what am I missing? why is the picture titled the toast of shame?
In the middle is luitenant kolonel Thom Karremans, leader of the Dutchbatt peacekeeping force near Srebrenica, to the left is Ratko Mladic the last of the Serbian forces.
Mladic promised the to let there population of the enclave to go free, and Karremans believed him.
They were slaughtered instead.

The most striking image yet to emerge from the fall of Srebrenica comes in a BBC film to be screened next week. It shows the indicted Serb war criminal General Radko Mladic presenting the commander of the UN peacekeeping force at Srebrenica, Colonel Ton Karremans of Holland, with gifts wrapped in Christmas paper. Mladic was evidently in a expansive mood and he had good reason to be: at that very moment his troops were preparing to massacre the 4,000 men and boys who the UN had handed over to him.

How much are you paying for that?
50 a month at MetroPCS, it's not rocket science, and I'm not rich. I literally live on the streets.
-
100$/month and a one time purchase of a 200$ wifi router
50 a month, you absolute goon.

We're assuming a business location here.
This is the maximum it should cost pretty much anywhere in the world.
So, trivial compared with just one day of business expenses.
Functionally free -
Wait are you just using wifi while paying 100/mo for internet?
1200/year isnt insubstantial.
It's a business location and they could be anywhere, this is enough to buy unlimited internet basically everywhere there is unlimited internet to buy.
Compared with daily business expenses this is basically free for them. -

i guess i am getting old. but i really think it is sad, when a group goes to the restaurant/coffee/bar and everyone is staring at their individual screen

For the people with no service and exploitative ratioed service.
I don't need wifi I have 100 gig of fast data and "unlimited" after that which I never use.
But my brother has 3 gb and then he loses internet access. You do it for him, it's common courtesy if you're operating a business which you expect people to hang out at. They are the content that attract your drink-buyers.

Yeah, 50/mo for unlimited isnt terrible, Im paying half that for 2gb/day, then limited to 365kb/s

We Do Not Have
WiFiUse The Hotspot On Your Phone Like A Normal Person
Or Get A Data Card For Your Laptop IDK Or Care
There’s a place near me that I don’t go to very often, and almost never if I’m alone. They have great food and it’s pretty cheap, but they don’t have WiFi.
That normally wouldn’t be a problem, because I rarely use any of my cell data, but it’s a super old building full of interference and I can only get cell signal if I happen to get one of the 3 seats within 10 foot of the front windows.
If I do go by myself, I get weird looks for bringing comic books or video games and just existing by myself, but there’s nothing else to do while waiting for food so..

McDonald's STILL has newspapers sitting in a rack next to the counter where I am. Growing up these places had magazines and newspapers available to read. People "back then" didn't just randomly talk to strangers, they just kept themselves busy with other things.
Yes, there's a problem with people not interacting physically anymore, but it's not cause we have electronics, it's cause people don't have a place to go outside the home anymore. This is a problem with a lack of community centers and walk-able neighborhoods, not a problem with phones.

When my family goes out we usually have to put our phones away. It was my rule, but now I break my own rules and my kids have to tell me to put my phone away. I guess my kids are better than me now.

Your welcome! Enjoy your styrofoam cup coffee from a deli that smells of Malboro cigarettes. The sugar has weird moving black things and milk has been left out for 3 days.
Remember playing pool in the 90s, I didn't even smoke but I feel I will have copd.

I never understood why Starbucks became big in the US, but I always assumed it was something like that.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]It’s actually because they started offering syrup filled, whip cream and caramel covered drinks directly on the menu. They were briefly infamous for like 1000 calorie macchiatos.
Little espresso shops had flavor shots before, but the rest were pretty much donut shops that sold regular utility coffee, and the sugar and fat was external (donuts sandwiches and pastries).
