ArmZ posted:target is apparently the king of this poo poo Fun target fact. One of the many fuckups target made when they tried to expand to Canada was to reuse their American planograms. Unfortunately some of the Canadian products had different dimensions because of the francophone requirements so they had wide empty spaces and loads of poo poo that wouldn't fit on shelves.

Peak capitalism is the freedom to choose between ten identical brands of peanut butter that have spent millions of dollars in advertisement to pretend they are meaningfully different.

Vox Nihili posted:Needing approximately 8 hours of sleep is pretty well supported by research It's needing eight hours of sleep in one go that's a capitalist construct. Before the advent of modern lighting and factory work, people would sleep in approximately two stretches of four hours each - first just after sundown, then again by midnight or a little after, getting up at dawn. Once factory work became a thing, sleeping for eight hours at a time became normalized so people could work their shift in a single stretch as well.

i did the crickets and worms diet for a while. i called it "low food chain" and it was a pain in the rear end. worlds not ready for it quite yet. cant just buy regular ol crickets to eat since theyre made for rats and poo poo idk to eat and you dont wanna eat that. they barely digest and are fed trash so ur basically eating trash. the fix of course is to "farm" your own crickets which is "easy even in an apartment!" (its not) and theres no way im doing that. ... yet. mealworms and crickets for human consumption are expensive and challenging to source too.

I've heard you can just grab some night crawlers out of your yard and plop them in some oatmeal so they purge the gritty dirt out of their systems and replace it with tasty oats. Can't say I've been adventurous enough to try though. But it does seem like if they can make a beyond burger that tastes good, it shouldn't be a problem to make a tasty worm burger or something. I'd give that a try if it was a thing.

Armacham posted:Trader Joe's Soyrizo is the cool thing about indian food is that on youtube if you search for anything there are hundreds of videos that indian women have made of them cooking, and its the most no-nonsense poo poo you've ever seen. but anyway for daal, get some red or yellow lentils. i like to soak mine in water the day before but you don't have to. put some oil in a pan and fry up some cumin, coriander seeds, some tumeric, maybe some black mustard seeds if you have those, a few bay leafs (yes, fry them in the oil). add in some chopped onion and chopped chili peppers (to taste, you need to check how spicy they are first), fry those for a while. add some minced garlic, fry for like 20 seconds, and then dump in chopped tomatoes (canned is fine). let this all fry for a long time, you want to get some maillard reaction going from the sugars in the tomatoes. stir often though, don't let it burn. top up with water, add lentils, boil until the lentils are ready. add salt and garam masala at the end. make your own garam masala if you can, it's not hard, basically just stuff like cinammon, cloves, nutmeg, allspice. if you live in a decent sized city, you probably have an indian grocery store. you should go there to buy spices, they will be way cheaper and in much bigger packages than at your normal grocery store.

Hugely embarrassing for the idiot law firm partner who cc'd an organizer, but it sounds like pretty typical bargaining unit considerations. Reasonably valuable intelligence for the union organizers, but not a smoking gun or anything. Hopefully they make the most of it.

I think REM sleep kicks in at closer to 2 hours and you drift in and out of it. There are some people who claim to make the uberman sleep cycle work (8, 20 minute power naps spread through the day). Odds are you have to be insane to try something like that so I'm not sure how you'd tell if it wasn't working.

Rectal Death Adept posted:As an american manufacturing worker I'm honestly surprised. While we are cutting corners we are telling stories about how Europe has all of these amazing regulations where you could never get away with it. We have the regulations, yes. But government austerity and neoliberal ideology in general means that there are just no more than a token handful of inspectors in the entire country. And also if they find someone flagrantly breaking the law they need to start with warnings and then re-inspections and then maybe some fines or whatever. Nobody in management takes any of that poo poo seriously.

Odds are you have to be insane to try something like that so I'm not sure how you'd tell if it wasn't working. I think a full REM cycle takes about 90 minutes, and the time to reach REM varies but you can train yourself to hit it pretty quickly.

You can get 2 full Rem cycles in the first 5 hours. After 7 you don't really get any REM. I've gone weeks at 6 hours a day with no real negative side effects. Anything less than 5 though and you start to lose cognitive function.

I'm talking more about species. Like the difference between a robin and a blue jay. They're different birds (though you shouldn't eat them). Cherry tomatoes are better in salads and beefsteak tomatoes are better for making sauces and dips and brandywine tomatoes are better for burgers. I don't really give a poo poo about ten different brands of peanut butter. Most of it tastes the same. Crunchy, smooth, bad ingredients, good ingredients, whatever. But there are different culinary purposes between different species of plants. Having a single tomato to choose from in a grocery store is grim if you like your food to taste good.
