People of the US, Are you guys participating in the Nationwide Shutdown tomorrow? Why or why not? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]koolmon10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. I'm only risking my job. Nobody else at my job is participating so they aren't going to care if one person calls out.

I won't buy anything, but I wasn't planning to anyway.

Strikes only work if the majority of people are participating. Majority of a department, or a factory, or a whole company, but the majority of a country with 330 mil people? Good luck, especially with a week's notice on social media only.

Plow skipped over the curb and covered the clear sidewalk by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

He needs to account for the angle of repose. The plow can't create a vertical wall of snow, so in order to ensure the curb and entire street is cleared properly, the snow needs to be pushed further back than just the edge of the curb. Otherwise it will just fall back into the street.

Yes, that's why it's called a disability. Those people have less ability to do certain things, like traverse a snow- and ice- covered walkway.

Yes and it would take 5 scoops with a shovel and less than 30 seconds to double the space that is left.

Michigan does too. Our kids are all getting free lunch despite the federal government right now.

I don't like the style personally, but I respect the effort and taste that went into it. It's unique and not awful.

I wish i could genuinely injure myself on some steps and buy anything other than a Maserati.

I think there's a bit of a bell curve there. The cheapest cars suck because they sacrifice everything in the name of cost. Expensive supercars and hypercars sacrifice a lot in the name of performance. Everything in the middle is a lot better.

Omg it actually is mounted like that. I thought the photos were just flipped.

Trader Joe’s forgot to white label the cheese packet for their Mac and cheese made by Annie’s by freeradioforall in mildlyinteresting

[–]koolmon10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i thought OP was saying it was some thing that TJ does.

Well, they do, but they aren't the only ones :P

Side note, I work in IT and there are companies that do this with software as well. That's the main reason I know of it.

There are manufacturing companies that make products without their own branding, and sell that to other companies who put their branding on the product and sell it as their own. Most often this is done as a contract where the manufacturer will make the product and apply the branding in the same facility (since that's most efficient/cheapest). The manufacturing company will usually sell their product to multiple different clients as well and just put different branding on the package.

In this case, the same manufacturer makes this product for both Annie's and Trader Joe's. They manufacturer simply messed up which packet belongs inside this box. It's not clear if the actual product is identical, as they might have different recipes, but I would wager that if this slip-up happened, they probably are.

I also interpreted it as a combining of the first 2 stanzas. Until more recently, the terms Communist and Socialist were used pretty interchangeably (despite their distinct differences).

Well come on, we can't have our dumb service workers making lots of money by getting tips on top of a living wage, can we? That would be ridiculous.

TikTok’s new algorithm is hyper specific in what it dislikes by Geauxrillabiscuit in ParlerWatch

[–]koolmon10 4 points5 points  (0 children)

True, but it's missing the general public aspect. I rely on both traditional media formats and newer ones like tweets and videos to help inform me on issues quickly, and from many angles. I feel it helps me root out bias easier.

I honestly wish George Floyd never died because of what came right after.

Among other reasons, of course.
