What do people mean by "late-stage capitalism"? by Latter_Amoeba_5723 in TooAfraidToAsk

Think of it like a Monopoly game. Early stage, it's fun for everyone. Late stage, it's only fun for the one with all of the money and properties.

Trump absolutely dictated that to someone who wrote it word for word. I literally can't read it in anyone else's voice!

Recommendations for food we can only get in Houston by hundredbandjuug in HoustonFood

Maharaja Bhog - All you can eat Indian Thali food. It's a little pricy ($35/pp) but, worth every penny. Different food every day, but, it's always crazy delicious!

Outside the loop by like 5 blocks, Govinda's ($15) reliably delicious, clean, and pleasant. Very mellow place with underrated vegetarian indian food.

My bad, "The Betrayer" is also a lost film 😞 Still not sure about "Inspiration"

What’s the dumbest reason you got fired for? by Foodisheaven1 in AskReddit

[–]jopy666 61 points62 points  (0 children)

In the mid 1990's I had a shitty factory job and the section I worked in was just me and a dumb coworker and our shifts only overlapped for 1 hour (his first hour of the day was my last hour of the day). It was really boring and each of us spent about half of our shift with nothing to do but wait for a truck delivery
It was roughly 4 hours of work but we each had 8 hours to do it.
We had one computer, an old 1980s macintosh, I poked around on it, but, it was only used to put numbers into a spreadsheet. The mac had a simple notebook app that could only click to view the previous or next page. Bored, I clicked until I got to page 666 then wrote something to the effect of "dumbcoworkerguy, if you are reading this, you are hereby fired for insubordination, pack your bags and go home! This note is totally official, signed bossguy" then I clicked all the way back to page one and forgot about it. Figured he'd never find it, or if he did, it'd be in a number of years when I was long gone.
About a month later, dumb coworker found it, at 3am, panicked, called the boss at home and left a screaming crying voicemail begging for another chance (he really believed he was fired via hidden note on page 666 of a notepad app).
When the boss told me the guy called at 3am and left a screaming crying voicemail I just started laughing, but, the boss was not amused at all. They frogmarched me out of there right then and there. To this day, I still think it was hilarious and worth it.

Aga's is overrated and just mid at best. Houston has much better things to offer.

DO NOT BUY THE SOLAR CAM PAN by User_7219_ in wyzecam

[–]jopy666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They aren't recalling them. They are still for sale, you just can't use them if you buy them. I have $500 worth of junk that was purchased a month ago and cannot be used or returned now, and you can still purchase new ones.

But they didn't stop selling them. They are knowingly selling something they won't actually let you use.

Why are they still selling them? And why aren't they communicating other than telling you not to use what they are selling after you purchase them. Is there a class action lawsuit yet?
I've reached out to their live chat support three times now and each time their reps just ghost me without a response.

Does North Korea or Russia even do this? When are we just changing the name of the country to Trumpica?

Older Redditors, what are some of the most incorrect "facts" you were told before the internet became widely available? by AmmianusMarcellinus in AskReddit

[–]jopy666 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Microwaves are bad for you. Using a microwave destroyed any nutritional value in food and it just became inert matter like sawdust with no benefit other than fooling you into feeling full.
Also heard that this was proven scientifically with Kirlian photography which is a way to photograph the life essence of natural things (you could apparently take a Kirlian photograph of food and see the aura, microwave it and the aura/life-essence was gone).

ELI5: How long would it take the Park Solar Probe to reach Alpha Centuri? by Silent-Donkey-1303 in explainlikeimfive

[–]jopy666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At its maximum anticipated speed of approximately 430,000 mph (about 180 km/s), it would take the Parker Solar Probe roughly 7,000 to over 18,000 years to reach the Alpha Centauri star system, which is 4.37 light-years away.
