Arena concessionaire Levy Restaurants debuted two DraftServ machines at Saturday’s game, which the Bulls won by double digits.
…
Customers tap the machine with their card to start pouring for 20 seconds, or until the card runs out of money, whichever takes longer. There is no limit on total service per game, but customers can only pour 40 ounces every 10 minutes. Fans at Saturday’s game seemed to serve themselves with little difficulty.
Levy is introducing the machines on a trial run this postseason, but one can imagine the concessionaire would like DraftServ to catch on among United Center guests so the company can install more and cut costs.
One veteran server at the United Center later Saturday shared the suspicion.
“I think they’re trying to get rid of us,” she said.

What happens if a cyclist runs a “dead” red light and gets hit by a car proceeding on a green light? Does the driver have to pay? As a lawyer, I would argue the cyclist was in the wrong because the “dead red” law isn’t a blanket permission to run red lights, it only says he can go if it’s safe to do so.
And while I understand the reason for this law, does anyone really think aggressive cyclists aren’t going to exploit it to routinely run red lights and cut off cars proceeding on green? I will continue to honk and yell at those jerks.

The GOP has a problem. Aside from the fact their only viable candidate has “Bush” after his first name, their chances in 2016 hinge largely on the economy, which is getting better all the time. Consumer confidence hit new highs last week, businesses are hiring, and wages are starting to rise. For the first time in over a decade, we won’t be at war, and won’t have Americans coming home in flag-draped caskets. Women voters will have their first-ever chance to vote in a female president. Republicans have to defend twice as many Senate seats as Democrats. And the Supreme Court just threw out North Carolina’s gerrymandered redistricting. It’s shaping up as a tough election cycle for the Caveman Party.

Of course, what Sloppy Bob is conveniently overlooking is that Darren Wilson was a racist thug who stopped a black teenager to slap him with a $400 fine for walking in the street in a place where a racist city government and its racist badge-wearing tax collectors ran a corrupt shakedown racket that robbed poor black people every time they ventured out of their homes while fixing tickets for their white pals. If somebody did that to me, I’d want to rip their fucking heads off, too. It was no less a murder because the victim got pissed at being bullied before dying at the hands of a racketeer.

Things aren’t looking good for the Baltimore cops who killed a black man last week by wringing his neck in the paddy wagon. Another video by a witness has surfaced. Freddie Gray, who had done nothing wrong, was stopped for making eye contact with a street cop in a bad neighborhood (of the sort where poor black people are forced to live). The official police report claims he was arrested “without force” but the original video of the incident shows an injured Gray being dragged to the paddy wagon. Once inside the wagon, the cops claim he became “irate.” Well, why wouldn’t an innocent man dragged off the street by racist bully cops be irate? Wouldn’t you be? The new video that surfaced today goes a long way toward solving the “mystery” of what happened between a healthy Gray’s arrest and a dying Gray’s ambulance ride from the police stationhouse to the hospital where he passed away a week later. This video shows the paddy wagon stopped a block away from the arrest scene, and there the cops dragged him out of the wagon, ostensibly to put leg irons on him. Even though it’s not explicit on the new video, it’s now obvious what must have happened: A burly cop physically dragged Gray out of the paddy wagon with a beefy arm around Gray’s neck, breaking his neck as he was forcibly yanked out of the paddy wagon. This incident can’t rightly be called anything but murder.

Oops, my stocks are up $2,675 now, or 22.3 times Seattle’s future minimum wage, assuming a standard 8-hour work day. What do those concession workers described in Bob’s post @1 make?

So, based on $8.25/hr., I’m “worth” 40.4 times as much as those concession workers, even though I’m sitting on my ass posting on HA and not producing a damn thing of any economic value. Oh well, that’s capitalism, which I guess is the best system there is until someone dreams up a better one.

