Sure, but sometimes, the errors people commit are idiotic and repeated errors are a sign of non attention.

Yesterday, I was at a restaurant chain, and there were two burguers on the menu (more than that but these two are important)

• The famous burger
• The super famous burger

I asked for a famous burger, I heard the lady taking my order muttering ‘super famous’ so I clarified with her, The regular famous, not the super famous, she said “yes, yes.”

I thought this was over when low and behod she arrives with a super famous, wich is 5€ more.

So I told her I did not order a super famous, but a regular famous and to her credit, she didn’t contradict me on that. I asked her to communicate that to the people at the register to make sure I wouldn’t pay for a super but a regular, but offered to still take the order as that would have been thrown out otherwise, but also said that if they wanted to change it to match what I ordered, I would be fine with it too. In the end no food was wasted (except for a couple of fries, the super has two steaks compared to the regular and my regular sized stomach can’t fit that).

When I got to pay, the people at the register weren’t aware of the mistake, but still changed the price to the refular famous when they saw who took my order, and someone (probably a manager from the way she said that) ranted about ‘her again’

Overhaul, the people have been very accomodating of their mistake and I was glad we were able to solve that without my bank account taking a hit or food being wasted.

But

• I had clarified that I wanted the regular and not the famous
• she apparently makes repeated mistakes
• she didn’t communicate her mistake to her superiors

People make mistakes yes and that’s fine, but you can’t excuse all of them away

Nah, it’s 10/10 , you don’t count from 0 to 99, you do from 0 to 10, so that still 100% in binary

Woman names in my electro swing playlist…

I just love the vintage vibes they have

Swamp cooler, they do work, but raise the humidity, which might cause increased mold growth

Yeah, sad thing is we are already signed up for the next 20 years, as in even if we stopped emitting everything tomorrow, we would still have +2°C in 20 years…

And how realistic is stopping everything tomorow?

+3°C… we would need to have a new coronavirus crisis every years, not just a new one, but stack them on top, in terms of emissions. Ofc you can’t have more then one global confinement at a time (doesn’t make sense to double confine someone) so that wouldn’t even work.

We. Are. Fucked.

Regardless of if it’s on the visual spectrum or not, it’s all called light as long as it’s electromagnetic radiations

Radio waves are light, gamma rays are light, gravitational waves are not, sound waves are not

Piracy against big corporations? Sure, but indie devs? That’s gonna hurt them far more and they usually haven’t done anything to uustify it

Aah too bad, 01:00 UTC would be 03:00 for me, and I plan on sleeping tonight

I usually put on some PBS Space Time, not quite podcast, but I often don’t look at the visuals when trying to sleep. The videos are short (about 15min) , but provided it’s between 23:30 and 00:30, it usually takes only about 5 minutes before I fall asleep.

Used to do audiobooks, but that would fail if I was too invested in the book…

I personally love the screen ratio
