Am I the only person who doesn't use shopping carts? I mean, you wear your backpack and carry your bags. Liquor and other heavy things go into the backpack, small things go into the bags. This way, you know that you have sufficient capacity to accommodate everything you're buying, since you're bringing it to the checkout in the same affordances you will use to carry it home. I don't get the whole cart thing. They are cumbersome to maneuver, and provide no functional benefit which I can perceive.

I bet not a lot of people can say they slow cook ravioli at work. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...d5e11dbb6a.jpg |
Ha, nice.
At my first job in radio, the engineer would place sandwiches inside the transmitter to warm them up. |

you guys sure this isn't the "random assumptions" thread?
Joe shops for one. He doesn't understand that a normal shopping trip requires purchasing items that are too heavy to carry around a store for 30 minutes. Also he must not be driving to the store. Is that Lowe's customer just getting a wheelbarrow or are they headed to the lumber dept next? Maneuvering those carts full of wood is a lot harder than not. I'd get the small shit first too. And yes I'd take my cart because that fuckin guy ---> will probably take the cart if you don't establish temporary ownership in some way. And we aren't all Joe, who carries his lumber in his bare hands when he's at the 'Deep. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...aca07a3210.png |

Not planning to use a cart for that either. :giggle: https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...77188bbc8a.png |
In the same vein, we unloaded a crate that was maybe 5' x 5' x 7' tall x ~1300 lbs -- just big enough that we couldn't get it in a double door . The thing was on a platform that we couldn't get a pallet jack under and we had to get creative. Eventually we got it on the pallet jack and into the suite but not without excessive man-hours and chuckling.

It's a lifestyle thing, I guess.
While living in Carlsbad, and commuting by bike, I got into the habit of shopping for groceries daily. This was convenient, since one of my paths home took me right past a Trader Joe's and a Stater Bros, and another went right through the parking lot of a Vons. This, of course, then carried over into both Hoboken and NYC, where driving is uncommon and most people visit several different specialty grocers / butchers / etc., rather than one giant supermarket. Even though I mostly drive these days, I still find this a pleasing way to shop. Totally unrelated, we installed a new thing today: A hair over 600 lbs. Getting this thing upright and then onto the 4" base was... tense. Fortunately, we've got a lot of construction work going on in the building right now, so the foreman lent me part of his crew for a half-hour. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...8e72e36dfa.png https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...e10f19d4e8.png Gratuitous router-porn: https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...3880842574.png |
So, BNC are still alive and well. Silver Plated, too, just like in good ole days.

Official statistics are hard to come by, but by my own estimation, we now posses the largest combined SDI router matrix in history. One 1056 x 1056, one 512 x 512, and two 128 x 128 all under a common control system. (I'm ignoring all of the little routers.) That's somewhere in the general neighborhood of 5.4 terabits / second of total switching capacity, fully non-blocking. Fuck me in the goat-hole. (And suck on that, CNN.) |
