I actually identified plagiarism in the work of the guy who'd worked on my master's project the previous year because on reading it it was patently obvious that he'd copied entire passages from a paper with no accreditation for the simple reason that it actually made sense whereas the rest of his work was word salad I pointed it out to the supervisor who said "ehhh yeah I know  ". I think he was an overseas student paying a massive amount of money so I'm going to guess they just took the cash and waived it.

Shoplifting and dumpster diving is how a significant chunk of Food not Bombs chapters operate because stores would rather destroy edible food rather than give it away for free to people in need. gently caress stores.

1. tax write off 2. Lawsuit liability? 3. scarcity for the capitalism god Do other countries handle this better? Do they have sensible good samaritan laws and maybe also a ban of disposal before donation to food banks?

MeruFM posted:1. tax write off Basically use by dates are bullshit. And there is a federal law protecting people and companies donating food in good faith. But it seems a lot of people don't know about it. Have a fun video discussing food waste and the nonsense of food dates https://youtu.be/4GDLaYrMCFo UK has started, very slowly, to do away with them, but it's going to take years to undo decades of ingrained perceptions on food expiration.

yeah basically anything that isn’t meat or milk has a pretty variable best by date since it’s for a guaranteed quality and not food safety issue most of the time. lol especially eggs they last for literally months, especially if you keep them in the fridge. i occasionally order groceries from this local products delivery only service and i’ll buy like 7 or 8 dozen eggs at a time and just whittle them down

MeruFM posted:1. tax write off i worked in a little franchise bakery in australia and we had charities come most nights but the rule was they had to pick what they wanted off the shelves (everything) rather than us bagging it up and handing it over, so it was their choice/responsibility. we didn’t have enough people that came to take stuff so some nights it all went in the (unlocked) bin and one night a week was a guy with a goat farm who just used it as feed

I worked in a Walmart produce section in 2005 and still vividly remember the smell of the compactor we had to throw stuff that was just a little too ripe into every day. like an hour of each shift was spent throwing stuff that was good but would have started to go bad in 2-3 days into this big loving compactor to make sure it got destroyed instead of going to someone who could eat it

Shame Boy posted:"if we just gave the food away why would anyone buy the food??" The works of the roots of the vines, of the trees, must be destroyed to keep up the price, and this is the saddest, bitterest thing of all. Carloads of oranges dumped on the ground. The people came for miles to take the fruit, but this could not be. How would they buy oranges at twenty cents a dozen if they could drive out and pick them up?

Internet Janitor posted:tech bubble v5.4: "no" means "remind me later" that reminds me, i've noticed every single time i get off a call with discord it asks me how the call went and has a checkbox to never ask me this again, and i check it every time and then click out of the window to close it and it never ever listens my guess is the thing that records the "don't ask me again" checkbox is tied to the actual submission of the form, so by closing it without answering it never actually submits that I don't want to answer

U.S. District Court Judge Edward Davila issued the order after the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit on Tuesday rejected Holmes' request to remain on bail as she appeals the case.
