How timely of them.

TBH it sounds more like you are getting a little smug high off of a hypothetical situation with what would seem to be a caricature of a less educated, easily gulled person. Young Earthers can also enjoy Jurassic Park.

Wait you guys don’t shave your balls to keep them smooth as eggs at all times?

Be the change you want to see. I switched things up and took a job where I work to feed hungry people. It’s pretty great and I feel good about myself and what I do. I’m not gonna fix the whole world, but I am making a difference for those who I reach.

Food bank worker here: though we have no such deal, money with no restrictions on use is just about the best thing to donate. It lets us buy fresh staples that otherwise are hard to come by, like eggs, butter and milk, or seasonally appropriate things like turkeys or hams (we had a total of 3 turkeys donated before Thanksgiving so we purchased around 50).

Next best thing to donate is whole cases of shelf stable foods. Individual cans and boxes must be inspected for best by date, damage to the packaging and complete labels, which becomes time intensive when you have 15 55 gallon barrels full of cans from food drives. Whole cases give you 12 packages of the same thing, all good to go from the factory.

Time is also great, but usually more needed the rest of the year. We don’t let people volunteer at our outreach center during the holidays if they don’t volunteer year round, simply because the people who only show up on the holidays tend to be doing a sort of poverty tourism that we find a little distasteful. Also, fresh volunteers need training and things are simply too crazy around the holidays to deal with it. If anyone is interested in food bank work, please find somewhere to volunteer the rest of the year. Feeding people is extremely satisfying work and we do need help the other 11 months of the year.

Did you know that if you use Teflon pans in a house with pet birds they might die from the fumes? Since we historically used canaries to detect dangerous gasses in coal mines, might we take that as an indication that Teflon pans should not be used at all?

The scratched ones are bad and should not be used. Going forward you should ditch all your nonstick pans and buy cast iron or stainless steel.

Clothing shrink happens when fibers absorb water/warm up and the edges of their structure (cellulose strands in cotton, protein scales in wool) stand up more and become more likely to catch on their neighbors. When they do, the fibers lose their ability to move independently from each other. As this happens, more and more fibers catch, turning the agitation in your washer and dryer into a sort of ratchet that shrinks the dimensions of the fabric.

Cotton can be un-shrunk with constant pressure. Ever had 100% cotton jeans tighten up in the wash that feel great after a day of wearing them? They shrunk and then your body undid the shrink. Wool isn’t as forgiving - the aforementioned scales clamp down on each other when they cool and dry and are effectively impossible to get free from each other. Wool can be treated before it is knit or woven into cloth to prevent shrinking and make it safe for the wash. Treated wool usually has a trade name attached to it like Superwash or something similar.

Which is something anyone who needed psuedoephedrine but got phenylephrine could have told them decades ago.

I do exactly this for a job. Some stores give lots of good stuff, some treat us like a garbage company.

But you could swap whenever. Bad battery? Swap it.

The real difficulty is making the process work across multiple vehicles, making it safe and making it less of a pain than DC charging.

You can take it from my cold, slippery hands.

I worked with a Scott that was awful. He was on-call one weekend but didn’t feel like actually leaving the house when there was an emergency, so he called a new hire that was junior to him who he was not in a management position over and told him to go on-site. I was in a management position over the both of them, so when I learned he did it I made sure Scott took over four of the new hire’s on-call weekends once he was in the rotation. Fuck you Scott, don’t take advantage of new hires.

Scott later had a bit of very important of project work. He was a senior IT dude and the project called for senior-level knowledge. The motherfucker took the time that he was supposed to do the project work that I worked hard to carve out for him and just fucked off. Didn’t matter that I had coordinated a downtime window with multiple vendors, the client and the client’s clients, he just did not do the work. When asked why he didn’t he simply said “Oh, I’ll get to it.” I sent him the email chain where he had acknowledged the downtime window and asked how he would do that. He never got back to me, as he had been called into a meeting where he got fired for OTHER SHIT. Fuck you Scott, I’m the reason your unemployment insurance claim was rejected. The other managers didn’t want to fight it but when I brought up the on-call shenanigans they all got on board with giving you the finger.

Half your age, plus seven. If you’re 25 that’s 12.5+7=19.5. You’re good to go.
