  • There’s an road with an intersection exactly like this that I commute to work on everyday, with the only difference being that it has a 35 mph limit.

    Upon reflection though, when I have been in the leftmost car’s position, I have never ever turned left onto the three lane road. Still though, this road is not usually busy and you can easily see over the road division.

    I have seen people floor it just barely in front of me when they turn to the left though, but that’s just because they’re impatient, not because someone waved them on.




  • “Xbox…not a platform for fans of Japanese games”.

    Are people really surprised by this?

    What big Japanese games have ever been exclusively for Xbox?

    Blue Dragon? Lost Odyssey? Both of which would have been more successful on Playstation, or at the very least whatever Nintendo console was relevant then.

    Honestly, it just a bad time to be a fan of Japanese games in general.

    No one in Japan has an Xbox and the vast majority of people outside of Japan with one didn’t buy it to play anything Japanese (nor have they ever).

    Anything getting released on Playstation out of Japan is getting censored one way or another. Anything weird or crazy or violent or sexual is fine in Western developed games, but when it comes to Asian ones, then it’s too much. It’s almost as if Sony hates Asians.

    Nintendo’s hardware is so old, you’ll be lucky to get more that 20 FPS on anything multiplatform, and no one wants to make anything exclusive for it because they have to compete against Nintendo.

    And if it’s on PC, it’s either a terrible console port or isn’t made because no one in Japan games on PC.

    No. I never had any issues with larger soda bottles. I would usually buy the 1 or 1.5 liter bottles because they were usually the best deal.

    I did some sales work for one of the local soda distributors, and it was crazy how much better the 20oz bottles did in comparison to everything else.

    It was the same with energy drinks. Most people would buy single cans for $3 when they could get a 4 pack for $10 or a 12 pack for $20.

    We would usually just open the 12 packs at our accounts because the singles simply sold better.

    20oz are more expensive per volume because they sell faster. There’s less of a demand for larger sizes typically go flat too fast for people unless they’re having a party or something, and even in that case they don’t have the convenience of being able to drink from the bottle.


  • Two of the major chains in my area merged a while back and they were required to close down a few of their stores to prevent having a monopoly.

    So of course they closed the stores that were under-performing, which just means they closed the ones in poor neighborhoods.

    They still owned or kept the leases to the buildings and sub-leased them out with the stipulation that any business taking them over could not carry groceries.

    Not only are the people in those areas having to drive a lot further (or spend more time on public transit), but a lot the surrounding businesses to the stores that closed down ended up going out of business themselves.

    There’s at least one nearly abandoned mini-small, shopping plaza in town due to this.

    I don’t keep my employees phone numbers as contacts on my phone and only use our landline to contact them.

    I do this to create a barrier that prevents me from calling or texting my employees as the first step to solving a problem or getting information.

    Additionally, it allows me to take actual time away from work and not be giving out instructions via text every few minutes when I’m home. Any issues that arise can (usually) be handled by my subordinates, and if they can’t, then they can contact be as they have my number.

    I really don’t like bothering my employees when they’re off in any fashion. I plan out my staffing every week, four weeks out. I never really thought about it until one of my newer hires told me his last employer only made schedules for his staff a week at a time, and when the week ended, he didn’t know what time he would work the next day (or at all).

    It blew my mind.

    If they’re really short-staffed, they shouldn’t be wasting their time beating around the bush. Additionally, texting is too slow, I would just call them to get an immediate answer, so I can move on with planning how the rest of the day/shift will go.

    “Hi {name}, would you be interested in coming in today to pick up some overtime?”

    Simple yes/no, directly to the point, and frames the question in a (potentially) beneficial manner to the employ.

    When a company reaches a certain size their expected to have certain things just because other successful companies have them.

    If the fired the team that writes, publishes, and distributes the company newsletter where I work, no one who does any real work would notice or care. The fact that we have a newsletter makes our company seem more big and successful to investors though.
