  • As someone who’s worked in restaurants what I recognize about this bathroom is all the beautiful tile. What that means is that somewhere in the house, there is a hose that spits boiling hot water. With this hose you can clean and sanitize a bathroom stall without ever having to step inside of it.

    The first restaurant I ever worked in was a fast food joint and they cleaned the whole dining room this way. They had that water heater turned up to fuck-you and it was a little scary.




  • Fun fact: strip clubs don’t employ the girls.

    They’re “independent contractors” who actually pay the house to use the stage or the VIP rooms. This creates a natural filter so that girls that are less popular make less money until they move on. In a mid-sized city like mine, you’ll have a hierarchy of clubs from the one with the richest clients and the hottest dancers, to the poorest clients and lest attractive dancers. Also there will be a club where black dudes are more welcome. (often the “worst” club)

    So, stripping was gig work before the term. And it’s no surprise that extra-exploitative labor practices were tested out on women first.





  • I used to work with Hospice. I once witnessed a nurse explain to a patient that their son wasn’t going to visit. The patient did not take it well. I asked her about it later and she said contacting estranged relatives on behalf of patients was practically part of the process, and refusal was more common than acceptance. Also the nurse can expect verbal abuse from both parties.

    I don’t know wright or wrong, but I do know that death regularly fails to overcome estrangement.




  • The point of those kind of estimation methods is not so you’ll agree with a clock, it’s so you’ll agree with yourself if you do it twice. Using a “foot” as a literal measuring unit isn’t so dumb if only one person is measuring.

    In cooking, what a “cup” is in volume can vary by like 30% from cook to cook and depending on environmental factors. But if you’re the same cook, working in the same environment, your method will work every time.
