As a chef, he should know that specificity is important. We have to big bags that we put over racks of food to keep them insulated. He was working with those racks, so I thought that's what he meant. We have exactly two of them and they are located in dry storage. No, he wanted to go bags. We have like 5 different white plastic to go bags. I grab the biggest one... No he wanted ones with cardboard bottoms. We only have one set of to go bags with cardboard bottoms, and this fucker didn't lead off with that. Guess where it was. Not in dry storage.

for the dress thing 2 is a type of coat, 3 is a shirt, 4 looks like a sweater. 1 looks dress-like but is likely a frilly shirt. the trick i find is the bottom of the outfit, he needs to look for an overdesigned bottom for a dress. the boss thing is why i take pictures of products and send to mine with "which (desciptor used) did you mean" that got the point across well with mine.

5:20, From having previous experience from working with UPS in the past, we do really try to get the attention of the home owner. We generally wait for about a minute or two before writing that letter. What people don't know is that we don't get to choose when we clock off. We can only clock off when the truck is empty. Usually, these trucks hold more than 600 to 700 packages, if not more. With so much packages to deliver, with so many houses, we can't stay at someone's house for a long time. That is why we try to deliver a package, and then immediately move onto the next spot. It is even worse during the Christmas rush when I was working previously.

I feel like UPS must have better policies than FedEx, or maybe just function better in general. I usually don't have problems with UPS, but there are two FedEx distribution centers that deliver to my area, and one of them is run by a total idiot with lying idiot workers. They would regularly not even stop at my apartment complex but would claim they attempted delivery. I know it for a fact because a few times I got fed up with them and decided to wait outside on one of the benches in front of the building for them, and I would get a notification that a delivery attempt was made but no FedEx truck ever showed up. One of these times, they claimed they made 3 delivery attempts that they didn't actually make, and then the manager called me to talk to me about it, and she had the most asinine excuses. They didn't even need anyone to be home either, the parcels didn't need to be signed for or anything, so they could've just dropped them off at people's doors.

That's why physical media has been slowly killed...they want to railroad everyone into not being able to actually buy and own copies of things. They don't seem to get that that's EXACTLY why piracy still persists.

I entirely agree with your point. However, technically (🤓), emulation itself is not illegal. As long as you dump the games from legitimately owned copies and get any necessary system/menu/bios files from a legitimate system, you are not breaking the law. The illegal part is when you don't get one of those from your own copy and download it from online, which most people probably do.

When I was on holiday, the hotel gave guests free use of the towels (navy blue with a gold border, the hotels colours) and if you put them on the chairs the staff would take them away if you were gone for too long, not in the pool but away from the pool area. The bar and bbq stands were both in view of the pool so the only reason to leave was to your room and if the staff didn’t see you for like 15-20 minutes they’d take the towel back, even if your stuff was on it, because it’s hotel property. Moreover, they only allowed you to reserve 1 seat per towel and it was 1 towel per person. If you stretched that baby over 2 seats the hotel would take their towel back since you didn’t follow the rules, if it’s your own towel they would warn you about the rule and if they catch you breaking it again they were allowed to BAN you from the pool facilities for the rest of the day. These rules were displayed by the fresh towel bins, the used towel bins, the toilets, the food and drinks, it was hard to miss. It was great 😊

Say if your insurance plan is a 30-70 agreement, insurance will pay for 70% of the costs and you will pay for 30% (after deductibles and such). You pay insurance to cover that 70%. hope that made sense, I'm tired right now

If the thumbnail situation happened to me, I'd immediately take a photo of the note, and send it via text attachment to whoever's in charge of the local FedEx branch, to insist whoever's responsible, be found and reprimanded.

