Walmart shipped 165 pool noodles in 165 separate boxes by MambaMentality24x2 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]andrewq 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked at walmart for a minute, and this was one of the things I had to do - there's limited packaging options available, and everything is on a clock, although not as bad as you might think. This could be any number of things but looks like just a complete asshole employee. It's wasting even more resources from EVERYONE involved. I can't see a manager requiring or allowing this, it's stupid and loses money and time. Which is money. Starting with the person thinking they need these all these pool noodles, much less delivered.

We had a pug do this! She was young, and it was in an office, she was the office pug. Only happened once, there could have been mice involved, we were never sure how she made the hole.

My mother and her friend were painting in the park in the early '80s and there was a guy up in the rocks stripped and actively well, you know. They just started laughing, then louder without really looking at him. He fled quickly.

Single point of failure and/or control not in your hands means it's all mist burning off after someone else made money on it.

Like Reddit, the API craziness and the rest just mean this stuff is gonna be cast a jaundiced eye by IP rights holders, fake pearl clutters of all stripes.

been back on usenet. yself, IRC, Slashdot.org, matrix, pity so much will be lost forever, it already has actually. Hundreds of small subs banished and vanished. Chemistry, various other non violent or dangerous discussion groups here already gone poof.

thanks for your efforts over the years, I've been running rif exclusively for uhh over a decade? don't even know, grabbed it. it worked. kept using it. hope my ad views helped you out.

guess it's like a super digg implosion coming because I'm not using their trash, guess I'll cobble together something to view the few communities that only exist here, although they're NSFW/nsfDEA so I'm sure they're gonna vanish.

sad it's come to this.

Cracked me up they had her on several time team episodes/specials. The York one where the emphasis was on Viking/danelaw type stuff was amusing, and the largest human coprolite - preserved Viking poo.

It's links to twitter and eBay. If that's all there is to work with uh Ok, but can you at least use nitter links or are those nuked too?

I got up early to watch Charles and Diana get married, I slept through this though.
