This is why my husband and I have increased our tips to a minimum of 35% whenever we go out to eat. We appreciate _everyone_ who has remained in the hospitality industry. It's a job I'm willing to admit I could never do. We recently went to a restaurant and waited for an hour to be seated. When the hostess came to get us, we were astonished to see most of the place was empty. Clearly they were working with minimal staff. When the waitress finally came to our table, she looked like she could cry, apologizing for the wait and all. We told her to relax, that we had time, and the relief on her face was immediate. I guess she expected for us to be grumpy and chew her out. I'm sure there's plenty of people who would do just that. It turned out to be a lovely evening.

A pencil is a kind of writing equipment that is also used to draw, usually on paper. Most pencil cores are made of graphite powder mixed with a clay binder. So, a pencil is usually made with a piece of graphite mixed with clay that has a wood case around it. The shape is usually a hexagonal prism but some pencils are square or cylinder. Colored pencils are a kind that do not use greyish silver graphite. Instead, the core is colorful. Colored pencils or crayons are usually meant for drawing rather than writing. The important difference between pens and pencils is that the tip of a pencil is made of solid graphite (or other material) which is rubbed off onto the paper. A pen has a tip, usually made of metal, with liquid ink coming out and onto the paper. Writing with a pen can smudge when it is still wet. Writing from a pencil can be erased, but writing from a pen usually cannot, unless it uses a special type of ink and eraser. An early writing tool was the reed pen used by ancient Egyptians, who wrote with ink on sheets of papyrus paper. Another early writing instrument was the stylus, which was a thin metal stick, often made from lead. It was used for scratching onto black wax that covered white wood, a method used by the Romans. The word pencil comes from the Latin word pencillus which means "little tail". It is an invention of the 16th century in England. Some time before 1565 (it may have been as early as 1500), an enormous deposit of graphite was discovered in Borrowdale, Cumbria. The locals found that it was very useful for marking sheep. This particular deposit of graphite was extremely pure and solid, and it could easily be sawn into sticks. This is still the only large scale deposit of graphite ever found in this solid form. Chemistry was in its infancy and the substance was thought to be a form of lead. Consequently, it was called plumbago (Latin for "lead ore"). The black core of pencils is still referred to as lead, even though it never contained the element lead. The value of graphite was soon realized, mainly because it could be used to line the moulds for cannonballs. The mines were taken over by the Crown and guarded. When sufficient stocks of graphite had been accumulated, the mines were flooded to prevent theft until more was required. Graphite had to be smuggled out for use in pencils. Because graphite is soft, it requires some form of holder. Graphite sticks were at first wrapped in string or in sheepskin for stability. The news of the usefulness of these early pencils spread far and wide, attracting the attention of artists all over the known world. England continued to have a monopoly on the production of pencils until a method of reconstituting the graphite powder was found. The distinctively square English pencils continued to be made with sticks cut from natural graphite into the 1860s. The town of Keswick, near the original findings of block graphite, has a pencil museum. The first attempt to manufacture graphite sticks from powdered graphite was in Nuremburg, Germany, in 1662. It used a mixture of graphite, sulphur, and antimony. Residual graphite from a pencil stick is not poisonous, and graphite is harmless if consumed. The Italians first thought of wooden holders. In 1560, an Italian couple named Simonio and Lyndiana Bernacotti created the first blueprints for the modern carpentry pencil to mark their carpentry pieces. Their version was instead a flat, oval, more compact type of pencil. They did this at first by hollowing out a stick of juniper wood. Shortly thereafter, a superior technique was discovered: two wooden halves were carved, a graphite stick inserted, and the two halves then glued together-essentially the same method in use to this day. English and German pencils were not available to the French during the Napoleonic Wars. France was under naval blockade imposed by Great Britain and could not import the pure graphite sticks from the British Grey Knotts mines - the only known source in the world for solid graphite. France was also unable to import the inferior German graphite pencil substitute. It took the efforts of an officer in Napoleon's army to change this. In 1795, NicholasJacques Conté discovered a method of mixing powdered graphite with clay and forming the mixture into rods that were then fired in a kiln. By varying the ratio of graphite to clay, the hardness of the graphite rod could also be varied. This method of manufacture, which had been earlier discovered by the Austrian Joseph Hardtmuth of Kohl-l-Noh in 1790, remains in use.[11] In England, pencils continued to be made from whole sawn graphite. Henry Bessemer's first successful invention (1838) was a method of compressing graphite powder into solid graphite thus allowing the waste from sawing to be reused American colonists imported pencils from Europe until after the American Revolution. Benjamin Franklin advertised pencils for sale in his Pennsylvania Gazette in 1729, and George Washington used a three-inch pencil when he surveyed the Ohio Territory in 1762. It is said that William Munroe, a cabinetmaker in Concord, Massachusetts made the first American wood pencils in 1812. This was not the only pencil-making occurring in Concord. Henry David Thoreau discovered how to make a good pencil out of inferior graphite using clay as the binder; this invention was prompted by his father's pencil factory in Concord, which employed graphite found in New Hampshire in 1821 by Charles Dunbar On 30 March 1858, Hymen Lipman received the first patent for attaching an eraser to the end of a pencil.[13] In 1862 Lipman sold his patent to Joseph Reckendorfer for $100,000, who went to sue the pencil manufacturer Faber-Castell for infringement. In 1875 the Supreme Court of the United States ruled against Reckendorfer declaring the patent invalid. The metal band used to mate the eraser with pencil is called a ferrule. The first attempt to manufacture graphite sticks from powdered graphite was in Nuremberg, Germany in 1662. They used a mixture of graphite, sulfur and antimony. Though usable, they were not as good as the English pencils. English and German pencils were not available to the French during the Napoleonic wars. It took the efforts of an officer in Napoleon's army to change this. In 1795 Nicholas Jacques Conté discovered a method of mixing powdered graphite with clay and forming the mixture into rods which were then fired in a kiln. By varying the ratio of graphite to clay, the hardness of the graphite rod could also be varied (the more clay, the harder the pencil, and the lighter the color of the mark). This method of making pencils is still used today. Today, pencils are made industrially by mixing finely ground graphite and clay powders, adding water, forming long spaghetti-like strings, and firing them in a kiln. The resulting strings are dipped in oil or molten wax which seeps into the tiny holes of the material, resulting in smoother writing. A juniper or incense-cedar plank with several long parallel grooves is cut to make something called a slate, and the graphite/clay strings are inserted into the grooves. Another grooved plank is glued on top, and the whole thing is then cut into individual pencils, which are then varnished or painted. A few common brands of colored pencils (among other items) are Crayola, RoseArt and Cra-Z-Art.

