Naomi Parker aka Rosie the Riveter passed away January 20th of 2018. She inspired so many young women with her iconic poster. She was 96. I haven't seen a lot of press on this and sadly I only just now learned of this. I wanted to take the time to honor her.

"I love it!!",
"Super cool! What is the top part made of, resin?",
"How can I inspire you to sell me one?",
"It is resin, I remember seeing the original post that inspired these a while back. I thought they looked amazing but I lack that thing needed to ever make one for myself..shoot, what was it though? Oh yeah, I lack skill and craftsmanship, that’s right. ",
"Yup resin! The green one also has a glass sphere inside that I added just to see how it would look.",
"Just send me a PM! I plan on making a bunch of these in all different colors and with different gem style cuts!",
"Time for an Etsy store. Then please share the link!",
"These remind me of the fifth element stones, so cool ",
"I'm assuming \"mysecretwood.com?\" Which still seems like a not so thought out name to me...",
"Nah, it was actually [this guy](http://eduardlocota.com/product-category/lumiere_collection/) who inspired me after someone posted his work to reddit. I thought his work was very nice but there was no way I could afford it so I decided to make my own versions for myself and to sell to friends for much cheaper.\n\n\n\n",
"You should etch the 5th element symbols into their bases ",
"Huh well I would definitely recommend checking out the website I mentioned, as it features the same style of wood and lacquer work but on rings. They are incredibly detailed. Not sure if it would fit into your price range though. ",
"Thanks, just PM'd you!",
"You should make some [Fifth Element](https://www.google.com/search?q=fifth+element+stone&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS701US701&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiE9d-TsIrZAhUq4oMKHTR8DUkQ_AUICigB&biw=1920&bih=949#imgrc=rtsmszORDLm2QM:) themed ones.",
"What happens if the bulb burns out?",
"You pull the bulb out and replace it. It's very easy.\n\nThe first few prototypes I made the bulb was sealed in there, but these lamps as well as future lamps all have easily replaceable bulbs. Also they are led so they should last a long time regardless.",
"Oh cool!",
"I've been into wood working for a long time, and lost inspiration for stuff to make. Now I found something, thank you for sharing this! I'm gonna make one now! ",
"Have fun!",
"Would you mind posting a tutorial? And what is the monetary cost of making them yourself?",
"Sure, one of these days I will make a tutorial, though there can be a lot of guesswork involved.\n\nThe monetary cost is like $20 for a good size chunk of oak or poplar at Lowes, though if you can find some wood to repurpose you can save money and help the environment at the same time. The resin is like $25 per bottle, and I use one or two bottles (be prepared to waste a lot of resin when you are first starting out from leaks and screw ups) and the electronics are about $10. The rest of the price I charge is for the time and labor, as there is a lot of sawing, drilling, tons of sanding and polishing that goes into these.",
"May I ask what price point you're selling them at? They're gorgeous!!",
"About $150 each, though I can make even bigger versions if you want!",
"That's definitely decent compared to the prices the guy you linked sells them. The other question then is where are you living and could you ship some to the EU?",
"That's definitely decent compared to the prices the guy you linked sells them. The other question then is where are you living and could you ship some to the EU?",
"Was coming here to say just this ",

"Reminds me of Adventure Time.",
"Where about I could maybe pick one up. Pm me.",
"Thanks for the info, that's quite interesting. Maybe I'll PM you in a while to get one then.",
"Wind blows, fire burns...",
"just curious, since this guy copyrighted his work, wouldnt you get in trouble for selling these recreated lamps?",
"Honestly I thought they were already inspired by that.",
"If you make fifth element themed ones, I'll buy an entire set.",
"Nah, my lamps are pretty different, plus I dont think a copyright like that would stand up, since he was not the first to do it. People have been making resin lamps for a while now. I think he pretty much just copyrighted his branding.",
"Ever considered carving the wooden bases? Love the resin, but the blocky base kinda seems uninspired next to it. Good work though :-)",
"So many people are making that comment I probably should!",
"I have considered it and probably will at some point, but the original idea for these lamps was minimalism.",
"Weren't the originals the rings that look really dull without the right lighting? I guess someone decided to make them into lights to help that problem.",
"The blue white one looks like it’s from Superman’s Fortress of Solitude, so cool",
"Do you have any resource that outlines how to smooth and polish the resin? Yours looks fantastic.",
"Corbin my man, I ain’t got no fire!",

"The one on the right is one of my early prototypes. Not my best work for sure. Here it is along side some others: https://earthenpony.deviantart.com/art/Fire-Lamps-709440665\n\nI also added gold flakes to one of my earlier attempts but decided it looked kind of cheesy.",
"Please repost if you set up an Etsy. I'd be happy to be a customer.",
"Send me a pm if interested! I've got a few requests so i'll probably make a batch this week!",

"Jolly Rancher",
"Don’t know if my original post went through. Very nice lamps. Good job. ",
"Those are so cool. How bright are they on their own?",
"Is the coloration in the resin or are you using a colored light source?",

