the popes toes posted:Off loaded at Detroit, got picked for random rather unfriendly pat-down by TSA. While they patted me down, my carry-on that had my passport was stolen. Luckily, when the non-citizen thief went through customs she was unable to explain the American passport which customs returned to me. loving airports are cesspits. Why would someone steal your carryon? Like are people really in need of some underwear a couple shirts and a rumpled paperback. What is the thought process.

Ah whatever desperation is an awful thing. depends on the airport and time of day; a lot of times TSA for red eyes in smaller airports don’t have you take anything out of the bag or take off your shoes even if you don’t have the fancy upgrades

Lots of talk like this during/after the 2008 recession, too. The whole concept of a "natural" interest rate is kind of dumb anyway and it's one of those economic theories where any attempt at creating an empirical basis just leads to all kinds of contradictions or a value that mysteriously can't be measured precisely because it's made up It's reasonable in this case because what they want is rates at or near zero and a natural interest rate that's transitory is the particular justification that gets them there

I have the money and preference to get nice stuff rather than treat everything as disposable but there's not really a good method to do so, I dunno where you'd even start for most things outside of like, hiring a specific individual carpenter with a 10 year wait list to make you a nice table or such.

Kuhn Rikon Auto Safety Master Opener for Cans, Bottles and Jars has served us well for over a decade. you can stick the lid back on after opening if you only use part of the contents and it doesn’t leave sharp metal on the can or lid.

PoundSand posted:The best part is poo poo is p much just as expensive as the good stuff was before. Had a bonding moment with my mom the other day where I was looking for a simple kitchen gadget, a can opener, and it's like there's no amount of money I can offer to get a good one. There's branding that moves the pricepoint up and down but there's not a single one you can find online that doesn't have a bajillion 1 star reviews for a lemon falling apart after two uses. Clothing feels largely the same, like you can spend more money for a "better" brand but it's all made in the same place with the same methods and materials. Yeah, it sucks rear end that for lots of stuff there isn’t even an option to spend more to get something good that’ll last. Dropshipped plastic poo poo is the only thing available because anybody that made stuff that lasted either went out of business or got bought by private equity and stripped for parts.

That's kind of it, though. If you don't have the money/time/resources to hire and monitor specialized labor, then you're always buying some variety of mass produced garbage. Kitchen stuff is particularly bad, where we've run into some extremely high-end brands that are clearly coming off the same assembly lines as SEO word salad FBA products. It's the same poo poo you see in "luxury" developments that just use slightly more upscale-in-appearance builder grade garbage. The trick is that money to consume (ie, buy something off the shelf) is never real money no matter how much you have to spend. edit- I don't think this is entirely new, either. I think the huge surge in dropshipping and access to cheap factories for anyone with a few grand to spend is just exposing how little differentiation actually exists in most consumer-grade products.

Vox Nihili posted:Older guy working at Microsoft gets laid off after 33 years, immediately spouts praise for the company that shitcanned him director is level 66 or 67 so his base salary is probably about 350-450k plus another 50-60k a year in stocks and a 40-60k cash bonus for hitting performance targets along with stock refreshers. he also probably gets 60 days severance plus an extra 5-6 months' worth for all the years he's been there his net worth is likely 20-30 million dollars. maybe more if he was really responsible and invested well.
