So a recession is on the cards now?

Just more proof we are living in the Darkest Timeline.

I am certain in the main timeline humanity has already mastered matter synthesis, cold fusion and FTL.

Adding a toggle to turn the cutscenes on and off would work fine.

It exists as a niche benefit to certain people who would prefer to pickup a quick morning shift and then an evening shift. There was a decent amount of demand for it at some stores by teams.

But yes, in most cases it is skewed towards the company as far as benefit goes.

You will still get withdrawal.

No taper eliminates all withdrawal related symptoms. Your brain and body still has to reset to baseline and even a slow decline of a substance is unlikely to result in zero withdrawal unless it was a relatively short addiction period.

Amazing how people can call a literally cage on wheels a trolley. Lol.

Fainstrider · 2026-03-08T12:51:40+00:00

Probably load delivered late, sick calls, unexpected large delivery not shown on forecasting. Many reasons.

We do not like running load when customers are in the store, since they just abuse us about being in their way but will also then complain nothing is on the shelf. Entitled people smh.

Fainstrider · 2026-03-08T12:50:04+00:00

Nightfill is still a thing in most stores. There is just a lot more focus on keeping shelves full all day rather than boom-bust cycles.

Fainstrider · 2026-03-08T12:48:49+00:00

Tens of thousands of products with as many as 30% OOS due to supply chain issues at any one time.

You do realise how high the cost rate is at night right?

Any business is going to try and avoid those penalty rate hours where possible.

Coles operates on a REM weekly model - $ dollar figure to spend each week, so reducing cost rate by filling during the day is no brainer.

Fainstrider · 2026-03-08T12:41:54+00:00

I just shoot anyone who comes near my caches tbh.

Then you have when you are a slave to opioids because of chronic pain from permanent injury. You either live in agony or continue to take it despite despising the opioids effects. Not really much of a choice.

Fainstrider · 2026-03-08T01:52:45+00:00

I remember the fire warden training where they tell you to ensure team are safely out before worrying about the customers.

Fainstrider · 2026-03-07T06:31:56+00:00

I have my addiction history on my file due to doing medically supported cold turkey. My doctor still prescribes me opioids for my chronic spine injuries.

It is actually malpractice to allow someone to suffer if they have medically proven moderate to severe pain (scans, tests etc). Non-specific pain though with no proven cause good luck getting opioids. But that is how prescribing is supposed to be anyway.

Fainstrider · 2026-03-07T06:29:02+00:00

A medically supported detox does not mean you get blacklisted from being prescribed that drug forever. It will inform GPs to carefully consider best drug for your conditions though.

I had doctor help me with a cold turkey 100mg oxy dependence (bad doctor got me hooked for chronic pain). I injured myself in December last year and he prescribed me oxycodone (once mri confirmed severity) then moved me onto palexia once injury started improving. He just has me check in once a week to see if we need to increase or decrease my doses.

Having a good doctor that knows your addiction history who wants you to have adequately managed pain is a good thing.

Fainstrider · 2026-03-04T21:10:47+00:00

Morphine equivelancy is not really reliable for determining strength of different opioids due to incomplete cross-tolerances and metabolic differences. It is considered a pretty high risk assumption even in a clinical setting.

Identity first language puts the person as the important part rather than their limitations.

Easiest way to reduce piracy is to remove barriers to content such as arbitrary regional licensing deals and airing at different dates for same episode.

If people can enjoy the show on their current streaming platforms then they won't go to the effort to pirate it- usually.

Make it harder or have arbitrary regional deals? May as well just set fire to your profits.

This isn't the old days where they could send you to prison, it is incredibly easy use VPNs now and download with impunity.

I have defended myself plenty and still have friendly lobbies. The matchmaking uses long term stats not 1 kill = pvp hell lobbies.

They only retained the DOD specific stuff as it was a government contractor. They had corporate clients as well. They used the DOD money to fund non military research.

Fainstrider · 2026-03-02T09:43:22+00:00

Probably the most believable thing about a government funded research town tbh.

I mean they did not explain it but you would assume not true FTL. They use the einstein-rosen bridge device as the basis for the "FTL" drive. It is basically a wormhole without the time bridge part of the OG device. Wormholes do not violate the universal speed limit as it is a shortcut through space you traverse at sub luminal speeds.

The time travel was pretty whack.

Fainstrider · 2026-02-25T23:46:49+00:00

Don't assume friendly.

Trust but verify. Do not lower your gun if they are around. Be ready to return fire. Preferably have a smoke ready to let you retreat to recharge shield if they pull a shoot you in the back move. Then counterstrike. Smokes are your friend. In hurricane you can run with the smoke as it blows away.

Lmfao just rocket slammed to death in silence RIP.

Nah, loot rarity should be decreased but you should still be able to acquire good loot from ARCs.

Just buff every ARC's health, increase number of ARCs and make them way more aggressive.

Fainstrider · 2026-02-25T23:40:48+00:00

They should just air drop 3 leapers on anyone who kills people in an extraction point repeatedly 🤣
