  • Yea that’s I’ve seen a few with the classic low quality of cctv and it’s gnarly. Saw someone get splated under the rear of a forklift. She was being counter weight cause they were lifting too heavy of a load and the other person that was also a counter weight got off causing the forklift to start slanting, she tried holding on, got lifted and then fell and slid under the forklift as it came back down after dropping the load. Not pretty.



  • Someone mentioned it down the thread but I say non committal stuff like ‘I’ll have to sit on it’ ‘it be that way sometimes’ ‘that’s interesting’ ‘I don’t know much about that’ ‘not sure to be honest’ ‘oh yea?’ ‘I hear ya’ ‘if it makes them happy’ ‘that’s how some people like it’ ‘I haven’t looked into it’ ‘I haven’t considered it’ ‘that’s what I hear’

    It all depends on context but I use these replies to let them know I hear them without picking a side if that makes sense. It’s best to act like you aren’t sure or don’t know when they ask about stuff.

    Here’s an example from yesterday from the trump Biden debate.

    They asked me if I was gonna watch and I just said I don’t know maybe, I was gonna leave it at that but they kept trying to sports team for Trump and pushing me to answer what I thought about them sitting so close. I took that chance to say I don’t really talk about politics at work, all the while typing away and working. That seemed to work and they took the hint and stopped.

    It helps if you always act like you don’t know/aren’t sure about things.





  • Might be a bit dramatic. All sectors of industry are using more and more tech, we have more people in the workforce now that are tech literate than we did decades ago.

    These are random numbers to explain my point. Look at it this way, in the 90s maybe 20 percent of people knew how to use computers but 12 percent of those were truly tech savvy and knew the ins and out of using a pc.

    Now a days 90 percent of people know how to use a pc (regardless of the form it presents itself, be it pc, phone, tablet, etc) but only like 30 percent of them might be truly tech savvy.

    It’s still a step up from back then, and because of the nature of tech in industry there’s always gonna be plenty of people who know how to use pcs well and if there aren’t then that’s just more money for us who do know.




  • How hard/big would it be to just use one of those emp nukes that shut everything down? It would such from a knowledge perspective since so many things are stored online only but between human race annihilation and having to piece stuff together, it might be a viable option.






  • Yea that’s why I prefer vegetarian over vegan. A ton of the classic vegetarian dishes that are amazing rely on dairy and other animal products that aren’t directly meat. From simple things like quesadillas to sopes vegetarianos and enchiladas.

    It’s all about spices though, I’m dissaponted in that restaurant. Mole Poblano is quite literally all spices and chilis.

    Out of curiosity I googled vegetarian Mexican recipes and I’m a bit disappointed there was non of the classics that I cook on the top pages. It’s a lot of nuvegetarian recipes, which there’s nothing wrong with but they all seemed sorta samey.



  • Mole poblano enchiladas are really easy.

    If you live in a med to large city you should be able to find the Doña Maria Mole Poblano mix in your local grocery store, check their hispanic isle. It comes in a small glass container. If you live in a bigger city I recommend going to a Mexican grocery market and seeing what other brands they have, just pick whatever looks good to you can’t really go wrong and I wouldn’t worry about authenticity with this since there’s literally thousands of variations on Mexican Mole so it’s all authentic in its own way.

    OK after that ramble here’s a simple ingredients list.

    Main ingredients. Mole Poblano Queso fresco Corn tortillas Onion

    Red rice side dish. Rice Tomato paste Tomato bullion Onion Garlic

    Garnish/toppings. Onion Queso fresco Cilantro/coriander Sour cream Table cream Sliced onion

    With this list in mind you can go ahead and just browse through recipes online and check whatever has similar ingredients.

    You wanna prep the sauce first cause it takes a while on low heat to properly smooth out.

    The way my family always made them is you warm up the tortilla in a pan until it gets soft, you don’t want to over cook and have them get stiff. All it needs is a couple seconds on high.

    Then you chuck em into a smidge of hot oil in another pan, again for only a handful of seconds. 10 or so on each side should be fine depending on how hot the pan is, the key is to not overcook them and have them go stiff.

    The you dunk them in the Mole sauce, put them on a plate, add cheese and onion inside to taste and roll em up. Add the garnishes on top and you’re done.

    Tbh you could just warm up the tortillas in a pan and skip the oil part completely if you want it healthier. That’s just how my family always did it so that how I do them.

    For the red rice just check out Mexican red rice recipe with similar ingredients and you can’t go wrong.

    For a non vegetarian version you could also make them out of chicken breast instead. Personally I think just queso fresco is the best, I ommit the onion since I don’t like biting into raw onion but my family prefers it with.


  • Sorta related, I’ve talked about humans eating less meat and how vegetarians/vegans have the wrong approach. It’s usually the animal cruilty or eat healthier approach with them, I’ve been saying that to ease people into the vegetarian camp they need to not try to make it a thing.

    Baby steps, the way I go about it is I cook my friends delicious food and it just happens to be vegetarian. If you can get them to like a food and want the recipe it’s a win, one less meatless meal they’ll have occasionally. Rice and repeat and hopefully one day they’ll have a handful of meatless meals a week.

    I’m Mexican and we have a ton of flavorful vegetarian meals, my personally favorite dish is enchiladas de queso y mole poblano. Im not even vegetarian or vegan, I just decided one day that I should cut some meat out of my diet, after checking what I’m currently eating it turns out I already eat at least 6 meatless meals a week… All cause we just have a lot of really good vegetarian meals in my culture.
