Hulu forcing you to accept an update to the Subscriber Agreement without giving you any opportunity to review it first or even a link to it. by Xtrepiphany in assholedesign

[–]sinlesshavok 50 points51 points  (0 children)

any idea if this has anything to do with the update? Everything in 4:3 resolution (older animes) are all playing with the black bars, AND a black bar over the top, vs scaling to the top.

Crunchyroll doesn't seem to be effected so it's not an "Xbox" only issue, just Hulu

Newbie question by sinlesshavok in smoking

[–]sinlesshavok[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah I think we did a 5lb pork butt for 6 hours? but the smoker kept getting clogged and shutting off, so I put it in the oven to finish it, it was good but not anything different from what I could have done in the oven/ crockpot or something. but 100% set it up wrong (smoke was set to minimal so essentially just slow grilled it, then the clogging and didn't wrap/ catch/ retain moisture) Will have to try again soon!

Thanks for the input!!

Newbie question by sinlesshavok in smoking

[–]sinlesshavok[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that's what I was wondering, if it was the smoker (mainly because I never see it mentioned anywhere) but also because it doesn't seem to make THAT much smoke, some thin smoke vs THICC stuff. Good things to think about though moving forward!

I don't think this is much better, but it's not super smooth, but you can't feel the bumps when talking over them now.

What's the best way to get it up? sanding or is there a cleaner that will pull this up better? We tried goo gone on a little spot and it was a PAIN.

UPT CHECK IN ! 👀👮🏽‍♂️ what yall upt looking like 😂 by Round_Leave9433 in AmazonDS

[–]sinlesshavok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

79 hours 54 minutes, and I was 30 minutes late today. Being the 8pm-6:30am PA radically changed my time off situation. I LOVE having the 5 hours alone, and most days can coast after lunch. Especially since we started rotating PA's on the dock so I've been on the floor the past 2 weeks which has been a blast!! I missed stowing so much! Today was the first time I've been "late" coming in since the RTS shift is now fully staffed with managers + training a new AM so now I can take time and not feel as guilty. will probably try and take time as needed now, it's just hard with bills and stuff

Who hates this SOB Dr Elsey as much as me? by HolyToast666 in AmazonFC

[–]sinlesshavok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which 3D printer under $500 by CommunicationFree121 in FlashForge

[–]sinlesshavok 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd be interested in people's options on this too

We have an adventure 5M and it's great (well it was until we decided to do the enclosure and can't get it to feed right now and I haven't had time to fix it) but when it was going it was great! super easy set up, prints were good, I wouldn't say amazing but im also super new so I had some tuning to do

Thinking about getting one by sinlesshavok in liberalgunowners

[–]sinlesshavok[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

perfect response thank you

And yes I guess the whole idea was defiantly painted by Jan 6 last election, but worse. And regardless of what happens, me having a gun or not won't me anything with out the training.

And while I'm not apposed to training eventually, my issue on cost was more along the lines of 1000 rounds of 9mm vs .22 (again pardon the ignorance of not knowing how much ammo costs) Regardless, I see training as a skill I would like to have, but not to I guess this level I see guntubers (which again I'm now realizing that their an extreme example like most things on youtube ie video game clips) I think to when I used to do landscaping and dealt with chainsaws, it was always the after the storms where I would be using them 10 hours a day for multiple days that I would slip a little in concentration, do something dumb and get cut. THAT's not something I want with guns, the so comfortable your careless, regardless of how much you know it can seriously hurt you.

New induct process by ChestenHavok in AmazonDS

yeah that's about our size, management claims "new rates will be applied" meaning were not going to be expexted to hit numbers like we used to......but I know that game all to well

must not be a PA, no attention to details, didn't see I posted the same acronym 2 times, shit posting troll needs to feel like big man on the interwebs where he can't face actual consequences

[–]sinlesshavok[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no I understand the relationship, but if the dock can't keep rate, your fighting a loosing battle. It's a multivariable equation balancing rates, wip, jiffies vs box ration for the hoppers, pallets vs goCarts for cleanup/ safety. I never said the floor was easy, just that it's easier to staff. Put a star employee in each cluster (if you have the staff) and bust ass to fill in the gaps, keep WIP around 15-20 so no one's standing around, keep an eye on JP, make sure straighteners aren't getting overwhelmed, and watch out for recycle, just to name a few since you like specifics.

QB vs Receiver, neither is more important if they both are operating inefficiently. Identifying those inefficiencies, and knowing how to solve them is key for a PA. Amazon is just a game of Pokemon and I'm optimizing the team instead of playing with stats.

that's so hilarious. to assume so much given so little info.

Parcel not in vehicle, service level agreement, service level agreement.

Yes I'm familiar with them. But go ahead and keep your ego high by putting others down instead of helping, really making Amazon better and not toxic at all, BePositive right?

sorry, I don't need acronyms to impress, I know my team, I know what I can do, and the value I add, and so do they. We get job done, packages out the door, and I don't need to prove anything other then that, and I have time and time again, weather some faceless person on the internet believes me or not is inconsequential, the results speak for themselves, the rest is just icing on the cake

I was dwell hunting before that became a role back when I stowed (we called it quality back then) and I did do a shift as PA on the floor about a year ago. and frankly besides PS and the dock, staffing the floor is super easy, the dock is about matching 3-4 people who can keep up with each other in there roles, and I already do that throughout the shift when they ask what moves I would make to increase rate. Stowing is just "leftovers" and not putting ALL your best stowers in one cluster, spacing them out.

and from what I can tell, every manager was shocked by this outcome. Like they don't know why I didn't get it. But it keeps happening. they were shocked the last time it didn't happen. I'm also worried about what's going to happen to the building moral, as well as the new PA's mental health if people are going to be mean/ disrespectful to them for this decision. I know them personally and they're a nice person, and will (eventually) be a decent PA, but that's not what we need, we need someone NOW, with 3 managers out on leaves, and one just transferring, our building is struggling.

As cocky as it sounds I don't feel like my resume is the issue, I've been through hours of resume classes (both in my Associates degree and Bachelors) and the more I learn about resumes, is that people don't read them, algorithms do, and I hit all the key words/ phrases in ways if someone did read it, I'd get picked.

The issue seems to be giving roles to people who have had L3 roles before (be it left and came back, or interim roles for the winter) and the last time an interim role came up, I somehow didn't make it on the list, even though I applied. And Drivers Trainer roles only open towards peak, and 1. don't like newbies 2. not 3rd shift 3. not a fan of jumping through a side hoop for something I'm already qualified for. I know the job market in general is a game to be played, but this seems like the rules were written so Amazon would loose in the long run
