I work in ecomm and our factory had been exploring Mexico but settled on Vietnam, they’re in the process of moving key people over there now. I imagine most others are doing similar, tariffs were bad enough as is.

Lol yep the only crops we will get will have to be imported and heavily tariffed. Gg Trump

What the fuck, man.

I have the same knife I think, I sharpen it every couple of months and it’s still my go-to after 5 years despite the shutty plastic handle. Great steel for the price.

There’s a happy medium. I have a slightly newer VW GTI (2017) with a touchscreen but there are still buttons and dials for basically everything. It’s a perfect infotainment system if you ask me :)

He did it before and he’ll do it again. The last round of tariffs was backbreaking and this one will be worse.

I work for a small business and we’re still doing okay but all those tariffs get passed directly to consumers. If it costs 7.5% more to import something, it will get sold for 7.5% more.

And that is the low end of tariffs.

This is sort of beside the point you’re making, but a lot of 1st/2nd generation Latinos still look down on immigrants. “We did it the hard way, so they should have to as well” similar to bootstrap mentality.

It’s some real mental gymnastics, but I’ve had several latina girlfriends over the years and some of their families were poor or super well off, but they openly hated Mexicans and/or Puerto Ricans.

That number isn’t really that surprising.

What a dire situation.

Probably just a summary on the lock screen?

If you’re pounding one out that won’t really save you. He probably games with headphones and just doesn’t want to get jump scares by mom.

I always had a desk and a bed and I made a point to never have my back towards the door when I was at my desk for the above reason.

Ya, family holidays are stressful. If you smoke weed and know a relative smokes weed, it’s tradition to “go for a walk” or have a “safety meeting” or “take out the trash” to break away from the main group and get some fresh air.

In my family it’s my brother and his wife. Usually right after dinner.

I find this relatable lol.

Sorta. CBM is cubic meters and the entire world uses feet for shipping containers. For Intl logistics CBM and kg are the standard for volume and weight but they get loaded into containers measured in feet.

You’ll see similar stuff in other industries. Machining a lot of measurements are in mm but tolerances in “mils” or 1/1000 of an inch. Or medical where volume is in mL or drams.

When it comes to distance though I only really know miles.

For context 28 CBM is about the volume of a 20’ container.

Or a stacked pallet is about 1.8 CBM so about 15 standard height pallets.

TIL my boss is more evil than Darth Vader.

If anyone has any tips on how to cope with this lmk. I’m medicated but still an ineffective human 70% of the time. Life is hard I’m tired.

Even if he lunges it’s “just” assault, brandishing, terroristic threats. The dudes an idiot but that’s not attempted murder.

Maybe compost
