Ohhhh Naked is watered down Odwalla. Can’t believe I never made that connection but it all makes sense now. Used to love Odwalla, kind of like Naked if I missed lunch or something

higher wages for the servers... by the customers. Fnbs (lemmy.world)

Went to a restaurant in LA today and when I got the check I noticed that it was a bit higher than it should be. Then I noticed this 18% service charge. So… We, as customers, need to help pay for their servers instead of the owners paying their servers a living wage. And on top of that they have suggested tip. I called bs on...

By using this little thing called arithmetic

Yes yes yes yes yes. Or maybe I should say Yeah Yeah Yeah. This song is amazing and the Flaming Lips put on the best live show I’ve ever seen. 🤘

Between 30 to 50 people swarmed the Nordstrom at the Westfield Topanga Mall in Woodland Hills, making off with thousands of dollars worth of luxury handbags and high-end clothing, an LAPD spokesman told NBC News.

Same energy as people bitching about the homeless in SF and Portland. It’s like have you seen our downtown bro, there’s a tent city

quicksand ,

Downtown Portland has gone to shit, no doubt about it. But there are problems in every city that needs addressing. For what it’s worth I’d move to Portland still, the area is beautiful and much better than the increasingly overpriced desert I’m living in

A feud is heating up between Arizona workers and the world's leading chipmaker after the company claimed the US doesn't have the skills to build its new factory (www.businessinsider.com)

A feud is heating up between Arizona workers and the world’s leading chipmaker after the company claimed the US doesn’t have the skills to build its new factory::TSMC wants to bring in foreign reinforcements to get its Arizona factory running because it claims there aren’t enough qualified local workers.

Intel recycles nearly 100% of the water they use, I’m sure TSMC will do something similar. They need to do a ridiculous amount of processing to make it suitable to return to the city supply anyways, so they just found a way to reuse

quicksand ,

Why do people keep saying this? There are many fans in the US. And for those that manufacture abroad, they still design their chips hear, ie Apple. People don’t want to work at TSMC precisely because there are alternatives. Intel is demanding, but TSMC has a horrible track record regarding respecting their workers and safety. They don’t even lock out electricity or gases on their tools when they’re being worked on. As a personal anecdote, I received an offer from a company that paid much better to work at TSMC, but declined the offer based on the customer. Luckily a couple months later I found another job at the site I wanted that paid a little better even.

quicksand ,

No, Intel tried a novel architecture (different from TSMC) and it was found to be unviable. They basically wasted a few years going down the wrong path. They have incredible engineers and will catch up. We’re at a point where the technology is limited by the machines they buy, which Intel and TSMC have the same vendors. They are behind because they went down a fruitless path, but they switched course and are now playing catch-up

May I add Hot Rod to this list?

California judge charged with killing wife had 47 guns, 26,000 rounds of ammunition: Court documents (abcnews.go.com)

A California Superior Court judge arrested last week has now been charged with killing his wife in front of their adult son at their home. Court filings reveal the judge had over 47 weapons and 26,000 rounds of ammunition in his home.

quicksand ,

Yes you got the point. I’ve heard that in Israel you can have one gun. When you leave the shooting range you must buy 50 bullets. If you go back and have less than 50 bullets, they need you to justify why that’s the case, or they refer it to police or something. I know something like this would not fly in America, but maybe it’s a regime we could work our way towards

quicksand ,

So since the need for guns is a well regulated militia, per the second amendment, everyone should get to have 1 or 2 guns. No need for more

quicksand ,

I’ve been around guns. I know 50 rounds is practically nothing. I was shocked when my friend explained the law there to me. Just providing an alternative perspective

quicksand ,

My boss is named Adolfo and I’m just like why?

quicksand ,

Except for Winco. Everyone I know loves Winco

quicksand ,

And it’s why I only use electrodes attached to my head that reads my thoughts

I know your mom just did

It’s bitch city up in here. Bitch city

This concept is revolutionary! What should we call this new form of information delivery?

quicksand ,

I love this, I’m gonna have to start using it when everyone is rushing and making silly mistakes at work

That was the original opening line of the national anthem, before the party poopers took it out

I just swap between lemmy.world and lemm.ee whenever one of them goes down. They’re the first two options on the app I use lol

quicksand ,

My job requires me to go in bc I physically fix machines, so wouldn’t be able to complete my tasks from home. I’ve convinced myself I like it because it gives me a definitive separation between work and home. But I’ve never had a WFH job and would probably end up liking that a lot more tbh

quicksand ,

What’s in the yolks?

quicksand ,

I love the method Arizona uses. Of course we elected a corrupt piece of shit, but there’s no way we would have gone blue without mail in voting. It’s not like we get election day off, which should be in the Constitution

I was wondering why the sightings were dominated by English speaking countries, this may be the reason. Thanks.

Thx Mitch

I spent way too long searching for the X. Is it hidden in the Twitter lettering or one of the windows?.. God I’m a dumbass

quicksand ,

Dude I love puzzles and would love to drag solving that one out as long as possible bc money. But you know the supervisor is telling them to hurry up and ignore the lines so his boss can make some more money.

quicksand ,

When I walk into the building I work at there is a disclaimer that they are using facial recognition. I don’t know if this is reality or a scare tactic, but based on the industry I would assume they’re just using it for free AI training

quicksand ,

The 22nd Amendment, so it’s in the Constitution. Unfortunately the current Supreme Court would probably find a way to hugely misinterpret it.

quicksand ,

I agree that he should be arrested, convicted and spend a good amount of time in jail. But just out of curiosity, what’s the penalty for someone whose dog severely injures someone? Of course police dogs should be held to a higher standard and it varies by city/country, but is the average person responsible legally or civilly if their dog injures someone? I hope someone in this community has an idea, I’m very curious

quicksand ,

I figured as much. I’m hoping an internet lawyer will find my comment lol

quicksand ,

Hang in there Jase. I know life is hard but if you need someone to talk to feel free to message me

quicksand ,

My only guess is that they would hope Taiwan would pressure the other countries to shape up. But that makes no sense based on the culture/religion of Malaysia and Indonesia vs Taiwan so idk

quicksand ,

They’ve been trying to poach people from Intel and it isn’t working. Their reputation precedes themselves.

Edit: also I think they did not anticipate how much US safety standards in construction would slow them down

quicksand ,

You forgot the highest volume Intel fab in the world XD. But you’re right Arizona at least has nice weather almost half of the year and tons of hot jobs in tech. The issue is with the work culture at TSMC and not the location

quicksand ,

But maybe climate change will take care of it all and we won’t be here to see it…

Silver linings baby

quicksand ,

Yup I’m still stuck in the cycle of endlessly throwing away money to my landlord. Saving up for a house and then making payments on something so expensive at such a high interest rate is still a dream for me. Granted, I’m a sucker for avocado toast so at least I know why it’s that way

quicksand ,

And you just blew my mind right now

quicksand ,

For me personally, I joined Lemmy a couple days ago because Reddit shut Joey off with now notice amidst trying to negotiate payment for a paid API. Maybe the users you’re noticing are in a similar situation. I personally have no issues with reddit but I was a lurker there.

Doo Doo Doo dah

Well said

quicksand ,

It simply has to do with the number of lost/new employees in a year. So if you have 100 employees on your payroll and 100 quit over the course of a year, then you have 100% turnover. If 50, then 50/100 total employees = 50% turnover. It will be lower if less people left. Here’s the link where I learned this: aihr.com/…/how-to-calculate-employee-turnover-rat….
