1 can, sure.

2 cans, maybe.

But when I see some asshole load up a cart and start booking it towards the nearest fire door? Yeah, I’m stopping you.

22 billion is just a drop in the bucket to the Committee of 300 on their path to world domination.

Why am I a bigot?

Because pedos hiding in the Boy Scouts have a wider selection of targets?

Because Girl Scouts exist, so girls can join that organization to do all of the things Boy Scouts can do?

Because the only thing anyone attributes to Girl Scouts are their cookies?

What am I wrong on?

Nice, so now predators that prefer little girls will have more reign.

And what about the Girl Scouts? Can we start letting boys in there to start selling cookies and whatever the hell else they do?

I’m literally in the middle of performing an investigation into allegations of sexual harassment and inappropriate physical contact at my work. If half of my co-workers or employees were hitting or slapping or groping each other, they’d all be fired. I can’t imagine working at a place where anything like this would be tolerated.

No. I never had any issues with larger soda bottles. I would usually buy the 1 or 1.5 liter bottles because they were usually the best deal.

I did some sales work for one of the local soda distributors, and it was crazy how much better the 20oz bottles did in comparison to everything else.

It was the same with energy drinks. Most people would buy single cans for $3 when they could get a 4 pack for $10 or a 12 pack for $20.

We would usually just open the 12 packs at our accounts because the singles simply sold better.

20oz are more expensive per volume because they sell faster. There’s less of a demand for larger sizes typically go flat too fast for people unless they’re having a party or something, and even in that case they don’t have the convenience of being able to drink from the bottle.

Two of the major chains in my area merged a while back and they were required to close down a few of their stores to prevent having a monopoly.

So of course they closed the stores that were under-performing, which just means they closed the ones in poor neighborhoods.

They still owned or kept the leases to the buildings and sub-leased them out with the stipulation that any business taking them over could not carry groceries.

Not only are the people in those areas having to drive a lot further (or spend more time on public transit), but a lot the surrounding businesses to the stores that closed down ended up going out of business themselves.

There’s at least one nearly abandoned mini-small, shopping plaza in town due to this.

I don’t keep my employees phone numbers as contacts on my phone and only use our landline to contact them.

I do this to create a barrier that prevents me from calling or texting my employees as the first step to solving a problem or getting information.

Additionally, it allows me to take actual time away from work and not be giving out instructions via text every few minutes when I’m home. Any issues that arise can (usually) be handled by my subordinates, and if they can’t, then they can contact be as they have my number.

I really don’t like bothering my employees when they’re off in any fashion. I plan out my staffing every week, four weeks out. I never really thought about it until one of my newer hires told me his last employer only made schedules for his staff a week at a time, and when the week ended, he didn’t know what time he would work the next day (or at all).

It blew my mind.

If they’re really short-staffed, they shouldn’t be wasting their time beating around the bush. Additionally, texting is too slow, I would just call them to get an immediate answer, so I can move on with planning how the rest of the day/shift will go.

“Hi {name}, would you be interested in coming in today to pick up some overtime?”

Simple yes/no, directly to the point, and frames the question in a (potentially) beneficial manner to the employ.

No he won’t.

He made this exact same campaign promise back in 2016 and he didn’t pull the US out of NATO when he became president.

The only thing he did was to call out the majority of member countries that weren’t paying their agreed about share, causing (primarily) the US to make up the difference.

These incessant, full-screen upgrade ads, with no way of canceling other than a small “Remind me later” tucked away in the corner, where the final straw from me switching to Linux.

Scan a barcode next to the hole, insert bolt, wrench applies correct force for the piece.

The why not just have the barcode have all of that information encoded in it and not reference a database on a network?

I’m a hobbyist digital artist and have had to do a handful of graphic design projects for my mundane, non-art-in-anyway job.

As our computers are locked down Windows PCs, I’ve had to manage with MSPaint. It’s always taken me double the time as on any other program or app, and I have been wishing it had layers for years.

Since this update is Windows 11 only, I’ll have to for my company to upgrade, so I can look forward to layers in maybe 5 years.
