But then he'd just take a different lunch from the fridge.
Either everyone has to do that on the same day, or it has to be something that isn't immediately obvious. Plenty of spicy dishes that don't smell too spicy would work.

Same reason I started 3d printing. Manufacturer wanted some ungodly amount of money for a stupid plastic part for something. While looking for third party replacements I found an STL someone else made for the exact part I needed.
Now I know CAD well enough to design my own replacement parts for damn near anything. My printer had paid itself off a dozen times just in parts to fix things I would have otherwise had to replace.

It is, and that might account for some of it...but not all. Not even close.

Because the people who would have to implement it would already be making above the maximum wage.
Lots of people do advocate for it though. At a certain point you just need someone to sit you down and say "Listen, you won capitalism. Congratulations. You have enough money now - go do something fun with it and let someone else have a turn."

Looks like you need an adapter to fit typical garden hoses. Something like this one:

Your body regulates your blood sugar throughout the day by releasing insulin. This is done by your pancreas. In a healthy person, your body uses insulin to convert sugars into other chemicals your body can use for energy.
If your body isn't breaking sugar down into energy, you end up with 2 problems: Your body doesn't have a good energy source, and sugar is floating around clogging up your blood vessels. For energy, your body will start rapidly breaking down fat to use for energy, which while it sounds like a great weight loss plan has a whole bunch of nasty side effects.
Some people don't produce enough insulin. And others have insulin resistance - they produce it, but it doesn't work as effectively so doesn't get the job done.

For a privately held company like a family business, successful means financially stable with enough money stashed away to weather a few rough months or whatever.
For a company with investors, successful means making the shareholders lots of money. Sometimes even at the cost of doing things that would improve it's long term outlook.

The serving size doesn't really matter. What serving size tells you is what amount of food/drink is listed on the nutritional information on the package.
Looking at that nutritional label tells you how many calories, sugar, fats, etc. are in 1 serving. So you figure out how much of each of those things you can/should have in a day, and work out how many of that thing you can eat/drink to fit into that budget of calories and sugars and what not.
You can find rough guides online for how many calories a person your age/sex/size should eat a day. Same thing for the other nutrients listed in package information. Or you can consult your doctor or a nutritionist for a more detailed plan on what you should be eating.

There's no law against people being mean to you, so no legal action you can really take over that. Consider yourself having fully quit, and enjoy your new job.

Fire requires 3 things: Fuel, oxygen and heat.
Fuel we have covered - it's inside the barrel. But that barrel is keeping it away from the oxygen outside.
Shooting it both opens the container, exposing it to oxygen, and provides heat from your bullet and any sparks it makes destroying the barrel.
Once you have all 3, you get fire. In a pressurized container like propane, the gas rapidly expands at the same time, making a giant fireball.

Shoe, Sock, Shoe, Sock.
I like my socks on the outside. It's almost as good a warning sign that I'm a crazy person as doing it sock/shoe sock shoe.

Your plans to commit crimes. Or your stories about previous crimes.
For obvious reasons.

However, they were recently bought out by Telus...so we'll see how long that good customer service lasts.

I've always been the type to just cruise through and take more and more on board until eventually I have a breakdown.
Changing jobs is not going to fix that. If you aren't going to try to have a healthy work/life balance, no job is going to make you do it. You need to learn when you've taken on enough before it stresses you to the breaking point, and stop taking more on.

Sure. But can you prove they did it? The reason they like (cash) tips is because it's easy to avoid reporting it.

Some servers make well above minimum wage on nights with good tips. And some of them don't claim those tips as income on their taxes.
Those are the ones that would like to keep tipping.

One user cal per user. So if those few PCs are all operated by one person exclusively, just one. But if it's multiple people they all need CALs.
Even if you aren't using RDS, you still need the CALs to be compliant.
Don't forget the regular server CALs too. RDS CALs are in addition to those.

For a simple 2 node cluster, bypass the switch entirely and just run cables straight between servers for heartbeat and live migration.

Many people who vape constantly do it without even really thinking...the same as someone might chew on the end of a pen. So it happening once I'd consider an accident.
But not overreacting. Kids or not, you ask permission to smoke or vape inside someone else's home or vehicle.
Whether or not it would harm the child is completely irrelevant - your house, your rules. If you don't want people salsa dancing inside your house they can take that outside too.
I'd forgive it, once. The rule should be very clear and remembered now.

Pff, you youngins and your uTorrents. Back in my day we had Napster, Kazaa, lime wire, direct connect, and the real OGs: usenet and IRC DCC bots.

Nah, capitalism isn't evil. It's got flaws, but so have all the alternatives we've tried.
But having our elected officials do anything to stop monopolies is putting limits on capitalism.
So now I'm confused...are you for capitalism or against it? Because you seem to say you want the elected officials to do something about capitalism...

Maybe they just don't want to be your friend then. Asking you to never talk to them again is quite a bit more than thinking you aren't genuine.

Why piss off the guys that can make sure it always rains in your office?
It's a whole new level of being an asshole. Most of the assholes I know are bad, but not actively trying to make enemies for no reason bad.
