I guess Coca Cola has those flavor packets just right then.

I could’ve been more clear and I hope I have been at this point. Hopefully we’ve helped some other see things differently.

My experience suggests that there is a difference between most places, places with substance users. Places that make mistakes at hiring and maybe someone does drugs once or twice in the walk in before being caught.

And places where people are using drugs in the walk in while leaving evidence and it is to the point the owner has to investigate because the chef/coworker/manager hasn’t already brought this to the owners attention.

Therefore this place appears to be the latter, a place with lesser standards.

I guess this could point to the higher standards thing you mentioned.

I sound defensive because the thought of my walk in being contaminated by drugs and their paraphernalia gets under my skin.

Do that stuff outside like the rest of us.

Doing whip its in the walk in mid shift while leaving evidence without anyone noticing?

Sure man I guess. My decades in the industry say otherwise but idc enough to argue.

Edit: I’m not saying that mistakes aren’t made at hiring but if it’s a big enough problem the owner has to get involved it’s not just a hiring thing.

The owner seems to have had to get involved. Not the chef, not some manager. The one in charge of raises.

I guess I did care enough to argue

There’s a difference between a food service place with substance users (most) and one that hires people that can get away doing whip its mid shift in the walk in and still keep their job.

Since this is apparently the latter; I’d say it’s just an excuse.

Bestaa is correct in that they greatly diminish the propagation of radio waves. They are not perfect faraday cages but a lot of the better insulated walk ins are very difficult to get radio waves into them. Cell service, walkie talkies, WiFi, GPS.

I’ve never walked into a walk in where my service wasn’t significantly impacted.

Not sure what you’re on about.

You’re probably right and I don’t really keep up to date with magicians but I believe he literally took a bullet to his throat when his bullet catching trick failed. I’d say that’s pretty close to dying.

Maybe you’re thinking of David Blaine who almost died from his stunts multiple times?

It’s the equivalent of Persona 5 being followed by Persona 5 Royal with its added content.

Who is the parent organization of Yum! Brands? That would be PepsiCo

Spun off in ‘97 I guess but that’s not really the same as selling from my understanding

Edit: they are legally distinct entities that answer to largely the same shareholders after some research

You definitely get it. Pure satire.

Possibly generally more liberal but my personal anecdote as a raised Catholic- now non Christian , is that Catholics are only marginally less crazy than evangelicals. All Catholics I know are super conservative.

Edit: I know Biden identifies as Catholic and I’m not claiming my personal experience is comprehensive. Biden is the only Pro-Choice Catholic I’ve ever known of. Most people I know don’t even consider Biden a true Catholic because of his stances.

You make good points. I was not completely clear in my post.

There are situations where what you say is true. (Were they setup that way intentionally though, for this very reason? Don’t think we will ever truly know.) There are certain multiplayer focused games that could be destroyed by client side affirming. I get that there are legitimate situations that makes this difficult for corps.

There are licensing issues as well but so many games face this and many offer “streamer friendly” options where the licensing of the music isn’t an issue.

Many of these live service/ server dependent games are completely completable single player and they could disable any licensed music/ multiplayer licensed components? Most of them are P2P anyway like Helldivers 2.

These are the ones I draw issue with.

Edit: to your point of multiple servers; why couldn’t we host the required servers privately if they so wished?

Why is this too much to ask? (I get the Capitalist why)

I feel like a lot of my grievances with live service games, outside of predatory mtx, is this inevitable endpoint of losing this game and all your achievements/ experiences/ progress.

This could also help solve a lot of Ross Scott’s (yt: accursed farms) lawsuits against live service games. In their case, The Crew

Let us host this ourselves if we wish. From a corporate perspective You can always lock the updated latest and greatest behind your currently supported game.

I know the reality is greed

Possible. All I know is calling 911 on my phone with cell only failed mid morning yesterday EST while I had no service. My local news put out an announcement the 911 operators were having issues receiving calls due to issues with ATT.

Connecting to WiFi to call 911 failed. Again, could be my county. Called non emergency local number over WiFi: success. They transferred me to 911

Correct. I had to connect to WiFi to use ATT calls over WiFi to call the non emergency number to be transferred to my needed emergency services. My local news station put out an announcement about ATT customers not being able to contact local 911 operators. May have had something to do with my county specifically. Still, a major issues.

I did not have SOS service on my phone for about 6 hours yesterday. So you are incorrect in that all people were able to contact emergency services. ATT, Upper Midwest

You said it yourself. Co-pays, and deductibles.

You’re right. Imagine yourself or a dependent having complicated medical issues. Well actually, don’t imagine it. It’s a nightmare. Worst part of the illness is dealing with the insurance no doubt.

You seem oblivious to the realities of most insurance plans in the US.