"I mean if I KNEW, I wouldn’t have stopped smoking. Father you smoke? .... ahuh huh huh. WE ALL GON DIEE.",
"Mooltee pahs",
"It's ambient lighting, so it's not super bright. Kind of like one of those salt rock lamps. I could make a brighter version if somebody wanted a brighter one though.",
"That’s awesome, can you give a quick general overview of the process? How do you make the bulb replaceable?",
"Colored resin. I'm going to make some clear versions soon though with a colored bulb. The nice part about coloring the resin though is it looks great in a window without plugging it.",
"What is love?",
"Ok that makes sense. I don’t know why I was thinking of it as being a table lamp. Those do look really well made. Good job. ",
"If you go to etsy you will not find more than one version of these lamps, and the market wants more of them.\n\nYou can easily sell them for 125.",
"You have earned a jaegerbomb!",
"These are amazing!!",
"Basically just drilled a big ol hole up through the wood. The light slides up through the wood just below the resin. To replace the bulb just slide it right back out.",
"I'd also buy one or two. Sapphire blue maybe?",
"I made one too as a christmas gift, but used a splintered piece of firewood. If I'm not too lazy I'll upload a picture.",
"How do you go about making something so lit. \n\n\nNo pun intended.",
"Nice, I actually bought a bunch of firewood with the same plan, but the logs were too big for my saw so I'll have to wait until spring and chop them up.",
"It's a damn crime that the Fifth Element just went under everyone's radar in its theatrical release. Nowadays it's a huge cult favorite.",
"I'm definitely making a sapphire blue one soon in a similar style to the green one. Let me know if you'd like a different shape though!",
"Love the bottle of Jagermeister in the corner. ",
"That is perfect! PM me!",
"What about resin casting? What did you use for the mold? And how did you suspend/position the wood?",
"What lumber did you use? Pine? Poplar?",
"What kind of resin did you use? Did you do it in one pour? Was heat from the curing reaction a problem?",
"Just letting you know that the link to your store was removed. You'll still see it but to us it's like it was never there.",
"Thanks for letting me know, I wasn't sure if it was ok to post links, now I know :)",
"poplar for the wider ones, the skinny one is repurposed oak.",
"You can do it in one pour but there is a risk with the heat. I've accidentally cracked a few pieces while experimenting. If you want to be safe you can do multiple pours, it takes longer but there is less risk. I've tried three random types of resin so far and they all seem about the same.",
"I've tried so many types of molds from silicone to wood and even cardboard. Silicon works the best so far but it's expensive.",
"What allows the light to come back out? When you cast the resin does it now seal the light inside? Or do you use a plug?",
"Leeloodallasmultipass",
"I wait for the resin to cure before adding the light. ",
"Okay so you’re drilling the hole after the resin has been poured.",
"You should sell these on Etsy",
"Actually I drill it first and then plug it with some clear plastic. I could drill it after but sometimes accidents happen and it's better to do it first rather than risk wasting all that resin.",
"Yes! It's a multipass... ",
"Yeah, I ran into heat problems when repairing a some fence posts where the tops had deteriorated into bowls that held water (which led to more rot, etc). \n\nWhen you do multiple pours, can you tell that there were multiple pours? I'm curious whether even slight differences in the resin-~~hardware~~hardener ratios between different pours leads to visible artifacts in the final product?\n\nedit: lousy spelling",
"Same thing happened to Valerian and City of a Thousand Planets also directed by Luc Besson (creator of 5th Element).\n",

"Someday someone is going to have to throw those out.",
"use oak",
"How long does it take for you to make one (or a batch)? Also, where do you get the resin / what kind of resin is it? ",
"Can we get banana for scale?",
"Are you planning on finishing the wood?",
"It takes about three days to make one if everything goes smoothly, but a lot of that is curing time for the resin, so in that same three days I can actually make a bunch of them. Since I have some orders now, I will probably have to order resin online, but you can buy it at just about any craft store, the brands vary but they all work the same in my experience.",
"Not on these, but I can finish the wood if someone requests it. I just personally like the natural look myself.",
"Maybe they look different in person, but the one on the right actually looks the best IMO.",
"Best lamps ever,!",
"Oh yeah, some people will definitely think so. It all depends on whether you like the crystal look or the more fiery warm look.",

"I’d get a blue one if I wasn’t poor. Keep up the creative work! ",
"Wonder what blue alien opera singer lady he had to kill to get these?",
"Super good question ! Do multiple pours leave lines of different shades? ",
"Hold up, let me get you my mixtape",
"i the link of your work and the other guys work how did u guys get the color and different fractures and shapes inside of the resin",
"How did you polish the resin? You can get rid of all those bubbles if you pour the resin in layers. This means pouring it at least 12 hours apart.",
"I like the bubbles. I actually drilled small holes in the wood so there would be extra bubbles, but if someone would like a clear one I can make those too :)",
"Those are awsome!!!!! You should sell those! Beautiful! ",
"Amazing!",
"Eh, let's not pretend that movie was anywhere near as good as The Fifth Element.",

Bruce Willis was still god like at that time and then you had Milla. Was by no means some sleeper hit.\n\nI think that it broke some kind of records for DVD sales or something, or just did incredibly well in DVD sales? I don't know but I attribute that to peoples perception of it being a cult classic or something, I know it was one of those must have Blu-Rays when the format started to pick up steam.",

"Huh? Didn’t the movie like JUST finish being played in theaters?? It’s not even on DVD yet.. ",
"This reminds me of the end of mass effect 3",
"That movie is a visual orgasm",
"Do you think you could do this with a different material than wood pretty easily?\n\nWould be interesting to see a bunch of different \"bases\" like some stones or metals.\n\nI'm thinking about acid treated metal in particular could look wild with the resin lighting on top.",
"Yeah it would take some practice, but I'm sure it's doable!",
"It's the only Blu-ray I own.",
"I loved many aspects of Valerian, There was some geniunely fun ideas, good execution, visuals, interesting world building done that gives what feels like it could be an actual \"Living\" universe.\n\nBut then I just felt like the casting and certain aspects in the plot of the main story make it feel like the entire story is just some day dream taking place in the mind of some highschool kid IN that universe about him and the hot girl in his class being super space cops. But he is the higher rank of course, also a playboy, but also madly shy and akward around the girl he likes... and has the magic soul of an alien in him.",
"Agreed. The idea he brought with a extra dimensional beings from the first act where they have to wear the glasses to see the market was great, I’d never seen that in other Sci fi movies.",

