Fun... Well not really fun... Fact:

Giant tortoise didn't get a scientific name for 300 years. They were so delicious no crew actually managed to get one back to England. They always ended up eating all the cargo.

Yeah, my previous employer had shutdowns on the week of July 4th and Christmas so the production operators on contract(aka not paid for holidays) could volunteer to help in the counts.

I was curious if libraries have a similar system...

One time I was sick. I was stuck in the bathroom rotating between sitting and kneeling. I texted my team lead and said I couldn't come in and I was taking a sick day.

He responded by claiming I was lying and was not really sick. I responded with a picture of the toilet bowl after several rounds(unflushed).

He responded with "get well soon"

Out of curiosity do you have a routine to periodically (annually, quarterly, I don't know) to re-arrange books put back in the wrong place?

I know they do it in warehouses to verify like "system says we have 500 of x but we have 495. System says we have 1100 of y but we have 1132" and they correct all the counts annually.

There seems to be a popular community ich_el I think. For German memes... I don't understand a word of it but it has multiple posts a day.

I looked it up https://feddit.org/c/ich_iel

No, it says (or tries to say) the 1% pay the other 99% $9.4T and that just isn't fair.

Asking out of ignorance, what exactly did he do?

To be clear I'm not saying he didn't do anything wrong, or that there is a justification. I literally just don't know what he was charged with.

Really? When I go to the bank they have a card machine there, insert card, enter pin, teller does order and if it's over $1000 require a state issue id also...