That’ll be done by some schmuck being paid $8.25/hr., and if he doesn’t like the work or pay, he can be replaced by a robot, too. According to Bob, at least. But where is Bob going to find robots to buy $8.50 beers?
Roger Rabbit spews:
If employers won’t give minimum wage worker a raise, then what if America’s minimum wage workers vote in politicians who will? And if employers replace those workers with robots, then what if those displaced workers vote in politicians who will tax rich bosses to pay for unemployment benefits and food stamps for displaced workers? That won’t be easy to avoid, because there’s more poor workers than rich bosses. What will Bob do then? Cry into his $8.50 beer?

Oh yeah, one more thing, these same people are selling their oil stocks real cheap right now because, you know, oil is (temporarily) cheap.

I spent part of yesterday in the land of country musin and conservative talk radio only. I heard Medved claiming that only red states are doing well and millions of people are leaving California due to high taxes and Scott Walker is the best presidential candidate because he has turned Wisconsin around.
California’s population is up over 4% since 2010. Was he intentionally lying or makin’ shit up that he heard somewhere.
Wisconsin entered 2011 18th in the nation on Job growth when Walker was elected. Wisconsin is presently 40th. Scott Walker has announced that he will not make debt payments due to huge shortfall in Wisconsin’s budget so he’s right with the rest of the GOP on phony deficit reduction. Oh, and Wisconsin has a projected two year deficit of over $2 Billion dollars and won’t get through the end of the year without coming up with an additional $280million on top of the debt payments he’s borrowing to make his budget work. But hey, Walker cut taxes.

Those systems exist in bars. They have their place but they won’t make major inroads. One place I know that implemented them with great fanfare in the Los Angeles area already went to the grave.
Plus, you can pour yourself a few ounces of an unkown beer and it charges by what you poured. Minus, reputable beer bars will already do this for you for free and then you order a full one if you like it.
Plus, you can have four ounces of four different beers for basically the same price as a pint. Minus, most breweries do sample sets in the same way.
The biggenst minus is it relies on the customer to know what they want. How many ads have you heard lifetime about wine label intimidation and lack of consumer knowlegde. BevMo runs their entire marketing behind this notion that you need expert help.
I’m an outlier, I brew, I read beer blogs, if going on a business trip I spend some time seeing if a cult beer from the region is on tap somewhere that is realistic for me to get while I’m there. The bigger the “get” as far as rarity and general good recommendation of the beer nerds the more effort I’ll put in. I am in the geeky 1% of beer snobs.
Most people need someone like me behind the bar so if their regular is Anchor Porter and there are no porters on. “What might I like?” The machine can’t answer and can’t pour you a free taste of it’s opinion.
You won’t see any of the top 500 beer bars in America messing around with these machines for those reasons. It is also illegal in many states and even more municipalities withn open states to let the customer pour from the taps.
And there’s the hitch, “Guests can buy $20 or $50 cards, whose values roll over from game to game but will expire after the Bulls’ and Blackhawks’ 2015 postseason runs.” So if you want A (one) beer and don’t regularly attend games this system is useless for you.

Obama then nominated her. She must have seemed competent to Obama, one would assume.

Why else? Perhaps because she’s a woman. FIRST woman named special agent in charge within the DEA. And she criticized the president, but not until January 2014. How would it have looked during the Democrat’s War On Women meme last year had Obama bounced his own nominee for dissing him? So it happened this year, with a little help from the House, providing cover to The One for bouncing his own nominee.

