I’ve done similar prior to the days of company-issued phones and company messaging platforms. These days, calling in sick is just a teams/slack/whatever message to my lead; no need to sound sick anymore!

They’ve been observed to use fish and other stuff for … relief, so I guess the answer is “not necessarily”?
recoil also tends to pull high (if you’re not anticipating), so a groin shot if pulled would just end up centre mass instead, where a head shot would be a whiff

2·9 days agovideo games have come a long way in the last few decades though. the variety of genre, play style, art style, etc. is absolutely astounding for someone that grew up playing bootleg games on a C64. There are some that are basically like an interactive movie, puzzle games, building games, and then your usual shooters and sports and mario-type platformers. If you ignore the AAA-slop, there’s some really high quality content out there.

Technology@lemmy.world•Dynamic pricing could be coming to your local supermarketEnglish
1·11 days agoGrocery is already going online, look at all the companies sponsoring youtube vids. The margins for what you’re describing are, at the absolute best, razor-thin.
E-tags draw significantly more profit from things like one-day (loss leader) flash sales, or in-store specials, or other conventional retail pricing tactics.
Take a 4-hour sale on some popular product, put an ad up on Instagram to get people in your store on the way home from work and you make a mint. You don’t need E-tags to do that, but it means that you don’t have to pay someone to change out the paper tags on that product twice in their shift.
You’re getting distracted by the least likely way they’ll fuck you over, when they’re just sticking to tried-and-true collusion.

Technology@lemmy.world•Dynamic pricing could be coming to your local supermarketEnglish
3·11 days agoWhy go through the trouble of gaslighting someone with digital price tags somehow changing the price on the fly based on whoever happens to be looking at it (BTW, what happens if two people with different price profiles are looking at the tag at the same time?), when they could just remove the tags entirely or even more likely, just close the store and force you to shop online where they can do all the usual online price fuckery?

Technology@lemmy.world•Dynamic pricing could be coming to your local supermarketEnglish
3·11 days agoSurge pricing really only works when you put the customer in isolation. Uber can do it because you’re the only one seeing the rate for the trip you want to take. Amazon can do it because you’re shopping while taking a shit at work. Nobody else sees the prices in your online shopping cart, that’s not the case in retail.
The profit motive behind these tags is wage savings. It saves in the time it takes to change out price tags when the prices do change. It saves in the time used in finding and replacing missing or damaged tags. It saves in the amount of manual price corrections at the till when the tag doesn’t match the till because the tag wasn’t updated - or the lost time and revenue if someone abandons their cart because of said disagreement.
Could they do what you’re saying? Technologically speaking, it’s been possible for several years - we’ve had these tags on most major store shelves in Canada for a very long time now and apps tracking our every move. Why hasn’t it happened already? These stores have had everything they need to implement this scheme, and of all the shady cunts in this world, Galen Weston would have by now if it could have turned a profit.
It’s easier to just price-fix the bread and pay a fraction of your profit in lawsuit settlements decades later than to do what you’re describing.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Make sure you know what your kid is getting themselves intoEnglish
5·13 days agoTrying to maximize is only part of it, the other really big thing with legalization and commercial growers is consistently predicable and measurable strength.
I usually prefer edibles, which were not really a thing the way they are now. I can go to a store or online and order a pack of edibles in a very wide range of concentrations, all lab tested and certified and each piece is incredibly consistent.
The same goes for flower; a grower can produce a crop and tell you exactly how strong it is, and I can take that information and use it for consistent dosing. There’s really no guesswork or wondering if the “super strong bud” is actually that, or not at all, or “I took one puff and I can now smell sound” strong. You are right though in the amount of the latter that is produced and just how strong it’s getting, but that does seem to be plateauing somewhat.
One good thing about high % weed though, is if you’re simply using it to get high and smoking it, it’s a lot less volume to have to smoke, which is overall way better for your throat and lungs.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•How do you effectively backup your high capacity (20+ TB) local NAS?English
7·16 days agoAmateurs not keeping at least one backup off-planet SMH

they’re duplexes/townhouses, that’s two separate dwellings. the picture is taken from a similar building, it would be one of those windows in what you called a hallway. The bricks look fine. Where you see a smaller brick that looks out of place, it’s actually turned 90 degrees so the brick extends into the structural wall behind it and ties the facade to teh structure.
