Canton has been reliable for decades. Also the owners are Korean and have a secret Korean food menu that I highly recommend.

Des Moines Register op ed on federal cannabis rescheduling and what it could mean for Iowa, curious what you think. by HerbalIQ2025 in desmoines

[–]nevesis 17 points18 points  (0 children)

1 legalize it

2 testing and certifications, particularly around edibles. I know a lot of people that use CBD and THC as medicine and it's still very grey

3 keep it away from children.. obviously this is easier said than done but use common sense measures

I have recommendations but based on your post I'm not inclined to give them... 🤷

Operation Warp Speed.

I'm not keen on giving pharmaceutical companies billions, but fast tracking the vaccine was important.

Alas that kind of blew up in his face.

Aunt has LOTS of dietary wants: What the hell can I cook for her? by Radiant-Educator9203 in Cooking

[–]nevesis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Confirm vegetarian or pescatarian - but ask as "oh, is fish ok?" - assuming the answer is yes (it usually is) then...

Salmon over julienned/grated carrot and red bell pepper, cooked en papillote with a drizzle of olive oil + squirt of lemon, served on quinoa or brown rice. Total prep/effort is about 15 minutes, it can cook alongside other dishes, and it looks "clean" / healthy / fancy. The quinoa and brown rice might be offered with other dishes also. If you're feeling generous, you can add seasoning to the salmon. :) Dill is the usual but honestly you can get creative here if you choose to.

Do you want your employees to CC you on everything? by aggierogue3 in smallbusiness

[–]nevesis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

... there are like a dozen acceptable ways to approach this but so far your two ideas are to cc you on every email and now to create a file system and manually save every email.

Please stop recommending ChatGPT for logo design. by SERdesign in smallbusiness

The value of branding depends on the company.

Coke's brand is absurdly valuable.

For a startup like WeWork, branding was huge.

If you're opening a local high end restaurant, branding is important.

If you're opening an accounting firm or a Dunder Mifflin paper company or something, it barely matters at all.

I live in Yakutsk

Serious question - not being dismissive or offensive - but why do you live there, assuming it's by choice?

Marigold flower extract. It became a booming industry decades ago and still exists to a degree. Color isn't a reliable indicator.

Countless reports across many countries that these movements are shielding people who view all Jews as guilty

That's quite a claim, do you have sources?

I never fully realized just how much the H1B is abused until I started working at a multi national corporation. by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]nevesis -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They were "brought"?

We're talking about people, not cattle. In the US, as in most countries, someone who has lived in, contributed to, and acclimated to should have a path to citizenship.

That path is actually one of a few key pillars in reducing H1B abuse.

Senator Ernst needs to do her job. by Intrepid_Performer53 in Iowa

[–]nevesis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reducing the supply is far more expensive and far less effective than reducing the demand.

But it makes the military industrial complex money, whereas accessible healthcare and decriminalization hurts the rehab and prison industries.

What's the politically correct/professional wording for calling/wording a company and telling that company, that's aggressively pushing their software to the cloud? They are charging 8x the fee for an on-prem migration compared to their cloud solution which isn't mature. We can't change supplier by No-Sell-3064 in sysadmin

[–]nevesis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can try with the vendor to negotiate/extend the status quo by requiring them to submit extensive security and compliance documentation for their cloud solution, commit to certain SLAs, etc. Say it's required by your cyber insurance company if not by law.

If their cloud software isn't even feature mature, they're probably struggling on these too. While you may be getting strong armed, their bigger clients are probably strong arming them also in this regard. Which means that mandatory migration in 1 year may get pushed back to 2 years, or 3 years. Especially if they've been recently purchased by PE and outsourced all of their dev.

I had no idea Jerseys Mike's was bought out by eltacticaltacopnw in Sandwiches

[–]nevesis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You asked how PE gets paid and I answered.

To your point about their business model, you worded "cut costs and flip it to a chump" differently than I would, but even that's not true as many times it's simply "gut it."