"Thats really cool simple but big impact looks great",
"Siiick",
"Nice work! I bet a little stain on that wood could spiff them up quite a bit.",
"Very cool! ",
"The most is fucking fantastic and very underrated. Particularly the editing. I can think of the scene where Zorg (Gary Oldman) receives the empty case that's supposed to have the element stones from the alien mercenaries. He says: \"This case is empty\". They cut to Leeloo laughing. Then father asks: \"What do you mean, empty?\". They cut back to Zorg who says: \"Empty, the opposite of of full. Anyone care to explain?\" They cut back to Leeloo who then explains where the stones are. The father says: \"We're saved.\". Then they cut to Zorg who says: \"I'm screwed.\"\n\nNot only is the editing brilliant, the movie doesn't take itself seriously but still has plenty of tension and serious action. The costume is over the top and silly yet still works and holds up to today as well as the special effects. \n\nIt's probably one of my top 20 movies I've ever seen to be honest. It's perfect for what it is and stands alone by itself.",

"Lipocrome is more of a golden yellow color. What you’re seeing is actually just the two colors playing off each other in a way that looks green but isn’t actually a green pigment. There is no green eye pigment, only mixtures of pigment and fatty deposits that *appear* to be green. This is not a difficult concept, big guy. And it’s super pronounced in this person’s eye, you’d have to be dense not to understand that. Some people have eyes where the lipocrome is very evenly dispersed and the entire iris really does look green.

This is really very simple biology and an absolute fact. In addition, this particular eye is a lovely example of lipocrome if one wanted to give the layperson an idea of what it looks like when it’s less uniform in distribution. No one is looking for something that isn’t there but you. This is just simple eye color biology and genetics, but by all means—stay ignorant my dude. ",

OP was right in saying the color of their eye was rare even if we just go with “it’s green,” as less than 2% of people have green eyes.\n\nThere wasn’t a need for a “simple solution” because there wasn’t a problem in the first place. We’re done here. Go take a nap.",

Then it gets shipped to stores where it can sit on shelves for even longer.

Fast food is the cheapest available option, in the short term that is... in the long term it is almost always cheaper to make your own food, but that requires having ~$100 on hand to spend right now at the grocery store, and the kitchen tools to prepare everything, and the time it takes to cook, etc. etc. But also, it’s basically nutritiously void, and if it’s all you eat will lead to obesity and diabetes (which are way more common in lower SES communities.) So if you are a fast food chain, the easiest thing you can do is open up a store in a location where people can’t afford to eat anything else, and they come like ten times a week or whatever. So the restaurant is making money hand over fist, meanwhile the community is living off food that is financially and nutritionally bad for them. And that’s how you end up with such high childhood obesity in America.\n\nTL;DR: it’s expensive to be poor, and fast food companies are one of the many places that money is going.",

Just remember that the difference in price you are paying between concentrate and simply orange is for a slightly different blend of chemicals. If you are cool with that carryon.

Idk why it's just what the machine does.\n\nWith the soft drinks there is more room for error because you have to manually put the ice in, so you can have more or less ice than you're meant to and that can cause the cups to look emptier or fuller, but it's always the same amount of liquid in there.

Some kids Ik helped me pull in all the heavy stuff to help me close for the day so I make them each 3 mini Hawaiian ices (were allowed to eat whatever and I had worked there for 5 years), owners boyfriend (who my mom introduced to the owner when he was living in our basement) drives by and accuses me of being the one \"stealing their money\" despite me only working in that location 5 times as a fill in. Turns out they didn't have enough electricity in the pier shack for cameras so they had been counting cups, that was the missing \"money\". The thing they didn't factor in is the ice shack had less room then a small car and when someone turns around it's incredibly easy to knock an entire stack over and considering the floor was the actual pier anyone working there would toss those in the trash immediately, not knowing about the counting cups. So a stack of 20 cups that falls and is tossed would be what they were considering \"$80 stolen that day\". So yep, this cup counting thing is a thing businesses definitely do.",

"Dude, you didn’t know what other people spend their money, so I told you. I didn’t make any judgements.

More to the point, I’ll be able to go out any night I week I want into perpetuity, because I won’t be working forever and I’ll have the money to do it. Your lifestyle will have to either end eventually or you’ll have to work forever. So while I’m sitting on a beach six weeks a year and relaxing with friends at restaurants the rest of the time for the last thirty years of my life I’ll make sure to think about all the yummy steaks you ate that caused you to have to work until literally the day you die. \n\nPlanning your life out like it’s going to end prematurely is a bad way to live, because it will always end in a negative: either you’ll actually die (negative) or you won’t and be up shit creek because you didn’t prepare (also a negative). Also, I can’t even begin to describe to you the feeling of calm and peace and security and contentment that comes from having significant amounts of money to call on if the need arises. Life stops being about work and more about meaning because you have the freedom to make choices and take risks.

"The biggest difference is whether they have a canister fountain, bib fountain, or freestyle fountain.\n\nCanister fountains use silver cylinders that are pre-mixed with syrup, HFCS, water, and CO^2.\n\nBib fountains contain plastic bags filled with concentrated syrup. They are pre-mixed with the High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS). When you press the button to fill your cup, water is mixed in at the nozzle as is CO^2.\n\nWonder Bars (at a bar) work the same as bib fountains.\n\nFreestyle fountains use flavor cartridges. The cartridges contain all the ingredients and dyes but not HFCS. The HFCS comes in a bib to be mixed separately. This is why those fountains have hundreds of possibilities. In the bottom of the machine, there are often 30+ flavor cartridges. When you select on the screen your core flavor and then flavoring (Like Lime) it pulls certain amounts from each cartridge. Then mixes at the nozzle with HFCS, water, and CO^2. \n\nThe next factor is whether they are filtering water the same at each location. McDonald's uses a proprietary filter on their water system so it's the same flavor worldwide (plus or minus ingredients as government regulation).\n\nI wrote this on mobile, so I apologize for formatting issues. Hope this explanation helps.\n\nEdit: spelling and punctuation.",

It's a deal, and you have to pay attention if you want to get more. The 16oz may have been $1 for years, but there just isn't a price change in the works for no reason other than that you would have to be dumb to argue the price of a 16oz when a 20 and 30oz are $1.

