Senior Chief Petty Officer. Starfleet is in my blood, and I’ve spent my entire adult life in service to boldly going.
Keiko and Molly are my favorite humans, but Transporter Room 3 will always be my favorite.
Just don’t ask who what’s in the pattern buffer.
If the government declares a strike illegal, or tries to in any way compel the employees to return to work, they are explicitly telling the workers that they are nothing more than indentured servants, barely more than slaves. You exist to make these people money, now sit down and shut up before we throw you in prison for upsetting your betters.
Fuck it I’m buying it now.
Half life 2 was my first “I can’t wait to get home and play” game, despite having played so many games from basically 97 onward.
1 it was too expensive to move out and honestly without the added income I provided my parents would have lost their house on multiple occasions
2 I got one the fall after I graduated
3 this one took awhile
4 lol no. Never. Children are the worst. I should know, I used to be one.
It seems like every time it goes on sale, I am either between contracts or just not able to justify the unnecessary expense.
Now that I have more stable employment it hasn’t gone on sale.
Honestly this by itself might be enough to make me pay full price.
I wonder how long it took, considering they wrote a script to convert the original transcription into PZ usable stuff.
10/10 mod, no pattern buffer for you.
Oh my god so much yes.
Make it chilly enough to wear an oversized hoodie and I will never leave.
To anyone who doesn’t want to watch videos, it’s a reference to “Beauty and The Beast”, specifically the intro where the entire town sings a song containing lines such as "look there she goes that girl is so peculiar, " “yes she’s strange, no question” and “what a puzzle to the rest of us is Belle” (her name) the whole time she is walking around town, well within hearing distance.
Having worked in quite a few fields in the last 15 years or so, it’s the same active shooter training they give everyone. Even in stores that sell guns.
I’ll let the reader decide how fucked up it is that there’s basically a countrywide accepted “standard response”
you can only do that so many times before you run out of money, materials, water, or places to build
That’s someone else’s problem. Hopefully someone after they’re dead, but as long as they have their golden parachute, who cares?
Shame, I guess you’ll have to stab some tires. No choice, really.
Make sure you don’t poke any high pressure tires, your hands and arm bones will thank you!
Ooh nice, cheaper eco-friendly alternative!
Valve stem tool. Any bike shop worth going to will have one, and almaot any auto shop should have some.
Loosen the stem, and you don’t even have to sit there letting the air out. Just walk away and let it deflate.
This looks more like someone did it on purpose.
They’re all shifted down by one
People won’t stand up for their neighbors and community when Nazies are rounding the others up
Because it doesn’t directly affect them yet.
“Then they came for my coffee”, and all that.
This right here is exactly why I have no issue with the Luke and Lando destroying either death star.
Were there independent contractors present? Tons. Heaps, even.
I can tell you a contractors personal politics comes into play heavily when choosing jobs.
Anyone who knows the score and chooses to actively participate in evil and morally dubious business gets no sympathy if shit hits the fan.
Also as 3rd party labor, most recently I refused to do any jobs that took me into a Target. Lost out on about $3000 of work, but they will never get anything from me, even if they’re paying me for it (directly or not)
I worked as a bike tech for a sporting goods store and replaced most of the store tools with my own. The ones they had were all the cheapest crap from ebay or Amazon or something. One of the wrenches snapped on the first group of bikes we built when the store opened.
A nice tool that feels good in the hand will pay for itself with the comfort it provides.
I had to threaten to sue them because when they fired a bunch of us and barred us from the store, they tried to say those tools belong to them even after sending them the receipts for everything. And informing them where the box of original tools went. And having to call someone still in the store to bring me out the most expensive tool there and they had the audacity to tell me that me taking it would make their jobs harder because there was no replacement for it and if I could just be reasonable they’ll have a replacement in a month so I can come back then.
Just a guess, but when the person you’re replying to says “nestle” they mean “the company of nestle, it’s employees and all their bullshit” rather than “this specific person from the company” like most people…
I doubt many people are under the illusion that major players in any company are directly involved with astroturfing on websites they don’t own.
It’s always going to be a low level employee, possibly even an unpaid intern.
They’re saying it’s on the SUV driver to prove they didn’t do illegal things that resulted in the accident, assuming normal police requests don’t do it first (security camera footage of the intersection) because nobody knows for sure who ran a red light except the people involved, unless there’s proof.
Not “someone said the SUV ran a red light and everyone believed them instantly without proof and the SUV was found at fault”
In a row?!
Evolution.
It knows what it is, and nobody in it is under some illusion that they’re making some masterpiece of cinema. That is not at all a criticism or even backhanded compliment. I like when the actors have fun with the things they’re working on. I mean, who doesn’t love seen behind the scenes of Ian Mckellen slapping a dummy of Sean Aston around.
It’s fun, it’s ridiculous, and it leans into it a bit.
Plus they came up with the Thanos Weakness a long time before the avengers fans.
(it’s the butthole, they attacked a giant alien anus with soap to save the day)
If my employer tried to tell me I’m only getting paid when I’m actively using the equipment instead of the whole time I setting up and transferring materials, I’d have to get in line to set the place on fire
