  • In the US we have a mix of:

    • Price per individual unit
    • Price per entire unit
    • Price per weight
    • Price per volume

    And different products from the same category will choose different ones so you have to do the math anyway.

    E.g. Sometimes our berries will be sold in split tubs so you’ll get the price for the whole thing and then on the comparison tag a price for half the tub. That will be sitting next to a different brand of the same berry in a package 2oz smaller and it’s comparison text will have the price per Oz, sitting next to that is an entire other brand and it will list the price of the whole unit and in comparison will list the same price again labeled explicitly as “per unit”.

    Like every thing the US manages to shit out it’s an utterly terrible system.

    How often do you get an xray? How often does an xray tech perform an xray?

    They are safe with the frequency a normal person is exposed to them. They are not as safe if you are spending your entire work day standing next to the machine.

    I’m not a fan of memes that are predicated on a mischaracterization of medical practices as they can lead to people making uninformed and perilous decisions about their health. If your doctor recommends an xray, you probably need an xray.


  • Every vacancy affects our organization and the community we serve.

    You don’t serve community though.

    Truthfully the mayor should be ashamed of himself. The fact that this man put his life on the line for HIS city and then be criticized… don’t criticize a man who has kept us safe

    He didn’t keep you safe though, that’s not the role of American police.

    His sister, Brice Marie, said the city and police force could have used his appearance as an opportunity to “connect with the community, generate positive publicity for the town, and help improve perceptions of law enforcement”.

    “Instead, they chose a response that will likely reinforce the stereotypes they should be working to change.”

    I don’t think the popo saying things is gonna affect their public perception. They need systemic change to their duties, actions, hiring practices, and internal structures and policies for that to occur.








  • So Trump, in his racist fury, canceled an existing plan that prevented Iran from producing nuclear weapons and permitted rigorous investigations. While this plan did grant access to several billion dollars those funds were either Iranian funds formerly frozen as part of prior sanctioned nuclear activities or repayments for a trade deal the US had failed to uphold their side of.

    To replace this deal, “No new wars” Trump started a new war which ended up closing one of the world’s most influential shipping lanes, revealed to Iran how easy it is to close that shipping lane, revealed to the world how affable the US military is, lost the war he started and will have to actually pay reparations in an amount double the number of funds the Obama plan gave access to. The end result of this will be that Iran has fewer restrictions (though still no nuclear weapon), more money, and greater respect in the region.

    Trump will still claim he got a better deal.
