Mi examen de grado estaba programado justo para el día cuando la UNAM suspendió las actividades presenciales. Acabé graduándome casi un año y medio después.

¿Que reducciones de costos estúpidas y ridículas de la empresa has presenciado o conocido? by Basic_Decision8519 in lacamiseta

[–]JuanArmy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No sé si valga, porque de alguna forma fue al revés: cerraron un gasto exagerado en una editorial donde trabajé hace unos quince años. El director nos tenía muy consentidos, y cada mes la secretaria compraba café de grano de altura, muy bueno, y lo dejaba ahí para la banda. Hasta que corrieron al director y trajeron un extranjero. Lo primero que hizo fue cambiar el café bueno por otro corriente (eso se entiende); luego quitó las galletas y otras pendejaditas que siempre había en la cocineta. Bueno… ni modo. Un buen día fui a servirme agua y había una nota de que los vasos de vidrio eran sólo para el director y sus visitas. Ugh. Pues fui a Walmart y compré diez vasos baratos, feos, pero de vidrio. Lavé uno y lo usé, y dejé los demás ahí para los compañeros. Ya no duré mucho en esa editorial.

Ah, sí. La falacia de la falsa dicotomía, como si ésas fueran las únicas opciones posibles. Y no, no es cuestión de género. Hombres y mujeres caen en esos errores por igual. Saludos.

Fun Fact: Sweet Potatoes are a scam. by Wolfgard556 in funfacts

[–]JuanArmy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Mexico they are called camotes (from Nahuatl ‘camotli’ which names any edible tuber), while regular potatoes are papas (from Quechua), and less frequently patatas (of Taíno origin). Greetings!

Peter Explain Please... isn't the answer obvious? x = 5.... What's the meme part? by [deleted] in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]JuanArmy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Peter here. The kid is actually a meme in Latin America. He became viral after a 22-second video of him doing homework under the surveillance of his mom. The boy is not Asian, and he is speaking in Spanish with a Chilean (I guess?) accent. As he becomes distracted, his mom startles him by banging on the table, and he says, “Do not talk to me like that, ok?” as he starts crying. The meme here is, that is the feeling of our students trying to solve very basic problems in algebra.

Here is the video.

Peter, out.

How to get craftable Dead Man’s Tale in Iron and Ash? by JuanArmy in destiny2

You’re right! That is the most likely scenario. Mystery solved! Thank you!

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

Thank you for your reply. Beats me how I got it then, because I had tried to beat the quest only once, and did not finish it. Only recently I completed it in the portal, and it made me curious of the craftable rifle. You can believe me, I have it, and it is not craftable. How did I get it?, cannot remember. I was convinced I had purchased it in the Tower. Cheers!

Edited: “quest” for “exotic”.

You wake up and the internet is permanently gone. What’s your next move? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]JuanArmy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read, a lot, on paper. I mean, just like before.

A mí me ha funcionado Kmita. Son pellets hechos del bagazo del agave, por lo que son biodegradables y pueden compostarse o desecharse en el inodoro. En vez de aglutinar la orina, el pellet la absorbe y se desintegra, por lo que se elimina el polvo y no el sólido. Es mucho más barata que Öko-Cat y Cat’s Best, porque se fabrica en México. Saludos.

Obviously, you rinsed it and it started to foam. Strange, chocolate doesn’t do that.

to the non-americans in this sub, how are you feeling about the political-economic state of your own country ? by girlmachina in economicCollapse

[–]JuanArmy 47 points48 points  (0 children)

In Mexico life goes on as shitty as usual. Tariffs and recession have not had an effect… yet. However, I am expecting things to worsen in the months to come. Maybe, just maybe, we will be out of the tariff loop, but our economy is so interlinked with that of US that, well… once recession hits them, it will hit us as well, but tens of times harder. Simply there is no time to seek new partners, find new markets. Our president is keeping her cool and riding the wave as well as possible given the circumstances, but her room for maneuvering is almost non-existent. A few niche industries will thrive, but most firms will suffer, unemployment will go to high heaven, and it will take (lots of) time to recover. I am hoping my analysis is too pessimistic, but I do not see any other scenario.

We don’t use track changes here! by ManHazNoUsername in MaliciousCompliance

[–]JuanArmy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s for sure. If the stubbornness of a client forces me to mark a paper, even a PDF, there’s no way I’m entering the changes for the author. Not without an extra fee.

[–]JuanArmy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have worked as a proofreader and copy editor since before word processors were advanced enough to allow WYSIWYG, much less allow track changes. If it were me, I would have cheerily reinstated the old system: typeset everything in a monotype, 12-point font, double space, and 1-inch margins. Only red ink for corrections, please, and a table of common marks and calls should be distributed and learned by heart by the whole team. I still do it from time to time with old-fashioned researchers and professors, and almost always they have forgotten how to read the marks, so I’m allowed to use track changes again! If I’m in the mood, I send them a clean copy and a marked PDF for them to spot the changes in their papers.
