That’s the landlord’s problem.

Yeah, that was my first thought.

Which is exactly why the ruling capitalist class is trying so hard to not let that happen. Must consume. Line must go up.

What’s with the wedding ring?

Helps strangers think I’m trustworthy.

I’ll take open and indexable Reddit support forums over walled off Discord servers any day.

Work for a Fortune 500, ~$100b company. Still understaffed. The greed never ceases.

Ah, I can see how shelving limits could cause problems. Most libraries I’ve gone to only fill each shelf about 3/4 full to account for that. Thanks for the insights!

This is essentially the same as in the US. But one question

When you bring it back, you scan the book again and leave it on the shelf by the returns scanner. Because the book was removed from the inventory, it wont have a place on a shelf yet.

Do you not have a classification system that determines where a book should reside? US libraries (and others, I presume) use the Dewey Decimal System, which groups books into categories and such, and then finally alphabetically by author. So every book would have a general place to go, and then the specific place would be determined by the author’s last name.

Cool, but have you thought about using it for Tasker profiles?

Not even that long. According to “John Baron”, it was 2 weeks.

Trump surprised New York’s art community on June 5, 1980 when a demolition crew jackhammered the sculptures off of the building. In addition, the intricate grillwork was removed. The destruction drew a public outcry. The Met received no advance notice.

Trump initially avoided any comment about the Bonwit Teller artwork. But John Baron, a spokesperson with the Trump Organization, contacted the New York Daily News to discuss the situation. Baron informed the Daily News that “the merit of the stones was not great enough to justify the effort to save them.” Baron stated that the removal process could have set back Trump Tower’s construction timeline by two weeks. Baron also told the New York Times that he had no idea what happened to the ornate grillwork.

DHS says 8 US citizens among 9 arrested

8 is not “among” 9!

Anytime this topic comes up, I reshare this blog post. With things being “that bad” over a decade ago, I can’t imagine how much worse it’s gotten.

…he committed suicide. In a weird twist of fate, he overdosed on Tylenol.

OD’ing on Tylenol is a fucking terrible way to go.

Vague recollection of Rodney King & the LA Riots. After that would be the Northridge earthquake, because it woke me up.

Our patchwork of state laws makes it a clusterfuck. Also, even if employees should have protected time, it doesn’t prevent a shitty boss from using it as a pretext to fire you for something else that isn’t protected.

My woodshop class was before the sawstop came out. We had fairly open access to everything, but we just weren’t allowed to use the table saw. All cuts were done by the teacher.

I don’t know if any other machine comes close to a table saw for demanding my respect and full attention.

While not used nearly as often, a lathe can take a lot more than a finger.

Yeah, I typically use 1996 (unlikely to remember 9/11) to 2015 (in school for the pandemic).

Stephen Miller is a white supremacist.

We knew this, but the video is really well done and I just wanted to make sure it gets widely shared.