@40 “When GWB43 nominated her in 2008 … Obama then nominated her … She’s an Obama appointee, RR, not a Bush appointee.”
I figured you’d come up with some claptrap like that.
“President George W. Bush announced his intention to nominate Leonhart as Deputy Administrator on July 31, 2003, and submitted her nomination to the United States Senate on October 3, 2003. The Senate confirmed her nomination on March 8, 2004.”
Then, in 2007, she became acting administrator when the administrator left, and was still in that position when …
“On April 15, 2008, the White House announced that President Bush intended to nominate Leonhart … as the next Administrator of DEA. Leonhart’s nomination was received by the Senate the same day and referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee. However, the committee did not hold any hearings on Leonhart’s nomination, and on January 2, 2009, the nomination was returned to the President under … the Standing Rules of the Senate pursuant to sine die adjournment at the end of the 110th Congress.”
Then, Obama resubmitted her nomination, and …
“On December 22, 2010, the Senate confirmed Leonhart’s nomination unanimously by voice vote.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michele_Leonhart
She was a Bush appointee, jackass. She has the head of DEA, either acting or appointed, since 2007. Bush, not Obama, installed her in that position. Obama merely kept her as a Bush holdover appointee, God knows why, because she was doing a lousy job. Maybe because he realized he couldn’t appoint a replacement because the obstructionist GOP congress wouldn’t even confirm a dogcatcher? That’s my guess.
And in case everyone has forgotten, which they apparently have (on the GOP side anyway), so was Bernanke, the Fed chief all the conservatives now hate because he saved the U.S. economy from another Great Depression in part by not listening to their claptrap economic theories, which are no more scientific than their climate change theories. (And before Bush appointed him to the Fed, Bernanke was chairman of Bush’s Council of Economic Advisors — a Republican through and through.)

I assume nothing. I believe in the fine art of craft cocktail creation. Higher-end bartenders are not at risk. Still amazed at that Greenwich Sour crafted for me at Sun Liquor a few months ago.
However, the employee who pulls the tap for a $9 beer at a game during which standing in line means less game watched is an employee at risk. There won’t be wholesale changes in how things are done. Not everyone wants to buy a $50 or even $20 card, as you pointed out above. For those people there will continue to be the person at the end of the line to serve and make change for your $10 or $20 bill. But for those who want to swipe a card, fill up or top off, and get back before the 7th Inning Stretch is over, whatever is fastest is probably most desirable.
Just like at Home Depot, where one can self-check or check through a cashier-manned stand, there will be multiple options as technology begins to replace more people. Four people at a time can use self-check and one employee seems to man that pretty well at the Home Depot I use. I typically self-check to avoid the line, if I can. Sometimes I need the checkstand, as when I’m buying pavers or something that isn’t easily scanned, and I’m aware of that ahead of time.
This won’t be a revolutionary shift in how automated transactions occur. It will be incremental. However, as technology continue to evolve, the employee at the opposite end of the spectrum from the Murray Stenson or cz bartender – the one who pulls the tap and does little or nothing else – that employee’s job is at risk because it’s a job that can be fairly straighforwardly replaced.
We all pump our own gas in WA state. Didn’t use to be that way. Most of the time we don’t need a cashier to do it. Didn’t use to be that way.

Obama kicked Hillary’s ass. She’s shown little indication after eight years that someone else can’t accomplish the same task.

Two hours ago:
Still, Democrats across the party expect a non-Clinton candidate to catch fire over the summer and to garner around 25-to-30 percent of the vote in Iowa, a state with which O’Malley has been familiar since he spent time there on behalf of Gary Hart’s 1984 presidential campaign. Clinton’s camp expects O’Malley to rise in the polls.