I've actually been talking about the great resignation looong before it happened, like back in 2016. I obviously didn't know the day or the circumstances, but I could clearly see the growing discontent as well as the sheer illogicality of the difference between wages and cost of living. Japan essentially has the same problem, but much worse; and predictably, you have a pretty substantial portion of the population checking out of society. They have people working 60-80 hour weeks just to keep pace with everyone else, making upward mobility basically impossible because the level of productivity required to set yourself apart from everyone else is beyond human capability; and as a result you have about 3/5 of the country simply choosing not to get a career and start a family. Apply the same trend to America, and it's obvious that this was going to happen; and had already started years ago, really. The pandemic just put it into overdrive and kicked it forward by about 10 years.

[@A_Ducky]

"I'm just not gonna go anymore" - Office Space

[@tpalabra6568]

Tbh I think things were fine pre-biden admin/pandemic. People would complain about minimum wage jobs because they would barely cover the cost of living, when they are really not supposed to. Unskilled labour's tricky because the wage can't be higher than that of the value that's brought by the position itself, which isn't enough to have a comfortable life if the business is to stay viable, unfortunately. They aren't supposed to be permanent jobs, they are transitory and focused on experience and scalability for the younger generation. Things did change though. Inflation's absurd rn, so NOW I think it's more sane to complain, because it's eating up lower wage jobs first. The pandemic has increased the pace at which everything moves forward, so there's no room to relax and be comfortable for a while anymore which is extremely damaging for common folk. Wages stay the same so people have to race inflation on the daily, it means if they don't increase their economic influx fast enough they'll just get eaten up by dumb political decisions and reckless spending from the current admin. Now it seems like a more sound move to just skip the lower wage job and try luck on other options straight away because one can't take their time anymore... grinding a minimum wage job for a while is just not worth it atm. Point aside, under normal circumstances minimum wage jobs are really a blessing in disguise. I know americans kinda see it as the worst possible case scenario, but you really don't know how essential it is to have jobs that require no experience, and as a trade off they barely/don't cover the cost of living. Many third world countries are just lacking formal options like these, and as a result there's no safe way to make money as a uni student and/or to get some life experience on the side. They are usually informal (which means you aren't ACTUALLY employed) which means your safety's constantly at play. Dealing with your s*tty manager seems awful at the time, but years later it really helps to have gone through that phase lol. I guess my point is having the option for minimum wage jobs is not a bad sign, on the contrary, it's one more option available on the many others you can take to kickstart life and I personally think its wrong to resent them. Welp, I side tracked a bit, but I still think the second's a valuable point to make anyways so whatever.

