Thank you for letting me know!

How do you like the hammock? I’ve recently picked up hiking and went hammock camping once. I loved it despite a torrential downpour that night.

Everyone loves a good toilet mushroom

You can hear them run on tile.

I wish I didn’t learn this information first hand while trying to be nice and catch one to put it outside.

That face.

It’s amusing when you can say “human for scale” instead of banana.

I upvoted this because I respect spiders and it’s a good picture. I am commenting because I hate spiders and they are scary.

I had the opposite experience. Though 15 years ago was around the time I worked at a computer shop and I recall quality between the two comps flip flopping. On a side note, that was also the era of Asus capacitors failing at a surprisingly high rate.

I will have to give them a shot!

Heinz ketchup, Hellman’s Mayonnaise, Coca Cola, Western Digital hard drives back when platters were a thing.

This was the nicest thing I’ve seen all day! Thank you for sharing. :D

Thank you! I was able to briefly live vicariously through your eyes! I’ve recently grown a great appreciation for the serenity of being outdoors—especially in mountainous wooded areas in my case.

Please forgive my ignorance here. I absolutely support folks fighting for better pay and benefits, but why on earth did they refuse this?

The company’s Oct. 3 offer featured:

• Product commitments for every UAW plant in America
• No job losses due to electric vehicle battery plants
• Profit sharing among all employees
• A full ratification bonus
• 26% pay increase for all temporary employees
• Conversion of all temporary employees with at least three months of service to permanent status
• More than 20% pay increase for permanent employees
• Inflation protection in cost-of-living allowances
• End to tiered pay so all employees can reach the top wage rate
• A reduction (in half) of the time it takes to earn the top wage
• Income protection for permanent employees
• Increased 401(k) contributions for permanent employees
• Up to five weeks paid vacation, an average of 17 paid holidays per year and two family days.

Every single one of those bullet points sounds like a pretty massive win, even individually, then you combine them all together and it’s the best benefit plan I’ve ever even heard of in the US. Granted, I am not a benefits manager and never have been, so I suppose I don’t know what is generally available in the US. But many of those individual benefits are leagues above anything I’ve ever seen.

EDIT: I read the article rather than the post. So I assume the above points are not being given to plants planning to be built?
