I think the company itself changed hands multiple times. That's not standard

Filing that for the next fishing trip. Cheers

The way to do it would be require they turn in the car keys to continue getting drinks - then they need a sober friend to pick up their car keys.

Look, here's a big question. At such a concert venue, is there more than 1 bar in the hall, stadium, whatever? So a young lady can go to several bar set ups and get a drink? And now think with your other head and figure a pretty girl, almost drunk, at a concert, and you don't buy her a drink? Really? All she had to do was flirt, and the drinks kept coming. It was her fault, she could've called for a ride. Nope she chose to drive.

Question to Venue, how many bars were set up for the venue? If more than 1, then another no leg to stand on. Who's to say (she is) whether or not she was drunk before, or had alcohol in her car on the way home. And umm she was FORCED to drive home? Does Canada not have Uber or Taxi's? And yet she refuses to take responsibility for her own actions.

A locked breaker box is not anything a couple minutes with a crowbar isn't going to solve. It's made of shit quality sheet metal.

A government contract changing hands once in 10 years is pretty standard. Vendors get re-bid almost every time a contract comes up for renewal in these situations, there's a regulatory obligation given that it's being paid for with tax dollars.

It's also why most of these contracts get signed for such long terms. A lot changes in 10 years.

Yeah... Imagine bragging about not having safety features?

Right, like in Canada it’s law all cars made after May of 2018 must have a backup camera. They’re literally so helpful that Canada made a law for them

You can buy Tito's around me in rural Massachusetts. It's been a national brand for a while now.

ETA I just checked and they now have a ten story distillery and made 3.8 million cases of Tito's last year!

The new fun is American spirits. They come in like 24 varieties distinguished by slightly different colored packs. And no one knows the proper name, everyone just says the color. So it's "American Spirit Blue" or "American Spirit yellow." But with so many there are like four shades of blue and four shades of yellow now. And around me the gas stations are mostly staffed by people whose first language is Urdu or Bengali (perfectly nice people, they just don't necessarily know every English color term) and so you get into a whole thing of "American spirit gold, no the darker yellow, no that's like mustard, the GOLD, yeah no, the next one, good now up one row, yeah those." I imagine it would be challenging if you were drunk.

It's the most dumbest thing i could think of as a ban and something simple to survive from. A piece of candy.

I could see "Tito's" going wrong in amusing ways too.

Me I like Tennessee whiskey and bug spray, but it's a beast to order "Jack n Off" when I'm wasted.

Automation engineer here. If it doesn't have a physical emergency stop button, that actually cuts power in a way that can't be overridden except by physical wiring, I refuse to work on it.

No one who actually knows automation would implement it without a manual override indeed.

To be fair, a lot of electricians (and end users) dont know what the fuck they're doing with "smart" lightbulbs and the like.

If you put a smart bulb on a switch not made for a smart bulb, yeah, you're gonna fry it because you're constantly turning it off/on when it needs to always be "on" and is turned "off" via software.

When used properly, the reputable brands work pretty well.

Stupid

She is still liable for her actions, this does not make her not be held liable and won't get her out of jail. This is to see if the venue that served the alcohol is also liable It makes the people who lost their houses possibly get back some of the money they are owed that she most likely does not have. Unless you think the type of person who gets drunk at a concert and blows up houses has 15 million laying around.

It's gonna come down to what specific actions the venue took to stop her from driving away intoxicated, if she was served while already intoxicated and what they did (or didn't do) when she left while being intoxicated. If being drunk in public is a crime than the bartender is an accomplice to each drunk that walks out of the bar.

This redditor does local Texas vodka...

They're also really fuckin sweet. It makes backing up so much easier and generally just safer, allowing you to see way more than just turning your body.

Generally, though, those laws only allow people injured by the drunk person to sue the venue. In the vast majority of places in the US, the drunk person cannot get damages.

I think it's ridiculous that bartenders are held liable for other people's drinking problems

Agreed. I resisted the backup cam, got rid of my 01 ranger in 2018 for a 2017 taco. Backup cam is amaaaziglng.

House shit, nope. Ive talked to a lot of electricians and they say the same thing, shit is crazy expensive and lasts a year. Do not smarten your house unless youre rich.

The bartender is personally liable as well. In fact in some places, the bar owner isn't liable at all.

Yep hon, and you believe it. Please go back and finish high school.

Isn't it great how people are not responsible for their own actions / decisions anymore? It amazes me that people can sure for being stupid and they win.