25-30% in Iowa.
What did Hillary garner in Iowa in 2008? 29%.
Roger Rabbit spews:
“Martin O’Malley, the former Maryland governor and a man who would very much like to challenge Hillary Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination, is making his case.
“‘We took measurable actions to reduce storm-water runoff and to expand the number of acres planted with winter cover crops, to upgrade clean technology at all of our sewer treatment plants,’ he says. ‘We reduced nitrogen, phosphorous and sediment levels by 14, 15 and 18 percent, respectively.’
“But wait — there’s more! Before O’Malley was governor, he was mayor of Baltimore — and, he says, he implemented ‘the 48-hour pothole guarantee. And our crews actually hit that guarantee, and they hit it 97 percent of the time, and each of the members of those crews got a thank-you note from the mayor when we did it.’
“This is why Clinton has little to worry about, no matter how badly she flubs her response to the kerfuffle over her private e-mail server and foreign contributions to her family’s foundation. She just doesn’t have a credible challenger.
“O’Malley … [is] campaigning as if he’s running to be Clinton’s EPA administrator or her OMB director. … He appeals to liberal intellectuals, but this wonk is not about to fire up the party base. …
“‘It’s a pleasure to be here … to talk about data-driven governing, an issue … near and dear to my heart,’ O’Malley declared Wednesday at the Brookings Institution …. When he finished his talk about infant mortality and oysters, recidivism and lead poisoning, I told him it all sounds wonderful — just not the sort of thing that propels one to the presidency.”
http://www.washingtonpost.com/.....story.html

I have a friend s coworker who just moved from the northeast to florida. He got a great opportunity with the company we work for. And he was not happy either weather, and the high cost of living here in the northeast. His wife was a teacher. They just had s baby, only two months old. His pay was considerable increased by making the move and he got more perks to go along with the pay. He came back home last weekend to get the last belongings from the house that is in the process of being sold and he was then going back down to Florida. He likes it so far and is happy. I never got to see him before he left a month ago so I went to see him. I asked his wife if she was going to find a job as a teacher, her response, NO! Because teachers get paid like shit down there. I guess it doesn’t pay to work for nothing after paying for daycare. I guess the state is really doing a lot to encourage people to work.

Once again exhibiting police unions’ gift for tone-deaf public un-relations, the Baltimore police guild has labeled peaceful protests over Freddie Gray’s death a “lynch mob.” Cops don’t do themselves any favors with antics like this.
http://www.cnn.com/2015/04/23/.....index.html
Roger Rabbit Commentary: In general, America’s cops are out of control, and need to be brought to earth. Our nation’s nearly 18,000 police agencies need a thorough housecleaning; a lot of people have been hired as cops who shouldn’t have been, and need weeding out. But most of all, the accountability system is broken, and needs to be fixed, starting with a revamping of the laws that give cops criminal and civil immunity. There also needs to be much more civilian oversight. Above all, cops everywhere must be made to understand that officers who use excessive or gratuitous force, engage in racist behavior, harass law-abiding citizens, falsify reports, plant or destroy evidence, give false testimony, frame people, or abuse forfeiture laws will lose their jobs — and, in appropriate cases, be prosecuted.

