  • What do y'all recommend for new dishwashers?

    Jump

  • Emphasize proper maintenance of the space, equipment, and hygiene standards over speed in the beginning. They'll get faster over time but they'll never get less sloppy.

    If they get to order a shift meal order it for them the first few times, so they know when to do it without burdening the kitchen and the appropriate price range for comped employee meals.

    Make sure both the other BOH staff and the FOH are aware that they are new and the dush pit might get backed up more than usual, and to take the extra time to properly scrape plates and stack to make the new dishie's life easier while they get the hang of things.

  • I badly misunderstand the question; I thought you meant the job position, not the appliance.

    I have no relevant advice for the latter situation.

  • I've been carfree in Chicago for two decades, I highly recommend it. I keep my license current for emergencies and the odd once-a-year rental situation, but don't own one. It's cheaper and safer this way.

  • That, and so they have an excuse to incarcerate or kill the leadership, see: Haymarket 7, Joe Hill, &c

  • Boxer or briefs?

    Jump

  • Boxers, specifically woven boxers. In that the point of drawers is to filter farts and keep your legs from touching each other, they're the best option to do that. They're gma lighter-weight fabric than briefs or boxer-briefs; and also a stiffer fabric which means they won't ride up and let your legs start touching.

    Jump

  • Worst of both worlds, they're the suburbs of underwear.

  • Plea for help: I've got a cash infusion coming Monday from my mom, but I'm basically broke ahead of tomorrow's No Kings Day protest and want the option of getting out of the area via Uber/Lyft.

  • What would happen if the Earth were sucked into a black hole?

  • We'd suffocate and then be crushed.

  • I find it much less so than, say, reddit, or old-school website fora, or talking to randos on the bus, but then I browse by subscribed.

  • All right music fans, what's your favorite band/musician and how many times have you seen them live?

    Jump

  • Stephin Merritt / The Magnetic Fields, and never.

    They've come through town several times, it's just never worked out.

  • Instead of asking all my stupid questions separately, could I just get a ton of "How to Adult" type resources in the comments?

  • Your first time doing taxes, go to the public library and grab the paper copy of the instructions, even if you're submitting it electronically. Read them and highlight anything that's confusing or important.

    Laundry: Use less detergent than you think, and colder water than you think. Don't machine-dry any wool and most synthetic fabrics.

    ADHD? Look into a bullet journal for keeping track of important info. This is not a product, it's a method, and you can do it with a 50¢ composition book. The main benefit for someone with ADHD is that it's stupid easy to start and doesn't break if you forget to do it for a day or a week or a month.

    Buying insurance? Hiring a contractor? Know your budget and get at least three quotes before deciding.

    You don't get promoted by being good at your current job. You get promoted by asking for it, or by jumping to a different company.

    Start investing now. Pick a stock or fund that's boring but steady and buy $50 worth (or more, if you can afford it), rain or shine. Don't stress about optimizing it; even boring investments should have a return well above inflation.

    Never lend anyone money. It will destroy your relationship 90% of the time. If someone needs help and you want to help them, just give them the money. Either they'll pay it back some other way or they'll pay it forward, but no matter what it won't be hanging between you.

    If times are hard, don't be afraid or ashamed to take advantage of programs or food banks. That's what they're there for. You're not taking it away from someone who needs it more, most food banks have a big overflow from week to week. If you feel bad about using these programs when you're down, well, make sure to donate or volunteer when you're up.

  • It's fun and festive... if they "only have that experience a handful of times in their lives". If you do it on the reg, it's just wasting the product. That distinction is what the question is about.

  • Anyone actually say during an interview that the reason they want the job was because they need money?

    Jump

  • Yes, when discussing pay. I said flat out "I need to be making X/week, is that realistic here?" Got that job, working it now. I don't have time to mess around.

    This is a sales job, though.

    When and why did the US switch to these voting machines that are the subject of ongoing lawsuits and reports of unlawful "updates"?

    Jump

  • Each voting district sets its own methods; different areas have different laws. It's a mess.

  • For those who play games on a PC with 2 monitors, are you a game on the left screen or game on the right screen person?

    Jump

  • Eh, I switched it up, but mostly to the right.

  • For those who play games on a PC with 2 monitors, are you a game on the left screen or game on the right screen person?

    Jump

  • When I used to have two monitors, it was never right and left; it was always center and side.

  • Making champagne bottles pop.

    To quote one of my old sommeliers, opening a bottle of sparkling wine should be "as quiet as a nun's fart in Mass".

  • When an instance like lemm.ee shuts down, what happens to the posts and comments?

    Jump

  • Well, there won't be any new posts, so that's not all that much of a problem in the end.
