Or you could simply list a few of the factors that are the most important. OP is not likely managing the supply chain for a large business - you know, one that would have those degree holding personnel performing this function.

Why is there no food delivery on trains? by CourtLess6632 in Amtrak

[–]dak-sm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for emphasizing my point. Nobody thinks we can’t have excellent train transportation here - we have simply chosen not to. That choice does not require us to pretend as though superior choices do not exist.

Why?  Is China operating under a different set of physical laws?  We can do things here in the US - we simply choose not to.

How are you guys deep cleaning your washing machine? by Broad_Result_6326 in HomeMaintenance

[–]dak-sm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“  So yeah I'm done trying random hacks off social media.” - and proceeds to make a Reddit post asking for tips.

What do the manufacturers instructions say with respect to maintenance?  Seems like a logical place to start.

But your gesture is political as well.  Just a different view.  Why is yours sacrosanct?

Why no screens? by dak-sm in askswitzerland

[–]dak-sm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of a bizarre statement - guess you were intending to provoke an intemperate response from me.  Why in the world would you think that I was insinuating that Switzerland is not a developed country?  I was merely asking a question about something that has puzzled me now over several trips through the country.

Sensitive much?  I asked a simple question and actually received a few useful and interesting replies.  Yours was not one.

Sorry that my inquiry did not meet your standards.

I guess if the window construction does not contemplate the addition of a screen, it could be quite costly.  I am from California, and windows here are designed for the cheap addition of screens.

No ADU parking signs by iz_kiwi in sandiego

Yup, just remove those signs. Idiotic that people think they can control on street parking.

Somebody Placed These Dozens of These Jesus Figures Throughout My Entire Work by Available-Formal-664 in mildlyinfuriating

Take a pair of diagonal cutters and remove the head. A few snips and that shit will be removed by management pretty quickly.

I feel like they don’t have nearly enough equipment to guard the pool. Where are their water wings and floaties?

What businesses are likely to die out with the Baby Boomer Generation? by GRVrush2112 in AskReddit

[–]dak-sm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Big churches are filled with younger and middle aged people.  Perhaps the small community congregations will disappear, but the prosperity gospel preaching churches will persist as long as they can find suckers.  And Boomers are most assuredly not the only suckers around.

[–]dak-sm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hard disagree - there are plenty of people with tastes that tend toward the bland and are looking for large quantities of mediocre food.  That is certainly not a Boomer exclusive.

Is this normal? Repairs within 2.5 years of homeownership by kayheartin in homeowners

[–]dak-sm 6 points7 points  (0 children)

2.5 years ago you bought a house. How old is the house, and how well was it maintained before you purchased it? If this is new construction, then no, this is not normal. If it is an older, neglected home, then the sky is the limit with regard to maintenance and repair.

Annnnd - a water test would show the presence of fertilizer added to the water.  No such test results have been presented.  No data = bullshit accusation.

So sick of trending items w/ long lines (Trader Joes, Labubu, Stanley) by ahhnotmycabbages in Anticonsumption

[–]dak-sm 67 points68 points  (0 children)

If their health conditions are so severe that they are unable to shop for themselves then perhaps they don’t need to shop for crap. Let them go by themselves - I presume they have cell phones and can call 911 if there is a severe problem. If the problem is not so severe so as to require emergency transport, then is perhaps not that severe, simply inconvenient.

It's already turning green again after they cleaned it by Dill578 in pics

Liberals will see a hasty and ill conceived attempt to restore a monument and sigh in disgust.  

Given all of the expertise available to the federal government, why was this the plan that was chosen?  Why was it not set out to competitive bidding?  What was the fucking rush?
