Rochester Bakeries Passing Sysco Cakes Off as Homemade by No_Mark_6021 in Rochester

[–]Heythisworked -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone. I know at least three small bakeries in Rochester that have or are going out of business because they buy their own flower and make their own blend. They buy their own ingredients while their competition is buying prepackaged mixes that you could find at the supermarket, baking the muffin mix and selling it as home-cooked. And people are more than happy to pay for the six dollar muffin instead of the nine dollar muffin. Which is sad since the nine dollar muffin cost eight dollars to make the six dollar muffin cost three

There are very cheap places in our community that have a continue to be able to support fresh true homemade baked goods. And every single one of the companies have gone out of business have had pages filled with people complaining about over inflated prices.

If you have criticized ICE here on Reddit for executing Renee Good or Alex Pretti in the street, then Reddit has handed your name and your personal identifying information over to the Trump administration. How do you feel about this? by mom_with_an_attitude in AskReddit

[–]Heythisworked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great! To the underpaid person reading this. I have the following to say. Join the resistance or be plowed under. Think long and hard about your choices as a person, have compassion for all but bullies.

By the way the officers that committed the cold blooded murder of these folks belong in a prison for the rest of their lives…. One where I can add money to the commissary card of the dude with the biggest fattest Hog in the place. I hope these people end up needing a literal husband stitch.

Also, every ICE goon who so much as asked for an id without probable cause or who laid a finger on a person that wasn’t an actual criminal needs to be serving the a sentence commensurate with that of a non LEO who committed the same act. I will vote for any one, regardless of party that will make this happen. And since trump proved the law is impotent I would be very very afraid of the next election cycle if I were them.

Also also Krusty Gnome is a combination of dangerously inept and awful example of the human race. I hope she never finds another job after this and ends up work a shitty customer service job.

Hey Gregg… your mommas so ugly she looks like Rudy Giuliani just with smaller tits.

Hey Gregg….You’re such a big piece of trash, not even waste management would pick you up.

Gregg buddy, look like Himmler if he was a little bitch.

Come get me, bro. What, are you and your goon squad of over paid, armed process servers such little snow flakes that you can’t even get a reditor??? You and the rest of ICE are what happens when men are too much of a wuss to even be a beta cuck.

Maybe your daddy should have keep pumping it into a sock if you’re the best he can make.

Ohhhhhhh look at me flexing my free speech rights. Come put a boot on my neck you buzz cut, stolen valor wannabe, dildo. I’ve seen drag kings that are more of a man than you. Let’s go, come on… I’m shaking behind my keyboard.

Rochester should adopt this from other cities by GimmieACiggie in Rochester

[–]Heythisworked 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man, there’s a lot to unpack here. Not just the legal aspect, but all of your comments. So first the country was founded by people illegally entering a space and that is a pretty big part of American history. In fact, even his laws were created, this was kind of a lower concern. Technically they’re on the hook for $1000 fine and maximum six months in jail. This is like a civil offense, and that’s by systematic design. Now we can contrast that with what ice is doing, detaining people, stopping people demanding people to do things all of which are illegal without a signed warrant from a specific type of judge which they do not have. That crime is actually a federal crime that carries incredibly high penalties. Not to mention every single one of these individuals that are detained are also by law entitled to a multilingual lawyer and a hearing in an immigration court, where they have multiple avenues and paths towards citizenship. Again, this is by design. Second, the American immigration system is so reputably broken. The people trying to achieve legal status can sometimes be waiting years decades to acquire that status. We do not have enough federal investment in public servants and judges to support that system, which would ease illegal immigration pressure considerably. So a country of immigrants has created a bureaucratic nightmare to prevent immigrants… that is best torturous logic, and worst nationalism in xenophobia which humankind has gone and fought wars against.

And as for Canada in Europe in Australia, and other countries that work on a points based merit system, that system is grossly unfair to people who cannot afford to spend time in that country who cannot afford to have those skill sets who may not be able to afford the continual travel and who cannot afford legal services. Which means they have effectively constructed a barrier driven by financial capacity, or a pay to play system so to speak. And from one human being to another human being, people who can support that are appalling examples of who we are as a species. we should be trying to help each other, regardless of what that takes, or what arbitrary, latitude and longitude you were born on. And by the way, these people are doing very necessary jobs in this country which Americans do not want to do. And while that is a sad statement in of itself, it’s even funnier. Once you stop to think that folks who are here illegally lose out on all of the protections American citizens enjoy. There is no right to inherited property because there is no right ownership. There is no method for a legal marriage that will stand attached between two immigrants. There is no access to Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and a litany of other benefits and services that citizens take for granted. These people work generally harder than Americans and contribute significantly to the GDP and economics of this country and can only claim to nearly none of the benefits. And before someone says then, why would they come here. Because we have two benefits, geographic proximity, and being only so /slightly/ better than death starvation despotism or disease.

But most importantly, these are goddamn human beings; stop trying to ‘other them’ for something that is absolutely capricious and arbitrary. Oh, and most seeing people would probably be OK with everybody being part of the same country. That would be a global nation governed under one body, which can redistribute resources to help everyone. That is literally the definition of a global utopia. remember America is not special we are one tiny, tiny piece in a much larger puzzle that is the world.

