In my experience the major time sinks happen when multiple McFlurrys were ordered. Mixing one takes about 15-30 seconds, and if too many are ordered at once the ice cream would start to come out slower.

When you’re backlogged with multiple people in line, multiple orders, and you’re a 1-3 person crew in the front, every second counts. Ice cream was the easiest thing to cut because of the stereotype that it was always broken so people didn’t question that it was “down”, and those precious seconds made my 17 year old life much easier.

When I worked there during our lunch rush, we would have a person dedicated to every task, fries, coffee, orders, bagging. When it came to the dinner rush, we would have half the staff or less then our lunch rush. So in a sense it is the work of 2 to 3 people. Also during overnight we would have only one person in the front, and one in the back. Once Uber eats came on the scene our workload increased 3x or more, but no extra staff was added! :-)

Edit: that’s not even mentioning when we would be short staffed, due to people not showing up / calling in, which happened every other day it felt like, and the shift wouldn’t be replaced.

The Math 1-3 courses intersperse all of those courses and provide a more streamlined path. I would personally recommend using those 3 courses to learn up to pre-calc.

I don’t think it’s correct to say ADHD is being suppressed. People with ADHD take amphetamines to make daily life easier, like actually being able to stick to a schedule, or maintain a clean house.

In this context I mean specifically teenage girls. We can allow teenage girls to enjoy something without belittling them. Adults constantly telling teenagers that what they enjoy is worthless is not ok.

It’s easy to say that they should be more resilient, but that comes with time. Being a teenager is tough to enough without adults trying to tear them down.

Furthermore, the issue is that teenage girls are specifically the targets of this harassment. And they are only being judged because they are enjoying something while being female. That sexist attitude needs to change in the media and peoples opinions.

I agree that people need to be resilient of people having different opinions. At the same time, I think the author made a good point that media specifically targeted at teenage girls is subject to extreme mockery, unlike anything I’ve seen directed towards teenage boys.

I think we can encourage people to be resilient, and at the same time take a second to think, and then not belittle someone’s interest just because it’s enjoyed by teenage girls.

I don’t know where in Canada you are, but I can promise you that’s not true anywhere I’ve been in Ontario.

I will be very disappointed if they remove this option. I’ve used the compact option since I first installed Firefox.

I may have to try one of the forks that brings back Mozilla’s removed features.

The study is actually rather neutral. All the study says is that people who are less adept at complex mental tasks are more likely to follow authoritarians.

It doesn’t say anything to the effect of people on the left or right are more intelligent than one another.
