Work for a Fortune 500, ~$100b company. Still understaffed. The greed never ceases.

I think Mongolia is missing a label

While I’ve subscribed to this philosophy for decades at this point, there is a possible issue that was really hammered home by COVID -

there will be a non-zero number of people who will be even shittier because “I had to ensure endure it, so they should, too!”

This is essentially the same as in the US. But one question

When you bring it back, you scan the book again and leave it on the shelf by the returns scanner. Because the book was removed from the inventory, it wont have a place on a shelf yet.

Do you not have a classification system that determines where a book should reside? US libraries (and others, I presume) use the Dewey Decimal System, which groups books into categories and such, and then finally alphabetically by author. So every book would have a general place to go, and then the specific place would be determined by the author’s last name.

Cool, but have you thought about using it for Tasker profiles?

DHS says 8 US citizens among 9 arrested

8 is not “among” 9!

My version of this has always been 30 days before the holiday, or the day after the previous holiday, whichever is less.

First day showed for…

Valentine’s Day? January 15th

Easter? March 18th - March 25th (since Easter can be between March 22nd and April 25th, but can’t encroach on St Patrick’s Day territory on March 17th)

Thanksgiving? November 1st

Christmas? November 25th - November 29th (Turkey Day ranges from Nov 22nd to Nov 28th)

I’m with you on New Year’s Day not being January 1st and instead being a non-day.

Anytime this topic comes up, I reshare this blog post. With things being “that bad” over a decade ago, I can’t imagine how much worse it’s gotten.

…he committed suicide. In a weird twist of fate, he overdosed on Tylenol.

OD’ing on Tylenol is a fucking terrible way to go.

Vague recollection of Rodney King & the LA Riots. After that would be the Northridge earthquake, because it woke me up.

Our patchwork of state laws makes it a clusterfuck. Also, even if employees should have protected time, it doesn’t prevent a shitty boss from using it as a pretext to fire you for something else that isn’t protected.

My woodshop class was before the sawstop came out. We had fairly open access to everything, but we just weren’t allowed to use the table saw. All cuts were done by the teacher.

I don’t know if any other machine comes close to a table saw for demanding my respect and full attention.

While not used nearly as often, a lathe can take a lot more than a finger.

Yeah, I typically use 1996 (unlikely to remember 9/11) to 2015 (in school for the pandemic).

Stephen Miller is a white supremacist.

We knew this, but the video is really well done and I just wanted to make sure it gets widely shared.

They desperately want people to riot so they have a “legitimate” reason to declare martial law, suspend more rights, cancel the elections, etc…
