A cherished memory growing up was eating fried catfish on Fridays during Lent. Now it doesn't even have to be Lenten season to eat fried fish I can have it whenever! It rocks!

Cyrano4747 posted:Because it's poor people / "those people" food. This isn't just a US thing, you see it elsewhere too, although the examples I'm aware of usually revolve around bread.* Something is a staple of the economic (and often social/racial) lower classes, people a rung or two above them on the ladder avoid it because they don't want to be perceived as being lower down than they really are, then a few generations later you have yuppie food bloggers raving about the authentic food truck serving it out front of their office building. By the time you get to that point the association isn't as strong and the people rediscovering it aren't as economically tenuous and afraid of backsliding. I remember hearing years ago that there was a similar inversion in the perspective on owning lakefront property. Back in the day lakefront property was unappealing (poor drainage, full of bugs, smelled bad, etc), and was left for the yokels while the rich people lived up the hill. Now it's the reverse.

That reversal is now also reversing due to climate change. Lots of previously unattractive neighborhoods inland and uphill in Miami are getting the gently caress gentrified out of them by rich people who see the writing on the wall.

Serious_Cyclone posted:I'm sure that's a reason why fried chicken is a large part of the culture, but I don't get why it's invoked like some huge insult. "lol they eat fried chicken and watermelon", and? You ever try fried chicken and watermelon? It's delicious. Minstrel/blackface shows had a lot to do with it too. I was raised Jewish in the south and a lot of the food stereotypes about Jews and Jewish food went right over my head as a kid. The black and poor white ones didn't. Got to college and it was quite the cultural exchange. Anyway, vaguely thread relevant: I'm glad I have jobs now that let me have Yom Kippur off no questions asked instead of trying to give me the Judaism litmus test.

I never had a bat mitzvah because my conservative Jewish mother didn't think girls should have them, so apparently this makes me not Jewish? Or something? I also don't look Jewish or act Jewish according to previous workplace supervisors. I've also been accused of making up Yom Kippur because the only Jewish holiday people know is Hanukkah, if that.

Basically I came in to grab a growler for a sample to bring to a craft beer place. The restaurant manager is like "There's a problem with the CO2. Can you fix it?" and the head chef says he went in there and almost passed out because it was filled with CO2. There were two CO2 canisters covered in frost and the regulator was completely iced over, like this  I asked if they had tightened the nut enough. So I secured it really tight on another canister and went around. Gas levels on the kegs were zero. I thought it was that they hadn't tightened the nut enough. But now I realize it was because he had left the valve open to a keg coupler that wasn't attached to anything. Before I closed the valve the kegs in the gas line before that line were fine all others wouldn't retain pressure, after I closed it the pressures after that line suddenly went up. Also, the regulator and the hose leading from it to the kegs was iced over, meaning compressed CO2 was flowing through at a very high rate. Dude blasted through two gas canisters without thinking about any of this.

My work has set up a brand new system on which we document all of our job planning and then the job itself. No one has had any training on how to use it. To make sure everything is properly checked, you can't set out your plan for the job until you've put in all the information and risk assessment and had a manager and partner authorise it on the system Then, you can't update or edit the actual work programme for the job until the plan has been authorised. The manager is on holiday for two weeks and hasn't signed poo poo. On Monday I'm off to the client's office with two staff, one of whom is brand new, to do all the work

Depleted atmospheres kill people all the time and are something you cannot gently caress around with. This incident needs actual consequences for those involved you can’t brush it off.

First responders can only wait outside and prevent more people from going in. I would be very mad that there are no safety protocols to prevent this from happening in my workplace.
