  • yeah I think I have an orange, a mango, a nanopi, and a couple entirely written in chinese that are different from each other. Just before reddit went senile I was planning on posting images to try to ID the unknown ones but I didn’t and got busy with stuff less likely to be a dead end.

    Can anyone confirm if it is indeed the case that you can’t just put whatever os you want on these things, or if it is possible by jumping through some hoops that google would never show me in favour of showing me other shit that makes them more money?




  • simple task that often can’t be done properly because 15 people before someone didn’t connect it and eventually after person 40 put it in and the weight surpassed the holding power of a pice of 1 inch angle iron against a single pair of casters, and the train rolls away and smashes a car, now someone is super inconvinenced having to deal with the bullshit insurance procedures that never get you back to where you were before and the staff that there aren’t enough of to keep up get shit they don’t get paid enough to listen to. at least once a week at my store.

    Now if you mean people that will specifically take the cart to the two sheds farthest away because they’re the only ones not way over filled then sure. But with the way people over fill them, put other store’s incompatible carts in, put them in sideways or backward leave garbage in the carts, and honestly way more dumb incompetent shit than I could remember, I just can’t see it. As a worker it has been continually way easier to just grab loose ones than redo the fucking mess. As a shopper I can see that all of the sheds are fucked up and everything needs to be removed and reorganized and that putting the cart in will just make it worse, therefore it would be best to place it somewhere it can’t roll away but is easy for one persom to take. In the end reality is too complicated for social theorists I guess.

    The shopping cart theory is a test of who lives in imaginary fantasy land where everything is perfect and everything only has a right and a wrong answer and nobody needs to improvise a solution to anything and bad events born of good intentions mixed with utter incompetence also make you a good person.


  • And a bunch of people here seem to adamantly judge people with idiotic metrics based on nothing.

    I’d be willing to bet up to $2k, more if I had it, that more than half of the serial killers that went quiet before being caught put their carts away and actually chained them in properly too.

    If it’s left maliciously in a genuinely bullshit spot, then sure. If it’s placed in a way that doesn’t block anything or hit someones car then I really don’t see the problem. When I worked the grocery store it was literally the easiest task. Chain a few carts together, put them in the shed, repeat, easy. It was a fucking nightmare when I had to break apart the chain of carts spanning the entire lot and balance them without hitting any cars or getting hit by a car, which actually happened to a couple of the other workers.

    And let’s not forget the anti mask/vax losers that harassed other shoppers. They put their carts away, and not only that they stuck around if someone wearing a mask approached and didn’t let them take the cart. The walmart and similar store memes are not only a real, but a regular occurance and much worse and more irritating when you work at a store.


  • nah fuck that shit. there are staff paid to do it and if the store can’t afford that staff they are fucking lying. they have earned this with the price fixing and gouging and I’m not giving them any more of my time than absolutely necessary.

    in addititon when I had that job myself, more often than not people put them away wrong and I had to redo everything. I’ve gotten called to the office more than once because shoppers that put the carts away didn’t lock them somewhere along the stack and the whole thing rolled across the lot and smashed in to someone’s car. Collecting lose carts is way easier than pulling them alll apart and putting them back after finding the two near the middle beginning of the chain and not being able to get them back together without doing it one by one in the stupidly hilly lot.

    None of this shit. Homemade uncooked unrisen or partially risen loaves in the freezer, cooked ones in cloth bread bags. If you don’t suck ass at making bread it will always be eaten before it goes stale but its still toastable or usable for cooking. Or just adjust loaf size to match consumption rate. In my region anything in plastic will go moldy before you get halfway, especially purchased loaves.

    bonus: secret ingredient for general purpose slicing loaf. 6 to 10 tbsp of chestnut honey. The honey itself smells kinda iffy and tastes aeird but baking it in bread gives it this amazing aroma. Toasting brings out the aroma again after it cools. Great for real bread ice cream sandwiches, especially toasted if you do it as a bowl.








  • they are pretty decent for atomic distros and fully automated updates. I served my time in arch and gentoo and don’t want to update all the time but still want the updates. That said there are a lot of things that have also bothered me at some point that may or may not still be a problem. being out of date sometimes, stupid notifications for the application running in the background when you minimize it, jankiness when launching via clicking a file or god forbid programs launching each other. probably other stuff.
