How any large organization gets away with not using YYYY-MM-DD format is beyond me.
Taking over some of my previous directors files is like chaos.
How anybody publishing entire internet memos without a date being on the first page is beyond me. Like wtf am I reading a PDF from 15 years ago or last month?
Project Manager x QA = The TA… I thought it was astronauts floating around in space or some shit lol.
Theyre the only people to help during actual disasters though. Good luck getting the fucking Red Cross out short of anything but a federally declared disaster.
Do the math yourself. The answer is there lol.
According to this it takes about 50 tons of PE granules to make about 40 Kilometers of clingfilm.

Moar plastic manufacturing. Thickness of 2/10,000 of an inch. Plastic is crazy cheap and efficient compared to other methods.

Plastic bags. Full roll is 348 lbs which makes 35,000 bags.

If you’re wondering about crude to plastic efficiency…
It takes about 0.4 gallons of crude oil to make one pound of plastic, which means that 11 million metric tons of plastic equates to approximately 9.7 trillion gallons of oil.

A nice copout answer from the US Government lol.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) is unable to determine the specific amounts or origin of the feedstocks that are actually used to manufacture plastics in the United States.

This oil website even busts their chops on it lol.
This fact itself raises questions such as, “How many barrels of oil go into plastic packaging?” A question that is quite difficult to answer. The Energy Information Administration absolutely refuses to answer it, saying that it collects no data in this segment. Yet data from a few years ago, when the EIA still collected information about this, shows that in 2010 some 191 million barrels of LPG and NGL were used for the production of plastics along with 412 billion cu ft of natural gas. The liquids amount constituted about 2.7 percent of the country’s total petroleum consumption. Most of the natural gas used in plastics production was used as a fuel rather than feedstock.
Plastics production accounts for about 4 percent of global oil production. That’s according to figures for 2012, so now it may well be higher.
Some interesting glass to plastic energy efficiency info, not discounting their completely different use cases.
The total energy required to produce, package, and transport a 16 oz. PET container is 32 MJ compared to 34 MJ for a 16 oz. glass container – virtually the same. Producing a pound of plastic resin, however, uses nearly nine times the energy of producing a pound of glass. These comparisons assume the use of virgin glass.
Xbox controller drift
Really? That’s usually the quickest issue my controllers have with occasionally sticky thumb buttons. I’d gone through so many I just get Blue PowerA controllers now. They’re better than $200 ones for 1/8 the price, and have great warranties.
Stick drift and non optimal buttons are instant killers for any decent platformer.
God I hate this so much. It’s especially frustrating on mobile where it takes like thirty seconds to try to get the right part of the text copied and use the fucking magnified blue dots… Ugh.
For those unaware how Health Insurance works in the states.
You can have health insurance all you want. Especially if this bill is recent, they will cover a large part of the cost, but most people are still on the hook for Usually between $1000-1500 of all healthcare before insurance REALLY kicks in. This is called the Deductible (and Out of Pocket) expense. You also pay a ‘Premium’, essentially a subscription cost that normally comes directly out of your paycheck.
For single coverage, just yourself, it’s about $1200. For family coverage, where your insurance covers everyone in your house, It’s usually double that. So ~$2,500-3,000.
So this person probably hasn’t had any bills yet this year. Once they pay about $1500 in costs, everything after that becomes (mostly) free. Depending on what you have, insurance will pay anywhere from only 80% - 100% of the cost from whatever the procedures and meds are.
Then funny part is that some places in America the cost is so high, this might be a situation where their insurance DID kick in already and their insurance is still making them pay that much. Or it’s a case where you get a bill for that much but your insurance hasn’t paid it yet… so it looks like you’re supposed to… so you do… then two months later you get a check for that amount.
It’s so. Damn. Silly. And I resent Republicans every day for it. That’s not even the Fascist MAGA Theocracy republicans. Just your stock standard ones lmfao.
Span of control is always an issue. There’s a reason why it varies heavily from team/org.
Please tell me you look skyward, shake your fist and yell damn you!!!
Then it’s not binding and they’re just waiting for the class action. Which will win, but they’ll still be richer in the end.
I’ve also never, never seen someone test positive on the first day of symptoms. Sometimes on the second, but almost always on the third.
The CDC bitching out to corporations by saying test on the first day so people can keep going to work sick is still insanity. I really wish they allowed people to throat swab since it’s supposed to be more effective, but I’m sure they’re worried about our litigious culture saying we’re trying to choke Republicans to death with microchips.
Reveal them. I’ll give you one Christmas cookie.
Spoken like a true Grammarly AI tool for all those extra words.
They’re practically useless if you’re going for nice prose and emphasis…
There are many kinds of airplanes!
There are sooooooo~ many kinds of airplanes! 🛬🛫 🛩️✈️
whether they did it on purpose, or noticed and didn’t fix it, or most likely never gave enough of a shit to even try in the first place.
That’s about as succinct as it gets when describing these types. I’ll need to remember it.
A largely disproportionate pool of the Idiot drivers* are just truck drivers lol.
This just shows the laziness and incompetence of truck drivers. I could see this being an easy mistake to make since he’s pretty close on all the lines, but it really doesn’t take that long to correct it when you get out of your truck lol.
Without more context, at least he parked away from others in an empty part of the lot.
And yet it’s still relevant because HAM radio operators are weird like that.
