One of the aggravations in HS that I remember was that at the standard level many of the teachers (outside of specialty subjects like language) were frequently coaches or PE teachers. This would be fine if they were bio teachers first and athletics second, but alas it led to a lot of lectures being straight out of the…

The one that pisses me off to no end is when people use the machines as furniture, they come to the gym and sit on a machine and then start fucking texting/chatting on the phone. There are benches (regular benches for sitting) 10 feet behind them, but they feel the need to occupy a machine. Then when you go up to them…

One of the tips I love for growing plants with tiny seeds (carrots, beets, etc). is that if you want straight lines and want better varieties than you would find on normal seed strips then you can make your own.

In SoCal we grow all year round, so right now I am finishing up the beet and carrot harvest, the melons, corn, and 3rd round of peas (3 sisters technique) are coming in. Damn winter storms back east delayed my potatoes arriving, and I have put the first batch of sweet potato slips in the ground.

If it makes you feel any better I do laundry at least 5 days a week because I don't let my gym clothes ferment. The second I get home they go in a load that goes straight in the wash.

It kind of depends on what you/the company are doing. I had a filing cabinet at my desk for my old job, the entire use of it was to store some snacks and cables because I had no paper files and anything I would be working with was all digital.

Big-footers represent? I do love how I can get some really nice shoes on clearance because giants apparently do not normally wear shoes. No matter, was able to swing $600 in dress shoes for less than $100

What is the exposure risk for workers though? To knowingly expose someone to a toxic environment would not only be a lawsuit risk but also would be as ethically dubious as the Tuskegee experiment.

I'm actually really grateful to my current boss/employer, I came from a different section of the tech industry to them where I normally was working at least 10hrs a day 7 days a week (including holidays) for pay that sounds good on paper but the hourly breakdown was not so hot. Now I make the same number but I…

We do, it's called foodspin.

Don't forget the ultimate con, convincing the nation that the only people in unions are "blue-collar" workers and that people in white collar jobs always are better off. Even worse in newer industries, like tech, where you have game companies running at 70-80 hr weeks for pay that sounds astounding until you realize…

There doesn't even need to be "another guy", it could just be they are fighting against themselves. Arguably, companies are spending more of their time focused on beating past versions of themselves when they focus on always outperforming last year's numbers.

Very true, and what makes things worse is that workers proudly celebrate the demise of unions, claiming that they are making more money without the need for collective bargaining.

Could it not also be said that whoever is paying for the tools would expect some benefit for them/the org? So by providing more efficient tools they would not be pleased with the same output but less hours, otherwise the exercise, to them at least, would be pointless.

That is pretty much the rule for many foods that directly process fresh produce, such as canned vegetables. Tabasco does the exact same thing, peppers are processed the day they are picked (though now much of that seems to take place in Central and South America).

The only problem with a cooler is that they are water tight and air tight, which means mold can in them if you have a high enough moisture content in the air so currency probably wouldn't be the best thing to store.... unless you filled the bin with sand or a bunch of silicate desiccating packs.

Wasn't that a big part of those ICE takedowns over the last few years? Some of the sites affected weren't hosting the content but simply linked to an offending page and they had their own sites taken over for IP infringement.

Shit... that means that LoL is a rip-off of a rip-off paired with another rip-off...

I did not know there was an app for that (paperwhite user), I knew they could see your device but didn't know you could open a video while calling them.

Well, anything with a camera. Which is probably why that kindle fire with the "Mayday" button won't allow the rep to see you.
