  • My fellow 'Muricans, do you prefer metric or standard measurements?

    Jump

  • It depends on what I'm doing.

    Baking: metric - grams on a food scale help me replicate recipes perfectly.

    Cooking meat: standard - 140°F steak, 165 chicken

    3D printing: metric always

    Woodworking/household: standard - inches are just the standard for all the things. Wood, curtains, hardware, etc

    Mechanical: ??/?? Depends on where it's made! I hate having to switch wrenches or sockets due to the wrong standard.

  • This doesn't stop the drastic drop in popularity (and potentially development) of FOSS apps.

    Lack of users means lack of donations.

    We need to stop this BS instead of just trying to get a workaround.

  • Underpromise and overdeliver.

    I was a Webmaster 15 years ago. I learned very quickly not to say how long anything takes.

    Qoute 3~5 times the wrench time. Then report when you like.

  • Might be so. He said it in the first person so it could've been BS.

  • My ex brother in law is a commercial refrigeration tech. He did a emergency call to a restaurant that was losing temp on thier walk in freezer. Loaded with food that needed to be kept under freezing. Time was of the essence or all the food would be tossed due to health codes.

    He came out diagnoses it. Qoutes a few grand to fix it. Approved. Then he fixes it in like 15min. Just tightened a single screw.

    The owner was pissed he paid a few grand for 15min and a single screw tweak.

    Tech looked at him and said he paid for it to be fixed. The fact that the fix was a single screw and which screw needed tweaking was specialized knowledge. He paid for the knowledge not the time.

    I took that lesson to heart working in IT or really any field. Even when hiring people to do stuff for me. Sometimes it's not just the labor it's also the knowledge.

  • I find some places now wait a few days to kick in the good sales. Then stagger it to by 25%, 50%, 75%, 90%

    Its a game to figure out the sweet spot between discount and selection.

  • I don't use tree supports much so I was hyper focused on the tree...

    Oddly branches tree. Doesn't look organic. Not a tree? Is it like one of those finger hand things? With tiny hands at the top?

    Hands look like they're holding up a- oh shit they're tree supports!

    PSA: stop doom scrolling right when you wake up.