[@KAMFP]

The other side of the great resignation is while the lower end jobs are garbage, the higher end skill jobs are suffering from a lack of viable employees. I've seen the game shift from engineering contracts, to now companies wanting long term employees. Took them a bit to realize a good worker is not something you can always easily come by with a shrinking market as less people go to college for skilled labor or just not bother with their degrees at all.

[@LancesArmorStriking]

@@tpalabra6568 Your argument rests on the assumption that businesses are financially incapable of paying enough to have a 'comfortable life'. This makes little sense to me, since the 2nd half of the 20th century (at least in the US) was full of entyr-level jobs that could provide what we'd now consider a 'comfortable life' (by that, I'm assuming you mean rent is fully paid, along with car insurance, gas, bills, and food- notice that this is also the bare minimum to not be homeless). I think the issue is that the macroeconomic conditions have changed- Europe and Asia no longer need Americans to do their manufacturing for them, so there's less demand, and wages have gotten more competitive in overseas markets. Not to mention the bottom minimum wage hasn't kept up with inflation for 40 years, so a big part of it is just business owners (both big and small) getting greedy lol

There is a thing called pen and paper. Or better yet spend some time making a 3d model of the house in something like Blender. Then before moving you can plan where to place everything by just moving it around until you think you know how to do it for real. 3D modeling is not super hard and is like Photoshop a good skill to have. Being good enough to make something look real is one thing. But just making basic shapes and recreate a floor plan is not super hard. The worst part is taking down notes on the measurements on stuff and without a laser it is tricky to take room measurements. And taking the notes right are also not really easy without making a pen and paper model with the measurements on it. How would a device know your furniture/stuff looks like? Would some random sofa be enough to plan your living room? So unless scanning your stuff and then VR placing them down in your new place feels easier then just moving the stuff around the old basic way. Well. What good dose the projection tech going to be? You think it is going to be easier to scan every item? With some rudimentary 3d modeling knowledge and the room sizes written down you can fine tune the move DAYS before even packing up your stuff and starting the move. With a normal measuring tape you can get the size of your stuff and recreate them in 3d for your house in 3d. Dose it take some work? yes. Is it harder then some stupid VR bullshit? No. Using Blender (free) and a computer with very low specs are going to be enough. Think of it like making a cardboard mock up but in a computer. And less cardboard and tape... Having a robot vacuum cleaner scanning your home layout is bad enough you know. Asking a phone app to scan everything in your house is just the next step. This tech companies are making up solutions for problems that tools already have existed for a long time but the average person have no clue exist. And it is really sad to hear people think up "reasons" to make there life better when there is already ways to achieve it if just people knew where to look. It is not gimmicky or fancy. But knowledge like this should be taut in schools. But they don't. ;C Dose not make anyone money.

@@Contra7311 It’s why VR in my opinion is boring, majority of games and apps I’ve seen come from people who have 0 creativity or just some greedy company.

Or you could use that interesting feature in your brain - imagination. Tech dependence starts this way. With how dependent we already are on our phones, they’re already an extension of ourselves. Practically cyborgs when you think about it.

One of the highlights of 2021 for me was discovering this channel. Thanks for the informative entertainment and making me giggle. Happy New Year.

This year is starting the cross the line into absolute insanity. I can see why "May you live in interesting times." was a threat. All I can say, whatever happens next year, is gonna be really funny.
