Steam, Kindle, Audible, what was that movies site?

And yet, it has downvotes.

This makes me think of Harmon Quest.

Both are meh compared to home. Dough is flour water yeast. Touch of corn meal for roll out. Add time. That’s it. Cheap and easy.

Reclaim the Pizza Hut crust of 30 years ago by preheating a #8 or larger iron skillet with oil in it, carefully dropping in your rolled out crust, making sure it has a nice edge, and building your pizza. And your crust won’t taste as sugary as subway bread.

You have money to spare, pizza oven for the thin crust.

Dominos is better these days if you have to choose.

Standing too close to occurring in the near future to qualify as funny.

No. Memmy + Apple. I can put up to 5 spaces between paragraphs and I’ll still get what looks like a 1.2 space between paragraphs every time.

Dealing with PC lemmy is work so I stick with the app on the phone.

Spaces between paragraphs don’t really show on Memmy and walls of text suck.

Whatever works, I’ll try it.

In the kids case, that’s a staffing issue. Most lockdown mental health facilities have a tech/CNA whose sole job it is to walk around and log the location and state of every patient every 9-15min, depending on policy. In addition to the techs/CNAs who herd everyone to group, meals, and all the rest. In addition to mental health staff that run the groups. In addition to nurses who do meds and assessments. In addition to “orderlies”, not big men in white like in movies, who tackle people these days, but people with intense training in deescalation.

.

In the elder case, that is often a staffing issue. If it’s day shift and you have more than 6 residents assigned to you, that’s a staffing and/or state level regulation issue. If it’s evening shift and you have more than 8 residents assigned to you, that’s a staffing and/or state regulation issue. But yes, declining mental health (dementia) and brain deterioration (Alzheimer’s) is part of elder care. Sometimes it’s the sole reason they’re placed in a home, because that decline in brain capacity requires 24h care.

.

A lot of health care jobs would be absolutely ok if they were actually safe for both patients and staff. But corporate greed often doesn’t allow for that.

Staffing matters. And it often will be ignored until the state mandates a law that requires the corporate owners to do better.

Oooo, that should be a tshirt. That can be embroidered with a company logo.

Talking to a friend this week who works for Cabelas/Bass Pro. Worked their asses off since this is their season, hunting then gifts, inclusive of OT whether you want it or not, pretty much until after Christmas.

There’s a movement quota. They met double that. Post day debrief with boss, they’re like what do we get for that apart from this praise you have for us?

Nothing. They get nothing.

.

It’s not quiet quitting, it’s just doing your job, as is, as agreed, nothing more, nothing less. Meet the quota as required and go home. Because working extra hard gets you nothing.

Hey, I’m only telling you what I’m seeing when I go outside. Seems more common than 10yrs ago too.

This was Bill Mahr back on Politically Incorrect, regarding the “for the children” line.

Sounds like he had bags filled with ceramic tile over his hidey hole and bolted to a vehicle. A bystander photo-d the plate and gave it to law enforcement. And then he just sort of hands in the air surrendered himself when they caught up. No conspiracy theory yet, from me, I’m going to give it a bit, see what info shakes out.

His vids make him sound like a Libertarian who voted for Trump the first time because he thought it meant real change, for democracy draining the swamp and all the other stuff, and now he wanted to shoot trump because he felt it was the only way to defend democracy. Yes, the phrasing matches the Harris campaign.

It’s a bizarre rabbit hole. He has a lot of social media vids. And he’s always wearing some kind of flag print in his vids, even if it’s just his blue and white hair in combo with his red face. Went to Ukraine. And some weird stuff with Afghanistan. I stopped watching because, ick. Consumption of that guys media is unpleasant.

I think this is the other side of the nationalism push. You don’t just get a community that likes to wave flags, like evangelicals waving their arms at a tent revival. You also get the Jan 6 crowd. And you also get these two shooters and whomever else from that fully over the cliff segment is sitting in a basement, planning some other horrific bit of violence, right now. You probably can’t separate out all 3, it’s all or nothing. And something trump himself started fomenting in 2016. Years of anxiety and angst feeding on itself, which yes, won him 2016, but now? Where’s it going and does he have any real grip on it anymore?

Scary. And likely not the end of it from this crowd.

People have handguns on their hips in grocery stores. And you don’t know where the concealed carry is (most don’t) because it’s…you know…concealed.

Kahr made concealed carry its advertise/sell point and doesn’t hit the bar for most clip capacity restrictions, so it’s pretty available.

Ok, this is a large, not concealed gun. But my point is, many Americans have guns and carry them, both concealed and otherwise, even while grocery shopping with their families.

How is this walking around with a gun thing a question? It’s been even more normalized the last 10yrs than ever before since the Wild West times ended.

What’s more interesting is this is shooter #2 who was once a trump supporter and then, quite dramatically, changed his mind. This deserves some analysis. We’re getting almost no analysis on the first guy.

It’s a white thing. Nothing is a monolith, mileage always varies, but look at what, middle of the bell curve, look at what our culture does. Take a close, hard look at nursing homes. Many cultures don’t have them. We do. Why? Because each generation tends to have a “I have my own life to live” attitude.

Get out of the house. No, really. What the fuck is wrong with you? Why are you still living at home? Are you deficient? Lazy? A mooch? Do you lack adulting capacity? What is wrong with you? Why are you 20(+) and still living at home? 30 and still at home? You probably don’t qualify as human any more.

This attitude from the very people who then end up abandoned in a nursing home by these kids they pushed out, later. Some, loudly lamenting how their kids abandoned them there, never come to visit, and are now living in their house.

Multigenerational is moving in, yes, but it’s not where things started, for sure. Some white parents even charge rent at 18.

Mileage varies. My white family did none of this. My mom is in a mother in law apartment on my property. Her parents lived with us. I lived with her during college. And so on.

But there’s a prevailing get out of the house as soon as high scho graduation hits, and an “I have my own life to live” attitude.

It’s this bizarre thing. Management want them to “look busy” or some bullshit. Aldi looks busy.

You’ll see this on some factory floors too. No chairs even for the management or QA logging numbers on computers. Chairs are for break time or some such.

WIRE or Signal. Granted, convincing your people to move with you is like trying to get an act of Congress in play.

I think they’re shocked when people don’t believe the shit they’re trying to peddle. Trump more so because he thinks he’s the best salesman.

And, the cashiers can sit down. Which makes sense.

It’s kinda like this. Say you lead the most boring, law abiding, square life, top 20% of the bell curve in that zone.

Would you want strangers in your house, even if they couldn’t technically touch or take anything? Would you want them in your spouse’s closet? Your kid’s room? Looking in your fridge?

Creepy and “hell no”, right?

That’s what privacy is about. The right to lock your door against strangers snooping.
