NJ Does Not Renew Trump's Liquor Licenses At 2 Golf Clubs After Felony Conviction
  • So if someone is convicted of like a gun crime or rape or murder as long as they were sober at the time they can keep their liquor license? What if they are in jail? Can a person own a bar, get convicted of homicide in the first degree, and keep with bar open with their license even if they are behind bars?

    I'm not questioning this case, I'm just curious since if only liquor crimes can take a way a license that brought a lot of questions to my mind .

  • Barcelona will eliminate ALL tourist apartments in 2028 following local backlash: 10,000-plus licences will expire in huge blow for platforms like Airbnb - Olive Press News Spain
  • Ok I agree in theory.tyat said I rented a room when younger. In a house that has 2 other older men in the house.

    Yeah roommates suck. But I couldn't afford the rent I pay now if they were not there. I was on a month to moth basis for contract and it was a room in a house instead of an apartment means something.

    Renting a room isn't that bad, renting nightly is....

  • This timeline is wild...
  • I think it's "a 7 year old" "blood walking" ... Back in the day it used to be "crypt walking" and the bloods and crypts were rival gangs.

    Anyway blood/crypt walking is a "dance". Think of it like almost a jig or skanking but gangster style.

  • What are things most people would be surprised are requirements to hold the job you have?
  • I'm also a software engineer (at least in title). I agree with the social skills but a different thing came to mind. The ability to actually watch and understand what people are trying to do. I'm lucky as all my software is internal to my company. I don't make what we sell, I make what tests the products we sell. And yes I test the tests and also test the test's tests 😭.

    I'll give an example. I have an operation where the operator is to scan a number off a paper before testing. That number is for traceability we need to know which test results are for which unit. Previous engineer said since it's scanned off the unit it will never be incorrect as long on the printed barcode is correct(separately validated) so no need to verify format.

    I ran into an issue where units had an extra zero either before or after the number. So if number was 12345 sometimes it would be 012345 or 123450.

    I went to watch the process. The operator scanned the unit( I watched them work all day, this was 1 unit out of a whole days work) and when they put the scanner down the scanner's corner was on the 0 button of the keypad.

    We did a 2 phase remiduation. Stage 1. Operator instructed to log in and then place keyboard on shelf away from workplace. Stage 2. Verify the number is in correct format in code. Yes the code update is simple but in our field needs weeks of work to test, validate, and release.

    Actually watching the operator closely identified the problem. The code was not the issue, the code passed all requirements and tests. The issue was the tests and requirements did not match the user's experience but if I stayed in my cube as for weeks I would not of been able to find the bug.

  • Airport security be like part 2
  • We can't let you bring this bottle of "water" on the plane because it me an explosive...so I'm just gonna to throw it into this garbage can full of all the other potential explosives in the most densely packed area of the airport...

  • No-win scenario
  • Yes, as I said it depends on you and your partner. Also the point is basically to say "I understand the struggle you are experiencing, here is some encouragement" without being a machine...

    As another user said in a better way...do you want to vent or do you want solutions? If vent recognize their pain and encourage them, if solutions try to help.

  • New game!
  • If your dog is ever running and you can't catch them act hurt. Pretend to fall and hurt your knee. Most likely it will come back and check on you and you grab it, unless it's playing with something else then good luck

  • No-win scenario
  • Yup some idea. I think I heard it on Reddit but you put it succinctly.

    Anyone else reading this keep in mind this changes with partners and situations and maybe by day...without specific examples with lot of details it's hard to tell. If you don't know, ask kindly.

  • No-win scenario
  • I was taught a long time ago a simple idea ... Men hear a problem and try to solve it...”i don't know x" ok let me teach you" or "I can't get this thing to work" ok let me try if I can.

    Women on initial compliant some times just want to know that you know they are struggling. Instead of "let me teach you” you could say "I'm sure you will understand" or "I know it's difficult but you got this".

    Yes it varies by person some men prefer the latter and some women prefer the former. As with most things it's up to you to know your partner and what they want...

  • Weird bug/feature on pixel 6 I just discovered

    I don't know why this is a thing but if I tap the back of my pixel 6 three times in rapid succession it begins to play my audio book on audible.

    From what I can tell audible has to be open but doesn't need to be the app on the screen(for example I can start and stop it while typing this post). Also the phone has to be "on" (meaning the screen is displaying but doesn't need to be unlocked.

    Is this just my phone or dies it happen on other people's phone too?
