First thing I got told when I moved from NoVA to CO as a manager was people work to play. That has proven true time and time again. Snows a lot, everyone calls out and hits the slopes. Gorgeous day and they’ve just recently stocked a favorite fishing spot? Calls out to fish. Hunting season and got one of the lottery elk tags? Puts vacation in or unpaid time off since they’re extremely hard to get and goes off trying to bag and elk ok the western slope. Recently upgraded your Jeep? They’re definitely taking it off road on a mountain trail stat. Yeah, we have a ton of fun out here.

Teams boards (shared to dos) Planner (personal lists) Writing it down on a sticky note (priority) Servicetitan Task Management (ugh, not a huge fan but required).

I was just thinking this yesterday. I went from hating Teams, to liking it better than Slack, and then actually finding it super convenient.

I do really wish we could put chats and threads into folders. I have so many in the sidebar … so many.

Oh I’m sorry, weddings and prom are still very formal, true. But a lot are western wear these days. Good point.

Eastern and Western US work ideals clash all the time. I’m in CO and we are definitely a we work to play state not we live to work and I haven’t seen an actual suit worn by anyone other than a lawyer around here, even at church. As soon as someone from the east coast shows up it’s painfully obvious. We don’t have much tolerance for their go, go, go ways and usually show them a great time and a relaxed vibe to relax them a bit. They’re always perplexed at how we can perform so well with such a relaxed attitude. Doesn’t usually click that it’s correlated.

That’s by smell. They all smell fantastic in part because they don’t produce much sweat.

This is the real reason. It continues to exceed expectations in profits and honestly, it’s got almost every climate you can think of. It’s a pretty country.

We usually do:

something to wear
something they need
something to read
something they want
something to eat

That said, we also try to make note of what someone wants when they mention it.

My mom is fairly simple, she either wants time with the family and grandkids or pictures. We usually do a yearly photo album or calendar, she loves those.

Colorado, same. I voted 3 weeks ago.

Heart attacks go up as well.

Honestly they’re excellent. I ran across A Taste of Honey while listening to the Apple Music Cocktail Party playlist.

They still made them too. 130V bulbs / garage bulbs / heavy duty bulbs all lasted far longer on 120V because the filament was thicker. They basically never went out.

Oh hell no. You don’t remember it coming out and everyone complaining about how convoluted it was. Pepperidge farm remembers.

Exercise. If you aren’t physically tired you’ll have a hard time falling asleep. Most people with physical jobs have no problem sleeping.

Fun fact: heat pumps are more than 100% efficient. In heaters, 100% is trash.

GaN is newer technology and more expensive to manufacture. It can power laptops like anything else just in a much smaller package. I have a 65W GaN charger that charges my work laptop while on the go just as quickly as the official brick I leave in the office. You just need to pair it with a USB-PD rated cable that will handle the wattage your laptop requires. In my case, I ended up getting a 240W USB-C JSAUX cable. It’s stiff but does the job.

I’ve been fired before. It honestly isn’t that bad unless you have absolutely shit financial practices.

@PugJesus@lemmy.world does an amazing job posting interesting things in the historical communities. The above is my favorite so far.

Great advice.

And in the walking vein, good shoes are essential. If you can’t afford new shoes then good insoles are the next best thing and almost as good. Any aftermarket insoles are better than what comes with any shoe (and I mean any, that’s the thing they all cheap out on). You can buy what fits your foot (flat, medium, high arch) and they make walking painless.

I mean, there are all kinds of creatures in the soil, why not under the sea floor? We’ve known about fish, etc hiding in it as it is. This isn’t that much of a stretch. Very cool to actually see it though.
