Didn’t McDonald’s do orange slices instead of apple in the happy meals for a bit?
- Comment on New Law - every sports trophy needs to be a cup so teams can celebrate by drinking beer out of it immediately upon winning it 1 week ago:
Just bring some ducttape and tape the beer to it.

Just use a random number and pretend you’re a listed company.

Covered car parks usually have some allowances, but as seen, it’ll still rust from the humidity regardless.

You kinda still need to protect them from the elements, they’re supposed to be covered to prevent water and dust egress.

The USA would need to stop being prudes, then the rest of the world can continue being normal.

Different frequency and patters provide different results.
- Comment on The bosses are never going to just hand workers a 32 hour workweek. 3 weeks ago:
ends up with exactly this kind of “six guys staring at a hole in the ground while one guy works” dynamic - because corporate only delegated one shovel for six people, to save money.
Nope.
Each one has their role, and can’t start till the one before is done. But it’s too difficult to coordinate and people don’t like sitting around at home not being paid. So they just pay everyone to stand around.
It’s why union jobs cost 10x as much as private, and do the exact same job.
- Comment on The bosses are never going to just hand workers a 32 hour workweek. 3 weeks ago:
Right, but they handle the full shift of their duties in that time, and get their REST after. They get no breaks.
Thank you, that’s a union job, makes my point quite well, other tradesman would be canned for doing that. They can go a full shift without breaks.

I think it’s unreasonable to call it “wasted”. Like telling a pro-athlete “if you’re not running the ball continuously for every minute of the game you’re wasting your potential”.
Marathon runners take no breaks. If you’re requireing constant breaks due to mental fatigue, like any other muscle training and work it.
How do you think tradesman handle working 8 hour shifts with only a 30 minute break? They’re constantly on their feet, being physical, they are also doing calculations, looking around at their surroundings in case something is wrong or going to happen.
So yes, it is in fact wasted.

It’s not a joke, there’s be studies done that prove it. Its closer to 50/50 iirc though.

I’ve seen unions in plants reinstate workers and remove machines because it reduced labor.
- Comment on Traffic cameras have caught a white RAM 1500 pickup truck driving above the speed limit or running red lights more than 547 times since 2022. It belongs to an NYPD cop. 5 weeks ago:
Your friend can be driving the vehicle, they know the vehicle sped, but not who was actually driving. So demerits aren’t issued.

And the other user is being a massive moron, you want to defend that? Lmfao.

The only one making a big deal out of anything is you.
You already had your answer from other comments at the point I replied
And yet you felt the need to open your mouth? Why? All you’ve done is make a fool of yourself.

Time isn’t the only factor, water may not be available, if it’s a colder place, you need to keep it heated all day while you work. Dry bonded concrete works, if you’re replacing all the posts, it doesn’t sound like it’s only because a few failed, because you would just replace those ones.
- Comment on She is a "working girl" after all 1 month ago:
For us it’s water access, and not every farmers fence needs concrete either.
- Comment on She is a "working girl" after all 1 month ago:
As someone who’s done the same, eh, you have the machine anyways, and maybe you live in a drier place? Because they more or less come out in a single chunk, or if not, soft enough that the auger won’t shirk at it.
We have pretty clay forward soil, so you can even just back fill and tamp it with the dirt you took out. Frost fucks with everything anyways.

If it takes less than an hour you’re doing pretty good for an hourly rate.
- Comment on She is a "working girl" after all 1 month ago:
10 years of my life summed up in a phrase. We didn’t only do concrete, but my crew was the best at it so we had any of the jobs that came up.
- Comment on She is a "working girl" after all 1 month ago:
You don’t pour concrete, you place it.
- Comment on That's how the world works. 2 months ago:
but technically you could be talk about a Canadian or a Brazilian.
No, that would be a North American or Canadian. You always covered this yourself.
Give your head a shake and get lost.
- Comment on That's how the world works. 2 months ago:
The whole world used that term, since the other countries are covered by other terms, or other encompassing terms like I explained already.
- Comment on That's how the world works. 2 months ago:
Why? You have North Americans and South Americans to cover the others?
What else would you need to include in the term Americans?
- Comment on Now this is an interesting question. What sound would you like it to make? 2 months ago:
Yeah! That’s the one.

What show/cartoon, I want to say Futurama, had a bit where everyone in a suit of armor made a pinging sound when checking a dime out, but the gay person who said ding to not out themselves?

Most likely the customer or some random person adjusted the valves. A job like this wouldn’t be signed off on, even a bad plumber wouldn’t do this… fucking lol.
