God it’s like all these tech demo folks have never heard of rehearsal or prep.

What? No, it worked in our giant warehouse, why would we want to do a dry run on location?

Also, people don’t really get how much dna there is or why so much overlaps. There are instructions for ALL the bits. Cells need instructions on what a cell is before they can start adding instructions for extra features like muscles or skin or fingernails, before you can add instructions for where those special cells go. And weirdly, kind of everything living is made out of cells. It’s why we’re also really similar to bananas.

There’s a difference between “what makes a species” and “in this species, some of us have blue eyes”

A ford focus and a ford f-150 are 98% the same vehicle, but among the F-150s, some might have power windows, some might not have ac, some might be a stick shift, some might have leather seats, but you won’t confuse any of them with a Focus

After 5 generations, your great-great-great-grandpa-truck’s options are mostly gone, but you’ve still got gran-gran’s lighting package.

Oh awesome, thanks for posting that. Maybe it wasn’t ladybird. I swear there was some ground-up browser project that was like 2 years in and then went “yo guys this is actually hard”

My understanding was that they gave up, but I’m too lazy to search to verify that.

Arby’s mozzarella sticks are like 10 times better than Applebees, fyi. It feels like that shouldn’t be true but it is.

Okay I can see this. I’d need a lot of practice one-handed-typing to make this more efficient, but I can see how you’d get there with intentional training or constant repetition

There are two regular answers to this.
1. People who learned spreadsheets back in caveman times with Lotus instead of (before, I guess) excel. Which, okay sure. I’m happy excel accommodates you.
2. The plus button on the numpad is easier to press. If this is your reason, then you’re just letting me know you never took a typing class or bothered learning anything beyond the letters. I’m not saying the numpad isn’t faster for numbers, but if you don’t need letters why are you making a formula?

The absolute best thing that could happen for you in an American election is for the people opposed to you setting up an alternative party. The system is set up so that whoever can roll the most viewpoints into a single katamari ball will win.
You need ranked choice or some other non-first-past-the-post system before you can entertain the idea of breaking off from your clump. Without that, the only viable option is to hijack your clump’s decision making and hope you don’t scare away too many

Clinton Bush and Obama are still along the previous tend line. The first trump is below the line but still within the margin of the earlier presidents who were under. Only the last two really deviate. Arguably you could say Obama deviates in the other direction.

So this is pretty misleading. You could get a flat line if you only looked at Tyler to Buchanan, too. Or JFK to Reagan

I mean I’m fully on the ACAB side, but the first clip is clearly sped up. It looks like he was trying to just separate the two of them by pulling her by the arm, and she tripped, and it escalated from there. Why in the world would you have the officer whose attention is at least half on controlling a dog be the one to exercise physical control of a suspect is another question entirely.
But it looks like bad decisions on everyone’s part let it turn into a mosh pit. Incompetence not malice.

There’s a circus academy a few blocks from my house, and we’re like “hey, the kid is into gymnastics, what’s a class there look like?” and oh no, it’s like a super serious full time “this is your life now” commitment for like many years. No silly extra-curricular program here.
Made me look at all the cars in the parking lot with a lot more respect though.

See my reply to my own comment with further numbers.
As a cashier, no not really.
As a sales person, you absolutely see costs.
As a manager, yes, I do see all of that.
I’ve managed retail big and small, and you absolutely know when your owners are making hand over fist vs pouring it out to keep the lights on. Neither feels great.

(A little more than that because the employer pays some of the wage tax, so we’ll generously say they made $6,500 on me)
If there are 10 other salespeople with similar performance and wages, then the company made $65,000 that single day. Let’s say there are 10 other non-sales-related staff members working, at $20/hr that’s $1,600, we’ll round to $2k.
$63,000. Rent for a space this size on the top end is gonna be ~$5-6k/day
Where goes the other $57,000?

$ sales minus $ “COGS” (cost of goods sold) = profit

There’s some other stuff to take into account, like facility costs and whatnot, but when the numbers get real out-of-whack, it’s easy to tell that that isn’t what your work is paying for.

For instance, if I’m spending a day selling $10,000 worth of stuff, that cost the company 30% of its sale price, I made the company $7,000 before non-sale-related costs. At $20/hr, I cost the company $160 for that 8 hour shift