Feces have bacteria, but they're all from your own gut, and it's not going to be unhealthy.\n\n>A big difference between urine and poop is that urine is sterile while poop is, well, you know, smelly and full of bacteria.\n\n>That said, those are the same bacteria that live in your gut and play many healthy roles in your body, so coprophagy [Ed.: this means \"eating poop,\" write it down] is not necessarily unhealthy unless the poop originates from an unhealthy individual.\n\n>In fact, a recent article published in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine showed that fecal transplants, where poop from one individual is infused into another individual's intestines, have performed better than regular antibiotics in treating certain bacterial infections that cause severe diarrhea.\n\nIn fact, transplanting fecal matter to another person's intestines performed better than regular antibiotics in treating certain bacterial infections. (https://www.wired.com/2016/11/microbiome-therapy-making-fecal-transplants-better/)\n\nSo once again, even in the best cases it depends on what your definition of 'dirtier' is, and it's honestly just a misleading comparison.",

"But the chocolate tastes so much better and brings you more joy. It helps with depression and had plenty of health benefits too. Have you ever even had fine dark chocolate? \n\nThere was plenty of vitamin C in your Flintstones vitamins. What about all the other vitamins? You still need a multivitamin or a good diet. There's so much vitamin C in your cereal, vegetables, other juices, everything really, you already got way more than you needed. Did your parents believe that excessive vitamin C was important and supplements were evil? Hippie. Scurvy is really rare, you need a really weird diet to get it. \n\nLook, I don't know the nutritional differences between the two kinds of juices. I didn't make a single claim about them. All I said was that it was artificial, so don't be buying it for moral reasons. If you think you are buying the expensive orange juice because it's more moral for the oranges, you are wrong. \n\nFresh squeeze probably is a bit healthier, vitamins degrade over time. But that isn't the point. At least with fresh squeeze, you feel like you are getting something of value. Your money is going to some small business and their employees. You are helping that single mom be employed at the bagel place. You are helping that family who owns the store. You are helping the smaller farmers who sold them the oranges. When you buy corporate Orange juice, the money goes to rich corporate assholes, their shareholders, etc. They buy bulk orange juice from farmers who are barely getting by. It's made from mass produced oranges, possible involving exploitation of illegal immigrants. \n\nAnd it's way healthier per dollar or unit time, because you have so much less of it. One glass of fresh squeeze juice once a month is a lot healthier for a dieter than two gallons a month. Ben and Jerry is much healthier than cheap ice cream, because even though it has more calories per serving, you tend to eat less servings of it. \n\nAnd don't forget about pleasure. Half a pint of Ben and Jerry produces more pleasure than a whole half gallon of cheap diet ice cream. So what's a better pleasure per calorie ratio? \n\nBrie is way healthier than cheese Wiz. Compare the saturated fat and stuff for $10 worth of Brie versus $10 worth of cheese wiz. What's healthier, $40 of craft beer or $40 of cheap beer? You can't compare per glass, not fair, because people totally end up with different amounts of glasses. The more pleasure you get from something, the less you need. The more expensive it is, the less you buy. You might spread an expensive chocolate bar out over 8 servings, where you end up eating the whole cheap one all at once, not feeling satisfied, and then getting another whole one for the next day. \n\nBuying more expensive and better food is great if you can afford it. You will have to eat less to stay on budget. You will lose weight and feel happy about it, not miss the vast quantity of cheap shit you used to eat, because the small quantity of good stuff feels even better. Cutting out dumb stuff like juice and chips means more good stuff like steak and lobster. A thin person won't get enough food if they spend all their money on nice things, but a fat person can eat less for months, maybe even a year or more, and be fine. They can sacrifice $20 worth of junk food for $20 worth of good food, because their own fat will kick in any extra calories needed. \n\nTo fat people, orange juice isn't really worth it. A fresh squeeze every now and then is a nice treat, but the daily isn't worth it. Save that money and calories for something like beer or whisky. I mean seriously, 200 calories worth of whisky is far more enjoyable than 200 calories of orange juice. The more you have something, the less enjoyable it becomes. How are you not like totally sick of it? I can't have the same thing forever. If I have something often, I end up giving it up spontaneously sometime. ",
"Maybe you're misinformed. Explain to me how it's better for your body to end every fasting period ASAP. Seriously lay it out for me. \"Hey my blood sugar is stable better load up on some shit carbs from mcdonalds\" why? So you can tax your pancreas and spike your blood sugar for it to crash around lunch time so you're hungry as hell? \n\nWhy is it better to graze than to fast intermittently? Which will your body respond to better? Worst thing about fasting is the GI load when you eat but if you eat complex carbs and proteins the load won't be that bad plus your pancreas saved all that trauma from a damn mcmuffin which might as well be a bag of sugar as far as your pancreas is concerned.

But I justify it to myself that I'm saving my pancreas from doing much the rest of the day. \n\nI have an eating problem, I always got pushed to eat when I was young, I got told \"eat even if you're not hungry\" because I was on ADHD meds that reduced my appetite. I think that kind of stuck with me because I'll demolish gross amounts of food at once if I give it to myself. So I try to pretend to myself like I'm a \"classy\" person like \"Yes I love to eat I want to eat, so I'm going to make a nice dinner that will taste really good and that will be most of my calories for the day\" and try to use the fact that I like eating so much as justification for why it's just not worth it to eat the rest of the time. Like I'm \"too good\" to eat some crummy breakfast. And I'm \"too good\" to invest into a serious lunch when I'm stuck at work away from my kitchen. \n\nIdk if it makes sense what I'm saying I'm really just rambling at this point but anyway that's me.

