A missing newlywed nurse has been found dead – and her neighbor charged with her murder www.cnn.com

Three days after a just-married Oregon nurse was reported missing, she has been found dead and police have arrested one of her neighbors. Melissa Jubane, 32, was reported missing on Wednesday after she didn’t arrive for her morning shift as a nurse at Providence St. Vincent Center in Portland, “raising concerns among her coworkers, friends, and family,” the Beaverton Police Department said in a Saturday morning Facebook post.

    Is there a way to apply and be a scab?

    But id be the absolute worst employee. Like they'd tell me to do something and I'd do bare minimum while also shouting, "Well shit y'all can use a union."

    I'm fully employed already in a salary position in a major tech company.

    Honestly I love self checkouts when I'm only grabbing a handful of things.

    The issue is that a lot of theft occurs with self checkout, as people are checking out 2-3 things but secretly standing away a pile of things and walking out of the door.

    Self checkout at this WinCo led to multiple security guards stopping people from exiting until they can review your order.

    My local Wincos had a self checkout, and only have 1 or 2 cashiers open. They used to have two security guards and three cashiers managing the self checkout, with a massive line of people all the way to the back. It was like that for two years. Today, I visited and they took the whole thing down, while having 5 checkout lines open. No security guards. Real pleasant experience.

    A story about Boomers in Tillamook, OR on reddit

    Thought the folks on lemmy would like this. Original: https://www.reddit.com/r/BoomersBeingFools/comments/1by5wkx/boomer_lady_at_the_water_company_asked_if_i_sold/ Ok… picture it… Tillamook, Oregon. Yes, THAT Tillamook. Tiny town with more cows than people and most people who live there are old and crotchety. When you call the water company in the rural areas around town, a lady just answers, “Hello,” in a cranky voice that sounds like she was doing something way more important when you called her. She hand writes your bill on paper note cards and they don’t accept anything but checks as payment. Anyway, a couple weeks ago I call and tell her that I need to disconnect the water or put it in the new person’s name. Her: “It’ll be easier to just put it in the new person’s name. Do you know it?” Me: [name that sounds like maaaaaaybe it could Asian, but not really] Her: [name]? Are they Chinese? Me: I don’t know, but they’re moving over from Hawaii. So I kinda doubt it. Her: Well, good. Cause you know all them Chinese around here are all a bunch of drug dealers. Me: Uhhhhhh. Her: Alright, I got it down. You’ll get one more bill. [click] I sat there for a minute with my phone in my had, wondering what the fuck I had just heard. I always felt like everyone in that town had a robe and hood in their closet, but they usually kept it pretty low key. In any event, I sure hope that she gets to see the new people and rest assured that they have pretty, white faces. Fucking boomers. Especially rural, white boomers.

    Distilled water does not have chlorine!

    With kimchi, I used very little water (only the amount the recipe suggests). The veggies I use( Chinese cabbage) contains a lot of water naturally and my batch always overflows once fermentation happens.

    Asus 202c from 2016. They're EoL, so they don't get chrome OS updates. Which means the Play Store is also outdated.

    Overall, they're pretty nifty. Battery life is still solid. Keyboard and case is pretty durable.

    I actually have a few of these chromebooks! (You can buy them from schools) I've reformatted one with Linux. Another is Chromebook + side loaded for coding. This one is just for browsing and taking notes.

    But just the thought that some old person buying a computer and going, "Lemme pick up these Google Things that are $100" only to end up with these errors makes me sad.
