but you can probably make a LMD of yourself - eag Mar 7, 13:27
- Did anyone check out 'Time After Time'? Or the 'Taken' show with Rollo? - Diva Mar 7, 13:17 2

Finally the answer to the big plot hole in Die Hard is answered -- (link) - eag Mar 7, 12:49 4
- I always thought he just didn't give Hans a loaded weapon as a precaution in case "Bill Clay" was one of them. -- nm* - Inigo Mar 7, 12:53 3
  - I always assumed it was a test. There was no reason to give a complete novice a gun. He is more likely to accidently shoot you. - GregW Mar 7, 13:34
  - Yup. Cops instincts and all. -- nm - Spawn Mar 7, 13:00
  - yeah, either way, you don't just hand some dude a loaded gun. -- nm - groiny Mar 7, 12:56
