- Comment on How would you evaluate having more pay vs an easier job? 18 hours ago:
Without giving too many details, worked at a place as a professional for a long time. Terminated because someone didn't like me. Am still looking for a better job, fell back to a previous skillet at minimum wage in order to do something with myself, and it's so much better.
I know this isn't quite the situation you're referring to, but the right work environment with the right management goes a long way to having fulfillment at work.
That said, none of that costs any money. We're talking about policy, procedure, and culture change. I've been able to manage mentally as a wage slave by becoming more socialist This does not always align with what the company thinks it wants, but for minimum wage, I don't care. I am doing what's right by me, and that's a good feeling.

I went from 150K to minimum wage.
So much happier. I need to figure out finances, of course, but I am a better person now.

So... Sorry everyone.

- Comment on Why do tires have the width and diameter they do? 1 week ago:
I can speak to motorcycle tires.
Moto tires are rounded, not flat like car tires. They're designed to provide an optimal contact patch no matter the lean angle. Often, Moto tires won't be perfectly rounded, but come to a bit of a point in the middle. This makes for a smaller contact patch going straight, for better fuel economy, and a bigger one while turning for more traction. Finally, moto tires are often made of multiple kinds of rubber: harder in the center for lower rolling resistance, and longer tread life; softer on the sides for more traction while turning.
I'd bet that small bicycle tires share some of these characteristics, being rounded for sure, possibly others.

Pretty much. Except that there was zero plan about what was going to come out the other end. It was just "irradiate, plant, see what happens."

My favorite is the people who rail against GMOs. Bitch, every food you eat has been genetically modified by humans. Either by selective breeding over a long period of time, or what they used to do in the early 20th century: bomb seeds with radiation and see what came out, toss the weird stuff, keep the neat stuff.
Everything is GMO. What's being done now is actually safer than before, because they actually know what they're trying to create, and are far more surgical in the process.

That's fair, but it sounds like the dev reacted very badly. Could have all been avoided if they just said "Yeah, you're right. But I'm working with what I can, and I'd love to add Chinese. I want to do it right, and I'd love your suggestions."

The thing about old glass is that the manufacturing process was different and produced glass with variable thickness.

- Comment on If you work with food, how can you control yourself so you don’t eat it? 2 weeks ago:
They're may be something you don't know. Manager may have discovered that food is getting prepared so that it will come back to the kitchen and go in the bin, so that everyone can eat it. That's definitely stealing.
And manager knows it's not you, but still has to tell you anyway.

What if I told the man I murdered in '03 that I blasphemed my wife to my lawyer, and that's why I murdered him, to keep him from telling my priest?

I mean, there's nothing you can do about it besides prepare yourself to make the most difficult decisions a person can make. May as well shop for dog hats in the meantime.
