acalzycalzy··on Sauce that survived Italy’s war on pasta
Ha sure a matter of taste…BUT i stand by the fact that 99% of people don’t know jack about what tastes good.
acalzycalzy··on Sauce that survived Italy’s war on pasta
US.

That being said some of the best canned tomato products are Italian.

The best American canned tomato is Stanislaus - only available to food service companies

acalzycalzy··on Sauce that survived Italy’s war on pasta
Side note: the reason pasta sauces made with canned tomato base taste so much better than pasta sauce from scratch is that the water taken out from the canned stuff is done with a vaccum evaporizer: it’s able to boil out the water at a temp of 140F vs 212F on a stove top. Less heat == more flavor

acalzycalzy··on Tell HN: I'm Afraid We're Shutting Down
«Now our workers were reticent to come back to work. And if they did accept a job, they’d often leave after only a few days.»

Something i was arguing in another post and all you tech warriors sitting in your desk chairs didn’t think it could be true.

People are lazy

acalzycalzy··on The US “labor shortage” is just a wage shortage (2021)
Never said it’s an issue bud - just calling it what it is and what’s going on.

Get over myself? You’re the one acting like you have sand in your hoohaa.

acalzycalzy··on The US “labor shortage” is just a wage shortage (2021)
Not ancedotal. I know a lot of people who own service businesses all over the country. It’s a problem wherever you look.

They pay there bills but are stretching the money they have. Credit card debt has surged.

Why shouldn’t anyone? If i bust my ass and start a business and employ 100 people and make enough to buy 3 ferraris - is that a problem?
acalzycalzy··on The US “labor shortage” is just a wage shortage (2021)
I know, and credit card debt has surged. People are doing the best they can to get by on a lot less and not have to work.

Did all these service workers become programmers and are working from Bali?

acalzycalzy··on The US “labor shortage” is just a wage shortage (2021)
What are you comparing it to? You get raises every 6 months, health insurance, 401k…

People are just complaining.

Lots of people who work at my local costco have been there since i was in my teens and now I’m in my 30’s

acalzycalzy··on The US “labor shortage” is just a wage shortage (2021)
People who are used to making betweeen minimum wage and say $20/hr - getting their standard unemployment check PLUS $600 a week? - ya to them that was living like the 1%: staying home and making more than they were making before and doing what they want.
acalzycalzy··on The US “labor shortage” is just a wage shortage (2021)
Not true at all. A lot of people simply do not want to work. I know the manager of a Costco, and people come to work on their first day and then leave during their lunch break never to return.

Costco offers great pay and benefits.

The biggest thing people don’t talk about is a lot of workers got paid to stay home during Covid. In essence, they were living like the 1% and got used to it. Now they don’t want to go back to living their pre-covid life but guess what? Everyone can’t be part of the 1%.

Not really. You say that now as if your non partying time would have been perfectly spent toward a goal of bettering yourself. In actuality you probably would have just putzed around in your dorm not doing anything that would have impacted your professional life trajectory.

acalzycalzy··on We’re Optimizing Ourselves to Death (2019)
Turns out we are also over analyzing things to death...

Maybe some tech people are over optimizing, but 99% of people in the real world do not.

This article reminds me of some friends in tech who sit down and over analyze shit and never get anything done.
