This may have more to do with the probablility of losing whatever good will they had left if they had. You do NOT cut off people’s access to coffee without repercussions.

At $1 a cup for a home made cup of coffee, and the sweet, sweet kick backs from the land fill companies... they have the money.
They lost so much good will in Washington. In a period of six months boxes of GMCR branded coffee went from the top shelf of the coffee aisle with Starbucks and Gevalia at $9.99 a box, to the bottom shelf, at $4.98 a box; and they were still begging people to buy them.
The Reimann clan (who own JAB Holdings) is the richest family in Germany. They also own Jimmy Choo, Krispy Kreme and Panera Bread, among many others. Dr. Pepper wont put that big a dent into their wallet.

This guy I talk to sometimes said he was given an iPad by the a person whose house he was cleaning BUT THEN a few minutes later said they simply lost it and has no way of contacting them. I don't trust a guy who can't keep their story straight.

Keurig Kold. $359 usd. Failed miserably.
It also cost a dollar a cup of cola versus 35 cents a can. I really don't know what they or their providers were thinking.
Did any of them also work for Juicero?

Pathetic little torch or not, a few of those in the wrong hands could get the entire state stoned once the really big farms get rolling. Can't have that happening.
I wonder if CA already controls the sale and distribution of propane torches - marketing aside, that's all this really is.
It's not much bigger than a typical weed burning propane torch:
Which can be easily modified so it presents a flame similar to the one the Boring company is selling:
No one sells them like this not due to danger or regulation, but because they exhaust a small tank very, very quickly, and rarely do you need that much heat.
However, if you're building blacksmith forges and metal melting furnaces than you certainly do.

I don't know enough about what CA is doing to say, but I suspect it has as much to do with how it's being sold as what's being sold. I mean, some might take issue with something marketed as a "choppy choppy fun knife to play with" rather than "a machete" because consumers will see them as different things and use them very differently despite the fact that they're the same thing physically.
Are you hoping she mishandles that and turns herself into a redhead?
It requires a complete lunar eclipse, but even then it doesn't turn blood red, it's more of a strong hint of red. Perhaps what you're seeing is the full blood moon experience. I suspect white balance plays a part in those really red pictures.

I had just gotten on the elevator, the door was starting to close, and a guy walks up and asks, "Is the elevator going down?"
I replied, "Yes." Then I let the door close.
I replied, "Yes." Then I let the door close.
When I was a kid in college, the Dean of Student Life basically went around digging up dirt on any group that was not a Greek Frat.
I was watching this past weekend's golf tournament on TV. It ended with a tie, and two players managed to keep it tied through 5 holes of sudden death.
On that 5th playoff hole, the commentators were talking about how Jason Day couldn't even see the hole from where he was making an iron shot, because it had grown dark as the sun set. Meanwhile, on TV, it looked bright as day, with clear colors and absolutely everything distinctly visible.
Cameras lie.
But as soon as it closed I opened the door and let him in. Then told him, "Next time say hold the elevator."
Very cool.
That name alone makes me skeptical that they'll be in business for long-ALMOST-as much as I believe the new Dollar General will be open for long...which I DO NOT BELIEVE SO-because come on, what idiot makes a NEW retail store in this economic climate?
In their defense, this is Taiwan, so most people probably aren't familiar with the connotations of that phrase.
In their offense, drink shops do tend to go out of business quite quickly around here, I'd imagine it's because margins tend to be rather thin, so if the shop has a bad week or month you could easily go into the red.
