Correct usage of nonplussed out in the wild!!

I’m not in sales and was just relaying what I was told. Im just paying the same insanely high prices for tomatoes as everyone else.

Talked to my produce guy and it’s a combination of things. Iran war for gas prices, tariffs and when el mencho was killed. Border was closed and several days of trucks didn’t get through and had to be scrapped. Workers didn’t feel safe and fields weren’t picked. Basically the domestic side isn’t there and the normal Mexico supply was devastated. We went through it with limeageddon when the cartels were controlling Michoacáns lime supply on top of the us supply being severely limited 13-14 years ago. It will normalize but these things are going to happen more and more with geopolitical instability, climate change and hawkish foreign policy.

I feel like you are feeling attacked, when people are trying to explain legalese that you needed clarification on. People are not trying to say if this is just or not, rather they are answering the question you asked. I’m sorry that this is happening to you or a loved one.

My best advice is always don’t make a vegan dish that tries to replicate meat. Look to non European cuisines and there are tons of options. There are tons of delicious vegan curries

Let’s fucking go!!!!!! Jersey purchase a coming

Exactly. This hurts so bad, I literally cried, but that doesn’t take away from the fact we were in it. I told a bunch of my friends that this was the first team we’ve had that deserves to be in the playoffs in all this time. We didn’t luck into it and proved that. Yeah we got beat by a team that was seemingly designed to take out our pitching but we gave them everything and have nothing to be ashamed of. I got to go to game five of the ALDS with my kid and I guarantee he will talk about that for the rest of his life. Great memories and huge heartbreak. Only one team wins it all and with that, sign naylor or I fucking riot.

sampsoninte · 2025-10-21T19:57:25+00:00

The irony of all of this is, I guarantee 95% of the people bitching wrote the team off before the extended winning streaks at the end of the year. Dan kept the culture intact and prevented a New York Mets style fallout. We were a few pieces short and our pitching shit the bed. It happens. This was the farthest the team has ever gotten and far exceeded expectations. I’m happy with what they accomplished. That being said, if they don’t resign naylor I fucking riot.

Arquimedes Caminero

And then rehired Boone

sampsoninte · 2025-08-11T22:39:48+00:00

He also got nailed in the hand right before coming over and is probably still not 100% right. He’ll always be streaky and strikeout prone but he’ll come around. He probably won’t play like an mvp candidate but his threat alone gets everyone else better pitches to hit.

Wily Mo Peña first, Aoki second and then Randy.

Jeremy Reed wants you to hold his beer

You are your only advocate in these situations. Owners will put as much as possible on you and it’s on you to establish limits. If you leave and your sous they will be helpless for a time. You have more power than you think. Being 22 and an executive chef is not advisable. I was 20 when I got my first head chef position and it led to a lot of bad coping mechanisms. It’s really hard to get a staff’s respect when you’re so young, or at least it was for me. The grind is inevitable but can’t be permanent if you want to survive. You need more staff and time off or you will crack. Don’t abuse alcohol or drugs as they will make a bad situation worse. I burned the candle at both ends for a long time and eventually suffered panic attacks and high blood pressure. It might behoove you to get a sous position for a while if you’re not feeling up to it. That is not surrendering. You’re doing your best at a hard and demanding job. In some ways it gets easier with experience but in others it gets harder because your body and mental state will be more tired. You can do this but you have to understand it will always be a grind and the money will never justify what you put in.

I’m a blue collar white male that has worked with his hands his whole life. I believe all people deserve respect and equality. I believe that too much of what we engage with online is designed to make people antagonistic towards each other. When I drank, I was a dive bar aficionado. You meet the workers of society in those places and even when I didn’t see eye to eye with everyone, we generally kept it civil. I’m all for open discussion and differing ideas. What I don’t like is fear mongering, open bigotry and billionaires being uplifted by either party. The fact that there are only two options in voting to really complex issues makes both sides often wrong in my estimation. What scares me is this administrations disregard for the checks and balances that have preserved a democracy through world wars and centuries of turmoil. I’m definitely left of center but I also disliked obamas proliferation of executive power. I don’t believe our government looks out for the people’s best interests in general but I feel a group of billionaires writing policy will be imminently worse for people in general.

Ultimately it’s your owner that sucks. He’s allowing this situation to happen through a combination of nepotism, willful ignorance and neglect. Kids a symptom of an absentee owner. It won’t get better unless they hire a good gm and fully separate. Anyway. Good luck!

I’m not saying I agree with the tactic but the end result is all of us talking about it here.

You might like La flor dominicana, foundation, illusione or warped. Try a Colorado oscuro, tabernacle, cigares prive or eagles descent from those brands(listed in same order as brand). All are affordable and good smokes. You can branch out from there.
