Thanks...?
  • if the third floor is extra small or something, maybe getting really yoked makes it difficult to pass through?

    like "you're gonna be so buff that you'll be unable to squeeze through a narrow corridor! "

  • Am I old now?
  • that's exactly why I always try to tip with cash. when I pay in cash for food, I have no issue if the business wants to pocket it and keep a little extra something for themselves that uncle sam can't touch. taxes are important, but workers can have a little personal gain, as a treat. plus, credit companies don't need to get their beaks wet everytime I buy something.

    But one of the things I learned about doing business is always make it easy for people to pay.

    the weirdest thing I see regularly is "no cash" signs for vendors. I understand some places don't want to deal with giving change, or holding large amounts of cash at outdoor events, or making lines go quicker, etc. it's just strange that the most concrete form of regulated currency we have is turned down so often now.

  • Everyday, as an American
  • as a mechanic working in a hodgepodge US/EU factory line, I have to suffer through always carrying double the tools to service metric and SAE machines. and after so many years in the industry, I still slip up and say 3/16 when I mean 3/8 sometimes, because fractions are a shit system for wrenches.

    oh, and some of our linear encoders readout decimal-feet, because fuck it, why not?

  • It’s always with my best shirts
  • distilled white vinegar, in moderation, can have the same effect, with less severe downsides. my clothes actually dry better with it, since it neutralizes and removes the alkaline detergents that never fully rinse out in a normal water wash. it requires some finesse to know what fabrics to use it on, but I've had great results with it

  • I’m in a park. The grass is being mown by a robot.
  • Somebody gained a job programming and servicing that mow-bot; maybe even a whole team. Maybe the original driver wrote the path and manages it now.

    I get the sentiment, and agree that there's value in keeping labor jobs reserved for people who need them, but using automation isn't inherently evil.

    When my company moved our production operations to automatic lines and robots, they promoted everyone to machine operators, taught new skills, and paid out more. It may not be the way every company handles the change, but it can be done, and it's a better path forward than forcing people to accept a life of hard labor.

  • Atretochoana — Specie of limbless amphibians known as the "penis snake" that was once thought to be extinct until its rediscovery in 2011
  • Although it is not a snake, it has been called various common names in the media such as "penis snake", "man-aconda", and "floppy snake", owing to its visual similarity to the human penis.[9][10]

    first off, thank you, Wikipedia, for including "man-aconda" in its cited terms. really going the extra mile.

    but also, it's wild that thing isn't even a snake. just another limbless amphibian with unknown breathing mechanisms, hiding in the rainforest. way cooler than I thought.

  • Police Arrest 108 Student Protesters at Emerson College
  • true, and this situation is a PR mess now, no matter how they try to spin it. I'd be amazed if their profits don't take a hit this fall.

    incoming students are now forced to face the knowledge of what these schools contribute to the war machine, and it's up to them to decide if they can have that on their conscience.
