Yeah because people afraid of vaccines never grow up…

But can you trust onions?

Same can be said of let the bodies hit the floor and it’s raining men

If they didn’t kill everyone, it’s possible one of them would be able to prove there were no drugs and this is just racism…

Really? When I go to the bank they have a card machine there, insert card, enter pin, teller does order and if it’s over $1000 require a state issue id also…

Except you also have to have your card/phone and know your pin. It’s actually one of the hardest places to steal from.

I have an uncle who used to do security for a major department store. This was over 40 years ago. They had an issue where entire racks of clothes were going missing. One time it was even two complete pallets, not even unpacked yet, they were received and then just missing. After the investigation they discovered a guy had clothes that looked similar to their uniform walked in confidently, released the locks on the wheels of the rack, rolled it into the back, another guy pulled up in a van, they put the whole rack in the back and drive off. He kinda looked like he belonged so no one questioned him.

The pallets, again same guy just walked into back room found a forklift, picked them up, loaded them into a rental truck and drove off.

Stealing is easy, it’s not getting greedy and being able to not get caught is the issue.

I agree with the trillionaire and billionaire comments, but I don’t understand why taking your money makes you feel like you’re stealing?

It’s like making a batch of cookies, putting them in a tin, later going back and taking some cookies out of the tin to eat.

Some of it was probably due to being in a low volume high profit market. We had close to a 10x cost to profit ratio, and the profit per unit was 10s of thousands. Although alot of that went into R&D and quality etc.

There are tons of ways to cut cost often. Another example is one time I bought a device to detect air/gas leaks. It was 1000 dollars. I walked through our production measured the leaks, fixed them(most were push on connectors so pull off, cut tip, reinsert, typically leak was done), took about an hour. Per the sensors software saved about 175k. Also prevented my company from having to buy a new compressor for about 750k as our current one was close to the limit of what it could support.

Makes sense

While date rap and sexual violence is horrible… Do these drugs have any real value?

Like yes they can be used for date rape but are also given anti-anxiety or ant-nausea or anything like that?

I used to be on the gross margin improvement team. Basically our job was to implement projects which reduced cost.

I don’t think a single person’s job was eliminated because of my work. I remember creating about 35 jobs. For example I had a project where I identified about $900k in potential savings per year. We had to spend $50k one time and hire an employee for about $60k per year but still saved about $900k.

Employees are cheap(even expensive ones). Simple things like hire an employee to check something at step 3 so you are not paying people to do steps 4-20 will easily pay for itself if that issue at step 3 happens enough. Like for example that’s the whole point of unit testing software. Pay someone to write tests all day everyday even at an high salary, say $150k reduces costs of tech support, reduces cost of later testing, improves value of product, increases sales etc. If you want to be negative this is value stolen from the worker. But if an employee doesn’t make you a profit, why are they a employee? Like if you pay $70k for an employee who causes $50k in revenue… Fire them and make yourself a 20k raise. Now if you pay someone $70k and they make you $700k that’s immoral…

I agree but it would of been funny as hell if it happened like that… Or better yet, like a TV show… “actually we did some research and found out she is actually your mother who gave you up for adoption while in college. And we have her here today to meet you for the first time since you were 4 days old…”

Obviously this is rediculous but imagine if by chance the Huff Post reporter’s mother was actually a senior international politics negotiater…

Like Karoline says “your mom” and the reporter is like “that’s rude and unprofessional”. Karoline then replies “no, you misunderstand. Your mom, Mary, was the main negotiater at the table for the USA. She did a fantastic job. She didn’t tell you?”

You know every time I’ve had any medical work done I’ve digitally signed my consent for them to treat me and to bill me…

Can we also wipe out all medical debt and then sue the hospitals for treating without consent?

Yeah, it wouldn’t be bad if it was done correctly (a little slack and a service loop) but they did everything super tight. What makes it worse is a bad cable is often an intermittent issue and we are a low volume high profit company who can not retest so every time a cable goes bad it’s typically several thousand in lost product.

See cable management is great when done correctly. At my job we had a audit complaint that there were too many wires on the ground which would make it difficult to clean under them. Management told all the techs to do cable management so the wires were not dangling. The techs did as told so now we keep getting wires failing because they are super tight and strained. No one mentioned a service loop or anything of the sort. In addition now it takes like 2 hours to replace the bad wire because you have to undo all the wire management, replace the wire and redo all 400 Ip ties.

I agree and haven’t returned but lemmy hasn’t hit critical mass yet… Like I don’t recall a post with over a hundred replies. Reddit used to have over a thousand on every reply on the first page.

Well it’s also a learning project as through a series of events I am technically a software developer in job title who got thrown into a c# code base with databases after doing a python boot camp for 9 weeks and have no mentor to tell me what I’m doing wrong on professional projects.
