Supplemental signage, I would have to guess.
Quote from: Plutonic Panda on Today at 10:06:04 AMIn a more literal sense the same argument often seems to be made for expanding I-15 from Barstow to Primm. Why should California pay for upgrading a highway that gets people out of the state to spend money. Well, my opinion is because they have an obligation to upgrade the road to keep traffic moving at acceptable levels and keep people on its roads as safe as possible whether they're residents or not.
Quote from: wanderer2575 on Today at 04:11:58 AMQuote from: vdeane on April 27, 2024, 05:14:03 PMA couple money-related ones. One is the short expiration cycle for rewards points at Price Chopper/Market32/Market Bistro. The checkouts only give the option to use them when you have more than 500. You can use them before, but have to specifically request it, so I usually wait until then unless I see that some are expiring. Well, I somehow missed the thing on my receipts mentioning points expiring (either it's gotten less obvious or I got so used to hitting 500 before this happens that I've stopped checking as vigorously as I should) until I finished checking out today, and now I have a few points expiring by the end of the month with no way to use them in time.
More irritating to me are store gift cards, i.e. actual cash, that expire (how the fudge does cash expire?) or deduct a monthly "maintenance fee" after some number of months after purchase, like they have to take my card balance out for a walk or something.
Quote from: oscar on Today at 10:58:12 AMQuote from: 1995hoo on Today at 09:26:07 AMThe state flag of Hawaii also includes the Union Flag in the top left corner.
As did the flag of the Kingdom of Hawaii before it.
Hawaii post-unification started off firmly within the British sphere of influence. British military advisors helped Kamehameha the Great annex Hawaii's other kingdoms. Later, when an over-eager Brit sought to annex Hawaii, the British government reversed that action and restored Hawaii's independence. Only much later did Hawaii slide into the U.S. orbit.
