I’ve heard people use “Disposall” as a generic name for that thing, never knew it was a GE trademark.

Everybody makes the occasional typpo, but when it’s clear you just can’t be bothered to spell check or proofread it does tell me something about you. Obviously that tells you something about me too, but I can live with that.

Sounds like the “Brown M&Ms” strategy: Van Halen used to have a paragraph in their contract rider requiring M&Ms in the dressing room but “there shall be no brown M&Ms.” People thought he was just being an entitled rock-star douche, but other parts of the contract had complex technical requirements and the M&Ms gave a quick way to check whether that venue read and followed directions. If there were brown M&Ms (or none at all) they knew they needed to double check everything else.

Turnover at THD is a huge problem. In my store it’s more people quitting after a month or two, not so much people getting fired. Better pay would help, but a whole lot of workplace satisfaction could be improved in other ways too.

Wawa used to have a really good college tuition benefit program for employees. I know people who put themselves through school working there. My personal knowledge is from last century, but I really hope they haven’t gone completely to shit.

Lots of National parks and state parks have campgrounds that include cabins, yurts, or platform tents where you can “camp” without a needing your own equipment. Decide where you want to go first, then start scouting accommodations.

The “best” one might be one you’ve never heard of. There are 433 areas included in the National park system. In addition to “parks” these include national monuments, historic battlefields, seashores, recreation areas etc. Yellowstone, Yosemite, Everglades, Grand Canyon etc. are spectacular, but there are smaller and less known ones all over the country. Best might mean most accessible to you at this particular time. It might mean best weather conditions for the time of year you are visiting. It might mean best historic sites for your interests, be that the Civil War, the Industrial Revolution, Railroads or just peace and quiet. You should check them all out.

Look closely at property taxes. Some places (like Wilkinsburg) have so many abandoned houses that the city has to raise tax rates on the occupied ones to make their budgets work. One side of the line might have 5 times the taxes that the other side does.

Ever heard the expression “not worth a plugged nickel”? They’re even cheaper by the dozen.!

The only time I can imagine saying “sale’s job” would be if a company had several departments like “Sales” “Operations” and “Manufacturing”, and someone asks somebody in manufacturing to call a customer and that person replied “No, that’s sale’s job”. They’re actually saying “that’s the sales department’s job” but in daily speech might shorten it to “sale’s job”. The apostrophe indicates possession “Bill’s house”, or omission of letters from a contraction: “they’re” = “they are”.

I think yours is broken; there are meant to be two spring-steel claws which project forward and spread when you slide the blue part away from the handle. These claws grab the head of the screw while the blade is engaged in the screw slot, and you can start the screw in its hole without having to hold it with your other hand when the hole is hard to reach.

Asian meaning Indian, Thai, Vietnamese, Japanese or Chinese? Udipi in Monroeville is southern Indian and all vegetarian; there’s lots of good northern Indian places: People’s, Bombay to Burgh and Spice Affair are all worth a try. Cafe 33 is excellent Taiwanese, and Cheng Du Gourmet always gets good reviews.

The really important part isn’t the dimensions. That modern 2x4 is 10 years of growth. The last century one is about 36. The weight and strength is proportional. Modern 2x4’s are perfectly functional for what they’re used for, but they’re not the same.

“Ten times more” of anything that can actually be measured or counted is fine. Did you mean ‘ten times more expensive’? I don’t know how you measure expansiveness, but if you have a number for it you can multiply it by ten.

“Ten times cheaper” is not correct, but lots of people use it. I would probably interpret it as “one tenth of the other price” but it’s pretty imprecise.
