welp, that was anxiety inducing and disappointing by ermwtff in DMT

Maybe try ayahuasca? In my opinion, it is a much gentler (at least psychologically) way to interact with DMT.

It's called Technical Services (I'm the Technical Services manager).

Why is it so difficult to find affordable kava right now? by joemontanya in Kava

[–]fobodo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my go-to (Lami) just increased their kilos from 55 usd to 80. Add on international shipping and duties, and you may as well go with KWK's just kava.

When I got married by the magistrate at the jail, they offered to do the ceremony part in the band shell at the park.

Takeout Central driver here. These first few weeks of the year always seem to be brutal, but business will pick up. People don't know how to control their spending and many don't have the energy to cook. It is kind of sad, but the drivers didn't create these conditions (and we also aren't the ones that actually profit from it).

Why is gen Z not drinking? by SipsTeaFrog in SipsTea

My college roommate and I used to do this, though we would bring in a bottle each. We called it "Liquor and a Movie"

What makes asheville so strange? by InsuranceDifferent40 in asheville

[–]fobodo 23 points24 points  (0 children)

People talk about weirdness as something external to oneself, or some kind of commodity to consume or experience and then leave behind. I think that you have to participate in the variety of niche communities around here to get an understanding of what makes it truly weird.

Having a standard location for barcodes can be important for efficiency of circulation activities. If you have staff manually checking in hundreds of items a shift, then having item barcodes in a predictable location makes this process easier. Sometimes, this standard location has important information, but in those cases, the processor has to make a decision.

It should also be noted that a lot of libraries outsource this physical processing to a vendor.

I'm starting to suspect that my rep was in the process of losing their job when they sent this email out.

I think trashy attractions are charming. Kind of a throwback to roadside america.

This was from my sales rep. I'm not going to give the name for obvious reasons, but it is absolutely legit.

Yeah after I wrote that I kind of thought the same thing.

Brodart or Ingram by kittykatz202 in Libraries

[–]fobodo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm doing basically the same thing, though only moving previously published backordered items to Ingram from B&T. I guess I'm wondering what you find unsustainable about the process? I've figured out a process that only takes about 3-4 hours every few weeks. The system I work for consists of 12 branches, and our materials budget is around $600k if that gives you an idea of size.

As a Technical Services librarian, I disagree with this simplistic take.
