that’s alright, that’s what drivers with reverse cameras do as well, just stare at it and then act all surprised when I slap their car because they almost backed into me while I was out of view of their camera
I strongly dislike all these driver aids being standard. it seems to just make dumber drivers.

yes, you do lol
it’s a home/tool/auto/garden/sports/outdoors store. a Walmart without food, regular daily wear clothes, or a tech dpmt.
they’ve started locking down all sorts of shit in the past few years, it’s absurd. like, I’m not going to wait for an employee to unlock the case so I can get a box wrench. I’m just gonna go to a different store.
I remember during covid started when they’d just made changes to prevent people from leaving the store without meandering through the 100ft long checkout queue. also absurd. I didn’t buy anything because you don’t have what I need, let me the fuck out, I’m supposed to not be up close to people but I have to squeeze past in a four foot wide aisle??

nah they gotta walk the item up to the cash for you
- Comment on No one could have seen this coming 2 days ago:
if it’s not an expensive item that I can’t get elsewhere, then I just don’t buy it from that store. I have gone into stores and walked right back out when I saw that a pair of gloves was behind a lockbox.
it’s like Canadian Tire not allowing backpacks - I will always ignore that rule. I’m not waiting in line to leave my bag at customer service and let some random minimum wage worker have access to my things. the experience there is so shitty anyways, and why is it impossible to leave the store without going through the cash queue

shop rate around me $180/hr now. the mechanics better be making at least a quarter of that. my company only charges half that rate for custom machine building

that is effectively not getting paid imo
I got bills to pay. I’m not living a lavish life. either it matches my income, or I find a way out of it

- Comment on Could heating oil subsidies be reduced or replaced with subsidies for installing electric heating and houses.? 1 week ago:
installing a heat pump is a one-day job, even with just one person. people deserve to be paid for their labour, but $40+0+/hr is excessive

I played W3 a few years ago over a period of a couple years. it holds up just fine in this patient gamer’s opinion. I certainly lost a good number of nights playing it. I did get fatigue about a year in and stopped like one quest from the main story ending, and came back a year later to do that and start the expansions. it’s a good game with decent mechanics, graphics, environment, and good ambience.
note that I don’t really play the newest games, except for group stuff like when Siege first came out or DbD. otherwise I play through my backlog of too many excellent games, and play an awful lot of Minecraft. like I just started playing SOMA in the past year finally

yeah, I only bought it because it’s one of the last small wagons you can get that is a reasonable price and doesn’t have dangerous or annoying tech (touchscreens, LED headlights, etc)
with all the other shit Hyundai is doing I wouldn’t buy a new one. although that goes for most manufacturers. everyone is anti-customer

Hyundai.

I just had a shop tell me that it might not be worth doing the work to safety a 14yo car I bought recently. and the dealership told me that one of the bumper mounts I need is no longer available.
it’s not a fucking 90s car, it’s a 2012. how the fuck is a simple $50 part shared across several models not available for a 2012

- Comment on The way my partner eats avocado. 2 weeks ago:
I’ve started squeezing it out more often. saves me having to clean a spoon and if it’s the right firmness, doesn’t really leave anything behind.
what I’m saying is that your partner has a skill issue.
now, there is a trick to it - slice the flesh first. don’t just grab a half and start squeezing - you have to give it structure that wants to easily slip out. do a grid pattern and the pillars just pop right out.

- Comment on Saving 3 weeks ago:
I used to have a little program that would save a file to a user’s desktop. it was made to help with manually compiling files to send out in a package, and every user has a desktop, right? so just save the file there, instead of taking up space on our cloud storage or something (these are often big files, but they only exist for a short period of time) then OneDrive came along and all of a sudden the tool stopped working, because the desktop folder no longer existed. that was a weird one for me

It’s always interesting hearing from people that this works, because I could be working solid for 2 hours straight but not actually put my cursor in the Teams application and so it thinks I’m away

best part is that somehow my boss went through the same security screenings as me but he had a 3-4in folding knife in his pocket that somehow wasn’t confiscated until the return journey
I’m not 100% sure it was in his pocket on the way there, but he claims it was. in any case, it wasn’t in checked baggage.

wild. I had a tiny multi-tool with a less than 1-in blade confiscated. The tool was so small that I had forgotten about it inside my notepad

yep, inventory management is a nightmare.
you can’t be known as the laundromat that runs out of water, but you can’t overstock or it will go stale, and then disposing of it is no simple matter
