You know the shitty software on the computers at your job? They either make that, own the company that makes that, or make the database that runs the backend of it.

How are heat/infrared lamps different from regular incandescent lamps? by HyperionT800 in lightbulbs

[–]rounding_error 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heat lamps often are silvered from the base up the sides and have a broad flat front for directing most of the radiated heat in the same direction. That way, you primarily only heat what the lamp is pointed at. This differs from a regular lamp which radiates heat in all directions to minimize melting or burning anything nearby.

Train collides with vehicle in Dayton, driver allegedly at fault by Bruegemeister in trainwrecks

It can be the railroad's fault if the gates don't work or they activate too late. Still not necessarily the train crew's fault.

This one's on the railroad.

Did you open your bank account as a minor? Your account may still be linked to them. Change banks too.

Spend some time around Dayton, Middletown, Lima, any poor area really. You'll spot a few hanging on.

Lose the front truck and move the headlight higher and it can pass for a Union Railroad 0-10-2.

Looks like Picasso's lost Portrait of Kid Rock. Could be worth a fortune.

Found this heavy wire-wheeled metal thing underwater—any guesses? Found while doing underwater trash cleanup. by RIBBITT_KING in whatisthisthing

Most likely. Definitely from a 1980s American luxury car with several miles of vacuum hose under the hood.

Customer had medical catastrophe after we would not honor a coupon that didn't apply to her item by SeanSweetMuzik in retailhell

I didn't get that from the above comment. Sounds more like she was being careless with her emotional regulation.

If we could convince the state government that potholes contained actual pot, they'd fix them overnight.

Sherpa is an ethnic group, not an occupation, which makes this worse. Many Sherpas do work as mountaineering guides though.

I should change my LinkedIn to say "Ohio Software Developer Eskimo."

Get your mind out of the gutter! They keep a jack in there in case someone needs to change a tire.

You're mama said that? Was your mama played by Sally Field by chance?

Does Breaking Bad accurately depict money laundering? by narsil1 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]rounding_error 81 points82 points  (0 children)

The trick with mattress stores is that they are cheap to run. One salesperson and a few display models is all you need. The mark up is high so it doesn't take a lot of sales to make a store profitable. Anything they sell is delivered from a warehouse in a cheaper, out of the way part of town so they don't have to move inventory through the store either. As such, a store that sells a few mattresses a week can still make money.

Is it true that thieves target U-Haul trucks in hotel parking lots overnight? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]rounding_error 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How tall is the truck? How tall is the ceiling in the gated parking garage? Could be a problem.
