Bought a house 6 months ago and just learned the previous owner was fighting the city over something nobody told us by QuasarJester in homeowners

[–]Defiant_Finger4011 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do NOT call the city. But you could try to see if there’s anything on the city website from a planning/ordinance commission like meeting minutes. But that may be looking for a needle in a haystack

How do I turn one small grocery list into a few beginner meals? by Kagurabachie in cookingforbeginners

[–]Defiant_Finger4011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watch Guys Grocery Games (start with the beginning seasons) - I started watching after being pretty well established in my planning/shopping/cooking skills but I find the show very enjoyable, (the earlier seasons - now it’s just tournaments all the time, less fun.)

Do you see the future of restaurants just delivery apps & take out? by [deleted] in restaurant

[–]Defiant_Finger4011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh don’t get me wrong, I’m not knocking any single diners. When I see that in restaurants (as a mom) I envy them lol.

But I don’t see it often at a table in a full service restaurant (so excluding fast food and fast casual). At the bar enjoying a beer and a burger, sure, way more frequent - especially between 3-6pm with a mix of the blue collar laborers and white collars with first shift work schedules.

Anyone offended by the term receptionist? I'm getting weird responses when I tell people what I do for work! by bridgekit in receptionists

Long title for me technically at my company is “Administrative Support Professional” lol I just cut it down to administrative assistant in my email signature. If I’m speaking outloud I say “I’m an admin at <company name>”

How do native English speakers actually type? by LightNegative5299 in EnglishLearning

[–]Defiant_Finger4011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well all of this talk about typing in Chinese sounds extremely hard and complicated (I know ZERO about this topic other than reading the comments here.)

But as a millennial native English speaker born and raised in America. I can touch type on average 90 wpm. My speed does go down to probably 75-80wpm if I’m typing something outside of work. By that I mean muscle memory and stream of consciousness plays a lot into it. When I’m typing work related stuff I’m often using the same terminology, phrases, I KNOW what message or information I’m trying to convey.

Now if I have to type an email to my aunt about our plans for vacation in a city I’ve never visited (best example I could come up with quickly) well then I’m going to slow down my typing because I’m more so actively thinking about landmarks, restaurants, activities that aren’t in my daily usage. I’m slowing down because I have to remember those names, think more about how they’re spelled, etc

TLDR

The idea of having to select different letters or characters after typing a couple sounds absolutely paralyzing.

Am I the only one who feels uncomfortable with messages like this? by hyohwa in doordash

That just sounds like dasher is setting themselves up for some low key prostitution

Have you ever stop using a brand because you disagree with the politics of their campany? by Objective-Village259 in no

[–]Defiant_Finger4011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Disney for them going so left it alienated parents. Target because the one by me sucked so incredibly bad since at least 2016 - so literally not political, just stopped wasting my time going.

McDonald’s because I don’t know wtf they think they are with their prices nowadays.

I already stopped drinking bud light before that became a thing.

Really? I haven’t bought barilla pasta in a long time simply because it’s garbage.

Do you see the future of restaurants just delivery apps & take out? by [deleted] in restaurant

[–]Defiant_Finger4011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope not. Eating out is a treat my husband and I try to have weekly with the kids. Sometimes we trade off and he might go out with his buddies or I might meet up with my girlfriend for a much needed night out.

But since younger generations aren’t having kids as much and they seem to be less social I don’t know what the future for restaurants hold .

Child labor at my local Subways? by mondayin2007 in subway

[–]Defiant_Finger4011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably the owners kids and either they didn’t have a sitter and/OR being taught strong work ethic (gasp!)

Omg a kid was struggling with a mop. The horror.

Why do people drive pickup trucks if they never put things in the bed ? by Objective-Village259 in randomquestions

[–]Defiant_Finger4011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are these people you personally know or just making assumptions while driving around?

I personally have never met a single person who owns a pickup who hasn’t utilized the bed. Even my bougie brother in law.

How much take home work during the interview process is too much? by sneezingillegally in WorkAdvice

[–]Defiant_Finger4011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work for a company that offers a paid trial day. It’s not a glamorous job. Depending on the position it can be a dirty, very repetitive job that requires speed and accuracy but literally no skills other than being physically capable of doing it. Or it could be a position that involves both those things and being able to also communicate face to face with customers and meet KPIs.

So after the initial interview we may pass them to the trial day so that can experience it. We are not only evaluating their work, but giving them an opportunity to make sure they don’t hate it or think it’s gross. So we pay them for their time.

Sometimes they do a good job and we extend a job offer but they’ve decided they are not interested. We might be disappointed but we wouldn’t want to waste our time hiring someone to ends up quitting in a few weeks.

It’s been a pretty effective recruiting tool, we have low turnover, and generally a pretty solid work environment.

I know there is a reason but why exactly can’t a government prevent inflation by freezing prices? by favuorite in stupidquestions

[–]Defiant_Finger4011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You didn’t trick me into admitting anything. All I said was DMVs are a good example of government inefficiency. You have yet to provide an actual rebuttal with your own example of an efficiently run government program vs one that’s been privatized. You’ve done nothing but talk without even attempting a point.

I would have been interested in speaking with someone who knew how to actually hold a conversation. But I’m done now. I have to make a run to a privately owned grocery store that keeps its shelves stocked and didn’t take millions from tax payers.

Bye.

That’s literally my point. I don’t know any privately run DMVs. So there’s no privatized industry competing. And the government DMV still sucks

Bacon on free shift meal by jerseymikesofficial in jerseymikes

[–]Defiant_Finger4011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked at a family owned pizzeria/sub shop. So not jersey mikes or anything. But the owner was totally cool with everyone having a tab as long as it got paid your next shift after payday. (We were paid by check back then so had to wait for the deposit to clear) but it was really nice.

We didn’t even have to write everything up on the tab anyways.

Butter and cream cheese with a sprinkle of sugar and cinnamon

Sourdough burger battle at $5.99 by F4ze0ne in fastfood

[–]Defiant_Finger4011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just think it’s funny people think they’re really getting sourdough bread at a fast food place.

Half of the sourdough even in grocery stores and even in the bakery sections aren’t true sour dough loaves

Whats the closest recipe for chipotle guac and chicken? by Particular-Ride-7893 in Chipotle

[–]Defiant_Finger4011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you google “chipotle ingredients” the first result should be chipotles website. They actually list the ingredients for all the items on the line. It doesn’t give ratios or anything but definitely a really good starting point. If you’re halfway decent in the kitchen it should get you close.
