They really only work on small flies
- Comment on Ironing 3 days ago:
Ironing is really only required for “dress up” clothing, casual cotton clothing is generally presentable if you wash, machine dry and fold/hang while still warm. You will have a crease and it will resolve itself in a few hours. Polyester blends also come in several utility blends like the stain free, moisture dispersing and wrinkle resistant. I’m realizing reading this thread that some people iron all of their clothing, but in my home we typically only iron our formal occasion attire (rare).
- Comment on Redbox missed a multimillion-dollar payment it couldn’t afford to miss 6 days ago:
As the drone giving that news, it was so bad for TV shows. Someone rented Planet Earth which came in a 4 disc set for $100. If you lose 1 disk, we required ordering another full set. Someone lost the entire collection and was required to pay $400. I loved that job, but they made terrible decisions towards the end.

I tried watching the Jetsons last year and it was pretty painful. The story moved really slow, the mother was claiming to be overworked pressing a button. Everything was a mildly linear improvement from the 1950s and it had very old ideas. It did not age well

Another user was demanding 4x salary for in office, I would consider a 20% pay bump per in office day a reasonable request that likely results in a remote contract. It’s essentially saying it will cost you double to make me come in for that day.
- Comment on Euro bottles are so much better now 1 month ago:
#4 #3 pollutants list every year (p6) separate because the materials have different density and when damaged separate (p10). Feel free to do your own research Lemmy downvotes effort that they disagree with. bottlebill.org/…/Dutch study on caps_Doppenrappor…
- Comment on Euro bottles are so much better now 1 month ago:
The advertised benefit is that if you throw away the cap and bottle separately, you have 2 pieces of trash to clean up instead of 1. The actual benefit is that bottling companies can charge more for a more complex mold, but the same amount of materials. Lobbyiest lobbied and tada! In reality both pieces end up in the same landfill or in the same water current to garbage island. Now we have an antiquated law and an annoying policy to follow.

USA calls them “take and bakes”. Few fast food chains specialize in it like Papa Murphy’s, but grocery store delis regularly stock them as well.
- Comment on How well can an employer be certain of a remote employee's geographical location? 1 month ago:
Skimmed most of the thread and there are a lot of guesses, the actual answer is presumably impossible given the parameters. Asset management tracking software is pretty much permanent tracking these days, screen idle time, keystrokes per minute, application focus tracking. A lot of higher end devices have gps chips in them by default, your works VPN reports it’s trace route so it will have general geographic location. Microsoft and Google cooperate accounts even offer remote hard drive wipes to protect company secrets, regardless of the location. My work gets reports of where people connect from as part of the RTO policy. We had someone working from their parents house for a few weeks and got emailed by HR asking why they were logging in from an unapproved area. Most places can pull this data, but not all of them act on it.

You can also have a seamless transition, multiple varieties of the fade or a tapered cut. High end barbers also shave art into side of the head. Lots of different options, but generally people do fades.

Highly recommend looking up a guide from a hair cutting chain. From the sounds of it you want a crewcut ~20mm 3/4", “blend the sides” so that it transitions well, they might ask what size to buzz the side, you can just say “shorter than the top”. Crew cut will give you the longest time between haircuts as well, take notes of the actual length or clip size so you can be more precise next time. www.greatclips.com/lookbook/crew-haircut

- Comment on Can't play an EA game via geforce now 5 months ago:
I can’t play EA games because In 2023 they archived my account for “inactivity” with playtime in 2022. The only option is to delete my purchase history and save games… I wish people would stop giving them money.
- Comment on Am I strange for not loving Everything Everywhere All At Once? 8 months ago:
Silliness is fine as a nod or one off, but EEAAO made it as massive of a plot point as Julia Roberts in Oceans 12. In writing your goal is clarify, mixed language conversations are a part of life but not story telling. I thoroughly enjoyed hot dog fingers, but it was overused.
- Comment on Am I strange for not loving Everything Everywhere All At Once? 8 months ago:
I’ve actually gotten a lot of flack from friends for disliking this movie. The plot is heavy handed, the symbolism is shoved down your throat “everything bagel is everything”, changes languages mid sentence makes conversations hard to follow, and I personally did not identify with the cultural background.
Infinite universe removes stakes and motivation, there was no explanation for how or why we had these experiences. To drive the story, we had characters talking drastic action that made no sense, and had skills they couldn’t possibly develop. The writers waived the ability to “show instead of tell” by using subversion of reality to keep the boring story engaging. Without rules and boundaries the subjection of reality served no purpose.
I eventually looked up what some of the characters represented because it won 7 Oscars, but it turns out that there was no deeper message than the delivered one and overstated political agedas that were forced in as well. Overall EEAAO was visually stunning but presented nothing of value.
