Nutribullet does not activate – activators jammed

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/02/09

Even when keeping a Nutribullet clean, the activators can jam. One day the white lids activating the spinning mechanism were just stuck.

So below are some links that helped resolving it. They come down to get some liquid between the white lids and casing to loosen any staining.

Some people use WD-40, oil, water with vinegar or oil and vinegar. We just used some fairly hot water and a blunt knife to carefully push each white lid down.

I found most of the videos before getting the right search terms and bumping into the other links. For ease of reading, the videos are at the end.

Many people realised that “You are right” cuts short of a lot of discussions. But it has made coaching my brother as a custodian lot harder.

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/01/22

This actually is become more and more of a problem, so any hints to handle situations like this are more than welcome.

The problem is that my mentally retarded brother found this out all by himself some 18 months ago, which makes it extremely hard to coach him and be his custodian.

What happens when a huge number of people share a single grocery store loyalty card? – The Old New Thing

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/01/12

[WayBack] What happens when a huge number of people share a single grocery store loyalty card? – The Old New Thing

An interesting discussion in the comments besides this interesting article observation:

What messes up their data analysis is when two people with different lifestyles swap cards. The system sees that somebody who used to buy yogurt and bulk brewer’s yeast is now buying potato chips and frozen pizzas, and it can’t figure out what is going on.

Is the era of management over? | World Economic Forum

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/01/12

Hopefully the next few years will finally show what the incremental software development and evolutionary management has been trying to advocate since the late 1950s and 1970s: hierarchies do not work and purpose works better for the vast majority than being in a triangle.

The first slide below is from Thoughtworks who has been doing these changes for several decades now.

Traditional hierarchies are giving way to more open and creative workplace cultures.

That’s the only way to cope with complexity as talent dilutes in growing organisations.