"Worst OJ story comes from a university. they had a 'fresh squeezed' orange juice machine where you watch oranges fall into the self-contained machine and it pours out juice from the nozzle and the waste to a nearby garbage. The staff were told that the machine couldn't not be opened up, so the workers would wash the baskets, remove bad oranges, and wipe out the disposal area. That machine was there all 4 years i was there. Last semester they started to have a fruit fly problem. A worker checked and found out how to open the orange juice machine... They shut down the cafeteria for 2 days for 'maintenance' first dealing with the years of built up molding oranges, and the fly eggs & maggots, then deep cleaning the rest of the place while dealing with administrative outrage.\n\nI'm thankful i was too cheap to pay the couple dollars for orange and maggot juice, and is part of the reason why i'd trust established fast food chains if i have any sanitation concerns.",

It can range from a lack of their favourite food affecting their motivation, to becoming very unwell from alien sources of food.\n\nSo although eating McDonald's is very unhealthy, it minimises the risk of the more severe outcome of eating the local food. Pretty big deal if you're Usain Bolt. Imagine all the funding, sponsorship and advertisement deals that would be ruined if \"Usain Bolt won't be in the Olympics because he's shitting water\". Olympics events happen only every 4 years as well, so a majority of athletes get to compete it 3 at most. ",

And around here, the inspectors are total hardasses, especially on franchise and fast food places. They've shut an Outback Steakhouse down so many times that corporate came in and literally fired everyone from top to bottom and rebuilt from the ground up. Meanwhile the fast food places like taco bell, mcdonalds, etc. all have spotless records because they know if the inspector dings them and they get bad press, corporate would be so far up their asses they'd be throwing up pink slips. However, the small town buffets and retirement homes around here? Super gross, apparently. Just super gross.\n\nAnyway yeah.

So to safely eat chocolate, you need to make sure you aren't getting too many saturated fats elsewhere. \n\nThe sugar though, in juice, dark chocolate has much less, is far worse for you. Sugar messes with your insulin, causes cravings, crashes, etc. Eating lots of sugar desensitizes you to sugar, making you need even more sugar and not even noticing. If you cut down on sugar, everything tastes sweeter, tastes better even. A salad tastes much better to someone on a low sugar diet than someone on a high sugar diet. Less sugar tolerance means more bitter tolerance and your green vegetables become delicious. This doesn't happen with fat. A low fat doesn't make everything taste fattier. A low fat diet doesn't make your salad better. \n\nIf you need to loss weight, focus first on calories, mostly by cutting excessive carbs. Switching your spaghetti from beef to turkey isn't going to make as big a difference as cutting out the garlic bread. Focus on portion sizes. Focus on extras. After your weight has long been going then, only then really about about the balance of fats. If you try to go on too strict a diet all at once, it is likely to not stick. Sure Penn Gillette successfully started with a uber restrictive diet, but he's an exception, not a rule. You can try that way, but it requires incredible discipline. \n\nSugar sugar sugar is the enemy. ",

I can assume they throw the cheese away after the time on sticker is up. But not totally for sure on this one. The hot food goes in trays and into a warmer. That is also on a timer. But when this timer is up they just reset it. ",

McDonald's has since added a section to its website clarifying that its fries are neither vegetarian nor vegan-certified. But natural beef flavor still stealthily pops up on McDonald's menus: Notably, in its soon-to-be-served-all-day breakfast hash browns.\"\n\nSo no, McDonalds fries are not suitable for vegetarians, at least in the United States (the natural beef flavouring is not used in some countries, most notably the UK and India).",

"My favorite one that glitched for me (not sure if for others) was the free McCafe beverage with any purchase. I don't know why but for months it would reappear in my app every day and had an expiration of like May 31 2018 or something.\n\nI would just go and buy a cookie for about $0.40 and get a free large McCafe. It was great. And the additional benefit I found out was that each of those free McCafe's was counting towards the \"Buy 5 Get 1 Free\" McCafe deal, which stack, so by the time the glitch was fixed, I had like 8 coupons for free McCafe's. I still have two left. Good times LMAO.\n\nThey also for a time had a coupon that was the same expiration buy for any sandwich. So again, I would buy a cookie for $0.40 and then get any sandwich on the menu for free. I didn't really use this one as much cause I was avoiding eating fast food stuff a lot more then, and it expired quicker, but I used it a couple times.\n\nBut the McCafe one was great because Frappe's, Shakes, and Coffee are my weak spot.",

Of note, Coke Zero in cans and bottles was terrible compared to McDonalds Coke Zero. I eventually settled on mixing my own with heavily carbonated cold water and syrup at 4.5:1 (instead of the standard 5:1).

At least back then, each sandwich had a set period of time (80 seconds, as i recall) to be prepared while the next one was being cooked--hence the Whopper box with its labels for specific toppings.

If you are super busy of course a manager should never expect you to measure out exactly 2 ounces of a sauce or something, but if things are manageable food waste is pretty inexcusable and normally can be chalked up to laziness. \n\nOne particular manager that has always stood out in my memory and shaped my management philosophy would give cooks a 50 to 100 dollar bonus around Christmas every year as a way of saying thank you for making me look good.

