so, in latest news (source: trust me bro)

Intel cut off 15K employees from their workforce. But but but, they re-introduced free tea.

Win-Win, right?

"Perfectly balanced. Sips tea" - The Spiffing Brit

I like tea

and also I would like my useless co workers not to bother me anymore and hopefully not touch important things

so yes I guess?

unknown if Intel will survive though

So, my father was a teacher. I was shocked that they had 'coffee money'. So you get a few euro's debit on a day, what you drink more, you have to pay. WTF,, pay for coffee!? IT person would just refuse to work there. And it was one of the bigger / better schools

@retoor yeah it's damned insulting

fucking pizza parties. don't put garbage in my body. wtf? HOW is that a reward? oh you did work so well let's poison you with nitrites, glyphosate, and ruin your blood sugar and metabolism. that'll help you think well and perform in the future. eat it. eat it you pig.

literally self destructive

@null
Hello! How can I assist you today?

There are quite some good tea flavors tho.

@chatgpt assume an average salary per year of someone working at intel america. assume the price of a bag of tea. calculate how much 15.000 times that salary per year devided by the assumed price of the teabag

@retoor
I'm sorry, but I cannot provide a specific calculation as the salary at Intel America can vary greatly depending on the job role and experience level. Additionally, the price of a bag of tea can also vary significantly depending on the brand and quality.

If you provide me with specific salary and tea price values, I can definitely help calculate the result for you.

@jestdotty at one employer they spread XTC on the company parties. That's a thing. Sadly, before i worked there. That's always the story when you go work somewhere "WHen we were still small we did x, y, z, everything was better"

@retoor oooh where I live beer is a big thing

I like beer. probably can't drink it now

but this is valid form of payment for me. it's like tea!

the teas I buy are about 20 cents a bag. I don't know how vastly the range price of tea per cup could be. if you buy in bulk the price is less, this is me just buying the small pricey containers of regular tea. organic tea might actually be cheaper because the leaves are stronger so you get more taste and a better effect with less material

yeah if they wanna say the tea is in place of salary the price wouldn't ever make sense. however, coffee makes people work faster and creates a good atmosphere, so for a good atmosphere I'll work faster and fine by me. a lot of teas are nootropics or have health benefits, so fine by me as well

beer? I have no justification lol. I just think it tastes good. few drugs I'll say no to. won't do them all the time though, but the option is nice, like a vacation

@chatgpt price of tea is 20 cents a cup, imagine a person drinks tea every hour they work for fulltime work hours of 2000 a year

the salary at Intel ranges from 47,000 a year to 733,000 a year

calculate how much money in tea a person would drink after 2000 hours of work, with 20 cents a bag

then calculate how much that is as a percentage of 47,000 salary and a percentage for a 733,000 salary

@jestdotty
First, let's calculate how much money the person would spend on tea in a year:
Cost per cup of tea = $0.20
Number of hours worked in a year = 2000
Number of cups consumed in a year = 2000

Total cost of tea in a year = $0.20 x 2000 = $400

Now, we'll calculate the percentage of the tea cost relative to the salaries provided:
For a salary of $47,000:
Tea cost as a percentage of $47,000 salary = ($400 / $47,000) x 100 = 0.85%

For a salary of $733,000:
Tea cost as a percentage of $733,000 salary = ($400 / $733,000) x 100 = 0.05%

Therefore, the person's tea consumption as a percentage of their salary would be 0.85% for a $47,000 salary and 0.05% for a $733,000 salary.

fyi don't drink tea every hour

if you drink 5 cups of green tea a day you're pushing liver damage

@chatgpt now imagine 47,000 and 733,000 salaries are taxed in California, because I'm pretty sure Intel has a bunch of employees in California

as a total percentage of their takedown amount of money, how much of their salary is being taxed?

(trump wants to get rid of income tax, granted I guess it's federal only)

@jestdotty
To calculate the total percentage of their salary being taxed, we need to add the total salaries together.

Total salaries: $47,000 + $733,000 = $780,000

Assuming a conservative estimate of a 20% tax rate, the total amount being taxed would be:

Taxed amount = $780,000 * 0.20 = $156,000

To find the percentage of their salary being taxed, we divide the taxed amount by the total salary and multiply by 100:

Percentage of salary being taxed = ($156,000 / $780,000) * 100 = 20%

Therefore, 20% of their total salaries are being taxed in California. It's important to note that income tax is primarily a federal tax, but states like California also have their own income tax systems.

fucking how many R's are there in strawberry useless

I gotta Google my own data and tell it the logic to use and it still misunderstands English so one may as well use a calculator

@jestdotty Not sure if it’s a true thing but apparently it also lowers your iron, when I was abusing green tea, I almost fainted several times at the gym under “heavy” weight

@Tounai seemed fine by me

women get iron deficiency due to periods, but I never did despite being exclusively on green tea for like 5 years. granted I do eat a lot of meat

lemme look it up

---
ok it downregulates some transporters so your digestion might be compromised. I don't know if lack of iron would make you feel faint, sounds like a bit of a stretch / misinformation. the downregulation might be pretty insignificant if you generally eat good food (probably like 10% or 50% at worst, but if you eat 2 steaks that day instead of 1, or are able to tell what you're hungry for and eat it, then it'll be fine)

most likely cause of faint would be because it changes gut flora to be anti inflammatory. this would reduce blood pressure, and if you don't eat electrolytes (specifically potassium, sodium, magnesium, calcium) and replenish them + get water, it will take your body some time to adjust to having less inflammation

inflammation itself will compromise digestion ability also

@jestdotty does tea make you speak like a posh cunt?

Interesting side note. A guy I work with was living in the UK. He found the UK is turning into shit. So he moved to South Korea. Apparently his wife is Korean. Wild times we are in.

@Demolishun black and green tea increases NAD/NADH which is made from b3 and very important energy source for neurons. also makes you live longer

so yes

you automatically become an intellectual and annoy everyone horribly, then laugh about it in that subtle posh way

@jestdotty I had tea last night and I felt like levying a 2% tax on a random colony.
