High sugar content

Corona has 1g Sugar per bottle.

Angry Orchard has 20g Sugar per bottle.

Patches,

Yes but how will I feel good that I spent 140k on a piece of paper if I don’t brag about it?

Can confirm. Most chefs I know mostly eat alcohol after their shift is over. None of them are bartenders

Because Jen in accounting doesn’t believe in it, and Tom the CIO likes his data stored raw in TXT Amphibious Delineated. Then our biggest client prefers data as Jason so we swapped half of our database to that to speed things up.

But the real problem is high turnover because we don’t pay anyone enough to work on things they are proud of. After 2 years we stop doing even 3% COL raises so they go elsewhere. So every 2-4 years each position gets a new opinionated asshole.

Patches,

It’s not just the commute. You do the dishes and laundry during lunch and the ‘I don’t need to be here’ meetings so your free time is just that. Yours

Patches,

It’s not easy being an upstairs neighbor

Patches,

What’s wild is that you’ll see them get a night job, or have to stay up late on vacation a few times and they’ll be 100/10 miserable af. Never adapt to it, and still keep believing iTs aLl SeLf DiScIpLInE

Patches,

I’m just here for the free stuff.

Libby, Hoopla, Overdrive are all free and helps support the authors to make more books. Win win.

If you don’t like the borrowing format then just clone the epub after borrowing it. It isn’t difficult to do, and author still makes money.

It is a positive thing to talk through your emotions instead of bottling it up.

Patches,

Because most people these days still don’t know Edge is chromium based instead of Garbage based

Patches,

If college taught me anything, it’s that I can write thousands of words per night. Typically fastest in the wee hours of the morning.

None of these words are good, mind you, but they are in fact words.

What does that even mean?

You can’t even get the manufacturer to get updates past 6 months of being released.

Are people out there really writing their own firmware for smart watches?

Instructions unclear. I don’t think u/Aermis is coming back. He ded

Patches,

With that attitude…

What would make someone so disillusioned to believe Trump would be good for America

The same exact things that made them disillusioned 6 years ago? Their life is getting worse at an accelerated pace and have been for many decades now. The “System” does not work for them and they are tired of pretending it does.

Despite ‘Bidenomics’ - we, the working class, are poorer now than we have ever been. Trump is still a hand grenade to throw at the establishment.

They don’t believe the Democrats have their best interests, and a substantial number don’t believe Republicans have their best interests at heart - which is why it’s Trump or Bust. Trump represents to them what Bernie represented to Democrats - actual change.

But it doesn’t really matter what I, or anyone else, says. You’ve already decided what you think about all of these people.

Patches,

This is the one time it is a both sides issue.

Patches,

I mean we use scales from 0 to 100 in every field. -18 to 38 is a scale used absolutely nowhere.

But I agree Humans can get used to pretty much anything, and once they do - it’s all they will prefer over the unknown.

It means your temperatures are not compatible with human life. There is no confusion that 120% Hot would be “really fucking hot”.

Both of those temperatures mean you’re outside the human scale and should limit your time outside.

It’s pretty unclear that I can for a walk outside at 40 C but if I do that at 48C I might die.

Patches,

But why do I care when Water Boils at Sea level? What am I to do with that knowledge in my day to day? The 0-100 is irrelevant to me.

I’m dead long before water boils. And I’m very uncomfortable below water freezing but it won’t kill me quickly.

Fahrenheit is the way to go.

Taking this opportunity to argue why Fahrenheit over Celsius makes way more sense. Fahrenheit is essentially based on a scale of 0 to 100, which is a scale we use for most things in life. Yes we can go below 0 or above 100, but it’s such a perfect scale to understand exactly HOW hot or cold something is.

It’s 70 degrees outside? Wow, we’re at 70% heat. I bet that feels really nice and not too hot. Oh no it’s 100 degrees so we’re at 100% heat? Probably want to stay inside today. Water freezes once we get to 32%? Makes sense, that’s pretty cold. I’ll need to wear a winter coat. 0% outside? No way I want to go out in that.

In terms of understanding how how or cold it is outside, looking at the temperature as a number out of 100% is a perfect way of understanding that and having a frame of reference.

Celsius is so dumb. A 70 degree day in summer sounds great. 70% heat, not too hot, not too cold, just right. But convert that to Celsius? It’s 21 degrees in the summer? What does that even mean? Stupid.

Also because of the way the math works, the scale for Celsius makes no sense. It’s 0 degrees out in the U.S., that’s -18 Celsius. But if it’s 100 in the U.S., that’s only 38 Celsius? What kind of stupid scale runs from -18 to 38? 0 to 100 is the way to go.

Imagine if test scores ran from -18 to 38. Would you support this nonsensical scale then?

To be clear, I’m on board with the metric system and I definitely don’t think the U.S. does everything right. But Celsius is trash.

Patches,

They reached a point where they just decided to wrap this shit up. We’ve only got 10 minutes of screen time left.

Patches,

!They were going to kill Star Lord, and test screenings showed that didn’t go well and it shows. !<
