It sounds like you’re suffering from management bloat. When you fuck up juuuuust enough to report the issue, bad number go up. When bad number go up people you’ve never met are saying “we must do something about this!” So they do a meeting about it, record the fact that they scolded you, send out a memo, etc etc whatever they can do to prove they did “something” aka superfluous managers trying to justify their existence.
Anecdotally, we do safety meetings first thing every morning. I think it’s a good concept even if it’s often an AI voice over video or a quiz on slips and falls. A few weeks ago I was coming into work closer to lunch time since I was only needed out there for lab work which wouldn’t be available to do until the afternoon. My field manager got pretty upset with me for missing the daily meetings. He straight up told me he was worried that if something happens while working out here someone will ask “well what was the morning safety meeting about??” 😑. At the end of the day most safety culture is about avoiding accountability 100 times over before it’s about keeping people safe. That’s capitalism for ya 🤗
Bit idea: leave clues to direct loved ones to hidden local LLM on my pc that I feed everything about me but it operates on “speak with dead” rules and wipes the whole pc after three questions.
Every culinary culture has its staple ingredients and its niche ingredients. Have I gone to a korean supermarket to buy a very specific sauce/paste for a recipe and then not use it again? Yeah definitely but also I use my Worcestershire sauce like twice a year at most and you’ll have to pry my sesame oil from my cold dead hands.
Maybe my facial hair just be going in too many directions but I need the extra dex scaling that comes with a safety razor or else I cut myself every single time.
But also the price of blades and the plastic waste keep me firmly locked in to the safety razor life.
I’ve never been to oregon but the whole “we didn’t let POCs in until after WW2” thing gives weird vibes.
Also I suggest adding Milwaukee to your list.