Does it take 4 seconds to prep an orange juice? Well, if prepping them shaves 4 seconds off and allows them to meet a strict benchmark time . . . \n\nThe local franchise owners (husband-wife team) here have been making a big stink about it, (not about orange juice, or at least, not in particular), but I couldn't care less because they're absolutely horrible people that should in prison several times over, (ex:captive enslavement of a Filipino housemaid using threats of deportation, seizing her ID documents, and not letting her leave their house).\n\nBut I believe them, because when I managed a Tim Horton's, I never assumed my proper pay or received any of my due bonuses because my employees 'failed' impossible benchmark times in exactly the same way.

"> Could you elaborate on this further? I don't really understand the correlation but I'm curious.\n\nYour gut is home to bacteria you've been cultivating for a long time. When you get diarrhea, it's because those bacteria are producing enzymes that irritate your colon and cause you to evacuate water through your bowel.\n\nIntroducing foreign microbes into your body is one way to piss off the local inhabitants and make them try to flush your system. One of the purposes of the appendix is to be a safe refuge for bacteria. It's a place that bacteria can't colonize easily, and is safe from being flushed out during a nasty case of the McSick. When your gut culture flushes your system, the aim is to flush everything but the bacteria taking refuge in your gut, who will attempt to re-colonize the colon ASAP.\n\nUncooked food and chilled fluids generally have more microbes than cooked food and boiled fluids. You don't get sick drinking US tapwater because it's treated with bacteria-killing chemicals, and also because you are already accustomed to what is in it.\n\nMany people say that it's because the water isn't clean, but that's not really the problem. The locals drink the water just fine. Their system has just been colonized by the bacteria that would make us feel ill. In reality, we're not making ourselves ill by drinking it, our body's existing flora is being flushed out by invaders that it doesn't yet recognize. Given enough time, you'll eventually reach a point where it doesn't affect you because you've allowed the local bacteria to gain enough of a foothold that your body isn't thrown into emergency purge every time you take a sip of the local beverages.\n\nIn the west, we actually rely on irradiation, pesticides, and antibiotics in a lot of our food, so we actually have very fragile gut ecology and slightly underworked immune systems. This is not a great thing, as while it does save a good number of lives from preventable illness, it also increases our susceptibility to serious pandemic due to loss of herd immunity.\n\nThis is why when you go to a foreign country for a short trip, you avoid drinking the water and eating anything raw or cold that hasn't been pasteurized or irradiated. If you are going to be in the country long term, though, it's far better to plan for a week of illness where you don't have anything important to do and will be near a toilet and medical attention. I've been all around the world. I've always drank the water and eaten the local food. Most countries I've been to, I've gotten a little ill, but the more often you do it in rapid succession, the more hardened you get to it.\n\nThat said, e-coli is nothing to fuck with. Wash your produce. Don't eat poop. Don't drink poop water. Don't drink well water in a foreign country if it can be helped. And definitely always ask for no ice. The poop content in US ice machines is bad enough. You don't wanna fuck with Vietnamese or Argentinian ice cubes.\n\nIf you do enough globe-trotting, you'll probably grow out of drinking cold beverages anyway.",

They can't see the whole picture. \n\nIf there's a MacDonalds that gives me the choice of a drink that's 90% ice, or a 3/4 full one, I'll go to a different restaurant. Especially when they hand out free refills inside. \n\nOr, a non-drink concept: there are two McDonald's near me. One keeps their fries until they are soggy and nasty. The other tosses them and cooks a new batch when they aren't fresh. The one that tosses the fries gets way more business than the other, because people don't want shitty fries. Now if all you looked at was fries, the tossers lose money over the keepers, because the value of the fires they toss is greater than the number of extra fry purchases. But, people rarely just buy fries. So, when you factor in the extra business from burgers and drinks, it's well worth it to waste a little money on fries to make more on the long run. \n\nOr, another example, using a single store: my local whataburger has a morning shift manager who is shit, and the customer service in the morning is shit. The afternoon and evening managers make you feel like you're doing them a personal favor by eating at their restaurant, and the employees reflect this attitude. I love eating there in the afternoon and evenings, but I hardly ever eat there in the morning. Guess which managers see better revenue on their shifts?\n\nLastly, to use your own example. If my personal assistant was overpaying, but I was getting better service, or choicest ingredients as a result, it might well be worth it. Price alone wouldn't be the deciding factor, value would make my decision. \n\nBy assuming that customers are unthinking automatons who won't notice the thousand petty slights you give them, nor the thousand tiny boons you provide them, is pure thoughtlessness. You have to look at the entire system before making those decisions, lest you miss something important, and your management style doesn't do that. ",

So a group that was drinking a *lot* might cost us 50c each.\n\nOur total per meal cost however was closer to 10$, which meant that soda was only around 5% of the cost. We were payed 20$ish depending on the group, so it cost us like 2.5% of out income. The amount it cost us is very disproportionate to the importance that guests placed on it.\n\nAs such it was just one of the smallest expenditures. When we used paper cups those were cheaper though. Wholesale we were getting them for <3c each. \n\nWhen I said it was dirt cheap is was basically under those assumptions. Fast food places with unlimited refills will not get the money out of drinks that a restaurant would using refillable cups and charging 3+ dollars. \n\nRestaurants also limit refills just by the nautre of people having to ask a waiter for them.\n\n(For the record as well: charging people twice as much as the food costs was to pay for everything else at the place, like staff and maintenance and a multitude of other things.

"Can confirm. I was in Macau and we had an afternoon tea included with the hotel accommodation.

