They are so short that the sign on bonuses are insane

How do you figure? Every modern heater currently being made has some type of thermostatic temp control and overheat switch. Show me one that doesn't.

Bedside nursing is an incredibly difficult job. They are angels who literally deal with sh+t, vomit, agitated patients, and high stress environments. Everyday, I wonder how they do it.

When making a left hand turn down that row, the sign can get hidden in the blind spot made by the A-pillar on the driver’s side. People don’t see it, think they can cut the corner, and run right into it.
The actual solution would be to raise the entire area with the painted cross hatch lines, and people will always be able to see that there’s a curb there and not make the mistake of cutting the corner,

They just need to take that cross hatched area and build up an island. People hit the pole because it ends up in their blind spot as they’re trying to make a left hand turn. If the entire area were an island, you’d have other visual cues that you can’t make the turn yet, when the sign is hidden.

Anything in the medical field is desperately needed.
Most of the trades too. Plumbers, electricians, etc. don't have to look too hard for work.

It's a resistive heater. It's the easiest thing in the world to figure out how much electricity it will use. What's the rated wattage on the box? That's the wattage it will use. It does not cycle on or off or adjust its heat output based on the temperature of the room.
1500w heater? 1.5kWh.
CMP charges a delivery rate of $0.12/kWh and the standard offer for power is $0.18/kWh. Power is therefor $0.30 a kWh.
It costs 45 cents an hour to run a 1500w heater. 24 hours in a day: it costs $10.80 to run it all day and night. 30 days in a month: $324 a month to run one 1500w electric heater.

True, though I'd think they'd be looking for an indoor solution, not scrolling reddit to download pdf that tells them to buy liner gloves and not drink coffee or alcohol.

>What would your "solution" be?
Well, this Walmart we're talking about, so: Make it known that anyone who hits the pole will henceforth no longer be allowed to wear pajama bottoms and Crocs into the store.
Problem solved.

Okay, the barriers are fine. I can understand the barriers.
But what in the holy McFuck does the light-up stop sign add? People aren't usually ramming into it front-first, they knock it over because they're turning to the left. Slap those bad boys on the back and maybe you have something.

Your move, Biddeford. You may not have the money to renovate the Target, but you can at least do this. Play your damn cards.

Lol, I just drove up there from Portland a few weeks ago to see this infamous bollard in person.
On an slightly related side note from my one Sunday morning visit, the Auburn WalMart feels way busier than the Scarborough and Falmouth ones.

I use a ceramic heater I think I got at BJs with a thermostat. People talk about the massive electricity bill. I use one just to keep the heat stable between furnace runs and it costs about $100 a month, but saves me much more in oil.
