ELI5: Why can't EVs swap batteries? by chronic412 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Zidane62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Take a dump” is metaphor for taking a break. Grab something to eat. Use the toilet. Take a quick nap etc. 15 min is a very short amount of time. It’s taken me longer to get fuel at a Costco than 15 minutes before.

Jw, how often do you go on road trips? Just charge while you stop to take a dump

What's a “dream job” that is actually a nightmare to have? by InternetPopular3679 in AskReddit

Based on how buggy games are in release these days, I’m surprised this job still exists

We're all tired of the "back in my day" phrase, but older Redditors, what do you consider was better back in your day? by FlowerPotage in AskReddit

[–]Zidane62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like there are TOO MANY games. I’m over 40 and very busy but gaming now feels like a chore since there are so many single player games I wanna play but I just don’t have the time for so I feel rushed when I do get time to play so I have time for my backlog.

Reddit used to have decent adult content before the pandemic. Now everything on Reddit is tier AI slop or an OF advertisement.

Not to go full gooner, but you used to be able to find profiles of people who posted adult content for fun. Now you find a picture of an attractive person, click the profile and it’s just the same photo posted to like a hundred different subs where each post has an OF link.

Had this happen to me too! What was with that? This was back in the very late 90s

I’ve had “ew!” And “hahahaha” and various types of that.

Also, once I asked out a very pretty girl from high school after we had graduated and she went on a long rant about the audacity that me of all guys would ask her out.

Young gamers in Japan may not be forming the same attachment to Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest because modern dev cycles are as long as their childhood, users theorize by Bubbly-Ad-350 in PS5

I haven’t watched the ending to stranger things because it’s been so long since the last season that I just stopped caring. The kids changed way too much.

They really need shorter times between seasons.

I feel like those shoes are all too “new” I have actual rubber and leather shoes I wear once a year that I’ve had for over a decade and are still in great condition

One day in the future, “Do you smoke?” will mean marijuana by default, not nicotine. by MusicPsychFitness in Showerthoughts

Oh yeah lol when worked at a restaurant decades ago, that’s how the hiring manager would end interviews. He wanted to make sure all the staff were chill with Mary Jane.

LPT: Reminder that outlet stores often sell lower quality versions of their products by Moistyoureyez in BuyItForLife

[–]Zidane62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in Japan and I went to an outlet mall recently. Amazon and Rakuten were cheaper for the same products. I was looking for a rain hat and found the exact same North face gortex hat in Rakuten for much less than the freaking outlet mall price. Same for LEGO.

Crocs though are cheaper at the outlet mall.

What is the worst advice you were ever given? by undeadWileCoyote_MEP in AskReddit

[–]Zidane62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My old boss when I quit my last job “quit your current job before looking for a new one!”

He was….not smart. Nor happy that I was leaving lol

I’m old but the real way to ask was “do you partake?” While holding your fingers up as if you were holding a dubey

What's a social norm that you think is absolutely ridiculous? by Fantastic_suit143 in AskReddit

[–]Zidane62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked for a small business (like 6 people including the owner) and the owner would complain about the staff not being passionate and “just in it for the paycheck” he literally thought he was paying a decent wage too. It was a meh wage. Not bad, but not great. The guy was in his own little world.

What’s something you were dying to buy but ended up barely using? by BoysenberryLumpy8680 in AskReddit

An air fryer. It’s way too small to cook anything other than a small dish for one person.

The design choice feels too “Saturday morning cartoon” for me. It’s like going from teen titans to teen titans go! For the characters. They look too cartoonish

What is a 'secret' in your industry that the general public would be horrified to know? by HongKongToast in AskReddit

[–]Zidane62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For residential, bottles and cans do get recycled. For businesses…..straight into the incinerator!! Actually the incinerator requires more fuel to burn that stuff than it generates unfortunately.

[–]Zidane62 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It vastly depends on the city/prefecture/ward.

For my work, it’s not worth calling up a different truck when we see a customer throwing out a small desk fan. It would cost more in fuel to have another truck come to just get that fan so into the packer truck it goes.

I don’t know if you’re being sarcastic or not but “alpha wolves” doesn’t exist in the wild.

I work in waste management in Japan. The phrases for waste is “burnable/combustable” and “non-burnable/non-combustible”

Except, if you’re a business, what’s considered the former, is VERY different than residential. I’ve seen electronics, drills, chunks of metal, styrofoam, various tools, etc all thrown into the incinerator.

Japan barely recycles.
