My first job was in a grocery store deli, and let me tell you that is the worst job to have if your mental health sucks. My last few months there were spent hoping to get hit by a bus so I didn’t have to go to work. My last two weeks were the worst two weeks of my life. The customers I dealt with were some of the meanest people I’ve ever interacted with, all over a $7 bag of gross fried chicken and pasta salad.
This was a several years ago, I have since gotten a job in IT that doesn’t make me want to die, but this reminded me of one of few funny stories from my time in the deli:
Remember that They are incapable of reading signs in human languages.
We had a Lemon Capellini salad available. Capellini. Big sign in front of it, can’t miss it. Pronounced exactly how it looks. Capellini.
More than half of the people who ordered it could not say that word. A lot of people would stumble through the first two syllables and give up. Some people would throw in some extra letters and create a new word on the spot. Most people avoided saying the word entirely (“lemon salad”). At least one person asked for “lemon speghetti,” and I think I had two or three people ask me how it’s pronounced.
Capellini.
Well now I want a story about an ace cowboy woman
This is a topic people get really defensive about and I’ve never understood why. If you look at a discussion thread about the oil industry, everyone is in agreement that the world needs to reduce its dependency on oil and people seem open to changing their own habits to help with that (to an extent and where possible). Same with energy generation, most people are happy that solar and wind power generation is becoming more widely used, and even opinions on nuclear energy plants seem to be shifting to a more positive light.
And then there’s the meat industry, awful from a moral standpoint and detrimental from an environmental sustainability standpoint, and this is the topic where people are suddenly “wElL tOO bAd I’M sTiLL EaTiNg sTEak EveRY dAY.”
I do not get it. Like I’m not vegan, but I’ve still cut out almost all meat from my diet and will happily try out or switch to totally vegan options when possible. Vegans are right about this, even of some of them are assholes about it. I’m not going to defend my non-vegan choices in my diet, sometimes I’m just lazy, but I still try to be better because it’s the right thing to do.
Genuinely curious why this topic riles people up so much if anyone has an answer.
Fallout New Vegas is one of those games that I wish I liked but just don’t. It’s hard to get invested in the story or world with weapons and movement that lifeless (maybe the wrong word, can’t think of a better description. Robotic? Stiff? Like you and your guns are made out of cardboard? You get the idea).
Are there any must-have mods that improve the gameplay that I’m just totally out of the loop on?
108·3 months agoWhen I was a kid, for some reason I really wanted coal for Christmas and I was diappointed that only the bad kids got it. My parents decided to mess with me one year by hiding all my actual presents and only putting a piece of coal in my stocking. I was thrilled and thought it was so cool. I have no idea why I thought it was cool, I was a weird kid. My parents gave up on the joke before I even realized that none of the presents under the tree had my name on them. I was entirely happy with the piece of coal.
Ironically, it’s become one of my favorite Christmas memories and it’s one of few presents I still have as an adult.

Both are not good, but man GT is boring as hell the entire way through. I tried rewatching it recently and just gave up after the Super 17 arc. At least Super has some genuine highlights between the trash.
However, as an animation nerd, Super was consistently interesting on that front. From melting in the first two arcs to having a really healthy production schedule for the last two. That momentum seemed to carry right into One Piece once DBS ended.
Like goddamn, Shida, Tate, and Takahashi went so hard every time they animated on an episode.

I think this would be fine if it’s just a matter of discharging static electricity. If static is building up on your body, touching the car frame will redistribute that energy across both yourself and the car frame. By that point, there’s not enough potential energy in your body to damage whatever electronics you’re working on.
Also, if you happen to be working on computers, they’re pretty damn resistant to static shocks. Better safe than sorry of course, but it’s hard to kill a computer with static. ElectroBoom and LTT made a pretty good video about that a while back.
Things are slowly improving, but public chargers do kinda suck right now. There’s an app called PlugShare that you can download which lets you see reviews for all chargers in your area. It’s saved some headaches a few times cause I can just avoid chargers with bad ratings.

I know they’re probably joking, but the Steam forums are so generally unhinged that I wouldn’t be surprised if this person is serious.

I don’t disagree with that. I have a Bolt EV, which isn’t fast (0-60 in 6.7s) but it has that instant acceleration at any speed that has quickly gotten me further away from sketchy drivers or situations more than a few times.
There’s probably something of a bell curve of safety going from super slow to super fast, lol
It probably doesn’t need that much power, but speed is fun and the extra torque can be useful.
The new Rimac Nevera (an EV hypercar) has over 1800 HP.
Spoons won’t spark, you gotta use aluminum foil instead for best results.
It feels like most Lemmy/Kbin communities skew towards having a lot of CS people. Makes sense considering what kind of people would be interested in using the fediverse over traditional social media sites though.
I love all you fellow nerds <3
