Yeah, the commenter considers himself a legend, but he doesn't get the joke in the image. It's funny because his comment is unexpected as a response to the original poster's caption.
Between insurance, pensions, salary, reimbursements, and fringe benefits, you're looking at a minimum cost of $70k per full-time officer per year. They'd have to issue $3,500,000 in tickets to cover that alone, and even then, that leaves nothing for vehicle replacement/maintenance (which is huge on a fleet of cop cars), non-officer employee salaries (clerks etc.), rent/taxes/maintenance on the station, equipment and weapons, training programs, and so much more. No way tickets and forfeitures alone take in that much in a town of 250
That's still nowhere near enough for 50 cops with public level benefits. Even if every dollar of that goes towards the cops, at $20k/year each, it would hardly cover federal taxes on their income, let alone the income itself
I wouldn't have been surprised to hear that 10% of the population ate a 4oz burger for lunch every single day. Not saying it's good or not a lot, but just thought more people did it
True if sealed, I meant the type of kool-ade you mix yourself, which gets gross after not very long. With this wrapped in paper, I'm doubting it's air tight.
A product intended to be sold that way. Steak and slim jims are both beef (in theory), but I wouldn't recommend storing them the same way...
I'm far from guaranteeing that the popsicle from the picture would make you sick, I'm just saying I wouldn't trust it with no telling how long it sat around melted before refreezing, and almost definitely not something processed for that type of storage.
No. Candy is heated to extremely high temperatures while processing and has a low water content, which are very important for its sterilization and entirely different from something like this. And candy still goes bad if you wait long enough... Candy is more equivalent to something like fruit preserves/jelly, which use heat and sugar to sterilize and preserve, yet which still have to be refrigerated to maximize shelf-life/minimize contamination. So you're right that sugar can be used to preserve, but only by following a very different process.
Being wrapped in plastic has absolutely no effect on it. The bacteria likely to colonize are already in there, but keeping it frozen keeps them from multiplying, unless it melts. And many such colonies (botulism, for example) thrive in hypoxic environments, so being wrapped can actually make it worse. And corn syrup or any other substitute is just as bad as sugar.
So you'd drink weeks-old kool-ade if it hadn't been refrigerated? Water and sugar is an ideal breeding ground and food source for a vast number of different bacteria.
Tbf you don't know what they're doing in addition to this. I'd get this comment on facebook or somewhere that you know the poster, but for all we know, Izzent is actually out there marching and more.
That's super open minded and uncommonly positive, and makes me think I didn't necessarily come to this thread with the most constructive tone myself. I'll think more about how I voice feedback as well online for this.
I was going to pop in with the same thought. Even still, looking at those numbers, going 200 for 269 is crazy. New coach or not, that's gotta be among the best runs/rates for any team in history.
Thank you I am glad it's clear
