- Comment on I ordered my daughter a pizza, something I don't usually do. I got Domino's smallest size with two toppings. I got her cheese sticks and two sauces and tipped the driver 20%. $31.07. 5 months ago:
Also in Indiana. Pre-pandemic you could get two pizzas, bread sticks and a 2-liter of soda for that price.

Are they not unionized? If this problem is caused by unreasonably long hours doing unreasonably hard work with no paid vacation, as the article suggests, all of the “trying to solve this” bullshit coming out of employers’ PR departments isn’t going to do anything near as much as shorter hours, paid time off, more staff, longer project timelines, and job protections.

Thank you for the summary. I’ve removed my downvote for posting a video.

Well, yes, now that OP quit dancing around his vape pen use and provided a source, I see that.

Dude, you’re going off the rails…

Take off your tinfoil hat. Maybe set down the vape. Lying? I was responding to incomplete information. Not everything’s a conspiracy. This is an old law now being applied to new technology. Nothing infuriating about it.

That doesn’t mean the law says signatures are required. It could only be how the company chose to respond to the law. Got a citation?

Ok, buddy. There’s not any indication that’s even a law and not just policy from the company selling the device.

I mean, if enough vaporizers have to be re-shipped because they were stolen before they’re received, yes, of course. You’re not going to expect to pay a second time for something you never received. The insurance company (I assume this is medical use?) or the supplier doesn’t want to pay a second time. Of course they’re going to make you sign. It’s not a law to stop porch pirates, it a law to reduce costs.

Porch pirates.

What were your search terms? You want “blended families.”

No, shattered is better. I survive longer, anyway.

As a general rule I’d suggest always discussing this with your manager first
This is the absolute worst possible advice. Your letting all your coworkers know that you’re going to be adversarial about even the tiniest personal conflict, and that you can’t be trusted to resolve interpersonal issues like an adult.

I would start out more conciliatory. You want a positive outcome, right?
Hey Jane,. I really appreciate that you’re invested in my professional development. Working with you has taught me a lot. But I have my own way of processing and organizing my work. Would you mind if I did things my own way going forward?
Afterward document this conversation by sending it to yourself by email. Continue to document your repeated, polite, professional requests. If necessary, bring to your boss if the situation escalates. But it’s always best to try to work things out directly with your coworkers if you can, before bringing in management. You’re going to have to keep working together regardless.

The Avernum series, on Steam. There’s at least six.
- Comment on The end of landlords: the surprisingly simple solution to the UK housing crisis 8 months ago:
The yimby argument has always seemed flimsy. Its strange logic is that speculative developers would build homes in order to devalue them: that they would somehow act against their own interests by producing enough surplus homes to bring down the average price of land and housing. That would be surprisingly philanthropic behaviour.
It’s trickle-down economics applied to housing…
- Comment on Amazon pricing makes no sense. 11 months ago:
Right beneath the main listing, under “Frequently bought together” it was show with the $9 price instead of $20. Then, over in the right column, next to the main the listing, underneath the “add to cart button,” “add to lists” button and “X available from other sellers” (at the same price) was something like "one available at $9 from (whoever the seller is). I could have added it to my cart from there, but went and searched their storefront, 'cause I wanted to give you the direct link to the product.

A&E stands for Art & Entertainment. Before it was biographies it was cultural programming, like An Evening at the Improv, Breakfast with the Arts, and Live by Request (concerts). Same with Bravo, with fine arts and film.
