• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do all American stores have greeters?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are two types.

  Greeters are typically someone staged at the door. They typically tend to be elderly, and often during Christmas season and sometimes longer. It serves two functions, being welcoming to customers and being a presence to thwart petty shoplifting. It obviously doesn’t stop someone committed but enough to make some think twice or choose a different exit.

  The second type is just your average floor employee. This has become less common over the years with modern systems cutting back hours and shifts during the day. Back in the 90’s in my previous experience, we were expected to great EVERY CUSTOMER with a smile and a few words. Even offer to guide them to what they’re looking for. There were secret shoppers testing or observing and you’re get reprimanded for not doing it. Most customers appreciated the gesture but every once in a while you would experience a power tripping Karen/Ken being awful.

  I only found out about this today from someone whose computer got bricked from trying to enable secure boot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the magic diet for no-wipe poops?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Fiber and good gut biome. It can take a while to correct if out of wack.

  Eat less frequently. OMAD or skip one meal. Also if you’re drinking a lot of water, supplement with electrolyte capsules (no Gatorade) to maintain optimal function. Reduce or eliminate snacking between meals.

  the large intestines absorbs water, electrolytes, and vitamins. It won’t function as well if your shits out of whack.

  Yeah but how much of that is up to code?

  What part would you share? The crispy outer edge, or soft chewy center?

  Y’all voted for them. This is what they’re doing.

  He was against it, which resulted in a lot of negative opinions about the bill and netting less votes because of it. It’s gone full Streisand effect.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Same. Except I kept getting email notifications from my stolen laptop that was asking for password reset for weeks. I had security software installed and it gave gps coordinates each time. Cops didn’t care. Don’t think they caught anybody but most likely had ties to sub contractors working on the property.

  Ty. The link forces the use of the app if it’s downloaded. Otherwise it opens via web (had to delete the app)

  Summary for non account holders?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Helldivers 2 and Palworld devs wish players understood that 'easy' additions and updates are sometimes really hard: 'That's half a year's work. That takes six months'⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Have to disagree. The war bonds have been some of the easiest to pay with in game currency compared to games like cod where their cod points feel next to worthless.

  If you are netting very few credits per hell dive, you may be playing with those that don’t need them or playing bots, or a newly released content. Farming on level 1 will often get you with like minded folk, especially before a war bonds release. Farming is quick when you realize you don’t have to extract, just abort to ship.

  Applesauce ice cream sounds foul.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do remote workers actually work? Yes, but they also shop and shower⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This article can be applied the same way to Office workers. No they’re not working 100% of the time. What’s a problem is if they’re exceedingly unavailable or underperforming at their job and affecting others.

  It’s a bowl cut with a part down the middle, so no.

  Not so much the first part. Home brewing is one of the easiest low cost for entry hobby.

  You’re eating them wrong obviously. Smash it with your fist, pour it out in a neat line, and snort it like you mean business. Bonus points if done in public.
