    Compromise, ban fluoridation and also soda.

    Or maybe make it so soda can only be sold in restaurants in single-serving increments or as a binary compound for home consumption.

    it seems like 100 or so years of having it in our drinking water would have given us some indication of a problem by now if there were one

    kind of like the cell phones give you cancer thing

    why hasn't there been an explosion of side-of-the-head cancer if they do?

    So my parents thought their 72" TV in the living room was broken and bought a new one.

    My and my buddy go over there to set-up the new and my buddy says he will take the broken one to see if he can use it (we suspected it was not really broken).

    Sure enough, nothing is wrong. They just had it displaying SD so they thought it was fuzzy and broken.

    Now my friend has a fully functioning 72" TV for free.

    Hmmm.

    So the wife comes home last night and we chat about our days at work. Ten minutes in she drops "We lost a baby today."

    I mean that pretty much always is going to make my work issues seem petty. But then the rest of the story - spoilering it because its a bummer
    The baby was Ugandan. He was 9 months old. He needed an organ transplant, which is not likely there. So she sells everything she owns in order to get to Boston, manages to get asylum and on the organ transplant wait list and spends several weeks at Children's Hospital keeping her kid alive so maybe he can get a transplant. She had just started to allow herself to hope, smiling and playing with her baby. Then the kid started cranking and crying a few nights ago and they found he was bleeding internally. They managed to repair the bleeding but the damage was severe enough that he could not have survived the transplant process and they had to let him go. Now the Mom is homeless in a foreign country and her baby is dead.

    Tends to make my problems seem really small

    i know you want to pay people a fair wage and it's really shitty

    but hire some fucking immigrants, dogg

    It sucks, but you're putting yourself at a distinct disadvantage by not hiring people off the books.
    I thought illegals in the back house got better than minimum wage, though.
    JAIL ALL RESTAURATEURS
    IMPROVE THE WAGE SYSTEM

    It's more about the fact that you are most CERTAINLY going to work 60 hours a week and you are most CERTAINLY not getting overtime pay.

    And then your dishwashers, night porters, possibly even garde manger if you aren't serving particularly intricate cold dishes, are probably hovering below min wage, with the understanding that there could be relative quick job advancement

    you just have to either (a) give away a ton of free shit but also be well connected enough to be popular right out the gate, or (b) have either a strong enough concept or just a good enough crew that you build up your audience

    as long as your rent isn't too high, it's pretty hard to fuck up a bar

    ha, the company that contacted me a while back but gucked up setting up an interview (their HR person called and asked why I wasn't there and I was like, uh, you never scheduled it?)wants to speak to me again. It's for a senior engineer position but I'm not particularly excited about their product line. It is kind of weird being so heavily pursued right now. Not sure I should keep flirting with these companies. I don't wanna break any hearts.

    give zero shits play them all off against each other u r in the rare position of being the rare commodity

    shit on their souls and get paid

    Yeah, it was pretty weird a new group rented out three adjacent spaces near my office, one was just a little cafe, one was sort of a big restaurant/bar and they were going to use the last one as an event space.

    Me and some coworkers stopped into the restaurant for lunch, and we were talking to the guy about the three places and why he wanted to open all of them here at the same time, and he was like "there's a really busy dunkin donuts on end of the block, a really busy starbucks at the other, and nothing else".

    We're pretty sure it was actually some kind of money laundering front but either way they were gone in two months.

    Fluoride in the water has been there long enough we can trace its positive and negative effects pretty well. For the most part it is positive out weighing the negative. One of the big things is it greatly reduces dental issues with in the general public especially among children which is good for overall health and wellness.

    I wonder if anyone has seriously looked into the physical properties of old dried oatmeal.

    I think it could be use to build bulletproof vests, bridges, tanks.

    I think we could scrap the starwars program, just encase the USA in a thin shell of oatmeal, and be protected from ICBMs.
