Lol glad to hear it!

Are you alive today lol

Before my current job, any job I’ve had had an 8.5 hour shift with a half an hour unpaid lunch. But I managed to score a gig where I have an 8.0 hour shift with a half an hour paid lunch. It seems uncommon in the US, but I guess it must be common elsewhere.

I’ve literally never had this happen in my life. I also can’t imagine how it would even be possible unless the person working at the shop is physically spraying the cups with cologne.

I’m using Voyager. I can zoom in on the image

How do you pronounce Wafrn?

I’m not sure if this is ADA compliant. It might be the reason why we don’t see these very often. I had one of these at work though.

It’s not more convenient 95% of the time if you don’t live in a place where you can just plug it in all the time. Until people are able to figure out how to get widespread adoption of EV charging stations in apartments and condos, EV adoption by the general public is significantly limited.

This is such a bizarre design. I wonder why they don’t just make a bit of a longer “leash” attaching the cap to the ring. Because then the cap wouldn’t detached but it also wouldn’t be annoyingly in the way like this.

Here in the US, I haven’t seen these bottles yet, but I wonder if we’ll be getting them at some point. :p

Isn’t a salad wrap no longer a salad? If it’s encased in breading then it’s a wrap/sandwich, not a salad. It’s like calling a vegetarian burrito a salad.

Also in terms of games…I know Steam compatibility is supposed to be great, but if you use other platforms, you might run into some issues. Most of my library is in the Epic Games store (I know, terrible to admit this online…but they give you a lot of free shit), and I just could not get it to work at all the last time I tried Linux (maybe 6ish months ago).

Whenever I try switching to Linux, there is always something that doesn’t work right and takes forever to finagle with to fix if it’s even possible. I’m primarily a Linux Mint fan (daily drove it on my aging desktop until it died of old age a few years back), but I’ve also dabbled in a few other noob-friendly distros like Ubuntu (was really into it when everything was still orange and brown lol) and Pop OS.

Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love using Linux to breathe new life into older systems, but it just isn’t a good option for me personally if my device hasn’t gotten sluggish yet.

As an example, I have an aging laptop that started blue screening a bunch. It doesn’t support the Win 11 upgrade due to it’s processor not meeting minimum specs. So I thought it was finally time to see if Linux would improve it.

First of all, I had a hell of a time installing various distros without having them boot to a black screen after installation completes. Took absolutely forever to finally sus this out on the various distros I tried. Then I find that the couple extra buttons on my basic Logitech mouse don’t work. These are essential buttons for me that I use constantly. I go through a million troubleshooting steps before finding out that it’s a Wayland issue, so I switch back to Xorg and everything is cool. But then I start running into lag issues which never occurred on my Windows install. I also tried playing some games I had in my Epic Games library. I could not for the life of me get it to work, no matter which platform I tried. I get that Steam has better Linux compatibility, but not all of us have all of our games on Steam.

Finally got tired of the whole ordeal and switched back to Windows. Did a bit more troubleshooting and seemed to have resolved the blue screen issues and now it seems to work perfectly and much better out of the box than Linux. It’s not an old enough device a Linux refresh to be worth it yet.

I get that Lemmings are die hard Linux fans, and I think Linux has some fantastic use cases…but for many users it actually isn’t a good alternative. I find it works best when you want to breathe new life into older hardware or if you have every component specifically built to work for a particular Linux distro. But when basic features don’t work properly without hours of troubleshooting (if you can ever get them to work at all), it’s a little hard to just recommend it to your average Joe whose Windows/Mac computer works just fine.

This “everything just works” Linux experience a lot of people talk about on Lemmy/Reddit has absolutely never been my experience, even though I’ve been a casual Linux fan for over a decade now. Meanwhile, I’ve had the opposite experience with Windows (unless you’re talking really old Windows versions like Win XP and older).

Yeah I am way too scatterbrained to pay all my bills manually lol.

How recent is this? Because if it was in 2024, it’s ridiculous to keep blaming COVID.

I felt bad for you in this post, but now you’re sounding kind of like an asshole. You can have technically good stats on paper but it doesn’t mean you are immune to doing something stupid. I also had really good stats in school, but I am of perfectly average intelligence. It doesn’t make me any better than anyone else and it doesn’t make me immune to stupidity. You did something stupid. I’m sorry, but it’s true and it happens to everyone. Accept it.

If someone is savvy enough to have done this, surely they would have changed the password as well? Worth a shot tho, I suppose!

Rather than prime adding value, it’s simply providing the regular service, while they intentionally give non-prime members a manufactured worse service to entice them to pay.

I mean, I suppose you could say something like that. But the problem is that nearly every other non-Amazon online retailer has ungodly slow shipping and you often have to pay an extra fee for shipping on top of it.

I know Amazon is a horrifyingly large mega corp, but there isn’t a decent alternative. They actually do provide a good service for the pricetag. (Unless we’re talking their digital services which I’ve never used and are trash.)

Maybe I’m just lucky because I don’t live in a rural area. So my packages actually come relatively quickly. Other retailers make me wait over a week and pay for the privilege to wait forever.

I think it requires 1GB and it’s an incredibly recent requirement that that does not show up well in most search results. I had the same issue on a recent install and I had to go searching around the internet to figure out the actual size like you did lol.

I’m assuming she had breast implants and she thought one of them ruptured. It happens and isn’t life threatening.

I’m sorry that it wasn’t the case though.

I have a 6 year old Dell laptop and was hoping Linux would make it snappier. Ubuntu ran the best on it of the distros I tried, but it still had lag issues that I didn’t experience in Windows. I was able to to troubleshoot some other issues I had to get everything running mostly pretty good, but not that one.

I feel like if you want to go the laptop route, it makes a bit more sense to buy something officially supported.
