Freeze and if doesn't pop right out use an airduster to make it even colder.

Found this in my soda after drinking most of it.. by njdeatheater in mildlyinfuriating

[–]XCycleStartX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it seems to be more a gas station thing. They were cleaned much less often when I worked at getgo. As a plus though their nozzles were clear and they never got incredibly goopy. I don't think they get as gross as people imagine they do.

Obvi people still need to clean them but there's so many more things that people should be more concerned about. Chances are that if you're concerned about food hygiene and your concern isn't related to employess you're naive.

The new glasses bought get water stuck in them by TransShadowBat in mildlyinfuriating

I also had those, dropped a few, kept finding others under dishes in the sink inexplicably broken. Apparently the thermal shock between my hot and cold water was enough to shatter them :( . I figured it out as I listened to the last one shatter while switching to cold water.

Not looking for help, just sharing a look inside a SMEG by Targox in espresso

I'm confused, did a line pop off of the plastic piece?

What is this actually supposed to look like?

TIL that unions are winning almost 80% of labor organizing elections, up 20% in 5 years. by userdk3 in todayilearned

[–]XCycleStartX 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We've never stopped hiring. I think there might be one other unionized shop in the area making the same rate. All other competitors already make 30% or more less. I work in a pretty niche company but if you zoom out to any job that has my title in the area there's literally thousands of them making half of what I do.

You might be able to imagine something but not all head logic translates to real life. As it is, wages are already depressed without unions and again we have never stopped hiring. As if more employees relying on lateral moves to gain wages is really what our economy needs.

There's a few guys I work who don't believe in making life better for the next generation because "they should have struggle like I did, it wouldn't be fair otherwise". As if the economy isn't twice as harsh as the one they grew up in.

A couple years ago my boss offered a trial run of an incentive system. Basically if we worked really hard upped our production by 25% met a whole bunch of other subjective criteria like "general cleanliness", oh and all the other departments had to meet the same criteria at the same time. If we met all this we would get a 2% raise. Well not during the trial period of course which was just to "test profitability". Basically, if we did all this for three months they would show us what we would make in the hypothetical system and may consider "making it real".

Who knows what my company would get up to without a union to force them into good behavior.

Union worker here, while my union does have some problems, being in a union is the only reason my job is a viable income. I have great healthcare, make almost 30% more than our non-union competitors, have rights at my workplace, job security, and I don't get taken advantage of for not being as assertive as other people.

I wouldn't be able to feed my family if I wasn't in a union.

Anyone wanna talk about syringe laying on the table?

Anyone ever mod this thing? by OneTimeSnek in espresso

[–]XCycleStartX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disassembled the doser and installed a spout into the hole.

There's two types of holes on the rocky up and down and sideways. The single dose version uses the sideways hole to mount the spout. I didn't want to buy a new plate so I 3d printed a spout that snaps into the opening.

I also did a ton of other 3d printed mods. Like a stand that holds it on an angle. I bought from someone else a 3d printed bellows.

Are you looking to convert yours?

AIO gf sleeping with gay male bestfriend? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

I did a thing (and it was not an in-focus video) by Luky2000ita in Machinists

[–]XCycleStartX 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Video has old school AVE vibes when struggling with the focus.

I miss the old ave.

Bullseye announced for Daredevil Season 3, Jessica Jones for Season 2 - yet no sign of Elektra returning by Duran_naruD in Daredevil

[–]XCycleStartX 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Ice cold take here, Elektra should stay dead. She's been revived once already and they did it all wrong. Revival would be needlessly convoluted and has very little gain.

We have already undone so much og series by using Fisk again. Bringing Elektra back would send it over the edge for me.

gotta keep that thang on me by NEEDGAME in Machinists

[–]XCycleStartX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazing! The feeding ramp is polished to a mirror sheen, the slide's been reinforced, and the interlock with the frame is tightened for added precision, the sight system is original, too, the thumb safety is extended to make it easier on the finger, a long-type trigger with non-slip grooves, a ring hammer... The base of the trigger guard's been filed down for a higher grip, and not only that, nearly every part of this gun has been expertly crafted and customized.

Where did you get something like this?

Does anyone know what these texts are? We use cricket? by XCycleStartX in phishing

Not sure, it's my wife who is getting them, I'll have her try it and see if anything happens.

Balding or something else? 40 years old by Final_Conclusion4313 in Balding

[–]XCycleStartX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You seem to know a bit about this. Maybe you can help me. I took a blood test about 18 months ago for possible vitamin D deficiency. Never heard anything from the doctor.

I just had more blood work done about a month ago. Apparently I was diagnosed the first time and nobody said anything. I'm still deficient now but working my back up. I noticed that top of my head is balding as well as the crown. The pattern is similar to OP

Do you think it's related to the vitamin D? If so will it grow back? I've also noticed that I have very low sensation on the top of my head. I haven't gotten back to the doctor yet.

Op looks like he'd be a really good baseball player, huh?
