DeeplyConcerned posted:Careful, whoever you put in touch with Batudak is likely to get sucked into providing a lifetime supply of -1000000 liters of beer. Do you have what it takes to make negative beer? My friend I have decades of experience manufacturing negative beer. I can provide a resume and references if needed. edit: for example, see my av text. That was rewarded for manufacturing quite a bit of negative beer one night. I believe I may have also manufactured some negative whisky as well.

I think the most incredible part of this is how readily it demonstrates that there’s nobody left at Tesla who can tell Elon “no”. You just know he kramered into some meeting being run by actual adults interested in producing automobiles and went “Hey guys, I loving love beer, why don’t we make a Tesla beer?”, and everyone in the room nervously looked around at each other before going, “Yes sir, Mr. Musk, you are a genius.” Meanwhile, over in Legal, the lawyer who will inevitably end up defending the company after someone gets drunk on Tesla beer and drives their Tesla car into a school bus full of orphans (which the FSD system thought was a hat) feels a chill run down their spine.

Lawyers could give a poo poo as long as your check clears when the bill comes. This wouldn't apply to in-house council though, poor bastards.

You gotta appreciate the supercar brand level of grift. You put some beer in a special bottle, name it for you brand, and proceed to sell it for eye popping prices. Barely any effort, huge return on investment.

The entirety of utility vegetation management is a guy who works with trees explaining to a person who has only ever worked with power lines and power generation that trees do in fact, grow, and it will in fact, cost a shitload more money to fix a NERC line if it flashs over a tree then it will to just trim the tree. Literally every other cycle, some genius at every utility looks at the balance sheet and decides that the triangle choice of "scope, cost, time" can be solved by just stuffing your fingers in your ears and shouting lalalalalala. Two cycles pass and then that somewhat older genius discovers that unfucking thousands of miles of lines with emergency tree work is ludicrously, mind boggling expensive.

Looking like I may be able to start going to the general manager for things I need instead of having to rely on the old system of having to constantly remind the restaurant manager that I need something while he puts it off/forgets it for several days. Good thing, because there's no way I'd be able to do inventory from the US.

I saw an A&M team put a ML model to use for predicting where vegetation maintenance was needed and when it would cause a problem. According to those researchers & students, it was remarkably accurate. Let's see if they do something with this! lol

I just ran into my favorite situation, explaining our dumb processes to somebody whose first language isn’t English. First they assume that there must have been a mistake in communication, it couldn’t possibly be the dumb way I said it was. We go back and forth with me finding other ways to phrase “pneumatic manifold adapters are not available in this entire building.” You may have two doctorates, but you still have to learn nano-gallons.

Hi! Do you live/work anywhere around Austin, Texas? You know where residents bitched, whined, moaned any time the utility people sent tree trimmers out to the point the utility folks and tree trimmers threw up their hands and said "Fine! You don't get to bitch when they all fall on the power lines at once!" And then we had a major ice storm where, wouldn't you know it, years of untrimmed branches fell on power lines, knocking the Austin grid offline longer than most anywhere else hit? All while the utilities and tree trimming companies laughed their asses off and asked "So how important is the feel of your neighborhood now that you don't have heating or electronic entertainment in sub-freezing weather?" Grew up there and now live just south and it was hilarious watching those NIMBY assholes choke on the mess they'd ignored.

I'm pretty sure there's a version of this in every industry. And it's never, EVER not hilarious watching someone find out that regularly scheduled, routine work costs $totally_reasonable while emergency work that bumps the scheduled poo poo costs $HOLY_FUCK Another version of this: previous employers calling you back in to do something that you straight up told them needed to be done before you left. It's been documentation for me in the past. Like, you had me before at $wage, if you'd asked me a week later you could have had me at my reasonable $consulting_fee that's not that much more than what I was being paid, but now you're asking me to come in RIGHT THE gently caress NOW because of an audit or some poo poo (which has been scheduled for months) so hey, now you get to pay me $emergency_consulting_fee.

Why defrost a freezer regularly when you can just, uh, wait for it to fail then buy a newer, shittier one!! I also dedicated an entire week before I left my previous job to transfer and knowledge that needed to be transferred. Literally no one asked me anything. I then got emails up to 4 months after I left from a previous coworker asking me about stuff, including something that happened a loving year before I left.

One of the best feelings in my life - right up there with my wedding - was when a lovely boss I'd had who poo poo on my attempts to organize our documentation every chance he could called me two months after I left to ask where something was. The best part was the job had been criminally under-paid and I loving know it killed him to authorize my (quite reasonable) consulting fee.

Alkydere posted:Hi! Do you live/work anywhere around Austin, Texas? The year before Sandy hit the Northeast there was a massive freak snowstorm in October, still early enough in the season to have green leaves on a number of trees and caused a bunch of outages and damage. In the summer we got hit with Irene and had an even worse time where people were without power for over a month due to the number of downed trees. Everyone got mad at the government and the private companies that managed the power lines and so there was a big panel and report in Connecticut, which got hit incredibly hard, to determine what caused this and how to fix it before the next year. The number one recommendation was to go all out on tree removals as we had one of the thickest tree canopies in the country and having lines and branches colliding with each other in even mild winds is pretty common. By the time the power companies were trying to clear trees and trim branches people had somehow forgotten about what happened the previous year and were refusing to let the companies and state do any trimming because those were THEIR trees and no one was going to cut THEIR TREES! So Sandy comes in and the rural parts of the state were without power for a week or two and people complained yet again that the state/power companies needed to do something to keep this from happening. And again, newspaper articles and local TV stories about people fighting those entities on THEIR TREES are popping up in the spring.
