kinda. the device in your image only does the job of weighing product, and applying a price per weight to the measurement and printing a barcode label based on that. the 4011 will probably only be used by cashiers, who usually have a number pad to enter those numbers into the point of sale system, instead of a button for each possible number. the device in your image is probably designed like that because it’s for customers and easier to operate. there is probably a chart somewhere out of frame that translates those numbers into products.
My understanding is that it’s not that simple. By your logic, humans also have several brains. for example, your spine is doing some processing on the signals from your limbs. it’s how that reflex works when the doctor hits your knee with a hammer. the signal travels to your spine, the spine recognizes some pattern, and returns a signal to jerk your leg. the signal doesn’t need to reach your head to trigger the reflex. basically, your whole nervous system is the brain, it’s just that the vast majority of your nervous system is inside your head.
it’s the same for octopi, but much more extreme. I think they have like 50% of their nervous system in their ‘brain’, and the rest is distributed across their tentacles.
feel free to correct me, I wrote this entirely based on my memory so I might be off.
most grocery stores have a number system so that a cashier can punch in a number to ring up a certain product. this is especially useful for fruit and vegetables, as often times it doesn’t have packaging and doesn’t have a barcode. the vast majority of groceries use 4011 as the number for bananas.
I’d imagine it’s because the number 4011 is already used in production and logistics of bananas, so the grocery stores just stick to the barcode/number that bananas already have on their box when they get delivered. that’s just a guess though.
Why do people keep doubting you?! They are the exact same but a little bit smaller. Nobody bats an eye when we say that lions and tigers are cats… people are dumb.
Being german, I’ve already heard this joke a thousand times, but it’s so true that it makes me laugh every time. I think many germans are big on sarcasm, where arguably the main part of the joke is the complete seriousness of whoever makes the joke.
My mom still uses a Miele vacuum that she got gifted by my grandma when my mom moved out. That was almost half a century ago. It’s definitely worth it to check second hand marketplaces for old models
Most artists put their stuff up on YouTube anyways so you can give it a listen before you decide to buy. And I think buying each track makes you appreciate the music more but also makes you more critical because you want to get your money’s worth.
Regarding it being expensive, considering that with the money you spend on Spotify you can buy an album each month, I don’t think it’s too bad
Carceral housing law arose from a transformation in federal law enforcement, in which the U.S. government encouraged the merging of policing and welfare, and policing became driven primarily by profit