"Not sure where you quoted that from. Certainly couldn't be my post. I put the \"cashier getting confused because of how the customer ordered it\" into the 30% cashier error category. It certainly is the cashiers responsibility to ensure they entered what you said correctly. Almost nothing in your post is even relevant to what I said...\n\nI have no expectation for customers to know the ins and outs of POS. My second paragraph was an attempt to help anyone who hasn't worked at fast food to understand potentially why the cashier was fucking their order up a lot. If getting your order screwed up annoys you then maybe it's worth a shot? \n\nThe thing that is baffling me is I explicitly stated what the 50% customer error was. \"People space out and order stuff they don't want, or forget to say no pickles\". Typically you have about 5-6 people within earshot of someone ordering, and every employee can hear the drive thru order over the speakers. Most the time they just forgot to order something or they forgot to specify their little billy doesn't like lettuce. So they come up and say that their order isn't right. I smiled and apologized and got them whatever they actually wanted. As they walk away the cashier who took the order says how she didn't even order it that way, and I say \"I know. It's all good.\" Life goes on.\n\nOn a side note, a good majority of cashiers are going to be 16~ year old kids. Most the time they are typical awkward/self conscious/shy teenagers. They want to do good but they just aren't experienced. It's not a matter of being lazy and unwilling to ask for clarity. It's a combination of huge lunch/dinner rushes and the POS using computer logic instead of human logic. In the moment it's hard to tell if the POS just attached the \"no tomatoes\" to both crunchwraps or if it did it correctly. Once a cashier makes this error I always made sure to point it out to them. \n\nBefore you reply with, \"Well then don't put 16 year old shy kids on registers.\" They are the only people willing to work at minimum wage nowadays. Most the good people would realize they could go work at a sit down restaurant for a dollar or two more an hour. It's just the nature of the beast.

That was my favorite way to drink literally everything. And if that isn't ice cold, then the only way it can be colder is to literally stop being a liquid, and you can't drink that... I can drink something like water at room temperature, but I generally prefer not to. Anything else, and generally I won't drink it if it's not cold (except something like hot chocolate which, ya know, *hot* chocolate). I also thoroughly enjoy milkshakes and smoothies, and they are, ya know, made with frozen things like ice cream and literal ice. \n\nAlso, for fruit, you're neglecting the potential for prepping multiple pieces of fruit at once and putting it all in the fridge. Cut up 4 or 5 oranges and put them in a bowl in the fridge. Go grab a couple pieces out of it and eat them real quick for a quick snack when grabbing water or something. While not something I generally do with oranges, since I'm not big on oranges, it's something I prefer to do with several other fruits like apples, and I enjoy fruits like berries or grapes, as they're already bite sized. Just grab a small handful. Love doing that with olives too, come to think of it.\n\nNo comment on alcohol, as no matter what the temperature, I still hate the taste. ",
"You're right. I was just salty in general that day. \nCheers.",
"It sounds like you have a fairly simple palate. Really cold fruit salad certainly still tastes good. I could eat grapes straight out of the fridge. But they still taste more complex warmer. That's the real point. It sounds like you aren't looking for complex. If you were to take a fancy orange and a regular orange, you'd greater be able to tell the difference at higher temperatures. Eating things cold all the time would get boring. I will take complex over simple, even if it means having to learn to like something. It's just far more interesting. It's also a fact that tomatoes permanently lose flavor when cold. Have you ever tried a never been cold tomato? It's a lot better. I still refrigerate most of my tomatoes, because if I don't they can go bad too quickly, but without a doubt the warmer ones are better. \n\nIce cream is designed to be eaten that cold. It's flavor profile is very strong and optimized for cold flavors. Things optimized for cold should be eaten cold. You are missing out on some of the joy of life though. If I made you iced coffee, would you be able to tell the difference between sumatra and Ethiopian beans? I don't think so. It takes a lot of practice just to do that hot. \n\nExpensive foods needs to be consumed at the right temperature or you won't get the full experience and waste the money. It doesn't totally matter how you consume your cheap everyday food, but i prefer to keep my palate in practice at all temperatures. I want to be ready for that day I get to have the good stuff. Just be aware that your preferences may limit future experiences. ",
"Same with margaritas. You make it fresh, you'll never want that artificial margarita mix again.",
"I was talking about Australia, where frozen cokes are a hugely popular item. You can get them at McDonald’s, but every other major fast food place does them too.

"First, there is no need to attack me, or my management style, you don't understand it. \nSecond, I never, ever said \"If my personal assistant was overpaying, but I was getting better service, or choicest ingredients as a result\" you said that, changing my words and adding meaning to suit your argument is not helping your point. I knew day one that old fries are not going to win anyone's loyalty, and that it is cheaper to keep the customer than find a new one, to me that is common sense, I eat out too. \nThird, I never, ever said cut price and value, I said don't steal because it adds up, so do not over-portion. \nIf you had an MBA, like I do, and 25 years of management, like I, you would know that customers are very savvy, and would never chose less value. This is already factored into the serving size, which is huge in the first place. (so don't steal from us if you portion fries-and more importantly don't ever cheat our customers.) \nLastly, I do not think \"customers are unthinking automatons,\" but I do think that some people need to work on their reading comprehension and manners. \n",

