I live in Seattle. We have North America’s largest superyacht facility here: Delta Marine. Their starting pay ($22/hr) is less than the local burger place, Dick’s Drive In ($23/hr), and I swear to god I am not making any of this up.

The USA has the largest rail network in the world, although the customer service and schedules leave something to be desired.

Was it really that innovative? It was just myspace for college students

IMO it’s almost worse than if G+ flopped completely. Google+ was actually awesome for the specific world of smalltime pen and paper RPGs. But of course, that one creative community of people designing & publishing cool stuff wasn’t enough to justify its cost, or challenge Facebook for supremacy, so they pulled the plug even though plenty of people were still using it. Just a waste.

Not particularly, but I imagine it was just weird as hell haha

Cheaper than a large popcorn at the theater 😂

Right? Imagine if all of the money spent “building out” the metaverse had been invested in improving infrastructure in real life…

Imagine like four or five of us sitting in the front row of a crowded theater, chowing down on rotisserie chickens with our bare hands.

In retrospect I feel so bad for the people sitting near us 😂

In high school my one friend had a big trench coat, and we would use it to sneak rotisserie chickens into the movie theater.

This wouldn’t surprise me at all, tbh. My uncle (first son) is way taller than my dad (second son) because back in the day my family didn’t have much money, and they prioritized feeding the oldest son. Same genetics, different childhood diet. Uncle is like 6’2", my dad is like 5’6". If there had been a girl sibling involved, she probably would have gotten even less food.

Why do people drain the liquid? That’s free bean water!

Seriously, if you’re cooking the beans, leave the liquid in, cook until it boils off. Trust me dawg

And even then, the stores have always been selling rotisserie chickens at a loss to get people in the door.

Nope. I set up the browser on my computer and phone to delete all cookies from youtube every time I close the window/tab.

Every time I rock up to youtube, it’s like I’m visiting for the first time. Zero recommendations. “Try searching to get started!”

I watch a couple videos, I close the tab. Next time I open youtube? Zero recommendations again. It’s awesome.

A lot more frequently than I see private industry run something correctly/efficiently.

Yep. We already had this discourse a little over a generation ago. It used to be you would roll up to a grocery store, hand your shopping list to the clerk, and then wait while they went and grabbed everything for you. Modern grocery stores where you go around and pick out your own items were rejected by consumers at first because they were perceived to have poorer customer service; but ultimately, it was faster and cheaper, so it became the new normal.
