- Comment on How are locks and keys mass produced? 1 day ago:
When my wife and i moved into a flat, I noticed the lock was nearly done for. So I exchanged the cylinder with something that was a real quality lock, and gave the landlord a copy of the key in a sealed case.
When we moved out, I informed the landlord that we had exchanged the lock because it was busted, and i would replace the current lock anyway - if they provided a new cylinder i would install it for them. They declined and insisted that I install the original lock. They didn’t test it, and had to get a locksmith…
- Comment on Little quick question: what do you think of advertising from a Marxist perspective? 2 days ago:
I recently saw a TV segment on advertising in eastern Germany before the fall of the Berlin wall. To me, it looked like they had no clue what advertising is used for. Hilarious!
- Comment on Save as PDF 2 days ago:
From my time in tech support I know there are two kinds of cases where people can’t open a PDF. In one group, the PDF is broken, usually an interrupted download or otherwise corrupted file. The other group, well, one wonders how this kind of people can walk and talk at the same time.
- Comment on Praise Be 2 days ago:
Quite easy. It was either King Salomon or King David who in their later years “had virgins in his bed every night.” In that time, you can assume that we are neither talking about 18+ women nor that this was in any modern sense consenting…
- Comment on My feelings on the Super Bowl 3 days ago:
And again, two bands of brawlers beat themselves up over a ball, and they call this uncivilized bar fight “football” despite carrying the ball in the hands most of the time.
- Comment on Anyone has videos of JD Vance getting booed? I can’t find proper booing videos, but those supposedly exist 3 days ago:
It was just part of the normal transmission here in Europe, and it was still in the online mediathek as of today.
- Comment on So how would you handle this? 4 days ago:
Looking at the screws’ tips, I’d say it’s unlikely they would be the kind that go through 12" with something to spare. I thing the floor is decidedly less than the 12" minimum.
- Comment on So how would you handle this? 4 days ago:
An American, probably.
- Comment on President Trump: Biden was always a mean guy. How is that working out for him now? When you start feeling sorry for him, remember he is bad guy 5 days ago:
Ah, projecting again.
- Comment on ICE is 30 minutes late again. I'm really pissed about that. 6 days ago:
I went there for my train, and there was a large amount of people waiting for the late previous ICE. Suddenly, the display showing the late train switched to the train I was waiting for, and a moment later, an ICE rushed through on the center track.
I’ve rarely seen a more pissed off group of people.
- Comment on ICE is 30 minutes late again. I'm really pissed about that. 6 days ago:
At least it arrives. Not like in Siegburg/Bonn where they just pass through if they are late.
- Comment on I worked some prison and jails. They always put this big heavy green thing on you if your on suicide or solitary watch. My question is if Epstein was on watch then how did he suicide? 1 week ago:
He was suicided.
- Comment on lightbulbs 1 week ago:
Not every lightbulb is intended for living rooms. Some are designed for workplaces…
- Comment on If a person assassinates a king or queen its called Regicide. What is the killing of a leader/president/head of state etc? Why is it called that way? 1 week ago:
Relief.
- Comment on Would the United States actually risk a Tiananmen Square incident? 1 week ago:
If it was the one thing to keep Trump in office and therefore out of prison, yes, indeed.
- Comment on sorting of Roman numerals 2 weeks ago:
Roman Numerals died for a good reason. Being difficult is just one of them.
- Comment on Bungee jumping 2 weeks ago:
Do it again to get a special offer: 20% extra rope for no extra cost!
- Comment on Many guess that it's some type of religious symbol 3 weeks ago:
Praise St. Analog Music!
- Comment on Self-Care 4 weeks ago:
I once ordered a box of different sizes. Comes handy, occasionally.
- Comment on Is there an endgame to Trump he is trying to obtain? Or is he making it up along the way at the cost of Americans? 1 month ago:
Just as a friend said about him: “Möge ihn der Blitz beim Scheissen treffen!”, literally “May lightning hit him while he is shitting!”.
- Comment on Say, the country/countries you have citizenship in, decided to not want you anymore and threw you to some random "3rd world country", how do you survive? 1 month ago:
Luckily, my country can’t do that. I can relinquish citizenship, but the government can’t remove it.
- Comment on [Downward Diary] I miss when the Internet had less people. 1 month ago:
Yep. The time before the Eternal September.
- Comment on Tell me, what does she far? 1 month ago:
Maybe that user should not post while high or drunk?
- Comment on Na Na Na Na Na Na 1 month ago:
It could be worse. I’ve seen a MC cover singer. Not only that she could not really sing, but she was wearing a costume like MC wore in the video. All while having several clothing sizes more…
- Comment on A swing and a miss 1 month ago:
Looks like he misses the brain to understand this. If I only had a dollar for every stupid conservative…
- Comment on I love it 1 month ago:
You forgot the Bacon.
- Comment on What are some cool infections? 1 month ago:
Some tics infect people and animals with an allergy against red meat.
The dog of our friends go this…
- Comment on Shitty stores that penalise you for not having their store card 1 month ago:
That is a problem we regularly encounter in the UK. When we visit there, we also shop for unique British food, and boy, is this expensive without the cards.
Luckily, we’ve got smart friends who have basically made a wallet card for about every UK chain. Saves about 20-40% when we go shopping.
- Comment on Someone has a LOT of dusty computers 1 month ago:
So more likely compressed nitrogen or something. I can’t see people getting high on air.
- Comment on Someone has a LOT of dusty computers 1 month ago:
Thanks. I was wondering, especially about the abuse stuff. Could this be more like compressed nitrogen?
