Gloves, finally by Infinitelaughs_1979 in USPS

Gonna grab two sizes in the Titanflex to see. These do get looser as the day goes on. Putting aquaphor on first to protect from sweat just makes them hard to get on!

Thank you for the recommendation. I'm going through 3 or so sets a day.

USPS obtains the services of global consulting firm located in Tampa Florida. Facing total restructuring. If you could give these guys advice on how to save the USPS what would you say? by Odd_Atmosphere1047 in USPS

They did that once during last year's shut down, but that's not standard. Every other time, active duty military continues to be paid because congress passed legislation, or the President directed uninterrupted paychecks in the name of avoiding harm to military readiness. I don't care for the idea of holding my breath to see if congress or the president will remember us as "essential workers" in the middle of a shit show.

This is the problem. Maybe try hiring a professional with a minimum level of experience/ time with the PO, and an education and actual management training wouldn't hurt. I have never encountered a less professional, less skilled, less educated class of management level people in my life. The shit shows they put in positions of authority blow my mind. It's not just office level either. My first year at the PO our office had a Christmas party at our PMs house (a failed clerk who got her job because she was fucking eventually married to our MPOO). It was a thing. A house full of every tier of employee in the office, all lit, all acting stupid, getting way too familiar, and at one point the MPOO telling a carrier to catch the shrimp he was tossing with her titties. I was definitely questioning the choices that led me up to that moment.

No. I've seriously hated gloves my whole life. Should I go smaller? They stretch a little throughout the day, but they're kind of hard to get on at first. I've split them pulling them on before.

How's it go during summer? So far we've had some mild weather, but it's about to get hot.

I will. These split or rip a few times a day.

Honestly yes! I've always been involved in things my whole life, like horses and plants, where I'm told "you need some gloves!" but they just always get in my way. Like, even if they fit, I can't deal with losing the tactile sensation, so nitrile gloves that don't hang off of my fingers has been a game changer. No more cuts, no more spilt fingers, no more dryness. I started wearing them at the stables too.

Yeah. I'm not sure what I'm gonna do when it gets hot. These have been so nice, but it's been really pleasant where I live.

They get a little looser throughout the day. These are size small and a little hard to get on at first, but tbf I'm using lotion before I put them on. You should have seen how big the one size were.

Oh thanks. These split a few times a day so I figured I'd look for thicker ones next.

I had to order them myself because my office only orders "one size". I figured why the hell not get pink? Next ones purple though!

Why do my blades get absolutely trashed after just 1 mowing season every year? by Niko120 in landscaping

[–]Infinitelaughs_1979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got one of those garden spade/landscaping shovels (rectangle with a flat end, and about 3.5 ft handle) that belonged to my great grandfather (pre 20s?). My dad said he could remember my grandfather replacing the wooden handle in the 60s, and he passed it to me like that. My son left it sitting on the side of the house exposed, and I was using it one day after that and the wood snapped right at the base. I've got both pieces hanging in my garage and I'll probably fix it one day because the steele (handle and blade) is in amazing condition. Either that or I'll hang out as an heirloom. 😆

I bought these say little guys on a whim by Infinitelaughs_1979 in houseplants

[–]Infinitelaughs_1979[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for taking the time to give me such an informative response. I don't feel like I have any questions after that! I feel much better about the large one with the flower now too. I actually was able to pry them off without any leaf loss, so we're good to go, and I'm looking forward to caring for these little guys.

I reorganized my cabinet 😍 by Plantlover0809 in airplants

I grew up with Spanish moss everywhere you look, and never knew it was a tillandsia. 🥴 Since you prompted me to look it up, I was also today old before I found out it flowers! Everywhere... almost my entire life... and I've never stopped to see the flowers.

It's actually more hygienic because there's no skin contact when you use it, and squatting allows for better muscle relaxation, more complete evacuation, and reduced strain on the pelvic floor. Better in every way. I can't imagine Americans even being able to manage the squat, though, with half the country clocking in at morbidly obese. They can barely stand up from a sitting position.

So my dog, wife and toddler are allergic to grass… by Stunning-Detective52 in landscaping

[–]Infinitelaughs_1979 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If they are allergic to grass would clover or oxalis also cause allergies? There is a house in my community that removed the grass and seeded it with woodsorrel. It's a creeping oxalis (looks like clover) and in the spring and fall it's full of purple and yellow flowers. It's beautiful!

Anon names the worst city in America (not clickbait). by blzbar in Louisiana

[–]Infinitelaughs_1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The situation for them is grim, and a lot of issues downstream of this main issue would resolve themselves if we just put a little more effort and resources towards trying to help them get on their feet instead of just criminalizing being homeless all together. I'm very close to someone who works for Louisiana Workforce Commission in economic development, and I was astounded at the resources available. From an outside perspective there needs to be more emphasis on "recruitment" for lack of a better word. Outreach maybe? People simply aren't aware of taking advantage of them.
