I know it as Greek Breakfast.

It can be enjoyed anywhere or any time, but it’s best served on a balcony in underwear. Greece happens to be a good place to get it in the morning all year round.

Just say that your name is Number 2.

They were part of WW2.

Stolen ashtrays etc. was almost free marketing distribution.

If the couple in bed wanted to talk, they could just call each other.

I disagree. Absolute profits would be the realistic option. The supplier is not adding to their profits due to the tariffs or whatever caused this, and the customer are surely as fuck also not getting more money.

She’s the only one in the chain that gets paid more when increasing her margin by percentages.

Of course there’s more to it than an example, and yes, someone else will be able to outbid her. The larger chains can easily do that while still maintaining their profits.

Yeah, it wouldn’t make sense even if they drop shipped beans directly to customers, as in, let’s forget about costs to staff, shops and other services.

The purchase price and sales price are not directly related like that.

She’s effectively increasing her own revenue and profit by more than the increase in cost price.

I’m sure you already know this, but let’s break it down, because apparently a lot of people don’t seem to grasp this.

Let’s say a bean used to cost 100 and she’d sell it for 200 making 100 in profit.

Now let’s add 15% to both, so a bean costs 115 and she sells it for 230, making her profits 115. The extra 15 in profit simply appeared out of nowhere, because she made the wrong calculation.

If she wanted to fairly increase the sales price by the change in cost price, she should’ve maintained her profits at 100 and made the sales price 215. The sales price should only rise by 7.5% in this example.

This is exactly what’s causing inflation, and doubling the effects of the tariffs and other costs price increases.

So sure, she could argue that because of inflation, everything is increasing so she needs more profits to cover her base costs, but please keep focused here: Those things should already be in the calculation of sales price. The profit is the excess and thereby not required to cover any of the costs any more than they already do. The same calculation can be done on each of them and none of it would justify adding the same percentage to her own mark up.

It’s pure greed.

That was also the period when the introduction of tire pressure sensors created brand new issue that people never had before.

However you probably don’t miss the manual choke valve, double clutching, hand winded starter crank, or even window cranks.

There was really no golden period of car controls. It went fluidly from one kind of shit to another kind of shit.

I’m not really scared of AI becoming more intelligent. I’m more concerned about stupid people giving control to stupid AI. It’s plenty capable of fucking things up as it is provided it is given access to do so.

It used to be that political comics were satirical.

This is just the news.

The G is silent in English words starting with gn. Gnarly gnats is pronounced narly nats.

There’s not a lot of those words anyway

Gnu and gnome are exceptions only when used to describe the software. The gnu animal and the mythical gnome creature are pronounced with silent gs.

It needs the most advanced AI and direct access to LinkedIn to reach maximum efficiency. No prompting required and all cookies allowed. I want all 1049 partners to get an instantaneous feed from my butthole.

I know it’s completely off-topic, but anyway. No, I’m fine with the rake. That’s what’s makes it funny.

It’s the drawing of the skater that is too good, and that doesn’t add up with the other details being wrong. Someone who can draw a skater that good wouldn’t make the other things that wrong or even random.

The rake is drawn as doing a frontside shove-it, popped from mid-air and failing because of gravity suddenly changing in the middle of the sequence. The skater is “obviously” doing a varial heelflip instead of a frontside shove-it.

So that’s the clue to why I thought it was drawn off an actual picture. That the background is also a copy of the original only reaffirms my theory.

In hindsight I can also see that the skater is obviously Andrew Reynolds. The tuck and landing is his signature style.

The last picture in the meme always bothered me, because the sequence doesn’t make any sense physically. (Popping the rake from mid air and doing the wrong flip and such)

So, I went on to find the sequence that I believe it was drawn from.

Japanese working culture is … different.

Tl:dr;

The top-cited reason for using resignation agencies, at 40.7%, was that companies refused to let them quit. Other reasons included fear of backlash if they resigned alone or their work environment discouraged employees from quitting independently.

It’s mentioned in the article.
