Just back from filing for our passport renewals. Only $500 for the family. Would have been $750 to expedite!
Yeah double that for our kids too. With American and German ones (bio) it gets really expensive. Have to drive down to the consulate soon to get my daughters passport renewed...

It's just very odd when you know the real costs for the material. Don't want to get into detail, but a (paper) passport for $100 includes roughly 500-1000%+ of processing overhead.

Watching "The Shannara Chronicles"
I binged the entire season last weekend. Honestly, I liked it. I thought it was a decent adaption.
Really, the only bad thing was that there were too many ruins left. If it had been a truly long time the ruins should have been pretty much gone.
I did the same thing last weekend. Wasn't too bad.

I was thinking kiosks might stop it from happening. I Think we have somewhere around 20 of them and I've had to replace so many of them already its crazy. I need to come up with a way of stopping them from walking.

Seems like I remember a suggestion of JB Weld... this might work, lol.

Anyone have any experience building kiosks to stop people from stealing cabling etc?
Tie it to the bathroom key?

The issue is they are charging through a USB cable that plugs into the power cable. There is no good way (that I have found) to secure the power cable to the USB cable.

Use a little JBWeld and stick it to the underside or back of the table... or to the nearest wall... Wait... no, don't stick it to the wall.
