I asked if the company had a pressure washer because I wanted to do a deep clean in some areas that weren't accessible to the deck brish and too set in for the regular hose so my boss ordered me pressure washer. Pretty decent one too! I was expecting something a bit cheaper. The kitchen staff had fun testing it out.

The only way to actually do that afaik is to make using your intranet site not suck. I've never seen an example of a working, good intranet, and they (intranets) are all either all the information all the time for 10k+ people in which it's impossible to find anything or an empty husk with nothing of use.

The eternal rule of intranets always being a sharepoint thing doesn't help either. Try using the search field and see if something useful comes out (it wont)

Our marketing wanted that, we (IT) pushed back hard, and were told to do it. So I made sure that the CIO was included in the policy pilot group.

It didn’t get any further than that. gently caress e’m, marketing has always been the worst in any company I’ve been in when it comes to their expectations and interacting with IT.

If only. It's mostly brewing and packaging that suck. I pretty much always get stuck mashes. I pretty much have to brew it on Mondays because if I brew on Monday I, I pitch Philly Sour yeast on the brew day, then NEIPA on the following Wednesday (which isn't difficult), then fruit and first dry hop on the Friday after. It's just that the amount of hops and purree is a pain in the rear end. I end up with like neatly half of the volume going down the drain. I tried to negate this by putting the second dry hop in a hop bag but the hop bag got stuck in the racking arm and causing issues with the flow for bottling. Why don't we just bottle the pale ale? I guess that's just life sometimes.

P much everyone I know that likes IPAs, myself included in part gravitated to them because they were both strong in terms of alcohol content, and lighter feeling so it was easy to drink several. Other stuff tends to either be too weak to be worth drinking, or too heavy to want more than one with dinner.

Basically what I’m saying is if you wanna make a new style popular you need to brew for alcoholics.

Lots of Goses are lower on the sourness scale and don't incorporate fruit. Two Roads/Evil Twin used to make one with kelp that I could get my dad to drink, and he's afraid of non-lite beers.

The past 15 years of craft brewing has climaxed in high quality Zima (i.e. all the soda pop sours) and malt liquor that masks the gasoline tastes of high alcohol malt beverages (i.e. IPAs) and I am all about it.

Shot and a brew is the alcoholic's solution to this. People have been "fixing" the low alcohol content of Miller Lite by using it as a chaser for whisky for generations.

I won't pretend I'm above this. Plenty of times I've wanted to get my Friday afternoon swerve on and I'll start by ordering a beer I want to enjoy along with a couple shots of whatever is cheap.

Adding a seventh thing does not in any way decrease reliance upon things one through six, of course. Thing seven is going to increase efficiency though! I think thing seven is supposed to eventually replace thing five, but until thing five becomes fully obsolete then we are required to duplicate all work. I think.

Thing seven is mandatory.

I got asked by marketing if we could make the intranet everyone's home page in a meeting yesterday, and enjoyed explaining to them, in front of the CEO and CFO, exactly what that would do to worker productivity, efficiency, and morale. Most of our workforce are not exactly power users. If they didn't open chrome and see all of the tabs they use every day (and have spent a decade curating), the meltdowns would be amazing.

We're so short on a component vs. lead time right now that we have a production schedule that accounts for 1pc remaining. So far so good, and they made sure to tell people to not splice that part and just run it. It's a very, very tiny resistor though, so lol let's see how it goes.
While back we were doing the last run of a board that was leaving and I saw the machine was rejecting a critical part that we had a wiggle of like 1200pc on. We had thrown out 280 before we even noticed and actually fixed it over the course of 3 hours, then I went dumpster diving in the trash and found out the operator on 2nd shift threw away... a lot of them. A lot. They had to take apart scrapped boards in storage to finish it off I believe.

Sorry to all the brewers in here but I love all that gimmicky sour poo poo and I wish the closest corner store would get the message that IPAs are over and sours are the new hotness

More on topic, I work at an agency and the client I'm working with rn makes me want to throw my computer and myself off a roof daily.

One of the latest examples: they made a mockup of a modification they wanted us to make to component A. I know that because they labeled it as component A in Figma (balls!!!!) 3 months ago. Then there was a Jira ticket describing how we would modify component A, just to keep everything straight. Naturally, we went in and made the modifications to component A. Come to QA testing, and it turns out that we were supposed to know that they meant for us to actually apply those changes to the hitherto unmentioned component B after all, and presumably labeled everything wrong for a joke.
