Oh someone mentioned it under Washington, but cash n carry is gold too. It’s a restaurant supply store and is better for bulk imo than Costco because it’s just food and kitchen supplies. Easier to walk in and buy what you need then leave than Costco.

Also, no membership needed

Also sorry if I seemed like a dick. The poppycock thing sounded funny in my head but on reread came across condescending.

Oh poppy cock. Oregon has some pretty diverse grocery options most of them cheaper than Kroger and Albertsons.

For example, corvallis, has a winco, Walmart market, grocery outlet, and traders Joe’s, all of which I can easily spend less at than Safeway or Fred Meyer, which is the big Kroger brand in Oregon.

Then there’s also, university market and natural grocers, 15 minutes down 22 there’s an iga, locally owned chains designed to be close to certain housing, smaller, a little more expensive.

Then there’s the Asian (like HK) and Indian (like Desi) markets. There used to be a Mexican grocery they’re but it shut down. I’m certain you’ll have one in Portland though. These places have amazing specialty ingredients as well as some great deals on standard stuff.

Finally there’s a market of choice which is traditionally expensive, but occasionally has some seriously good deals.

My husband had a nasty cold and the self scan he was using we later found out should have had an out of order sign on it. After missing the fact that it wasn’t dinging for every item because he couldn’t hear well, they pulled him and had him arrested. His total was off by $100 and he should’ve realized it, admittedly, but he just wanted to get home. We were able to get them to drop the charges because the self check out was malfunctioning but he’s still banned from Walmart.

I’m in Oregon. Straight down the i-5 from Portland, which is where I understand it to have started

I can say that all 4 of my dogs caught it.

They’re still alive, but my 13 year old has not and probably won’t return to full function. He’s got some pretty significant scarring on his lungs. We are in one of the affected states, and they caught it from the neighbors’ dogs who brought it home from the groomers.

It’s definitely in my area.

Do you know how many companies use just organic, and not “usda certified organic”

Most

It’s always funny when people make bad jokes, and insist it’s everyone else who has a shitty sense of humor.

Jokes are funny

The company I work for now has very much this attitude for the last 50 years.

As a result they have 3 locations, no sops, and no accountability.

Over the last 6 months is been my job to put us back in compliance with local and federal reporting requirements and develop SOPs. The feedback from the bottom up is that it’s wonderful to have consistency, different bosses giving the same answers to questions, auditors being able to complete audits in expected and appropriate times, and in compliance with reporting regulations.

Can companies go overboard and employ people like me who do busy unnecessary work? Absolutely. But it is definitely appropriate to have a couple of administrators.

No company holds themselves back from viable improvement because of a timeline thrown out at the beginning. What a weird take.

What is more likely “nope wecan’t make a change yet, this better product is out on every other peice of tech we and our competitors used, but someone said 10 years 2 years ago so we’re gonna wait another 6 to begin development”

Or

“This product is so serviceable enough for charging a phone and as long as we keep it we can continue to make significant money off of proprietary connectors”

They upgraded the iPad because the lightening was no longer a viable charging cable, the tech couldn’t keep up. And the EU has been threatening to establish a standard since the 30pin was in service, because it locked out competition back then. It became a serious issue to deal with after dongles became standard.

Edit: Oh God it’s you. 4 days later and another hot shit take. Apparently I need to block you to improve my lemmy experience.

Honestly, it’s worth skipping season 7 if you do make it that far. The leviathan are one of the worst television plots in history imo. That said it gets pretty decent again for a few seasons.

There’s an inherent negative connotation with third world, and that’s why usage is transitioning to developing. If it didn’t have a negative connotation, a softer term wouldn’t be necessary.

If you’re going to be this pedantic about the use of a term, then you should know that you’re talking about a developing country. And that the usage of the term “third world” at this point is inherently disparaging because it’s deviated from the original meaning to be used in exactly the context you’re complaining about. Because the term “third world country” in its original context has nothing to do with economic status, position in global politics, or large scale national problems it was originally used in context to their position in WW2. It only exists in that connotation as a derogatory term.

Fair

Oh yeah. The videos are horrific imo

That’s what kills me about people who rag on Americans.

We order our dates the way we say them, and we use a temperature system is a great way to describe feeling heat.

I’ve got no defense for imperial measurements beyond scooping up a cup of flour is easier than dumping it on a scale.

But people spend more energy shitting on the cultural norms of Americans than anyone else (especially Europeans) and then spend a lot of time telling us we have no culture.

Wait, you mean the last 2 are, in all fact, the same, exact, thing?

This is where justice would come in. Fixing the system so that resources are distributed automatically to provide everyone with equitable access to the tools

That’s actually where justice comes in.

Fixing the system so all people have equal access automatically under the system
