  • It's addictive.

    I'm in playthrough 20. Each playthrough the factory becomes more efficient (usually).

    I read a book about Lean Manufacturing and I needed to apply the learning to the game. It's interesting to see the changes in this playthrough. No more supply buffer chests. I'm relying on just in time supply chain. Well except the past of my factory that makes the factory, that's still full of chests of stuff waiting to be built.

    A raspberry pi 4 can emulate any console up to the N64. I'm still running a pi 3. The 3 can't do the N64 well. I'm unsure how good the pi 4 is with the graphics of the N64.

    I can run basically any game published before 1995. It's just a matter of finding roms. They used to be easy to get, but Nintendo got angry with websites that were hosting them. So now you have to dig a little more to get them.

  • Exactly, now why would he submit to hundreds of hours of interviews with people that can charge him with other crimes adjacent to what he was convinced and pardoned of. There is no incentive for him to cooperate. There is nothing the investigators can offer him that will make it with his while.

  • It is, but the dishwasher has to have a water heater in it. It has to heat water to a temp that you shouldn't keep you got water tank at and heats throughout the cycle.

    Your clothes washer (generally) also has a built in water heater.

  • Do you just pack coffee into where the pod goes?

    In my mind I'm imagining you filling the pod hole like one would for espresso. Every run, dig some out, but pack more coffee in.

  • You can't prove something doesn't exist.

    This is the problem with when scientists declare a think extinct. They can't prove it's gone. They can sample and say "we haven't seen one in a while, we think they're gone".

    It's the same with spider infestation. I'd you have seen one for a while, you can declare it's resolved, but you're never really sure.

    PS spiders are better than bedbugs. A former employer I was at had a bedbug problem. That sucked for people in that office.

  • In a previous life, I did loss prevention. The average shrink rate in retail in the USA is 2%. That means 2% of the merchandise leaves the store without being paid for.

    An average Walmart does millions in sales each day. Conservatively 2% of one million is $20,000.

    Thousands of dollars of unpaid merchandise leaves a big retailer every single day. It's part of the cost of doing business. That's also why online retailers are cheaper. They don't have to deal with external theft. They still have internal theft.

    Shrink is the industry term. It's merchandise that isn't paid for and isn't there when inventory happens. Theft is most of it, both by customers (external) and employees (internal). It's also things that aren't rang up right at the register, damaged merchandise that isn't removed from the system correctly. It's a big umbrella term.

  • You're in a Walmart.

    They claim to be cheaper so they can have that drabby distopian look.

    In the good parts of town, they look nicer. In the poor parts of town they're legit worse than that.

    Fwiw, I'll pay the extra dollar per shopping cart for the superior look of a target. Target is generally cleaner and crisper looking. As always there are exceptions to that rule.

  • better off people usually live in well-insulated homes...

    Remember Al Gore's house that he was touting back around 2007 as super energy efficient? Then some news outlets reported it used 25x as much energy as a normal single family home.

    Snopes looked into it and said false, it only uses 10x as much electricity as a normal house, but that's okay because it's 4 times the size of a normal house.

  • Your employer is required to submit the amount you were paid and the taxes that were withheld. The IRS knows how much you owe assuming that is your one source of income and you don't have deductions beyond the standard.
