Hiring people is expensive. Training people is expensive. Lost productivity while a new hire gets up to speed is expensive. If you've got someone who's doing a job successfully you should be doing your very best to hang on to them because losing them incurs a ton of avoidable costs.

Just ordered some hair clippers from Amazon and the confirmation email has some suggestions on things that would best accompany my purchase: I suppose the idea is that I'm going to balls up my hair, varnish the top of my head then nail the bag to it?

The last time someone tried to hand over Harriet Tubman in a transaction, it didn’t go well for them. The Tubman card: it’ll spy on you. There’s also a “bucks” joke here, but I won’t be the one to make it. P.S.: American Express will sue them for infringing on their Black Card trademark.

Look at this guy who thinks managers are in it to make money. No, my young padawan learner. If nobody is acting in a way to maximize profits that means the incentives are not to maximize profits. If the incentives are to control people all day, that is the actual purpose of the business. If you spend all your time doing X, you are in the X business.

Oh man. Reminds of this poo poo customer I had at work. You can make paper out of sanitized herbivore waste because they don't digest the cellulose. You can turn things like grass and bamboo into paper products which is much more sustainable than forestry products. I was talking to this lady about the paper we had, and mentioned that last point, she got all offended and said she didn't agree because she was a forester and we HAVE to cut down all the trees eventually. Um excuse me? No we loving don't! What the gently caress lady.

If she actually was a forester it might have been a gut "oh no my job reaction" even if realistically that probably barely affects it.

Make paper pulp out of "naked" cellulose from algae or biodigested grass and reduce costly bleaching and lignin removal. Continue sustainable forestry and bury excess wood as a carbon sink. I wish both points were as easy as typing them out. Paper manufacturers aren't any more married to trees than fiber length and the alternative methods compete more with recycled fiber than virgin tree fiber when it comes to quality and length. And we're still figuring out what carbon sequestration should look like, and if forestry can and should play a part.

Okay, I'm still salty about these loving earwax ads I keep getting for no apparent reason (AND I have Adblocker, so why do they show up, and how do I stop making this happen?!) Why on earth would a FOOD website allow this disgusting ad on their site?  I know sites don't have much, if any, control on what ads get shoved on them. But you can't tell me people are looking up "tasty salad recipes" and then thinking "hmmm, now I've completely lost my appetite, and lemme click on this horrible picture of earwax! I'll be sure to visit this site again!" Like, I'm never clicking on Taste of Home again because I might get gross earwax in pages about food. I'm also never clicking on that ad. No one has won here. This is dumb marketing, yes?

The difference between a chick pea and a garbanzo bean is that I've never paid forty dollars to have a garbanzo bean on my face

JacquelineDempsey posted:Why on earth would a FOOD website allow this disgusting ad on their site? This reminds me of the old Allrecipes app. When you'd select a recipe there'd be a loading screen with a random quote from a recipe review, only the selection of quotes it pulled from was pretty small. Half the time I was trying to make food I had to read, again, about grandma's litter box cake and how all the kids freaked out when they thought they saw her eating cat turds, or how some other recipe was so good her husband ate too much and it made him poo poo a lot. Who the hell thought that was a good idea!

They are trying to build a Tesla factory here in germany and, among valid environmental concerns, some people are mad because they are cutting down a shitton of trees to do it. The thing is though: Thats not a natural forest. Those trees have been planted to get harvested a couple of decades later. Theres no undergrowth or biodiversity in that forest, its just rows and rows of trees with not much else. So yeah,cut those fuckers down. Theres never gonna be a natural forest there. Cutting down wild forests because they are just standing around not making money is pretty hosed up though.
