Looking up imperial units is fun because outside of the normal inches, feet, yards, gallons, pounds, etc. you have absolute loving nonsense like grains, barleycorns, furlongs, hands, slugs, tuns, etc.

Are caps not numbered parts that can be matched to a specific machine?

if the problem is that some caps have been lost and there are more machines than caps then the only solution is to get more caps. doesn't matter how you tie caps to machines there still isn't going to be enough of them.

But if people start swapping them about it becomes trackable. Maybe you can work out which fucko keeps chucking the caps out with the packaging. I mean, you should just get more loving caps, but if they're worth more than gold you gotta start closely tracking poo poo.

Escape From Noise posted:My boss asked me about making a hard seltzer. I think I've traveled back in time to the year 2019. Maybe he'll ask me for a brut IPA next. God, I'm so glad the days of every brewery trying to jump on the hard seltzer bandwagon for a quick buck seem to be over. I gotta say, though, I do kinda miss brut IPA. The neighbor brewery of the last place I worked in Chicago (which, along with the brewery I worked at, is also closed) made a really nice one.

We work in litres and hectolitres, metres and millimetres, grams and kilograms, and everything is easy. This is something I miss about working in Denmark: Doing everything in metric after growing up using US imperial was mindblowing, and calculating things like volume in the US is loving hilarious after working exclusively in metric for a while. Also researching old English ale recipes is  because old UK imperial units are batshit stupid.Although I'm kinda glad I never got used to Denmark's number system where numbers are said like "five and four half-twenties".

Yeah. Sure. Let's put " dark honey" in the name of a beer with no honey and tack on the word "strong" so people know that the Belgian dark strong, is in fact, strong. This will definitely not cause unnecessary confusion with the imperial stout with honey we'll be releasing next month.

Lmao: the company I currently work for (until I leave in Jan  ) does some advertising campaigns for clients and just made a song and dance about doing an upcoming NFT project for a client - in Dec 2022.I posted charts about how the NFT bubble has basically already burst and the response, after several hours, was "well, uh, the campaign doesn't actually need to sell any to be successful" to which I replied "why bother with NFTs then?" and the best reponse was "well, uh, it's the client's decision to make and we don't really care because we get paid either way". I've already resigned so I couldn't care less about arguing further, but this strikes me as both monumentally stupid and incredibly selfish. I equate it to "well, they might be Nazis asking us to make flags for them, but they pay well and we get to work with nice fabric so get sewing".

From that response I'd say it's more "we know this medical procedure won't help you, but you're paying for it so let's get some anaesthetic in you".

Sewing Nazi flags is itself reprehensible, selling NFTs is just wasting the client's money. They're both cynical acts but only one of them gets you arrested in Germany.

nexus6 posted:Lmao: the company I currently work for (until I leave in Jan I used to work in medical advertising at one point in my life. When I left, my company had scored a contract with Coca-Cola. Their brief? They wanted to use the line that a bottle of Coke was as healthy as a banana. To be clear, the specific argument they wanted to make was that there was a particular substance (it's been long enough that I don't recall the exact thing) in Coke that was being called out as potentially dangerous, and Coke wanted to point out that there was as much of this substance in a bottle of Coke as there was in a banana so it's not a big deal. However, for whatever reason the client really wanted to draw an overall equivalency in health terms between a bottle of Coke and a banana for the central messaging. Most everyone in the company was shrugging their shoulders and saying "This is dumb as hell but hey, if the client wants it they're paying, not our problem if they get mocked relentlessly for it."

I listened to Welcome to Sky Valley, Blood Mountain, Sound & Fury, Variations on a Theme and Crack the Skye plus a smattering of HoF on killer noise canceling headphones I made the circuitboard for while cutting boards out of panels for 8 hours and got paid a lot of money to do it last night. The dumbest thing my work ever did was decide to shut their bread and butter plant down due to snap COVID decisions, and then double down on it when they started making record profit off... our product lines. Because none of our competitors can keep up with production and neither can their CMOs. they're going to replace us with the same CMOs while they get their poo poo together, which they never will

Ever since the start of Covid, my company is making just stunning, record breaking amounts of money doing what we've always done, and they're taking all this money and spending it on expanding into niche luxury crap instead of oh I dunno securing our own supply lines so we can keep doing the thing we do that makes all the money in the first place

The year they are shutting down the plant that makes them all their money to send a bunch of stuff back to the DE line that kept sending entire product lines back to us because they couldn't loving figure it out is also the year their main competitor, an American company, is wholesale canceling production of entire product lines because they can't secure supply chains with their CMOs. To send a bulk of the boards that we produce to CMOs since the guys at home base can't figure it the gently caress out. Lmao they're throwing away like 400+ years of combined surface mount soldering and equipment experience with the people they have left, not to mention or account for the people they let go since late 2020. There are open job offers to assist the plant in DE, but they will not assist financially. Absolutely loving unbelievable.

A vendor was on site today, part of some development work. We had a meeting scheduled afterward with the vendor's team who weren't on site to discuss the findings. In the meeting, my boss sits at the head of the table, power move. My boss also did not set up the conference room on Teams, so the phone didn't work. We had to wait for the vendor to get on guest wifi, then use their laptop as a speakerphone. No one on the call could hear my boss. They kept talking over him and asking him to repeat stuff. So powerful.
