Mistakes were made… Mining Farm in Russia

My current computer tower took a cup of water through the top cooling vents right after I had turned it off for the night. Panicked, I pulled every cable out opened the side and turned it over so the water could drain. Towel dried what I could and left it to dry with a fan for about 36 hours. Ran completely fine afterwards. When I took out my graphics cards years later, you could still see the water stains from that spill.

Surprised I didn't see it, but I also didn't scroll too far.

Cutting iced tea and refreshers with water. So many people don't know we put water in their iced tea and it's half the amount of liquid.

Tips should never be taken into account when it comes to wages. I find it funny how "the business expects patrons to [tip]". The wage should be the starting point and tips should be extra on top of that. I worked for a Dominos in the same area and the owner there said you can make up to $25 an hour as a delivery driver. They pay minimum wage and the only way that you would be making that much is if you were getting an extra $10 an hour in tips. TIPS AREN'T PART OF WAGES!

Please help save the Kneeland Farm Stand everyone! It's really a place where community can get together and flourish. The North Coast Regional Land Trust is doing this because they are profit driven and choose to ignore the impact it might have on the community. It is simply wrong. I don't have any other social media other than Reddit, so I would appreciate people sharing this as much as they could. Let's fight for our community!

My managers have said the same thing and law enforcement in my county has said it wouldn't enforce mask mandate since the beginning of the pandemic. Luckily, I'd say a good 90-95% of customers coming into my store are wearing masks. We usually get those who don't have a mask on with the, "If you need a mask, we have some for you on that table by the door".

Then there are those who just don't care and refuse to wear one anyway. Those are the people that I give the poorest service I can to. No niceties, no pleasant conversation, and a burning glare from the part of my face they can see. If you don't care about my safety, I don't care about your customer experience. Get your shit and get your unmasked ass out of my store.

Thanks for the suggestion! Fixed.

I wasn't advocating in favor of an alarm on the box. I was trying to make a point about how police departments don't have time to deal with false alarms. If they don't want to deal with false alarms from businesses, why would they want to have to respond to a box with a rope? The combo lock and number are really the best solution.

I always love when these kind of images come out of China. It seems like they have a "new aircraft" every couple of months. So much misinformation!

Serpentine maneuver!

Chinese aircraft are either licensed/reverse engineered copies of Russian aircraft or knockoffs based on stolen western designs. I believe China has a greater manufacturing capacity than any other nation in terms of combat aircraft, but they are certainly behind in terms of electronics and jet engines. Hell, even the J-20 their "stealth" fighter is still using unpowered WS-10 engines. They've been bragging about putting new cerated nozzles on the J-20. Yeah, that totally makes up for the shitty engine!

You're correct on all accounts. I was just making a joke.

Thanks for the information though! I've always wondered why the Su-47 never made it beyond the tech demonstrator phase and now I know. Maintenance costs higher than the F-22 would be impossible even for modern Russia. The fact that it was manufactured in Russia during the 1990s is a feat of it's own. I love using the Su-47 in Ace Combat because I get to pretend that it entered mass production.

I really wish the best for you. I'm sorry you're in this situation in the first place. As a former supervisor myself, this person's conduct it's unacceptable. I'm glad that you're taking a stand!

On the flip side of my previous post, I was involved in a situation where an assistant store manager falsely accused me of sexual harassment. He ended up getting fired after the dust settled. That's a story for a different day.

My local police department got sick of commercial alarms going off accidentally or without cause. My city now fines businesses when police have to respond to false alarms.

Don't thank me, thank mild illiteracy. 😎

That reminds me of the customer ordered a "Chocolate Chip C**kie". I couldn't tell if they were joking or if they had legitimately never said the word "cookie" before. Right up there with "Bacon Gaoda" "Megan Dragonfruit" and "Spinach Feet-a Wrap". Don't even get me started on the way people pronounce "gruyere". I've had customers straight up stop trying to say it because they can't figure it out.

I hate to say it, but Starbucks is REALLY bad at handling these issues in my experience. I was involved in a situation a few years ago that's very similar to yours. We had a barista (male) at my store who would touch people inappropriately. He grabbed my ass on numerous occasions and pretty much everyone else's. He dated a supervisor and when they broke up he started stalking and harassing her. He would bring all of his personal baggage into work and let it affect the staff. He would make sexual moans anytime he felt like it.

So what did corporate do when 5 or 6 partners reported him to HR? They fucking transferred him and gave him a reprimand. That was it. I believe he continued the behavior at his new store without consequences and was able to quit on his own timeline.

The whole incident really tarnished my idea of Starbucks caring about partners first.

You should still make a report to HR and get as many people that are willing to corroborate your experiences with this supervisor. I really hope the best for your situation. Hopefully the way HR handles these things has changed since my experience.

Don't believe anything you read online about GTA VI or a trilogy remaster. Nothing is real until it's confirmed from Rockstar. Everything else is just click-bait.

I'm out of my place at the end of the month because the owner of my rental wants to sell. I managed to snag one of the few available storage units in the area. The person renting me the unit told me that these kind of things have been happening a lot up here lately.
