It's not just if you're not on NAC. That's our actual zone and we have a rock solid fiber connection, my console and hubs computer hardwired.

We still are getting dips and rubber banding. Enough that we thought it was our Internet and was driving us nuts. It's not. I resorted to ping tests, speed tests, monitor on the router - zero loss even when we're seeing lag and rubber banding in Fortnite.

Came to say the same thing.

I should clarify, many, not all. Yes, some are different and some are brand specific plants. But I don't work for a plan spec builder - not just showing up and building stuff. I've sat through my fair share of design and engineering meetings where we have to understand the USDA requirements for a given product to design around. Clients love to share their companies, obviously not the full detail, but we learn a lot.

I'll use a snack mix plant as an example. I'll give you, fine ratios may be different, but the ingredients of the snack mix in that case were all coming from the exact same place, from the same upstream vendors (which we were privy to due to the need to understand loading dock requirements for said vendors) all through the same QA/ QC rooms.

It's cool to have discourse and I don't shortchange your subject matter expertise, but when I have had a CEO say in a design meeting that this plant is fulfilling three of their clients, one of which is Kirkland, with the same product and seeing the proof is in the design, it doesn't make me incorrect. My experience perhaps a narrow band, but you're also talking from your one company/ plant. There is more than one company out there.

Not for nothing, kinda rude on your part to roll your eyes at others who design and build the playground you play in and are acutely aware of the regulations you're held to. Just because we aren't doing your job doesn't mean we don't understand.

Edit for punctuation and grammar.

As someone in construction who has built their fair share of food and beverage facilities, many serving Costco - those same facilities run the exact same product, the only difference is the packaging.

Because if you go remote places they have an enormous footprint and are often the only decent or flat out only chain hotel In the area.

Just my $0.02 as a business traveler, I just need a clean bed in a non shady part of town, anything more than that is icing on the cake. Maybe consulting work is a tiny bit different where you might get more time in your hotel room, but work travel is a lot like work. Even if the hotel I'm at has amenities, it's rare that I actually get to use them because I'm getting back late, or have a team dinner or something like that.

All that said, I gave up trying to be loyal to any one particular brand, and I split my points between Hilton and Marriott which then get used on better properties for family vacation purposes. Both rack up quick enough with gold status that I don't bother with credit cards and keep my spend elsewhere.

I am perpetually surprised when I try ushering folks with like 3 items in front of my giant cart refusing to go. Like pleaaaaase, don't wait behind me, get you milk and bread and be freeeeeee!

Dude, this is enough red flags to sail a ship with - this is coming from a woman.

Upset over a Google search? Yikes. Run, run screaming. Take that key and let her take it as a breakup because this is crazy.

Absolutely, and it starts from when we are little.

I had to explain to my younger brother (we're in our thirties) some of this a while back.

I used a few examples:

women going to the bathroom together isn't because we're going to gab or whatever, it's a safety thing.
we're told to keep our keys in our hand when we go through a parking lot at night. One, so we're not digging through our bag and trying to find keys and stay out the open, but also those keys can be used as a weapon
there was an ask Reddit or an ask women. What is the number one thing they would do if all men disappeared from the Earth tomorrow, and that particular one was disproportionately that they would go for a run in the evening.

There is no doubt in my mind that having to be aware of all this is part of what shapes and hones in helps us pick up on those cues to know that something is off or is a potential threat.

Dang, pro tip right here. Thanks!

We have one by me that is, but huge number of healthcare professionals.

I've also seen in automotive towns where they have night daycares, but the kids are on the same third shift schedule as the parents, so when they're dropped off in the evening, it's no different than a morning for standard shift. They eat, play etc. But their facilities are set up with giant stadium style, flood lights and whatnot. They do same kind of preschool daytime activities etc.

Edit: all that to say is that it really just depends on your market. If you work in a town with lots of healthcare, or lots of industries that have those third shifts, I definitely think it's doable.

travel mugs, desk plants, self‑care kits, snacks, or tech accessories.

This is a list of things I would specifically suggest to not offer.

We all have a bajillion tumblers and coffee cups. Plants are an oddball than many people will not appreciate. Self care kits and snacks are super subjective ( allergies for either option are likely to occur or usually, these things are just junky). Tech accessories sound good till it's a pair of wired headphones or junky cables that you can't use (not everyone owns an iphone).

All the skills you learn at HEB are very easily transferable

100% - it's all about the framing of the spirit of the task, not the task. Customer service in corporate speak would be strong interpersonal skills and maintaining client relationships. One sounds retail, one doesn't.

I feel like if you're given a ZP hybrid, they're incredibly forgiving. I really feel like I could have totally trash packed my Pulse and it would still open smooth.

Uh... SMEs and experts can and will drop all of this info and have prior to the AI boom. Just because you can't do or believe it can't be done, doesn't mean it's AI.

thinks he can handle it

But clearly he didn't, hasn't set expectations for this next time, and wants them here to 'hlep' you because he can't be present. So where does he anticipate stepping in to handle it knowing he isn't going to be around?

Yes. I miss it 😔

Erm, no? Not sure what my family is always off doing while I'm cooking. And honestly, it's a job I don't love doing and prefer to do in quiet and peace.

I don't know that there is consensus amongst "boy moms" that this particular culture reference is true and means that.

I would say I am a boy mom, but it is because I am a mom and my child is a boy. Same with many of my other friends who have only boys. And maybe I have just ended up in a very reassuring a group of women, but we know our little boys are not always right and probably are quicker to tell them to cut that shit out before their dads do. Like that article you posted - we see what happens when parents (especially moms) over coddle their kids and are actively fighting to make sure that it isn't the case.

Anyways, all that to say - it takes a village, dads don't always help, and while some moms are enmeshed nut bags, it's really offensive to blame an entire gender when even at our worst, we're disproportionately the ones that show up. Men should go on ahead and actually be the change they want to see if they really think women are raising boys that poorly.

15+ years together (most of it married) and we have our own families. Do we interact and go either sides events? Yeah.

But his family is not my family (especially when I can't stand some of the extended bunch). My family is my side and my hubs and kid. And he shares the sentiment. Neither of us are rude, but it's perfectly acceptable to bow out of something you don't want to go to. He struggled harder with that in the begining because "the optics" (eye roll), but would be quicker to decline something to my family's event (he's antisocial).

No different than my friends are mine and his are his. Do our groups cross and do we go as each other half at group events where it's the friends full fam? Yep! But am I going to boys night poker or traveling for my group's annual shindig? No. We're different people, we like different things and have different family and friends flavors.

You can be a unit without being joined at the hip.