@90 Republicans would love to cut the IRS’ budget to zero. Now they’re complaining about lousy customer service? Figures. Of course, what they’re really griping about is the IRS didn’t eliminate the audits that catch rich Republican tax cheats.
Roger Rabbit spews:
@91 No, by my reckoning, the 19 hijackers who brought down the Twin Towers and part of the Pentagon are the fault of the negligent morons who ignored warnings:
“Bush’s approach in most situations seemed a reactive combination of calculations to avoid his father’s mistakes and to reject Clinton’s policies. This was especially clear in international affairs: in his first nine months he reversed Clinton’s policy toward China, proclaiming it no longer a ‘strategic partner’ but a ‘strategic competitor’; in the Middle East, by withdrawing U.S. involvement in the negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians; toward Korea, by abandoning the negotiated accord that had frozen the North’s nuclear program and by humiliating President Kim of South Korea, who was promoting North-South reconciliation, during his March 2001 visit to the White House, contributing to a wave of anti-Americanism in a country that was among the staunchest American allies; by withdrawing U.S. support from the Kyoto treaty on global warming; and by forsaking Clinton’s efforts to address the dangers of international terrorism.
“During the transition between administrations, National Security Adviser Sandy Berger arranged several extensive briefings on this last subject for Bush’s incoming national security adviser, Condoleeza Rice, and others on the Bush team, including Vice President Cheney. One briefing lasted half a day. Berger told them that Osama bin Laden was an ‘existential threat’ and told them that he wanted ‘to underscore how important this issue is.’ In another briefing, Richard Clarke, head of counterterrorism in the NSC, the single most knowledgeable expert in the government, gave them a complete tutorial on the subject. In yet another briefing, CIA officials were brought in to go over all the intelligence available on terrorism.
“Don Kerrick, a three-star general and outgoing deputy national security adviser, overlapped for four months with the new Bush people. He submitted a memo for the new National Security Council warning of the danger of terrorism. ‘We are going to be struck again,’ he wrote. But as Kerrick explained to me, he received no answer to his memo. ‘They didn’t respond,’ he said. ‘They never responded. It was not high on their priority list. I was never invited to one meeting. They never asked me to do anything. They were not focusing. They didn’t see terrorism as the big megaissue that the Clinton administration saw it as. They were concentrated on what they thought were higher priorities than terrorism.’ The Principals meeting of national security officials took up terrorism only once, after constant pressure from Clarke, on September 4, 2001, and at that meeting they discussed using unmanned Predator drone spy aircraft, but no decision was made. ‘Unfortunately,’ said Kerrick, ‘September 11 gave them something to focus on.’”
— Sidney Blumenthal, The Clinton Wars (New York: Farrar, Strauss, and Giroux, 2003), pp. 797-798.
Roger Rabbit Commentary: There’s no excuse for this kind of negligence, especially when it costs 3,000 innocent American lives; and if Bush had been properly impeached, he would’ve been prevented from squandering another 4,400+ American soldiers’ lives in a useless and failed war against a country that didn’t attack us.

It’s pretty slow on HA today, nothing’s going on except Puddy, which is to say nothing’s going on, so I decided to see if anything’s going on at (u)SP, Stefan’s moribund little blog. Tim Eyman posted there this morning, but the real howler is this item from Pudge a couple days ago:
“WA State Treasurer James McIntire says that fully funding K-12 education is mathematically impossible, and so he wants a new state income tax. But we know that’s not true, that we have enough money right now from taxes to fully fund K-12 education. In 2015-17, the governor is proposing spending over $18 billion on schools, against revenues of about $37 billion. Even if you think we need to double education spending, which almost no one believes, there’s still enough revenue. So maybe you think, but there’s other things that government needs to spend money on first. But the state constitution disagrees with you: ‘[i]t is the paramount duty of the state to make ample provision for the education of all children residing within its borders. …'”
I’m not entirely sure, but it looks to me like Pudge is arguing that state government consists of K-12 education and nothing else, because the state constitution says so. Which means we have a $19 billion budget surplus.
Presumably this also means he’s in favor of releasing all the felons from our prisons, including murderers and child rapists and kidnappers, and those on death row. Because, you know, prisons cost money and we don’t need to budget for prisons because they’re not mandated by the state constitution.

PuddyCommentary: The non-apology apology!
Obummer only signs off on successful raids where he can walk from the whitey house and onto the Bergdahl lawn and hold a presser.
DUMMOCRETINS are smegma scum!

Hey HA DUMMOCRETINS… Puddy knows y’all have 24 hour moronic moonbattic memory malady… well from ABC News this was back in 2013… http://abcnews.go.com/Internat.....d=21339561
Now he’s dead! No, two are dead! Obummer just announced it today three months after the fact… Obummer should take responsibility and be deeply ashamed because repeated calls by Dr Warren Weinstein and his family for support went unheeded by Obummer for the last two years. Today instead Obummer’s drone policy hit their targets with impunity without so much as an indication of the identity of those targets. Aim here guys, we’ll get something eh? Butt, this happened back in January! And now we learn about it today? go.wh.gov/b594XV
They were not specifically targeting the terrorists that were killed in the strikes, that was just a lucky accident. Most unfortunate however is that they also didn’t know that they were killing two innocents, American Dr Warren Weinstein and Italian Giovanni Lo Porto.
Would do you call it when you order a human killed that has done no wrong? Hmmm…? Well being a DUMMOCRETIN means your apology is a non-apology!

