    Don’t know the exact term but I work at a “last mile” warehouse, basically the place where already packaged items go to be sorted and put onto trucks for delivery. It’s a smaller warehouse but it is a warehouse. All I do is sort packages.

    And yeah I’m confused too. I avoided getting a job there for years because of all the horror stories. But my experience has been quite the opposite. Even the notorious “suicide booths” aren’t what the news makes them out to be. They’re literally just a phone booth.

    IDK maybe my warehouse is just different. I have no idea.

    One of the only positive things about working at Amazon is they they’re actually competent enough to hire enough employees to cover unexpected life events. No joke, they hand out over an hour of personal time every single day, enough to take an entire day off after barely working a couple of weeks.

    I’ve been sleeping in nearly every single shift for a year straight, coming in late constantly, and management literally couldn’t give a single fuck. They even let you come back from breaks late and no one says a damn thing. I once stretched out a 15 minute break to 45 minutes, and nothing came of it. So long as your work gets done on time it’s no problem. They even fired the one manager who would actually do things by the book and get after employees. I couldn’t believe it when it happened; it’s almost too unbelievable to be true.

    The best part is that you don’t even have to call in; taking time off is done with an app and it always gets approved instantly. If the pay wasn’t shit (only $19.50hr), I’d never want to leave.


  • Depends on whether the batteries were hooked up in either series or parallel. Later GameBoys only needed 2 batteries but required the same voltage, so I’m guessing that the OG GB is wired in series-parallel.

    So in other words, you need at least two batteries to be good for this to work in the OG GB. Later editions need both batteries to hold a charge to reach 3V.





  • The first thing I do every time I step into a hotel room is check the filter. If it’s dirty, then I bring it to the front desk to show them. I always get a free upgrade… to another room with an equally dirty filter. Which at that point I remove it and toss it in the stairwell to let it be maintenance’s problem. I can’t be bothered to put in more effort than that if the staff can’t be bothered to replace their filters.

    I don’t find it funny. All those things really happened. You misinterpreted my comment. I was saying “just kidding” to my dead dad, not you.

    I had a terrible relationship with my dad, but he was still there for me when no one else was, so I can’t hate him even if he was an abusive narcissist.

    But that’s not the point. The point is I know what you’ve been through, and I feel for you.