[@Mel_Bat]

2:20 reminds me of one of my dad's clients. She's in her late 60s, but has been using a computer at work since at least the mid 90s (that's how long my dad knows her). About a month ago she asked my dad to transfer data to her new computer (easy enough). Well, she also told him to arrange the icons on her new computer in the same order as she had them previously (bit weird, but ok), but there is a catch, she wanted the exact same spacing between the icons as well. She's not blind, just bad enough with technology (after 30 years of using it) that she can't move icons herself

The thing with the delivery isn't just FedEx. My local post service does the same thing with parcels, except they apparently "knock" (in the same sense that holding a balloon up to a gentle breeze is "inflating" it...) wait about half a second until no-one responds (because no-one in the house is part bat...) and proceed to return the parcel to the most awkward dispatch centre to get to on the face of the planet.

What the fuck are those GBA pokemon game prices? Like seriously? Is that how much they cost now? I bought a pack of five Pokemon games for my GBA, and they all cost like, less than a hundred dollars if I'm remembering correctly. I bought it five years ago. I'm just glad I didn't have to shell out one hundred bucks for a single game.

[@hmnhntr]

The 'collector' community is going crazy right now, and it's definitely not sustainable. The prices are absurdly inflated.

[@woobgamer5210]

this is why piracy is good the second hand market is screwed.

[@KattoTang]

There's a good chance the games you bought are bootlegs. Even five years ago the prices were crazy, but people make bootleg cartridges all the time and sell them much cheaper.

[@Horizon-2008]

@@KattoTang Lol that would make sense, but they work perfectly fine, so I don't care that much.

[@GamingCatMaxi]

I've wanted to get Pokemon XD for years, but the price keeps going up. I didn't see the 80€ for the game back then, so why should I see 300€ for the game now? (I live in Germany)

2:50 pretty sure the reason for this is so you intentionally can't match the number, and have to buy more of one of them in order to match it, thus increasing the profits of either company

10:02 "They're allowed to do that?!" No. No, they are not. Hauling anything at all on the back of your truck, that isn't properly secured, is considered a hazard to other drivers, and is 100% illegal. You could be hauling fecking FEATHERS, and if they're not secured properly, it's illegal.

Most paper fast food cups aren't recyclable because the paper is lined with plastic. Fully plastic cups are recyclable, so the fast food companies can say they're being environmentally friendly while throwing everything in the dumpster anyway. Hope this helps.

[@shwahgamer]

Oh my god, the cone one. We had someone do something like that once! We live in an apartment that doesn't have assigned parking, and ours happens to be right next to the staff's maintenance shed. There's a parking spot right in front our door that's always used by the maintenance guys because it's closest to the shed. But a while back, we used to have a neighbor who would always move a huge wooden pallet in and out of that maintenance spot, so that SHE could park there instead. One time, my fiance's sibling, who also used to live in the same complex at the time, saw the woman doing this early in the morning. And the woman yelled at them saying, "I get this spot because I have special privilege!" This went on for a while until finally the staff got fed up with it. They put up a sign that said the spot was reserved for maintenance only, and if you park there, they'll have you towed. The woman continued to park there, even though she was warned, and finally got towed! And it was really satisfying to see that happen. She doesn't live here anymore either, so I imagine she threw a fit and left because of that. She seemed the type.

if i had to guess why they swapped to plastic cups is that the plastic is easily recyclable but the coated paper just gets tossed out and it's kinda designed to not break down when it's wet

One of my neighbours reserves a space (anyone can use) for her son. She did the cone thing. Then she got someone to park their car across the space, and now just parks her car sideways so when her son comes back she can move hers and he can park there. The spot next to it, another neighbour keeps his broken down/written off Land Rover. Been there for years, never moved (there's literally cobwebs everywhere)

The bent assignment reminds me of the time my French teacher would grade based on how good the art of an assignment was rather than how good the French was. I remember once I did an assignment where we had to color the flag of a French speaking nation on an index card, I had just gotten a kit of professional colored pencils so I used them. But I was still new to them so the texture wasn’t perfectly clean, but it was fully colored, I got points taken for that.
