It'll be in reference to Putin's press releases (?) where he was super-imposed onto a greenscreen background to look like everything was normal in the Kremlin.
In some of the videos/livestreams you could occasionally see for example his hand phase through something that should be in the foreground.
I’m kinda surprised I’m seemingly in the minority of preferring self check. At least before they handicapped all the regular self checkouts and forced everyone to do self checkout. When it was truly optional, especially when it was “20 items of fewer” style, it was so much faster because I’m usually not buying a huge cart worth of items, and I can bag my own way. However now that Susan with her month’s worth of groceries for her family of 4 is also in self checkout, it makes it less efficient.
Even when Susan is taking a huge cart through, a single queue for multiple service providers (self checkout) is always going to be theoretically more efficient than multiple queues - one per provider (one line for each cashier). The best of both worlds are places that have a single area to corral you into line, and a row of cashiers where you can go to the first available.
I once was that guy who took a cartful of groceries to the self-checkout. The goddamn thing had to call staff no less than 6 times because we couldn’t fit everything on that damn scale.
Here’s the thing most people don’t understand. It’s possible to bag your shit elsewhere. You can scan your shit, put it back in the cart, and literally go anywhere else and bag it up. Everybody and their mother are taking the time to bag their shit at the checkout and holding everyone else hostage while they figure out where to put their bananas and lube. I routinely take a full cart of shit, scan it all with the handheld scanner, and I’m out the door before Nancy and her 10 shits. The whole point is that the POS is just there to pay for your shit. If everyone just took their shit to the giant area in front of every store, or to their car to bag their shit, no one would be holding anyone up besides the truly inept.
Many grocery stores have scales in the self-checkout bagging area. If you scan a can of soup, you’re going to take that can, put it on the bag scale but not into a bag, scan your other items, put them onto the bag scale but not a bag, and then take all of your loose items and put them one by one into your cart? How is that efficient?
That’s literally what you had to do in Germany in Lidl - even with a cashier there wasn’t even room enough to bag it there at the till and the whole thing was even shaped so that you could park your trolley in such a position that the cashier would directly put things into your trolley.
Not only that but everybody (including other customers) clearly expected you to operate within that system (for example, moving your trolley in a timelly fashion to the right “docking” spot to recieve the scanned products) and, if you paid with cash, get the change, free the area near the till and do the whole “store the change properly in your wallet” elsewhere were you weren’t wasting other people’s time.
You had an area you could go to and bag your stuff or you could take to trolley to your car and transfer the goods to the trunk there (in my case, this being Berlin, I had a bicycle with removeable cargo bags, so took the trolley there and then at home just unhooked the bags and carried them upstairs to my appartment).
I’ve never seen that anywhere else here in Europe, even in other Lidl stores (I’m now in Portugal and after Germany it’s all frustratingly slow and inneficient). I suppose a certain cultural mindset is probably required for people to naturally fit into such a system (were if everybody does their bit, everybody gets to pay and GTFO much faster).
Oh, and there were no self-checkouts there and the cashiers were amazingly fast, which makes all sense: self-checkout is really just using amateur and untrained - thus slow and inneficient - “cashiers”, so self-checkout tills would probably use more space and make the thing go slower.
I remember needing to understand some math concept for some reason so I googled it and clicked on the Wikipedia link. When I realized I was too stupid for that I went back and clicked on the “math is fun” link. It explained it perfectly. Thank you math is fun.
Wikipedia is really bad at explaining things, it’s written in a way that you have to deeply know all of the surrounding topics to understand what is going on
I used to think that it’s too hard to set up a suspension on a car because the Wikipedia pages are all weird and undescriptive, but it turns out it’s very simple for something like a double wishbone, there are even visual calculators out there
Your options are pretty limited, then. This Wikipedia article has a list of all browser engines; if you want not obsolete and open source ones you’re looking at Netsurf or SerenityOS’s browser. That or one of the Firefox-derived ones (Pale Moon, etc).
That’s definitely the intention. But for the guy on the left, “critical holistic understanding” amounts to “X isn’t worth it because it’s too complicated”, and he posts most of these memes.
Christ this shit hurts so bad. Fuck Reddit but you all really should learn how a corporation works and what a BoA is. Spez doesn’t decide what Reddit is. He only executes on vision. Reddit wasn’t getting series G funding in the current economy. Monitizartion of Reddit was coming spez or not.
And the people who gassed jews to death did nothing wrong, they were just following orders?
If spez wasn’t such an asshole he would show some integrity, honesty and transparency. Even if he exexutes on someone else’s bidding, there are so much better ways he could have gone about it that would have gained support instead of hate from the community. Like, for starters, not make groundless accusations of blackmail against an app developer? This guy is a crook, and I refuse to support a society where money is used as an excuse for throwing morality out the window.
Besides I don’t even think this will benefit them financially. History will consider this a turning point toward Reddit’s demise.
