Reminds me of the Back to the Future ride they had at Universal Studios.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Probably not.
Property taxes are pretty simple. Your regional government figures out how much money they need to run all the services they provide - roads, water, trash collection, schools, etc. Then they divide that number by the houses in the area. That’s the tax rate.
So if the housing market crashes and every house halves in value, that doesn’t mean your tax bill gets cut in half - it won’t change at all. But, on paper, your tax rate just doubled.
Where this does come into play is that not every property is worth the same amount. So if your home drops or increases in value relative to other homes in the area, then you’ll see your personal tax bill amount change. This kind of thing usually happens if something develops in your neighborhood. They built a prison? Property value probably drops. They built, I dunno, a golf course? Probably increases.
- Comment on I just realized that I can both make myself sneeze and make myself vomit. If I can do this simultaneously, I could spray partially-aerosolized stomach acid when I feel threatened. 1 week ago:
Ok. Now start designing an online course you can sell to self defence enthusiasts for $300. Do not waste this opportunity!
- Comment on New Yorkers can't even identify fucking shapes 1 week ago:
If they’re moving along the bike lanes the way cyclists use them I don’t have big beef here.
If they’re then PARKING in the bike lanes to go make their deliveries, we have a problem. One that can be solved pretty easily considering these aren’t cars and are very light. Very easy to tip. Especially when they’re just sitting there abandoned in a flat bike lane.

I went to my 10th high school reunion to see what people did with their lives.
The ones who went into law enforcement? EXACTLY the ones you would expect.

- Comment on wash and wash and wash, still there 4 weeks ago:
Is that like “I want the smell gone but my cleaning isn’t working”? Or more like “I can’t quit you”?
- Comment on What a good Lenny community to talk about teaching kids at home? 4 weeks ago:
That’s very specific and you will probably struggle to find enough people on Lemmy to get solid answers.
The biggest community I know of is !parenting@lemmy.world (and there’s a few generic parenting ones on other instances), but it’s still very quiet.
Hate to say it, but for your specific topic you will probably have better luck on Reddit.
- Comment on Is it true that asshole bad boys are generally more likable than other guys? 5 weeks ago:
I think not.
I think the aesthetic of the bad boy looks cool, and many movies and tv shows played off it to create allure for an otherwise flat character.
But in most media, the bad boy has a redemption arc and ends up being a Good Dude in the end.
In reality, what you think of as a bad boy is just an antisocial, toxic twat most people don’t want to be around.
To your ending question: I’d say they are definitely not more likeable, but they’re probably sexier.
- Comment on Tech support for mum 5 weeks ago:
The number of times I have had this phone conversation is greater than 3:
“I accidentally clicked something on Facebook and now my computer is playing a loud noise and I can’t do anything and it says not to turn off my computer or all my data will be lost.”
“Restart your computer”
“But it says not to!”
“It’s a virus that just took over your computer. Why would you do what it told you?”
“I don’t want to lose all my files!”
“You don’t have any files on that computer and it doesn’t matter. Just restart.”
(Back and forth a few times)
“Oh, I just restarted and everything is back to normal. Never mind!”

I had a kid and suddenly all my money and free time evaporated.
How does something so small make me go from one load of laundry a week to 2 a day??
Where did the money go? I’m not buying much more.
How the fuck is the sink full of dirty dishes? I literally finished the dishes 12 seconds ago.
Why is everything sticky? What the fuck is on the ceiling?!?!
- Comment on Immune 5 weeks ago:
You can soak it in a hydrogen peroxide solution if the yellowing bothers you. Or buy a washable pillow cover which has the extra bonus of making your pillow a little more squishy.

He unknowingly kissed A MAN!!! Like, days earlier.
Even at my tender young age when the movie came out this seemed like a stupid bit and an unfunny overreaction. And it aged even worse.

And the fridge is just a hair too tall to slide under the vent hood, so you can’t even go around it.
There’s so many things that are mildly infuriating here. And taken all together…. Still mildly infuriating.
Quality post. I’m gonna kick back and be grateful I don’t have any appliances to move in my near future.

I don’t think you can connect O- to O-. You need O- to connect to O+ so current can flow.

Here I just assumed all online IQ tests always vastly inflated the results to make their idiot users feel smart and hand over money for the certificate or whatever.