DUMMOCRETINS are SCUM http://www.nationalreview.com/.....vid-french
All because the DUMMOCRETIN district attorney John T. Chisholm is another Mike Nifong. So DUMMOCRETINS, just think of this:
– A battering ram breaking down your house. You live in Seattle like most HA DUMMOCRETINS or Bellevue, Tukwila, Des Moines, Shoreline, Lynnwood; and you notice out the side window the police have a battering ram breaking down your house door at 1 AM! You have no clothes on butt they want to destroy the front door! Why? Because they are DUMMOCRETINS!
– Jackbooted police come in, tell you to shut up and steal every telephone and every computer, and you never get them back. And they don’t tell you why. Because they are DUMMOCRETINS!
This is what happens in America when DUMMOCRETINS lose elections they THINK they should win. A bunch of low life aggrieved DUMMOCRETIN scum upset that Real Americans rejected their governance! Because they are DUMMOCRETINS!
In Wisconsin, the thuggery of DUMMOCRETINS and their union thugs was unmasked. They proved what happens when progressive FASCISTS act with impunity. This is what Puddy has been saying for years! It’s who DUMMOCRETINS are if left unchecked and unopposed. Chisholm made obvious for the world to see. They left it out in the open. Because they are DUMMOCRETINS!
When you read the article you come away with this knowledge. They did it because they are DUMMOCRETINS! They feel they can do anything at any time. And the Friday Night Comix purveyor cheered it. All those people were all innocent. It was determined no one was guilty of anything. No one had done anything wrong. That didn’t matter to a DUMMOCRETIN law man! They did it because they are DUMMOCRETINS!
The Wisconsin John Doe law allowed for anonymous prosecution. That’s exactly why Wisconsin DUMMOCRETINS used it against conservatives. They could arbitrarily use law enforcement to target conservative they thought might be guilty of a crime! And by using this law, and they ran roughshod over the “accused” and didn’t have to tell anybody what they were doing and why. This violates how many US Constitution parts? They did it because they are DUMMOCRETINS!
Puddy will ask his now bar accepted son what John Doe laws are because it’s a waste of time expecting the senile schismatic IDIOT Wabbit to deliver a straight answer! Early onset senility along with not reading PuddyFACTS are vewy vewy scawy to the IDIOT Wabbit! They did it because they are DUMMOCRETINS!

We have some interesting stock moves this morning. Amazon (which I don’t own) is up 15%, and Starbucks (which I own) is up 6.5%. In fact, Starbucks’ $3-plus move today is almost 3 times what I paid for my Starbucks stock. (I bought Starbucks in 1996 for $1.06 a share, adjusted for splits.)
We live in a country where half the people (i.e., Republicans) go nuts if someone suggests that a barista who gets up at 5 a.m., opens a coffee shop at 6:00 a.m. so commuters can get their joe fix, and works on her feet all day waiting on customers and cleaning up after them, should earn enough to get off food stamps. All so capitalists like me who make hundreds of dollars from their Starbucks stock without getting out of bed don’t have to pay an extra nickel for a latte.
I don’t understand this. I’m no socialist, despite what the morons who don’t know what the difference between a liberal and a socialist is, but I don’t get the slave-labor mentality of Republicans. Is it mental illness, or just some sort of obscene selfishness? Or are they reincarnations of past slaveowners?
Sloppy Travis Bickle spews:
@ 165
It’s that 6 a.m. is way too late for a coffee shop to be opening. The boss told them to open at 5 a.m.
That’s when the at-home coffee-maker has the brew ready and waiting.
Writing’s on the wall.
Roger Rabbit spews:
@166 Yeah, Starbucks is doomed, because coffee makers with automatic timers are going to put them out of business. That’s why their stock is up 7.5% this morning.
