Royale with Cheese Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Today I learned our office maintenance team takes off on Friday's before a 3 day weekend. It's warm in Atlanta, my office in on the side where the sun hits it most of the day and the office AC isn't on. I've got my office door shut and locked because I'm working with my shift off....literally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoBills808 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 TIL the goddam price of pulp and paperboard has gone up $50/ton and as a result produce boxes are getting a 9% increase across the board effective July 1.

We had to stop using waxed boxes because Whole Foods and other like minded institutions can't recycle them, so I'm thinking plastic is totally on the table. They print out nicer too.

ExiledInIllinois Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 TIL I learned Gugny's cat trick. TIL I learned Turkey eggs should be between 101.1-105.1 degrees. and survive less than 20% of the time in the wild. We get Canadian geese nesting everywhere @ work.... This was a bad year... About 15 eggs have been abandoned and left for "duds." Bald eagles were abundant though... Counted about a handful for USACE sighting reports. This condidering it's in the industrial part of SouthChicago and SuperFund sites nearby & dead 40 years ago: "A majority of Bald Eagles nest in Alaska and remote areas of Canada. A small number nest in the United States in areas where isolation can still be maintained. Major nesting areas are concentrated in: the Far West, (Alaska, the San Juan Islands off the coast of Washington, as well as Washington, Oregon, and northern California); the Upper Midwest (central and northern Minnesota, northern Wisconsin and upper Michigan); and the East Coast (Maine, the Chesapeake Bay area, and Florida). During winter months, bald eagles are widely scattered throughout much of the continental U.S. Substantial numbers may be found along the Upper Mississippi River and its larger tributaries. Smaller concentrations may be found in other areas, including the deserts of the West and Southwest." Swans... Only seen a few this year...

Mr Info Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 TIL the goddam price of pulp and paperboard has gone up $50/ton and as a result produce boxes are getting a 9% increase across the board effective July 1. Thinking of going plastic next year. Have you considered bags/containers made from plant materials? But I am not clear on their pricing comparison but if paper/pulp keeps increasing perhaps this could be considered as an option. This is one of them but there are many others: http://www.worldcentric.org/ My wife uses them (or similar) for utensils, plates, take out containers, etc. for her mobile food trailer. It costs more than plastic but she uses "everything is compostable", "taste not waste", etc. in her marketing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian Bills Fan Posted June 5, 2017 Author Share Posted June 5, 2017 TIL Matt Damon and Ben Affleck originally wrote 'Good Will Hunting' with an oral sex scene between the main character and his shrink to see which film execs had truly read the script. They sold the film rights to Harvey Weinstein of Miramax, the only one to mention the scene was wildly out of place CBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
