More words in that sentence than there were attendees.

Well, that explains why corporate is so intent on them. They’re creating the perfect little KPI-driven stooge.
Heck, now I’d like to see a study on KPIs (as a concept) as a reality distortion lens. It would seem like they have inadvertantly created a way to calculate a reality alignment index for a given KPI. Is it reasonable to conclude that using KPIs to measure performance is, in itself, unethical behavior?
To go a bit further: Is there a correlation between the number of KPIs and the likelihood of creating scenarios in which the only desirable outcome lies outside reality? That is, how many KPIs does it take to get sufficient competition between priorities that it effectively requires hallucinating a solution to achieve a sufficiently aligned result?


Shot in the dark, but maybe !bayarea@lemmy.world has someone more knowledgeable about that vicinity.


Best bet is probably craft cocktail bars.
Just start bar hopping and have a shot of Fernet if they don’t have malort. That’s the delicacy we’re known for anyway.


Oof, I’m a good hour plus away with any traffic. You can definitely find it in bars though!


I’m always down for shots of malort.


The juice? Easily. I got my last bottle at a total wine.
The poster … No idea.
My favorite part about that pencil grip is that no one who tries to catalog the ways you can hold a pencil seems to understand it.
I used this one in the 3rd grade or so as a way to weird out my teacher who was a pencil stickler and would correct our grip constantly. And to give my poor middle finger callous a break during all the standardized tests.
I can empathize. I went back to work a month ago now. It was/is hard to be unavailable.
Luckily, I work from home in a fairly independent role and my wife is still on leave, so we’re still largely co-parenting. We could afford to have me stay at home, but we’re saying that the extra I make above the truly wild cost of daycare will go to his education, financial security, and cultural enrichment.
We’re also telling ourselves that daycare will be a positive/important social experience for him because we have a small friend group locally and family is halfway across the US.
Hah, is fine. No I didn’t feel “cool.” I’m just the kind of weirdo that was obsessed with guns from a technical point of view as a kid. Think of me more as the kid just slightly on the spectrum who collected data on everything firearm related and then wrote mods for games like rogue spear that tried to adhere to the data. I didn’t shoot more than a .22 rifle or 16 and 12 gauge shotguns until my 20s. This was one of the factoids I still have floating around up there.
Now in my 40s, I still haven’t owned a gun personally, but have been to the range many times with friends (I buy more ammo than I shoot and drinks after). Heck, a few weeks ago I got to put a hundred rounds or so through a friend’s suppressed FN P90 (a very surreal experience), a very nice .223, and pistols in 4 calibers (.22 and 9mm with suppressors, .45, and .357).
.40 S&W and 10mm auto are both 10mm rounds!


Or her job!

Nonetheless, I agree with the sentiment.

Good advice here.
The faster you drink, the drunker you get and the longer it takes to sober up. Your liver doesn’t hurry things along just because you were dumb. It’s a linear processing speed. And don’t take any meds that dunk on your liver either. No acetaminophen/paracetamol.
And when your liver is busy with alcohol, it isn’t doing glucose (fat metabolism things) management. You’re likely to have low blood sugar if you don’t eat after drinking.
For weed: maybe you’ll be unfortunate like me and have a vasovagal syncope response (fainting). Alcohol enhances the effect.


The answer, they found, is that working muscles effectively outcompete tumors for the glucose supply. Because muscle contraction increases glucose uptake, exercise shifts metabolism, causing tumors to receive less of the fuel they need to grow.
Nailed it. Down to the use of the word “fuel”.


Reminds me of my first day of intro to programming my first semester of freshman year at a small Christian Reformed college.
It opened with prayer and then a lecture on how technology is inherently evil. Then we started writing a java applet.
I applied to a state school within 2 weeks of starting.
As an inveterate imbiber, even a fifth (750ml) of mild spirits (80pf/40%abv) in 15 minutes will get anyone in trouble.
He quit walking the line and dove head first over it.
