I already have perfected several methods for the generation of hot wind.

I think the new version of net metering pays homeowners less than it did previously, for power that they feed into the grid, disincentivizing rooftop solar.

The concept of being fed up with water is so alien to me. Water doesn’t have some powerful, delicious flavor but the sensation of drinking water is almost always one of satisfying refreshment.

How can you be irritated by water? “Damn it, this is only exactly what my body needs!”

Did the sharpie writing indicate that it had been converted to commode mode?

Yes. I do like that.

Roaming happens when you connect to a different cell network than the one you have a contract with, not when your location data says you are in certain places.

Sanders 2020!

I’m not angry and I don’t think this is a global conspiracy. I just believe that large companies are motivated to cut costs wherever they can.

Have you heard of pink slime? Its a product of the beef industry. They heat and centrifuge “waste trimmings” to get a little bit of additional gooey fatty animal product and then add it to ground beef. It’s pretty gross and it adds only a miniscule amount to the profit margin.

Large companies do everything they can to make as much money as possible.

Just so that I’m understanding correctly, you’re saying a company that sells tens of billions of dollars of pasta per year is not interested in saving a penny ot a fraction of a penny per box?

Do you think anyone is going to win a class action lawsuit against a pasta company that 1-5% of the time puts just barely too little pasta in the box. You think we’re going to have that kind of righteous justice? Haha. Do you think people would even be that surprised given that, as you say, “we’re talking about one of the cheapest brands of commodity pasta here.” No, if this was found to be true, whatever regulatory agency would just give them a warning.

It’s not about being evil, is about the way capitalism works. If they’re putting more product in the box than they have to, they’re fools.

And you don’t “precisely calibrate the machinery.” You just figure out what the variations are and you set it to the minimum. If you’re supposed to have something like 9-11 oz of pasta in your box and you know that your machine will give you whatever you set it to, +/- 0.2 oz of pasta, 99% of the time, you set your machine to 9.2 or 9.3 oz. You don’t set it to 10 oz.

You know full well that they did some statistical analysis and determined the minimum possible amount of pasta that they could try to put in that box, taking into account variations in their machinery and moisture content.

Well, in our capitalist, corporately run oligopoly, its essentially the owners’ and managers’ responsibility to have as few employees as possible and to get them to do as much work as possible, to maximize shareholder profits. If being stressed makes you do more work, they want you to be stressed.

The customer already rings themselves up half the time, as it is. What else can we get them to do?

Should the customer bring the cart back? Probably. Would you like them to also sweep the floor if they track in any dust? Why don’t we have the customers just get the products they want off of the truck? Why do we need these companies to pay employees for any of this?

I’m going to reply with an anecdotal no.
