We start the bid at $20.
Do we have $20?
Remember bidders that Twitter...ahem...X?.. X... Okay...X... Still has employees...really?...employees that are clearly loyal and easily controllable, as well as a nominal amount of IT equipment.
It's true everywhere. My wife and I both placed separate orders. I placed mine first and watched the driver wait 30 minutes, after picking up my order, until her order was ready. Then they got confused that both orders were coming to my house and didn't drop my order off. They figured it out after a few minutes and came back, but after 45 minutes of sitting in a car nachos are pretty fucking gross.
The next person has to be ready to reach for the slice. I don't care if someone is intending to get a slice. The slice is being grabbed or the box is closed. It's like holding the door open. If it shuts before you're in reaching distance, your timing wasnt correct. It's never rude to shut the box, it always courtesy. This is serious pizza business, and right now our world runs on pizza time. Guess what? It's pizza time.
Leaving the box open is akin to murder in my home. You want hot fresh pizza? So do I. Don't leave the box open.
Oh I thought you knew... I don't live in a suburb.
Sick. Finally someone I don't have to share with.
Sounds like you don't understand that other people's lives are different from your own.
I have a 7 seat tandem bicycle and tow a wagon on my grocery trips. Don't mind the fact that the nearest Walmart is a 14 mile trip since I can't take the highway on my 7 seat bicycle, that's not relevant. I just have to keep in mind that as my toddlers grow their pedals and seats need to be adjusted, but at least they should have more power to drive us up 15° grades as they grow. Thank goodness we will never have to leave our home in any case of emergency because our nearest hospital is only 10 miles away, well, make that 20 miles since we can't use the highway. At least we have the consolation of only getting 8' of snow each winter. Could be worse. Just gotta get my 4 year old to use his weight for traction. So long as we have public transport we should be just fine. All I have to do now is lobby my government for the infrastructure to create public transport. That should be easy. I mean it's one infrastructure, what could it cost? $10?
The corporate bio industry is so fucked up I can't even begin to describe it. I tell my friends and family stories, but I sound like an insane person to them. The scale at which money is thrown around is just too large for most people to imagine.
Like this: imagine a worker that makes less than $35k per year processes, and is soley responsible for $20M in products, per month. Product that people all around the world not only use, but ingest. Now imagine that that one worker is the only one in the world who knows how that product is processed. That's how bio manufacturers work.
In the bio industries R&D has almost exclusively become just the D. We like to think that there are a bunch of scientists doing lifelong, painstaking research to develop new drugs or treatments within the labs at Pfizer, Merk, Lilly, or whatever, but a significant portion of the research is done at small independent or school funded labs.
Once one of those small labs creates a decent treatment that will likely pass government testing, a large corp will buy it and say "We just made this brand new thing!". Really though, their R&D budget is spent on acquisition, production, supply chain development, and marketing.
Let me just throw QA into the ring as well. If anyone would report you to HR, it's someone in a QA position, or your direct manager. The difference is that your manager needs you to work your position. The QA person needs to find flaws.
