InsertPotPun posted:Wait, why wouldn't that be a thing any more? Putting hot things in your fridge warms the fridge making the appliance work harder and heats anything nearby, this might put the food into the "danger zone" and encourage bacteria growth. Modern fridges chill more efficiently and effectively than older fridges. Back in the day when the ice box was this little box in the corner of the fridge you could only access if you opened the whole fridge. Now days baring stuff like mini-fridges, they work really well at chilling stuff down quickly. I remember my great aunt making orange juice from those frozen concentrates way back. She'd do it for me mostly on days when I'd mow the lawn, but it took near all day for it to chill down to refreshingly cold vs now when it's like ready in an hour or so

Guys the "modern refrigerators" argument is both problematic from a privilege perspective and only partially correct. Handing out advice based on your standard of living is never as helpful as you think it is and even modern refrigerators still run into problems with temperature if overloaded or if filled with hot food so "it "should be ok" isn't good enough. For safety's sake alone cool your food at the very least before putting it in your fridge, use multiple containers and never put the cooling food near or below meat.

I had no idea why it was a thing, I just always let my food cool before putting it in the fridge. I guess I assumed it was about not loving up the seals on the containers by parts of it cooling too quickly, but I never really thought about it

This is a fair point, your fridge may be old, not working properly, or any number of things. And it is best to let your food cool down before putting it in, especially if you have something susceptible to spoilage like raw meat in the fridge.

Well, we all know how conservatives feel about poors having fridges, so I guess the debate is counterproductive. Every fridge counts, we're all winners here. #victoryfridges

My favorite thing I personally witnessed was a bar that repurposed their broken glasses as ice scoops. Clear glasses that got chipped or broke weren't thrown out: they were used to scoop ice. This is, apparently, super common and REALLY depressing.

The health inspector that taught my first class had so many great stories about local restaurants. He had pictures he took with a lady who had cut her hand while sectioning chicken and he's holding up her hand like a trophy, it's wrapped in paper towels and still blood is flowing down her arm. The entire pile of chicken wings was COVERED in blood and the cooks would grab from the pile.  At least just cut up a plastic bottle to make a scoop ffs.

Someone who worked at Action Park (the infamously dangerous water park in New Jersey) in the early 90s before its closure had a blog where former employees told stories of their time there. When a lightbulb broke in the ice cream cooler, the teenage manager tried to tell them to just throw out the top and keep going.

When I worked at Outback one of the worst things to happen during a busy shift was a glass breaking anywhere near the ice bin because we needed to stop whatever we were doing, drain the bin, clean it, then refill it. Fistfights would nearly start over someone in a hurry just scooping ice with the glass (to save time) because of the risk. And broken glasses tended to lead to more broken glasses - they didn't like to order new boxes, so as glasses broke over time, we'd have to start grabbing glasses just out of the dishwasher, eventually those glasses would be hot, and way more likely to break as they went from the hot washer thing straight to ice and cold beverages. Fun times.

He orders lots of things (like Big Macs and Diet Cokes) and lots of people (like McGahn) to do things (like fire Mueller and then say he wasn't told to fire Mueller). It's just that his success rate with the former is quite a bit higher than with people in the mix. Mantis42 posted:I remember enjoying that movie and I have no wish to ruin it by watching it again.

One of my favorite recurring Trump stories is him repeatedly telling MAD DOG MATTIS to just assassinate someone or do something else equally stupid then Mattis goes back to the Joint Chief of Staff or someone and says "lol no we're not doing that".

Lol, Pete is literally the exact opposite of Trump in just about every way that I can think of other than his gender. Smart, well spoken, a Rhodes Scholar, a military veteran, in a dedicated loving relationship, no scandals, young, and in shape. Also he actually did help with his towns well being and is better with money.

He's very detached from the problems suffered by the poor and minorities and was notorious for tearing down a ton of poor people's houses when they couldn't provide the money for mandatory repairs. He spent some time in the military doing basically nothing and worked for one of the most notoriously corrupt and destructive corporations in America. He has basically no actual policy positions except vague platitudes. I'd vote for him over Trump because even a head of cabbage would be a better president than Trump, but I would like for him to never become a front runner. He'd more than likely be about as good at campaigning as Clinton.

I don't think McKinsey is intentionally evil, but take a look at Buttigieg's extremely data-driven view on life (at the expense of proper understanding or human factors) and you see it there too. They'll work with anyone for anything regardless of how lovely it is and never take actual human lives into account before making a profitable decision. Anything from consulting for ICE to making lists of Saudi dissidents that let the government better oppress and murder them. It's a culture of profit over all at the most extreme level.

Obviously this meant that they were actually coordinating all of their stories and receiving their orders from Soros and Antifa supersoldiers. Pravda and useful idiots gave us the USSR (apparently), JournoList and useful idiots also led to a progressive revolution that swept away the old conservative ways and ushered in 70 years of state-controlled socialism.
