The_Franz posted:cooking carries connotations of low class work, like how they use the term "maker" instead of carpenter or machinist To me, calling yourself a carpenter or machinist implies that you know what you're doing and/or are getting paid to do it. Like you can certainly start out as a "maker" by hacking around with plywood and a jigsaw, but once you get to the point that people look at your work and go "wow that's really nice" you have graduated to calling yourself a carpenter.

haveblue posted:...that's sort of how being creative works? the expertise in a field like carpentry is in knowing what tools are available to you and what they're capable of, not knowing the one true procedure for making a chair or whatever no, it is also about knowing procedures and methods. your first instinct on how to make something will often be dumb for reasons that become obvious once you both see how someone else did it and then you try it the dumb way on your own

Share Bear posted:i use paper, post its usually, when poo poo is outside the usual stuff we get in college my four roommates and i pretty much bought the same thing every week, so on sunday after x-files finished up we would pile into my ford escort, drive to the kroger on howell mill, and everyone would walk their usual routes and grab what we needed. i drove the cart on a set route so the aisle walkers could dump into it a couple of times, and five minutes later we'd be at the cashier's with $300 of groceries. after we loaded the trunk mcclain would suplex the cart into the parking lot corral and we'd go back to the dorm. good times.

Been thinking about going to another one, but it's an extra five or so minutes away. glad that project worked out and wasnt just 18 billion dollars of grift from companies like zebra/motorola who i used to work for and watched them grift so hard on self checkout scanners

the real grift is that the self checkout system and the payment processor are different platforms so after you pay 50 million dollars for the scanner/inventory control and a percentage of your sales to the processor you need to spend another 50 mil in consulting to build a custom solution to get them to talk to each other [poorly]

target’s scanners seem pretty good, maybe because their engineering is in house or maybe because the targets near hq actually work

target had the opportunity to front to back rebuild their whole payment and customer accounts system a few years back, I’d guess that was part of it. many stores it feels like the systems are literally fighting with each other