"No",
"They still make a large profit on $1 drinks. That's how ridiculously cheap soda is. I've seen cost estimates somewhere between 2-20 cents and largely that depends on the price of the cup.",
"Late reply here, but I had to respond -- I know for a fact that the McDonald's near me cleans their lines in the same way that the *farther-away* McDonald's cleans theirs (it's basically just a soak in a bleach solution overnight). Guess what? One of them still tastes better, and it has nothing at all to do with cleanliness. Franchise owners are generally given some leeway (as we've seen with coffee in a certain famous lawsuit). They can change the ratio of carbonation/syrup if they want. And they do. And certain places simply have a better ratio than others. \n\nEdit (just to make a slight humble-brag) -- my girlfriend was a manager at THE original McDonalds for a while, and she was the one who showed me how different franchises can use different ratios of carbonation and syrup. She was also the one who showed me the best Coke in our area, from a specific McDonald's franchise. I'm sure the lines were clean as FUCK at her franchise (since it was the original), but she found a franchise that makes better Cokes. They always do. So it probably has nothing to do with their cleanliness. My girlfriend's franchise was likely the cleanest of any McDonald's franchise in existence. But their Coke uses too much carbonation, so it simply tastes worse.",
"Yes you can. \nDon't tell anyone you ate pork today. \nPresto you did it. \n\nDo you see how stupid your argument is?",
"Have I been reported to the cyber police? Will consequences never be the same?\n\n",
"Here.. this might help you keep up, Methuselah:\n\n[This](http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/navy-seal-copypasta)\n\nand [This](http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/events/jessi-slaughter)",
"Fair enough. But dank memes aren't a crime anywhere in the US. :P",
"Ah. You should spend some time on that 'know your meme\" website I linked. It's important to understand the culture you're interacting with, otherwise you are in danger of making huge faux pas. For example, posting where to find you is a terrible idea. Not because I might come try and harm you (of course I wouldn't do such a thing), but because you open yourself to glitter bombs, SWATing, and TONS of gay porn magazine subscriptions. Not by me, but by bored basement dwellers who have nothing better to do than piss you off. \n\nNow, I'll address your claim of a threat in more serious terms. The standard in these cases is almost always the \"reasonable person\" within the community standard. Now, you are no longer within your community, you are in the community of Reddit. No reasonable Redditor would interpret the \"what did you say about me\" meme as being a threat, since it is so hyperbolic, and so widely used, i.e. has become a meme. So, an indictment would be unlikely, and a conviction even less so, even were you to pursue it. That is a perfect example of one of those aforementioned faux pas that I mentioned. Saying such things just marks you as being an outsider to the community, and a general git. \n\nSo, I don't harbor any ill will against you. I might even come hunt you down in Glen Rose to take you out to lunch (I'd say a beer, but I see from your post history that you don't drink). I used to go to summer camp out there. :)\n\nI would strongly suggest to you, though, that you don't take things on Reddit, nor on the internet in general, so seriously. It leaves one looking foolish in the long run. It's much like someone who tries oil wrestling with a pig: after a while, you realize the pig enjoys it. Don't be that guy. ",

"Sorry, just read this. Then take it off their menu or tell the customer the truth. Or better yet, why not replace it since customers are asking for it? Equipment breaks it gets repaired or replaced. I know they are run by franchise owners, but not a valid excuse. They are making money off their customers either way.",
"They do tell the truth, that the ice cream machine is down for maintenance. It takes a couple of days to get a repairman in.\n\nThe main issue is the cost of repairing it and losing profits in the meantime is many times less than the cost of a full replacement, and getting the owner to eat the cost of the replacement machine. If it was the fryers, it'd get replaced immediately, but ice cream is not required to run the restaurant, not what McD's is known for and actually doesn't sell that well, especially off season.",

"When I was younger I was super into coffee and tea (i still am actually). One day I brewed pot after pot of coffee and drank constantly all day. By the end of the day I thought \"hmm, you would have though with how much caffeine I drank I'd be jittery but no. **I must be immune to caffeine**\". \n\nI then looked for some NoDoze caffeine pills I bought a long time ago and took one. But of course I was immune so i thought better of it and took a couple more. Within 30 minutes my muscles began to spasm. Arms, legs, neck muscles, everything had this rhythmic contraction. \n\nI started freaking out so I called poison control and asked what to do. They said to go to an emergency room. I was all \"oh shit, this is serious\" and asked what will they have to do when I get there. \"They'll just pump your stomach.\" \n\nSomething about the casual way she said that made me think it was not a big deal after all. \n\nI'm not spending my parents money on that. I decided to skip the emergency room and just wait it out. The contractions lasted from about midnight to 8 am, after which I immediately fell asleep. And I felt completely normal the next day.",
"Shit! Sounds like you had a mild caffeine overdose, but I'm not a doctor and know absolutely nothing of these things, so I have nothing to base that on.",
"Since this post, I had a road-trip and vacation in Colorado/Kansas. Needless to say, we ate at McDonalds more than a few times (along with a few other fast food places, plus plenty of actual dining experiences). \n\nAnyways, I discovered the wonders of adding McDonalds Hashbrowns to their burgers. My go-to on that trip was two regular cheeseburgers with a hashbrown on each. \n\nI'd be interested in knowing if that \"special sauce\" was anything they currently have on their menu (maybe on the dipping sauces, or just the usual Mac Sauce?) to further try to recreate that. \n\nI hadn't eaten at McDonalds in some time, but between that trip and their re-release of the Schezuan(sp?) Sauce, I've eaten there more times than I'd like to admit in the past month. ",

"Handsome fellow.\nGive him a spoon of tuna from me.\n\nIs he deaf? I only ask as my mum always used to say that pure white cats often are, but I’ve never verified.",
"Normally, white cats with blue eyes tend to be deaf.\n\nFortunately, Cloud (his name) has perfect hearing and responds to the slightest sound of my voice :)",
"Very interesting. I wonder why that is. I imagine the gene pool for white/blue eyes is probably quite small so once an anomaly, such as deafness, finds its way in, it proliferates (just guessing).\n\nI’m pleased Cloud has purrrrfect hearing. He is very handsome.\n\nEdit: I now know why it is:\n\nThe gene responsible is an autosomal dominant gene termed W (for White). This gene appears to be pleiotropic – ie, it has more than one effect, being responsible for the white coat colour and also blue eyes and deafness. However, while the gene has complete penetrance for white coat colour (all cats that carry the gene will have a white coat), it has incomplete penetrance for blue eye colour and for deafness (but these two are strongly linked). Thus deafness is strongly linked to the white coat colour and blue eye colour.\n\nI also learned that white cats often have skin patterns, as if they were darker/patterned cats. And heterochromic cats are sometimes deaf in their blue-eye-side ear.\n",
