I Don’t Know Why Women Keep Laughing at Me When I’m Out Driving my Tesla Cybertruck
  • I have a hearty chuckle every time I see one of these things. Like spinner wheels, they're functionless wastes of money to make a statement, and that statement is "I am incredibly, just absolutely unbelievably stupid."

  • Robert Sparks Industries
  • The danger isn't in rupturing a tank, doofus.

    The danger is an unknown leak from one or more tanks releasing enough gas to provide a cloud of ignitable mixture.

    It's the same reason you're supposed to turn your car off when fueling. A spark exiting your tailpipe is unlikely, but not impossible, and gasoline vapors near the ground could be ignited.

    If you think that sounds ridiculous, check this video.

    Gasoline vapors were ignited from a static spark by tugging on a sweater.

  • James S.A. Corey explains how The Captive's War is different from The Expanse
  • It's not. It's really super not like mass effect at all.

    I just finished it. It's more like a story following the interpersonal dramas of a community of jews during the holocaust, with aliens in place of nazis.

    It also feels like an extended set up for the real story to begin later.

  • Is there a way to get this without a potion of levitation?
  • Potion of storm clouds or aqua brew... Both made from levitation potion.

    You can put thrown weapons in an alchemy pot to make liquid metal, then put liquid metal in to make telekinetic grab spells.

    A couple of swiftthistle plants should let you walk on the trap, pick up the armor, then get around a corner before the trap goes off.

    Used to be able to use disarming stones but Evan hated bomb ID so bad he fucked other things up to "fix" it.

  • California's fast food minimum wage hike didn't cost jobs, study says
  • No they are.

    FLC < 50% was the rule of thumb at restaurants I had management positions at. Food and labor cost combined needed to be less than half of gross revenue to be profitable. Fixed and variable costs like rent and utilites cut into proceeds as well, but were less easily controlled by the store staff.

    I saw the quarterly reports for a fairly busy domino's pizza in the early aughts when minimum wage was $7.25, and net. Profit was in the range of a few hundreds of dollars a week, less than my own paycheck, and the store was considered to be doing well. The franchise owner had fourteen locations.

  • Workers unite
  • They're there to justify their own paychecks by implementing new policies when current practices are already adequate, in order to show that they're "doing something", which is how you end up with a dogfood warehouse in rural Nebraska that has no overhead or projectile hazards requiring third party truck drivers to wear hard hats and safety glasses inside the cabs of their own trucks when on the property.

  • Terminology question
  • Generally, Proof Of Delivery(POD) is any kind of document that has a receiver's signature in acceptance of delivery.

    Bill of Lading(BOL, example) is used when something is transported under hire, describing terms for transport. The manifest would be a list attached to the BOL. A BOL signed by the receiver or consignee serves as proof of delivery.

    Delivery Receipt (example) is a document to show when and where something was delivered. May or may not be POD.
