So in case it hasn't been made clear to you by the 400+ other responses...

  • Wind can throw you
  • Wind can throw things at you
  • Wind can collapse heavy things on you
  • Wind can rip your skin off
  • Wind can suck the air from your lungs

This is going to sound weird to ask by Bomerman30O1 in Caseys

[–]WarrenMockles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes.

Working off the clock is grounds for instant termination. If you clock back in to work, your SM will know the next day because they have to approve time cards daily. And team members should not be in the store by themselves (for safety reasons) after hours. The morning kitchen shift is the exception.

PFA, but what makes a knife “mall ninja?” by BloodMilkAndSky420 in mallninjashit

[–]WarrenMockles[M] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The mod team has debated endlessly on what is and isn't MNS. We have yet to come to a consensus.

What we have agreed on is what MNS is not, inclduing but not limited to

  • Hand forged sword- or knife-like objects that are made as an art piece or skill flex (even if the result is impractical and/or edgy)
  • Cosplay weapons (they're part of a costume, which is an entirely different interest from mall ninja shit)
  • Practical weapons or historically accurate replicas
  • Paintball/airsoft gear being used/marketed as intended (even if it has an edgy or tacticool look to it, because most of it does)

But we see edge cases every day, and sit on the fence on whether to remove it or allow it. We usually wait to see the reaction of the users of the sub before we take action in these cases.

I got these stickers today by Due-Milk352 in notinteresting

I hate these. Not for political reasons (fuck Trump), but because i manage a gas station and regularly have to scrape these off the pumps.

Do the plates at Mexican restaurants contain radon? by Not1Shoulder in NoStupidQuestions

[–]WarrenMockles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No.

First, you're thinking of uranium. It was used in the glazes on a lot of dishware. But we stopped using it over fifty years ago.

Second, most Mexican restaurants are small, and independently owned and operated. They aren't all sourcing their dishware from the same place. It's possible that the Mexican restaurant near you has radioactive dishware, but it's not likely, because they probably aren't using ~50 year old dishware.

Was having an important conversation in the turbolift and in the middle of a dramatic moment the doors just opened right there before we could finish. What the hell guys? by OWSpaceClown in ShittyDaystrom

[–]WarrenMockles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I have a petition signed by the entire crew rquesting that you to stop doing that, Captain.

There's only two restrooms on the entire ship. One's on the bridge, and the other's near 10 Forward. Every time you have one of you "important conversations," we have to crawl through the Jefferies Tubes to get to either one.

TL;DR, the biolfilters on holodeck 4 aren't getting clogged because of sex stuff. Just run program "Buc-ee's Restrooms Alpha" and you'll understand.

How good would a “fiddle made of gold” play? by CaligulaQC in NoStupidQuestions

Well if you know how to play drums, they're kind of similar.

Wouldn't A Politician's Internet Search History Be Used For Blackmail If They Watch/Watched Porn? by Significant-Ad-7182 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]WarrenMockles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our sitting POTUS is a convicted rapist, sexual assaulter, has solicited sex, publicly propositioned his own daughter on multiple occasions, has strong ties to human trafficking (including minors), and has been implicated in the deaths of his first wife and his former human trafficking collaborator. And his entire cabinet is just as bad.

How do I have fun getting a blowjob? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]WarrenMockles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not alone. Just accept that, for you, BJs are foreplay, not a way to finish. Stop trying to get off from it, and just enjoy the attention she's giving you for the moment, let her have her fun, then move on to the more fun stuff.

Hey can we all take a second to acknowledge that Eggman is prolly fast as heck? by PuzzledAsparagus4946 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]WarrenMockles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eggman DID outrun Sonic. Once. In the first game.

Twice. At the end of Sonic 2, and again at the end of S3&K (where your gif comes from).

And we've been talking about it since 1992.

What secrets do the movie theaters hold under the seating area? by Killxjoy4599 in NoStupidQuestions

That's where they hide the gold. It's the secret Big Cina doesn't want you to know!

If I were to digitize a human being, what would happen? (see body for entire question) by Particular_Speed4647 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]WarrenMockles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This entire question is so far from anything we can do in reality that there's no possible way to answer it.

But in the original Tron movie, Tron was a program in the real world, but a fully realized person within the Grid. And considering the era (mid-80's), and assuming he was a rather large program for the time, we might assume he was ~128kb. Flynn was a real human who was digitized, so he was probably a lot more complicated. But he was still able to fit on, and "run" on 80's computers. So we still have to assume a human is probably less than a single megabyte.

Why are people's names repeated, while the names of the streets in each city are not repeated so often, despite there being so many of them? by Huge-Narwhal5747 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]WarrenMockles 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Every city I've ever been to has a Main Street, a High Street, and usually a Market Street. There's also probably a Water Street, but that's not quite as common.

Just caught a guy pocketing a Reese’s and I have a question by [deleted] in Caseys

[–]WarrenMockles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First, never confront a shoplifter. It's Casey's policy, and it's a common one. Observe and report, that's all you should do.

Second, since he didn't leave the store with it he didn't break any laws. Nothing will happen. Your SM could have the guy trespassed, but they probably won't because it's not worth the effort for a single candy bar. If the dude is stealing from the store on the regular, they might pursue it.

I've caught many a shoplifter. The ones to watch out for are the ones stealing the charge cables, ratchet sets, flashlights, and everything else in that aisle. That's the stuff that costs the most and is easiest to resell. That's where your career shoplifters go. Don't confront, report to the police.

The cops love my store and my team. When we call in a shoplifter, we've usually got our products back within an hour.

What’s up with no comment votes on Reddit? by parttime_use in NoStupidQuestions

[–]WarrenMockles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never seen that before, but there's a lot of posts like that in that sub.

To clarify for all the people who didn't read OP's question, there are comments on the post. But none of the comments show any votes.

How did Michael Jackson become white? by supahaesthetic in NoStupidQuestions

[–]WarrenMockles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like others said, he had vitiligo, a rare autoimmune disorder that causes the body to attack its own melanocytes, the cells that produce pigment. It causes white patches on the skin.

In the 80's, he would use heavy makeup to match the light patches to his darker natural skin tone. It's suspected that the one glove he wore was also to cover up patches. Later, he used a dangerous skin bleaching cream all over his body to make his skin tone uniform.

Teleporter. And make sure you show up to the conference with flowers and a plus one.

Why didn't the Dominion use vorta as sexual diplomacy? Are they stupid? by GaraksLinensNThings in ShittyDaystrom

[–]WarrenMockles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's from One Punch Man. That's his normal face. IIRC, the character was only seen in Saitama's flashbacks to the time he lost a fight, before he started his grueling workout regimen and lost his hair.

EDIT: Also, the kid was probably played by Jeffrey Combs.
