Honestly, I picked up a few of those on a lark, and they’re great to have in the drawer. Anytime I’m trying reach down and get just a little bit out of a deep and mostly empty jar of salsa, honey, or whatever, that soda spoon is the perfect thing. Never used 'em to eat an ice cream float, but lovely for other purposes.
I do the same… I have a few of these and had no idea they were called “soda spoon”. I called them “long spoon” because I didn’t know the name.
This is also the perfect thing for these bottles of sauce that are too deep for a regular tea spoon, and the mouth of the bottle is too narrow for a table spoon, this works really well.
I work on a system of cart karma. I try to use carts that are abandoned in the lot. I try to return them most times but I don’t always. As long as I put away more than I take then my contribution is net positive.
I am not sure about that. In any given grocery store parking lot, in my experience, the vast majority of our carts get returned and we have an enormous asshole population here in America. I wouldn’t say unreturned carts is a huge problem here either
My samsung laptop has no way to change the backlight fron Linux so it stays off. If only there were a way to this in a standardised way (acpi) samsung?
“Look human! I bring you prize. Is Copperhead. It was slithering across lawn like ‘Ha ha! I am Copperhead. I am king of world! You will not mess with me because I will bite you and you will die!’ Stupid Copperhead does not know that I am cat and I mess with anything that moves just for funsies. So, I kill it and bring to you so you may bask in awe of my skill as hunter of dangerous prey. You are impressed, yes? Yes. Of course you are.” – My Cat (the Russian Mobster of Animals), Probably

“For a small number of people, the disease could be fatal.” Is three million people a small number? And as others have pointed out, the pandemic isn’t over. who.int/…/the-true-death-toll-of-covid-19-estimat…
I don’t want to be that guy because it is a big number. However, in terms of the human population, there are 8 billion of us and when it comes to the difference between a million and a billion. It is about a billion. So about 0.04% of the human population. Terrible tragedy, yes however it is true.
Calculating impact by dividing the number of deaths caused by a thing that has existed for 4 years over a population size that includes people more than 100 years old won’t arrive at any sort of meaningful number. That’s why you use rates, or per capita, or some other way of adjusting for population size and time. COVID 19 is the third most common cause of death in the US in 2020 and 2021. Calling one of the most common causes of death a small number of people is grossly inaccurate.
Last time this shit came up, some dude chimed in that walking around the parking lot collecting lose carts was the best part of his day, since he could be outside away from managers slowly collecting them relaxing.
It was hit or miss at previous jobs. I worked at Kmart for a few years and would often help the stock guys round up carts in the evening. During summer evenings it was kind of fun wandering way out into that concrete sea with the boys, rounding up impossibly far carts and running the wrong carts (or electric scooters) back to the grocery store next door. But during the winter it was hell on fucking earth, and I’d help them round them up just to spare them the agony of a slipped disk.
I live in Canada now and couldn’t imagine rounding up carts during these cold snaps. You’d probably stick to them, imprisoning you in parking lot until you succumb to frostbite.
This is why I never ever put carts away. Give those poor kids something better to do than stand inside and listen to bitching customers while they bag their groceries.
They don’t even need to push the carts. They just walk around with a little machine that does the pushing while they bop around with their headphones on enjoying the fresh air.
