You jest, but here when you're out in the wilds, pretty much the only thing you need concern yourself with is getting your boots muddy.
I am actually more worried about the 2 legged creatures in terms of danger, than the four legged kind. I ran into a bunch of poachers one time. That was interesting. I got away, but I had to cross a nasty swamp, and go miles out of my way to get home.
I can't see 'lynx' without thinking of the text-based internet browser that ran under DOS. Man, those were the days.
Watching the police at my neighbors... We get the police going by here about 3-4 times a year, enough to say, "Oh my Gosh, the police just drove. I wonder what is going on?" Apparently my neighbors overdosed again. I saw a strange car in their driveway earlier today and thought that was odd. I guess they got a lousy batch of whatever they shoot up. Nice guys, just got a little problem, that is all.
What am I doing? Forgetting a sentence I wrote, just as I had finished writing it, then rewriting the same thing twice.
Alea iacta est and I'm bored right now - yes, boredom caught up with me today - so much that I actually bought a whiskey and I'm drinking it alone. I'm not even drunk yet and I've called almost everyone in my list... Time for karaoke.
Trying to fix the handsoap dispenser in the ladies room. Pump handle won't spring back up. Keep looking for a spring but I'm not seeing it. Does it function on air pressure? Either way, it appears totally fuggled.
From what little I could find on the subject, the pump inside has a spring that resets the outer button that forces it to dispense when depressed. So maybe the pump is bad, or sticking? (ETA): It could be on compression of the soap packet directly, but there would still need to be some kind of way of resetting the outer mechanism after it has be depressed.
Do you not get those free from your soap supplier ? I work for a council and all our liquid soap dispensers in the toilets are gratis from the supplier (course only their refill fits so they're locking you into one procurement model, except that all the competitors will also give freebies)
Probably. Ain't gonna help all the hookers in here wash their hands tonight, though. That is not a joke, BTW. Tuesday is hoochie night for whatever reason.
Yes, dining with Johns. Most of them are independent contractors working out of facebook, a few are part of services, and nearly all are affiliated with a strip club. All part of the girlfriend experience... you know, wine and dine her first. It's actually all quite professional. Any my regulars are very nice people who treat it as any regular good or service.
Tony Bourdain said that Tuesday was the best night, food-wise, to go to a restaurant. Perhaps your working ladies read his op-ed and insist that their clients take them to the restaurant when they (the ladies) will get the most bang for the buck before getting their bucks for the bang?
Yeah, Tuesday is the big prep day. Run bingo over the weekend, re-up on Monday, mass prep Tuesday. Sunday is the worst. Anything that is a "special" on Sunday is left over from the weekend and on the verge of spoliage. Tuesday is also a big managerial day, but I flipped the managers/department heads meeting to Thursday a few years ago. I found that general instruction and coaching would see better results when introduced before the weekend go-time. Shit only sticks with immediate application IMO.
My dad told me, but I've never been able to find a cite, that some engineering students at U of I in the 60s did an experiment where they intentionally contaminated the beef served in the dorm dining hall with a harmless radioactive tracer and watched it progress through the meat dishes throughout the week, finishing up as mystery meat stew on Saturday or Sunday. My dad told me a lot of stories. Some of them were true, but I don't know if this one is included in that list.
Pretty much. Except the mystery. Animals get butchered into loins, loins get cut into steaks, scraps get depreciated into pastas, anything left ends forms the base of sauces. Evolution and entropy.
That is true. It used to be part of ServeSafe Training when that first came out. The tracer they used only glowed under a blacklight, and at the end of the day they would light up the room and it just glowed from where people had touched. Tyson Chicken does the same thing. A certain wavelength of light shows proteins, and after washing down, if even one spec is seen, before the next shift even starts, they clean EVERYTHING again. Myself, I am fortunate. I work with a lot of intensified ultra violent light, and that kills Covid, so the best thing I can do is go to work!
