Data coverage

There's actually a very simple reason for this phenomenon. A standard spring mattress essentially acts like a giant mirror, reflecting all sorts of radio waves, including your cellular signal. This can cause interference, leading to a dead zone in the near vicinity. The same effect was documented back in nineteen ninety eight when the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.

Borders

I know it's just a shitpost but it's so fucking stupid.

It's comparing a home to a country. Like arguing "If you're so against borders, I'll just come into your house at any time." No, fuckface, there's a difference between personal space and (what should be) public land.

A young woman was sexually assaulted while out DoorDashing. Two days after she reported the assault to DoorDash, they deactivated her account and she can't access the money she's owed.

Weird story. Apparently, the delivery driver walked into the customers home (door was open) where he was waiting? with his pants and underwear down.

When I delivered pizza, I would absolutely never enter a home. That's like rule #1. Really good way to get robbed. Or see something you don't want to.

And seeing a naked man in his home is not the same as being sexually assaulted. It's gross and probably illegal if he set it all up for sexual gratification, but unless there's more to this story, there was no assault.

I'm not sure what she wanted door dash to do about it? If you report something like that they obviously won't respond immediately, it would get flagged and sent to a legal team.

"Socialism will make life hard!" (Proceeds to show a picture of reality)

I used to hang out with a few rednecks. Good people, but absolutely indoctrinated. Union workers who didn't know the history of unions.

We got drunk around a bonfire one night and I started talking about solidarity, unions, workers rights, labor value, personal / private / public property, etc, etc.

By 3am, we were talking about seizing the means of production. If we'd had a few cases of s'mores schnapps, we could've changed history

workplace enrichment activities

This is actually someone doing a boil-out.

The oil is emptied and the fryer is filled with water and a cleaning solution. Then it's boiled for a while until it's clean.

The problem is that it's prone to boiling over and making a big mess everywhere else, as well as possibly contaminating any nearby surfaces with chemicals.

Put a couple of baskets full of ice over the fryer and the steam melts the ice, dripping cold water in and preventing it from boiling over.
