  • Then they aren’t a good fit for the position. They need to be moved somewhere they are a better fit or terminated

    As I said in another response, not only is yelling a great way to make the workplace hostile for everyone in the general vicinity but it’s also not a particularly effective way to deal with conflict

    There are countless better methods to deal with a problem.

  • I'm sorry but if I work somewhere and find out that a coworker nearly killed me after being politely told not to a half dozen times, I'm going to be furious.

    Okay?

    I have worked on manufacturing floors and egregious safety violations are an immediately fireable offense. Minor violations get one or two serious talks followed by…. Once again, termination. Someone who can’t be bothered to follow safety protocols shouldn’t remain on the floor.

    Yelling at people is not only a great way to make for a hostile workplace for everyone in the general vicinity, its also not a particularly effective way to deal with the problem.

  • Or, you know, you handle it like a healthy, well adjusted, adult with anger management skills. That’s also an option.

    If someone can’t handle mistakes being made without screaming, they have no business being in management and need to spend a little more time in therapy.

  • I couldn’t care less about this actor. Don’t even know who he is.

    That said, yelling at people you work with is never appropriate man. That’s verbal abuse and “they screwed up” is not an excuse. As the power differential grows between two coworkers, it becomes even less acceptable.

  • I went on a first date with a girl who ordered a slice of “big Mac” cheeseburger pizza with McDonald’s secret sauce and American cheese

    She wanted me to try a bite. I did. It was terrible. She loved it

    No accounting for taste, I guess

  • Yup

    I think the most under appreciated aspect is that ink can dry out just from sitting around. A lot of the time and “empty” ink cartridge just evaporated off its solvents

    Toner lasts forever. Perfect for occasional use

  • The key is to buy a brother laser printer

    It’s black and white but most people rarely have a need for color. Meanwhile, the toner doesn’t dry out like an inkjet printer will

    You buy that one $150 inkjet printer and you’re set.

  • Simplicity and precision.

    Who said it was only measured as an integer? Seconds are a decimal value and many timekeeping applications require higher precision than to the millisecond. Referencing an epoch closer to our current time allows greater precision with a single double-precision floating point number.

    Want to reference something before J2000? Use a negative number.

    It’s independent of earth rotation, so no need to consider leap second updates either unless you are converting to UTC. It’s an absolute measure of time elapsed.

  • There is a very reasonable explanation for this: If we are a topic of research for them, they could have simply stopped studying us in the same way

    Take our own science for example. We pull out of studies when the funding dries up. Maybe the aliens’ government grant ran out. Or, perhaps they have a policy of avoiding interference with the subjects. They could have changed methodology in response to the threat of high resolution recording equipment

  • Have you never heard of tunes?

    Any idiot can make substantial software changes to almost any modern car with easily available inexpensive hardware. Look up Cobb, ECUtek, openflashtablet, Hondata, etc

    You literally just plug it into a port and flash the software

  • I spent most of my 20s doing grassroots campaigning, with a large part of it being protest planning and organization. You generally do not need a permit to conduct protests on public property, even large ones, in the USA.

    The exceptions are very specific; i.e. blocking roads may require a permit.

  • Businesses seeing a drop in revenue as a result of a random patchwork organized online effort for a temporary boycott won't have any effect?

    No it won’t. This just means people buy the stuff the another day and is absolutely meaningless to their bottom line

  • Absolutely.

    I lived a lot like this during the 2008 recession. I was always looking for work, but there was none to be had. So we spent all day watching arthouse DVDs from the library, having sex, cooking, making art, and talking philosophy in our 250 square foot apartment. At times, it was truly beautiful.

    However, there came a time after a year or so where the money really ran out and we got evicted. The relationship imploded and it all went to shit.

    My takeaway is that, for long term happiness, stability is important too.

  • The natural lifecycle of the Jedi Master is to retire on some remote planet to become a depressed asshole hermit, just as Yoda did before.

    To me, The Last Jedi rejects the constant stream of fan service in most new Star Wars films to return to the roots of the series. IMO, it’s by far the best of the sequel movies.

  • A well made pour over will be every bit as “good” as a well made espresso. It’s also way less demanding in terms of equipment and technique.

    Making an espresso on par with the best coffee shops requires a great deal of skill/experience and thousands of dollars in equipment. If you don’t have the skill or equipment, straight espresso is usually pretty disgusting.

    You can make a phenomenal pour over with a YouTube video and $150 in gear.

    However, they’re different styles of drinks. A pour over is much less concentrated and doesn’t have the crema/body of espresso.