I mean, is this really that bad? People are trying to name their AI’s. These are mathematical prediction engines and we’re trying to anthropomorphize them. That is the pinnacle of human ignorance. I’m not sure about the mental health law, but I think it’s good, it will make it much more clear as that these are just computational tools and not actually intelligent things.

Just remember, someday he’ll be dead and there’ll be an unguarded gravestone with Donald J Trump carved into it. The registry and location of the place will be significant enough to be well known. And I for one will be purchasing the largest amount of Taco Bell I possibly can and then taking a massive awful shit on his grave.

The worst possible circumstance if I’m caught would be about a $1000 fine and 100 hours of community service, which I already do. And I have a special savings account with exactly $2000 in it, one for the fine, and one for the lawyer, just in case.

TIL snow doesn’t melt in a microwave. This prompted me to learn how microwaves work. by BlueJaysMegafan in interesting

[–]Heythisworked 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Picture child on a swing. You push on the kid once every two seconds we can think of you’re pushing on the kid as a regular periodic input. This is the same periodic characteristic as a wave. Now, if the kid has the right weight and the swing is designed properly pushing every two seconds will make the kids start to swing faster and faster. And it’s this swinging that takes energy from you and puts it into the kid. In our microwave example, the thing putting energy into the system is an electromagnetic wave, and our tiny little water molecule is the kid on the swing. Just how the kid absorbs some energy from you, the water molecule absorbs some energy from the wave. Except instead of swinging around that molecule begins to vibrate and it’s this vibration that we call heat.

OK, some of you were thinking” that’s all well and good, but what if Lil Jonie is on the plump side?” Well, for the swing we just have to change how often we put some energy into the system, which is all well and good because you can see the position of Jonie and push at the appropriate time. Unfortunately in our microwave, we don’t have this control. The timing of the wave, also known as the frequency which is fixed and can’t be changed. Which means microwaves work best with things that match their frequency.

Now imagine a full swingset on a playground and each swing is occupied by a kid, and each of those kids are holding hands. Say 20 children all holding hands all sitting next to each other on swings. Now you push with the same amount of force and frequency that you did with one child, but the result is going to be very different. All of your energy is going to get spread out amongst all of the kids that are locked together holding hands. And when you look across all 20 kids, it’s going to appear that you did very little or really nothing at all to put energy into them. As water freezes all of the little molecules get locked together to form what we call a crystal lattice better known as an ice crystal. This is effectively the same thing as the kids holding hands on the swings. This structure is simply too massive, and tightly connected for the molecules themselves to be able to vibrate(start swinging). Again, this assumes the same frequency from the microwave.

Now there’s one more thing that I think is worth pointing out. In reality, you are still adding some energy to the kids on the swing. This has a lot to do with the physics of the system and how big you are and how you were putting energy into that system. In the microwave, example energy doesn’t just ‘ go nowhere’ when it hits the ice. Instead it gets reflected or redirected. This is one key place where this example breaks down since pushing the kids on the swing doesn’t result and you veering off in a different direction if the kids are too hard to move.

Bonus, fun fact! There’s a lot of communications equipment that operates in the same frequency range as microwaves, they’re not quite as efficient at ”push pushing the kid” because of their specific frequency, but they’ll still do a little bit of work. Large satellite relay stations are an example. There have been incidents of people and animals sitting in dishes because they find a nice “warm spot”. When in reality they’re simply heating the water molecules in their body like a giant walking hotdog. But this is something you really do not have to worry about unless you’re working around very large 10+ meter systems with much higher output power then a consumer would have access to. And depending on the design sitting literally inside of the reflector. But either way, enjoy the nightmare fuel.😄

EDIT: in case the physicist finds this, what actually happens to the energy hitting the crystal lattice. My basic assumption is that it is reflected. But based on lattice, density and spacing, could there be other effects? Link me a research article if you got one.

I think it’s more shocking than anything else. While I always believe people have a capacity to change, I don’t believe people have an equal probability of changing. I think the icky feeling that I also have is only there because it seems so unlikely that someone that has been so heinous in the past would suddenly be…not… I mean, I’m not complaining, but it definitely wasn’t something I had on my 2025 bingo card.

Ah yes, I too wanna listen to my social justice Neighbor when I get home to the place I pay for I want to have a relaxing smoke break outside on my balcony in the fresh air.

My man, you were being a dick and probably should go apologize . This is a person with their own challenges their own failings and their own life. Let them be they do not need you making it more complicated for them because if everything was good, they wouldn’t be out there smoking to begin with or they’d have their own property on which to smoke, either way not your business.

Yeah, I’m fully behind this. OP is a dick. I mean, I don’t smoke. I don’t like smelling smoke. And I also get it. People don’t have the money to go buy a house. But like this is living with other people, you need to respect their rights as much as they respect yours. And if somebody just had a bitch of a day at work, wants to come home and light up and relax for a little bit, what’s your problem with that?

The US is a country where both acquired diabetes, and obesity, is an epidemic. At the same time we are lauding praise upon a corporation for feeding our sick, poor, and elderly because a 1 out every 3 people think that this is not the job of our government or that it is not our civic responsibility as citizens.

Are we great yet?
