@Tikiporch@lemmy.worldcreatorto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Can you give me some tips about your niche hobby?6•20dGood one. I struggled for years with a monoprice printer I basically got for free because Rakuten marketplace was shutting down and I had to use my rewards. I recently got a Bambu printer as a gift and it’s so much better at the same tasks, plus the additional features make me regret spending time upgrading my MP10.
@Tikiporch@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•You have one (1) free teleportation that must be used within the next 24 hours or it disappears forever. Do you use it? Where do you go?38•4MI’d assume a cannonball shape and teleport myself into the body of any living murderous dictator (you can pick). I assume the sudden materialization of a 6’ tall, 200 lb human inside another human’s viscera would be a bit like swallowing a bomb. Even if it’s more a case of chimeric horror, the result is the same so I’m OK with it.
@Tikiporch@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the dumbest way you've seen someone get fired?41•5MI fired someone for ignoring their work, falsifying the records, and instead driving around all day in the company van playing Pokémon Go. Yes, the van has GPS. Yes, they were aware of this fact.
I should add, they had worked there for nearly 30 years, and transferred to my team. The individual had probably been shirking their duty in this way for their entire career, but the Pokémon Go thing was going on for several years at least. Their previous manager didn’t look into why someone with barely any customers was always so busy.
I think there are secret grades of retail products and stores get these differently graded products based on the “tier” of store they are. So Dollar General candy maybe didn’t pass QA to be sold at, say, Harris Teeter. I’m not talking about selling a package with less candy in it. I mean, for example, that the candy at the Dollar General may inexplicably have a higher percentage of adulterants or slightly off on flavor so it gets assigned C grade so it goes into packages of candy sold at C grade markets.
It’s probably not a conspiracy so much as I don’t know what industry jargon to search for to find out more information.
@Tikiporch@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What’s your “I can’t believe other people don’t do this” hack?2•7MHoly cow, we have the same problem. I only got firstnamelastname@gmail.com so I only get folks with permutations of my first and last name, but to this day I still get my Nigerian counterpart’s bank statements. I’ve got my UK counterpart’s PayPal payments for artwork they did. I’ve had my Australian counterpart’s job recruiters reaching out to me for months. It’s kind of embarrassing when I tell them they have the wrong email…
Subwoofers are an afterthought for the industry.
