  AI, and more locally, a windfarm, that they’ve already anlnounced a rate hike ok .15 $/kw to subsidize (this is why i hate say it, but im glad trump canceled wind)
  Are why the residential solar company Im working for is more or less booked 2 years out right now, despite the tarifs.

  5 years ago, our clientele was people doing it for ideological/ environmental reasons, rich prepper types, or just techy nerd types. Now its small buisness owners and middle class families who know they can afford the next price hike but dont think theyll be able to afford the one after. Trust in the utility is gone.

  Used to go to a dive bar that had one of those built in cabinets for a fire extinguisher or whatever, that said in case of emergency break glass.

  Only it had a giant 4L bottle of Md20/20, flanked by a regular ones. When the bar shut down, be broke the glass and all took shots.

  My question is, did he mistake him for a nazi on the costume alone, or did the furry introduce himself as Aaron wolf (it says thats his furry name in small text at the bottom) and the greek guy misheard it as Aryan wolf?

  Im a hirsute guy, I use 2 just to dry off from my shower in the morning. Big fluffy one gets me 90% dry, then the second one gets me the rest of the way. Ive got those 2, one that lives in my work bag, and a full sized microfiber beach towel that does double duty for yoga mat during the winter.

  Had a rich girlfriend for a while. At one point her dad grounded her, litterally. Revoked access to use the family jet(s) (they owned one, but prefered to use a private company that would just have them wheels up from anywhere to anywhere in like an hour, without all the hassle of maintenance schedules, pilot vacation days, etc.) She was in her 30s and had complete meltdown over it. She even refused to go to their house on fisher’s island for christmass because she wouldnt fly first class. So we had to throw our own party on Nantucket, with like 60k worth of catering for 20 guests.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Transcribed text of Samantha Fulnecky's assignment, paper, and professor's comments⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The assignment was to respond in a way that showed she read it. She made 2 drive-by references to the paper before simply rejecting it out of hand and the talking about religion. I wouldnt really consider that doing the assignment at all. She might have well wrote a paper about gender roles in middle earth.

  Also, when reading that rubric, we have to remember this was a developmental psychology class. (which is more on the stats and hard science side of the discipline) A ‘clear tie in to the article’ is going to be discussing the psychological aspects and effects of gender roles and related bullying, and (possibly) its normatizing effects. Not a tie in to gender roles and bullying itself.

  And when the rubric asks for a “thoughtful reaction or response to the article, rather than a summary” its not asking for a surface level personal emotional / ideals reaction. Again, it is asking for an analysis of the psychology, and a reaction / response to how that compares to other psychological theories and concepts youve learned (one of which the Bible is not… maybe if this were a phil class)

  She could have rejected the concepts In the paper if she wanted, but done it citing psychology papers and theories. Im sure there are plenty of papers about successful gender conformity leading to increased satisfaction -males being happier when seen as more masculine by peers, bullying as a successful negative stimuli to more effectively train those behaviors which when sucessfully exhibited lead to that gender satisfaction, concepts of identity reinforcement through conformity, etc.

  Again, ‘clearly written’ for a developmental psychology class means a lot more than sentence structure. Its going to involve making logical assertions and citing scientific or at least historical psychological texts, and doing so in a concise manner.

  Personally, I think her paper should have gotten eitther somewhere between a 3-10/25 (1-3/10, 1-3/10, 2/5 for writing) (again hard to gauge exactly how far off the mark she was without knowing the article, or the level of rigor / leniency of the class

  or, been returned ungraded as incomplete, simply stating it failed to address subject matter.

  I used to work at a restaurant, where at the begining of service every night, chef would cut a couple onions into quarters, and throw them and a handful of cloves of garlic into the fryer. It would fill the whole building with that aroma, setting the mood, before wed started cooking fornthe night.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Someone has a LOT of dusty computers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I got a restaurant I worked at to buy a tank of N2O for staff.

  The kitchen staff kept huffing my beer gas (N2 & CO) despite multiple warnings and explanations that it wasnt getting them high, just suffocating them. Twice I found a guys passed out in the walk in, still holding the still running line. The gas is heavier than air, so it pools on the ground, and it was a small walk in that didnt cycle often, so this was really dangerous.

  I managed to convince the owner that buying a N2O tank for $300 and occasionally ‘forgetting’ to lock it up was way cheaper than the costs associated with a staff member dieing on premises, especially considering the health dept would almost surely force us to replace our old system and put in air testers and stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Attitudes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  To add, I think theres a difference between ‘im here to work in exchange for money’ and ‘im just here for 8 hrs to collect a check’

  I used to manage restaurants, usually with a pooled house (all tips get tallied together, and divided by percentage based on position, which always reminded me of the way it was done on old pirate ships)

  In these pooled houses it was always extremely obvious- youd have some servers touching other server’s tables, helping bus / run food when appropriate, etc. (Which is what the system is meant to incentivize- if your help gets the other waiter a better tip, thats more money in your pocket as well)

  And you’d have servers who did the bare minimum even for their own section, and saw it as ‘if i spend 8 hrs On the floor dokng the bare minimum to not sent home, I get my percentage of the pot, I dont even have to do a good job on my tables’

  Right now im running a residential solar crew, and weve got a couple guys who have a similar attitude; the moment they aren’t under a direct task, they just stop working. (Its not a matter of not knowing whats next, and prepping for that, they’ve been here almost a year now, and theres almost always something obvious to be doing next, even if its just grabbing the next box of materials.)

  I was once at a house party where the local PD showed up. The host asked if they jad a warrant, then immediately slammed the door in their face. They kicked down the door and he ran out the back.

  Within 10 mins, there were about 20 state troopers, with ARs aimed at the 6 local PD officers, forcing them to strip down out of their underwear (to prevent them from hiding any 'illegal objects lockpicka or weapons) and hauling them off in SUVs, while all of us in our late teens watched.

  Turns out the host was the nephew of Lt. Colonel of the entire state’s state police forces. So when he called in that armed assailants who must be pretending to be local Leo’s, since no officer would ever break down a door without a warrant, they were only too happy to respond with full force.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Corn or something idk⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Iirc, the hebrew word that gets translated to ‘lay’ is also a pretty suspect translation. Its only other usage in the OT (and our only other known context for it) is to describe a man pursuing his wife’s servant, and contextually, is more likely to mean ‘molest’ or ‘rape’ than to describe consensual sex.

  The 2 words translated to ‘man’ are also different- the first being ‘ish’ the second being ‘zachar’

  While both can generally refer to anyone male, ish can be used in the context of ‘anyone’, or ‘husband/ man of the house’, whereas Zachar is often used biblically to refer to young males, and /or subordinates.

  So put together, this passage is likely ‘nobody should be molesting boys,’ or ‘a master shouldn’t rape his servants or children’

  I think you have to clean it more. When water sits in the head, all those wet surfaces start growing mold and bacteria and stuff. When you Turn it on, some of the build up gets flushed out. So 1x a day means 24 hours of build up between flushings and minimal accumulation. 1x a week means 7 days worth of accumulation each time
