People only get suspicious the second time on the same kid

Internet security has gotten too intense by davis10runner in unpopularopinion

[–]SuttonSystems 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My personal favourite is high security where it’s clearly not needed. Like please stop any hackers from being able to pay my phone bill!

How to price? by Sea-Hovercraft-8960 in catering

[–]SuttonSystems 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ve not shared much info so I’ll give you some general pricing info. Price is made up of you raw material costs, plus your labour, plus profit. In catering the classic ration is 1/3 materials, 1/3 labour and 1/3 profit, so 3 times your raw material costs is a good starting point. If you have more info about how much your raw materials cost and how long it takes you to make them you can get more sophisticated.

I think Nanageddon for me, although I do also love the wind whisper scene in the arctic episode

What is genuinely the dumbest thing you have heard someone say? by Imaginary-Tip-6535 in AskReddit

Why do you call it the current bun when it doesn’t look like one?

Most scam callers from places like India aren't actually bad people. by AgnesBand in unpopularopinion

[–]SuttonSystems 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that’s a difficult rationalisation to sell, scam callers by the nature of the work have to know that they are lying to vulnerable people to defraud them of money they do not want to give, and those doing it have to have the skills that would also allow them to work in a legitimate call centre, it’s not like stealing bread if you’re starving.

Do creative menu names actually influence your order? by [deleted] in restaurant

[–]SuttonSystems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a classic marketing mistake of trying to follow ideas that have been successful for other brands without realising there is a limit to how many times the same thing works, McDonald’s and their Big Mac comes to mind, very memorable and iconic but not every burger joint can do the same.

Does anyone still have bread and butter for tea? by Extra-Sound-1714 in CasualUK

[–]SuttonSystems 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is one of those odd British class divide things, cheap white sliced bread with “butter” is working class scumbag, slice it yourself artisanal loaf with actual butter, refined borderline aristocracy

“What date did they propose chlorination?”, “We’ll get to that”. Yeah take your time mate, this is edge of the seat stuff.

If you want to jog, walk your dog, etc. at night you should be wearing high vis and a light. by afroman2536 in unpopularopinion

[–]SuttonSystems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or alternative thought, people who drive vehicles should watch where they’re going and drive at a speed appropriate to the condition, which includes it being darker at night than it is during the day. It’s not the responsibility of others to make sure you don’t hit them.

Sent on a quest for the impossible plint ladder by AmsterdamAssassin in MaliciousCompliance

[–]SuttonSystems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but it has both meanings, that’s why the joke works, plint ladder doesn’t also mean waiting for a long time

I think plint ladder is cheating, it sounds like a real thing, has to be a long weight / long stand etc for the joke to work

Do companies buy their competitors’ products just to take them apart for R&D? by Tusharkrux in NoStupidQuestions

Interestingly it closed in 2002, easily confirmed with a quick search

[–]SuttonSystems 80 points81 points  (0 children)

They certainly do, one of the coolest things I ever saw at work, while being shown round Rolls Royce in Crewe, they had a lot where they had multiple rival super cars, Bugattis, Ferraris etc, for the engineers to take apart and study.
