It’s going to be a bit slow, and there is a lot more account security that has been implemented.
Keep an eye on your e-mail, everyone is going to have to re verify their account and change their archive password.

PAID Time off is always great benefit to have. 

Oh yeah. Got promoted to full time the first thing management did was try to make me work nine days in a row.

Skeleton crews are only appropriate on Halloween, otherwise, penny wise but pound foolish.

Happy Yule Time to you too.  Let’s not forget, only 309 days to Halloween! 

Oh @Desiderius PriceI so adore you sometimes.
Yeah, I’m heavily skeptical but I also know people also didn’t think the internet wasn’t going to be a thing. Yet, here we are lol.
The first step of creation is by making the world accept the concept.

Do what’s right for you, of course.   Keep a plan B in place, and maybe this amazon warehouse is better?

When it comes down to it, only you know what’s the best decision for you. If your friend can guarantee you’ll be on third shift with him, so you can get a ride home, and if you think you can handle the pace of the work, then you might be happier at Amazon.
The thing is, employers tend to take a dim view of people quitting and then looking to return because they found out the grass over at Amazon really wasn’t any greener than the grass at Wallyworld. It never hurts to have a Plan B in case you decide to make the move to Amazon, and it doesn’t work out for you.

Thank you! It’s a wild ride, life is, but I’m glad to be still riding!   

Do be careful whatever you choose. Amazon is not worker friendly by any stretch.

TBH, I’m a bit skeptical to the claims in the video – feels like something I’d see in a game/film trailer.  However, assuming these claims are true, it would be revolutionary (undecided if it’s good or bad).  It’d either fuel mad scientists dreams or relieve woman of the perils of pregnancy/childbirth.  Imagine if it could handle later-stage embryos; transplantation in lieu of abortions.  Or, if you raise ‘em brain dead, you could clone yourself; or cannibalize it for spare parts.  Oh, the possibilities… both in real life and for stories

@BronxWenchMight I ask for the details of the recipe?
Thinking about it for Christmas

Sure!
For the glaze, I use 12 ounces of fresh cranberries, 1 teaspoon of orange extract, 2 mandarin oranges, peeled and chopped roughly (save the peels), 1 cup of water, and 1 cup of sugar (although if you don’t want it too sweet, you can use ½ cup of sugar). Bring the water and sugar to a boil in a medium saucepan, then add the cranberries, orange extract, and chopped mandarins. Reduce the heat so you get a gentle boil, and simmer for 10-15 minutes until the cranberries have burst open, and the liquid has reduced most of the way.
For the duck, preheat the oven to 350°F. Put the duck on a rack (really important) in a roasting pan, and put a few pieces of the mandarin peel in the cavity. Brush some of the glaze over the duck.  Roast for 45 minutes, painting the duck with glaze every 15 minutes. Take the pan out of the oven and prick the skin all over, so the fat will release and drain off. Put the duck back in the oven and roast for another hour and 15 minutes, painting the duck with more glaze every 15 minutes. I check for doneness with a meat thermometer. For duck, I check the thickest part of the breast, and it should reach 175°F. If the duck isn’t done, keep glazing every 15 minutes and checking the temperature until you reach 175°F.
The rest of the glaze makes a nice sauce for the cooked duck when you serve it. 

I like duck with a cranberry and mandarin orange glaze. It’s pretty easy to make, and the tartness really complements the duck so well.
(And now I want duck…   )

Duck is amazing. My aunt used to make it with dressing. So good.

All of that sounds amazing so now I want duck too 😭

If I ever have the option of trying swan, I’m jumping on that chance   Swans are protected up here, and I don’t think anyone’s ever thought of eating them up here, but I’m all for pretending I’m a 16th century French royal gorging on some swan
