Yes, but the downside is:

* the old silver hairs using their powered carts as battering rams

* the old men standing in the same spot for 10 minutes, starring at the same shelf, trying to remember what they were looking for

* old women taking forever, trying to read the price per unit, to get the best deal

* I totally avoid the pharmacy section, because the old coots have no idea of which medication they need most, thus they take forever

* old people putting stuff in my cart and moving on thinking it's their cart

* and THEN, there is the checkout line, watching the old ladies trying to find the correct change in their purse; the old men that can't remember their pin number for their card; oh, shit, grandma forgot to get a toy for the grandchild - HOLD EVERYTHING, SHE WILL BE RIGHT BACK!

But, you saved 10% -

This is the one I have. Still on sale, $215 shipped. Downside is it takes hours to print the parts I have done. About an hour and a couple beers worth of assembly required. Material is less then 20 bucks for 1kg of PLA. The parts in the picture is less then 40 grams. Some of the parts I have built our CAD guy has exported from Solidworks. The rest I have done using the free Autodesk web based program tinkercad.com and converting to G-code in Cura. Both are free.

I started prototyping some stuff and our GM asked me how much a nice one is. He was thinking $10K. His jaw about hit the floor when I told him $800-1200 bucks.

$10k is the one i want

Black implies white. Life implies death. Tobacco implies marijuana.

I still refuse to believe it although I'm starting to accept it.

Was having a conversation with a young buck self starter in my group yesterday that is always looking for his next opportunity for promotion. That's when I realized that I'm now the guy everyone is waiting to retire so everyone can move up a notch as I'm the oldest one in my management chain between our lowest level employee and the CEO.

When the hell did that happen?

A few hours ago, we were having lunch with a friend and his wife.

Wife said: "I'd stay in the shopping mall, you come and take me at evening."
He said: "What would you do for 6 hours?"
She said: "According to theory of general relativity, time ticking slows down for a woman while shopping."

On the plus side the high up corporate crowd loves thee workshops so I will probably get automatic approval for my project even if outside the ROI envelope (which is actually why I pitched it as a workshop in the first place).

Wizzard level subterfuge !!1l!|

Do they carry Radiatori dried pasta? Nobody local carries it anymore and it's the only way to go with Puttanesca.

Is 'scratch and dent' similar to 'scratch and smell'?

Had to look both those up. Wal-Mart says it has it in store.

Saw 2020 Toyota RAV4 on the road. I've seen it in person at Detroit Auto Show and didn't think much of it... but today's RAV4 was lil bit modded w all black and it looked good. It kinda reminded me of BMW X Series, but better looking. Not into CUV or SUV, but this was eye opener.
