  • The OS desktop environment has stagnated over the past 15 years.

    Many businesses have transitioned from a 3-4 year rotation on desktops/laptops to every 5-6 years today. Hell my work laptop is 6 years old and I don’t forsee replacing it for another 3-4 years. For work functions there is no significant improvement to upgrading more frequently today.

    So if they launched W12 next year, widespread adoption will likely not occur until 2032-2033 or at the Win11 EOL whichever comes first.

    The developers today are working on a system that will not become mainstream for 8+ years. They want to launch in the next 2 years knowing it will not be adopted for years.

    They ignoring the reality of today’s market and building to meet the latest fads. It’s Windows 8 all over again.

    Its a fucking stupid and manipulative question for the employer to ask. No employer should give a fuck if somebody took a couple years to travel, take care of family, or just couldn’t find a job.

    What they are really asking "Are any of the time gaps in your job history, a job that you got fired from with cause? "

    Instead of being little shits about it just ask the actual question straight out. The shock value of asking a real non-bullshit questions in an interview has paid off many times for me when hiring.


  • Now is the time to strike while the iron is hot.

    Tomorrow,

    “Hey boss, after unloading that truck yesterday with the pallet jack, my back is really sore. If it doesn’t ease up I might need to go to the doctor today.”

    Next safety meeting/safety suggestion box in a week or two.

    “I really think the company should invest in electric pallet jacks. They are not that expensive and will cut down on potential lower back injuries.”








  • It adds flex to the container for variations of atmospheric pressure. It’s what they mean by the fill levels.

    Milk containers are filled by weight. The exact volume of the liquid can vary slightly based upon the atmospheric pressure.

    If the container has no flex the top will pop off or the sides will crush in with pressure changes say when a truck drives over a mountain pass to deliver the milk.

    They have been proven multiple times to significantly decrease productivity but they are cheaper to build. Visual and sound distractions break up concentration when you are tying to work.

    I had one place that insisted on an open office with these these torture style “ergonomic” chairs. I hated the setup so did some sleuthing. The chair model was discontinued because they sucked and the company got them on a steep discount. The “open office” desks where 1/8 the price of a traditional cubical setup.

    Strange, what mysterious land is this where farm laborers are paid fairly. I have traveled to every continent and 40+ countries visiting thousands of farms. Never have I found a place where farm laborers were paid fairly. They are always the abused serfs of the society working long hours for little pay.

    I have seen human suffering in vast quantities but never a fair wage.




  • The USDA-NASS is responsible for making an estimate of the number of corn cobs in the U.S. Most other countries have similar organizations.

    To do so they send surveys out to ask farmers what they think. The farmers answer completely truthfully because lying would inflate the prices they get on their corn cobs.
