Holidays? PFFFFT!

takes an extra two hours. [Yes, hours, this is DC]
Ugh, DC traffic. I worked there for a while, contracting. The traffic was so horrible I wound up paying a ridiculous amount of money to have an apartment a ten-minute drive from work.
-
-
So, in other words, 2 blocks away?
Hah, no, it was about a mile, but almost all of that was residential streets, so I had almost no traffic to deal with. Admittedly it was a lucky confluence of locations.
And then they opened a Wegman's literally across the street from the apartment complex.

Was that good or bad?
-
That would be catastrophic. Yuppies love them some Wegmans. Total traffic jam 24/7.
Of course, I'm yet to find a difference between Wegmans and the older regional supermarkets except that Wegmans has a buffet.
-
Basically what I thought - except I figured that @FrostCat's rent doubled.
Haven't been to the Wegman's - it's waaaay out there in the country.
When they first moved in I was heavily ADD and friend advised me "No, no go, too much shiny..."

Wegman's started in Rochester, 50 miles from here, so I know them well. Most grocery stores are very similar, but one thing that is unique about them is that Wegman's is almost always near the top of Fortune Magazine's 100 Best Companies to Work For list.On a similar note; the other local grocery store, Tops Markets, was bought by Ahold which also owns Martin's. They renamed one of the Tops location to Martin's and people stopped going there. They eventually renamed the store back to Tops and the customers came back. They didn't change what was on the shelves, the prices, or the staff, but many people drastically changed their opinions of it. So, I put little value on it when people say they like a certain store the best.

It was actually good because it meant I could get groceries walking. And there was a crosswalk.

But you can still technically double something that has been doubled. You just have to
commityour transaction.

You can, but they didn't.

"IT staff will need to perform a one-off manual process once a day to move work from a plant that is closed to a plant that is open"
Hi @Weng, so what happened? Did anyone have to go in?

Oh BTW it's now damn near 7:00 and I'm still here, dealing with stupidity.
He might have never left, and is still lost in there...

Apparently the very angry email I sent about manufacturing abusing our staff made it to the VP level and manufacturing was subsequently told to eat a big bag of elephant dicks.

Victory!

UnVictory: 4:55PM 1/2/2015 (reminder: Regular business hours are over at 4). The fuckers open an emergency ticket. "THE WHOLE THING DIDN'T WORK!"
I am displeased.

"Which elephant dong didn't you eat?"
-
Nice. I'm guessing they hit issues before getting to the "once-a-day manual process" bit.
-
I'm fortunate enough that if a ticket like that got as far as me I can say, "What didn't work? Windows? Standing-under-an-anvil? Making toast in a bath tub?"
Seriously punt that shit back as no-repro. Let the bodies hit the floor.
I'd have an appropriate link but appraently youtube has shat-itself so this will have todo:

"THE WHOLE THING DIDN'T WORK!"
Repair/replacement of "The whole thing" timeline:
-2 weeks to gather requirements
-2 weeks to determine required materials/personnel
-4 weeks to initiate RFP (Request For Proposal) from vendors to ensure best pricing
-Anywhere from 1 to 104 weeks (or more): Time required for corporate management to decide to move forward on timeline and approve necessary funds
-4 weeks to requisition materials and personnel
-2 weeks to implement
-2 weeks to allow for time to respond to constant management requests for information on why this is so far behind as it wasn't done by the deadline - a.k.a.: the day before approval was granted.Alternative: replacing the entire manufacturing department.
That should cover it.

So you should finish ahead of schedule, if everything takes negative weeks.

Discourse "List Items" defaults to negative signs instead of bullet points.

At least it worked for you (sort of...)
-
I wasn't expecting it to - it was behaving the same way for me earlier as it did for you.
-
You need a blank line before the list (or the list has to start the post), or it isn't made into a list. Also, you have to have a space between the list indicator and the text.

Let's see:
Launch MS Word, select list and type:
• One
• Two
• ThreeNow, Discourse:
- One
Two
Three
Nope, loses it after one. Have to add the minus signs manually (like above).
Or, I could try:
- one two three
Highlight & select, click list - oh, now it's all in one line.
Is the problem Chrome?
EDIT: Minus signs turn into bullet points when I don't add them in. Interesting, even though preview shows minus sign on second try, bullet point on first. Weird..
If I have to fight the tool, I tend to bypass it instead - esp. when the "discoverable" feature isn't so discoverable.
I'm sure someone in this forum covered this months ago.

So it works
randomlydiscoursistently. Nice.

I think where I went wrong earlier was no space between the - and the next character. And also the new line thing.

Wow, that's "special."

I like the store I go to the best because it's so close to my house.
-
I'm about equidistant from three different stores. My favourite is the one with the nicest bread.
-
Actually, there's another store roughly the same distance away, but they have slightly higher prices for many things I buy (for one thing, everything there is a brand name item...they don't have a store brand) and my store has a rewards program that gives me discounts at the gas station.
That other store has a more variety of international / ethnic sorts of foods (including stuff like entire frozen lambs) and an interesting produce department. I go there for specialty stuff, but not for every day things. Their meat department also has lower grades of meat, so if I'm willing to sacrifice some quality I can get a deal.
-
The stores all manage to do decent meat round here, especially if you're choosy and willing to buy what's currently on special offer rather than always insisting on getting prime steak. (Only one of the stores has a petrol station attached due to restrictions on the other two's sites.) All do store brand stuff, some of which is very good indeed (the store brand sauces — mustard, etc. — tend to be excellent). There's also two discount stores at about the same distance too. Some nice stuff, and keen prices, but not complete ranges or strong availability, so you can't count on doing a full shopping session there.
We tend to go elsewhere for spices and best-quality meat and cheese. Ethnic shops are the best source for the former (much cheaper!) and there's a market town about 5 miles away which is best for the other two (though that's a pricy option, so mostly for special occasions and treats).
Without a space in front of the *first* entry.
