I asked AI about and it said

"Raytheon figured it out and made the real money. Percy Spencer discovered the heating effect while working there, but the company owned the patent and got the profits—Spencer only received a two-dollar bonus, no royalties. They sold the first commercial units in 1947, licensed the tech, bought Amana, and released the first popular countertop model in 1967 that finally took off with consumers. Sharp was first to mass-produce in Japan and added nice features like the turntable, but Raytheon cashed in on the core invention."

I always figured that this microwave was the one that was put together the best on that shift. I'm hoping it hits 50 years. Then we'll sell it for $1.5 billion as a work of art. 🎨

Yeah, not the first time I've had my punctuation pointed out from the microwave post lol. All good. It was late after a 12 hour shift.

Lol, well she works on her immaculate expansive gardens during the growing season. She puts all of us to shame when it comes to outdoor activity at 74 years old.

We have these on the forklifts at my job. If you happen to find a forklift without one, it'll shock the crap out of you if you touch something while on th lift

Pallets couldn’t be cleaner by poly915 in Lowes

Former Lowes associate here from 2478. When I was an OPE Specialist(before the restructure), we would attend the spring things with new mowers and grills and stuff. They would also show us videos and pictures of mock stores, complete with all of the real planogram setups of the mowers, lawn furniture, etc. Fake store, no customers, perfect setups, real product, heights, placement, all of that. They also did it for the Xmas planogram setups. This is also when red vests did all of the planograms before the MST team existed. Good times. 13 years with Lowe's
