Electric kettle or stovetop? Important distinction!

But how can we trust that your Standardized Banana is standardized to the correct standard? Has it been certified?
I don’t want no Metric Standard Banana (MSB).
He can pair it to the phone app or whatever on his device then; his fridge, his problem.
I can’t give you more information because I literally don’t know more than that.
I’m a bitch basic internet user, and I’ve never had a site do this before, and I don’t have 3 hours to teach myself everything on the subject just for one shitty site, or to research and install whatever the current best suite of un-enshittified extensions is. I have Ublock origin running in Firefox already, so for all I know the cookies are already auto-deleting, but I really couldn’t tell you.
If it was my card instead of someone else’s, I would have cancelled the whole thing and just picked up the tickets in person on the way home or something. Or just not given them my business (so just not seen the movie, because they have a near monopoly out here).
I’m a mechanic, not a programmer, and at this point probably not a moviegoer again, either, because the fuss of dealing with their crap now isn’t worth seeing movies, just like we’ve basically stopped streaming anything in my household and cancelled most of the subs. Now my money can go to renovations and hobbies instead!
In fact, the internet in general is getting to be such a pain in the ass, my usage is probably going to drop off to avoid all these headaches.
Their online ticket buying is atrocious.
From last night, on a PC using Firefox:
Never have I had to disable Firefox’s onboard blocking to simply pay for something with a credit card online, I’m highly suspicious of Cineplex’s back end and the second any weird activity happens on that credit card, or email address, I’m going after them.
They should be legally forced to use an existing well-regarded payment vendor, because whatever is going on now, they’re doing something either very incompetent, or very fishy.
This is the best take I’ve seen yet, with the benefit that it’s literally already been done.
It’d be interesting to see what would happen if they tried to mandate this now, but I’m sure it’s already too late.
My own family has looked into living wills after the care of my grandfather in decline, some of it at home. That may be something for you to look into to help anyone who would become responsible for you in such a situation.
I would argue that caring for people with dementia and Alzheimer’s is a specialized skill set, and that most people don’t have those skills but become forced into situations that can lead to elder abuse and devastating mental health consequences.
I just did front brakes on my mk4 Jetta…. in the middle of a west coast snowfall, aka “the world is ending, just like last year!”
Simpler, cleaner design than industrial equipment, and that stuff is made to be worked on by gorillas like me. Actual work time was less than shoveling it out of 14” of falling snow.
All hail the manual shitbox!
Honestly, there’s going to be a hard peak to how fast a 3D printer can go, because physics. Unless we start running prints in a vacuum and start tuning local gravity….
Don’t forget that the autotip screens usually calculate that percentage after tax, which is wrong, and make it a pain in the ass to tip a percentage on pre-tax like it’s supposed to be done, so they’re dishonestly wringing even more cents out of you!
All RPG player archetypes are valid when they fit with the overall play style of the group.
Whole group is meta gaming together? Positive collective experience. Whole group is hardcore RP? Awesomesauce.
One jackass is meta gaming in an RP group and pissing them off? Trade off that player ASAP.
For reference, the article I’m referring to:
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/twitter-policy-change-hampers-drivebc-1.6894793
“Social media’s reliability in emergencies questioned after Twitter limit blocks DriveBC posts” (Jul 12).
Whether a provincial traffic account posting emergency info counts as news links for these large companies or not, it’s a pretty ugly look for them to have been blocking emergency information, and it doesn’t look any better now 6 months later.
The whole thing is pretty typical (Canadian) government “not enough, and too late” -style regulation regardless, but these social media sites could think twice about playing the villain so readily in response.
This same issue happened during wildfire season in BC, Canada if I recall. A small polite media outrage over it, then forgotten.
Best case scenario would be an independent, international system developed within and for the emergency services community worldwide. Judging by the way firefighters travel internationally to fight forest fires worldwide, the community could be strong enough to support a solution like that, in my opinion.
The snippet “if the batteries have a shorter lifetime than the appliance” worries me. Seems to me that modern engineers are capable of making their crap’s lifespan just barely shorter than the projected batty lifespan, and people might just be stupid enough to still buy it.
I mean, the disposable vape market is an extreme example, but somewhat relevant I think.
That being said, if the processor on the LG G5 had kept up with the market better, I don’t see how that couldn’t have been a starting point.
As for waterproofing, my GoPro stays waterproof but the side door opens to give access to the SD card, battery, etc, so it’s absolutely possible.
Dog ownership is honestly just so easy to fall into without being prepared, and there’s no way to ensure people will take responsibility for the life they’re buying. You’re literally just handing over money half the time, like a car or a TV.
I couldn’t handle anything with the energy of a husky or Aussie or shepherd, but if I hadn’t actively done the research and realized that, I would probably have a shepherd mix with too much energy right now. LSGs are right in the sweet spot for me with work, health and fitness level, etc.
There’s nothing stopping the average person from getting in over their head. Energy levels, space, and size are all considerations that people just handwave and “figure out later.”
For some people, life legitimately changes. Injured or sick suddenly and can’t take care of a doodle’s unrelenting energy anymore? Divorce, a death, a forced move into a smaller space, all sorts of legitimate things, but I don’t think these people’s dogs are the ones filling shelters. There’s no penalty for at-fault surrenders (rightly, to avoid more horrible options being taken), and there’s no required education to get a dog, it’s a recipe for disaster.
People aren’t going to put more thought into getting a dog than other parts of their lives, and people are constantly doing things without thinking nowadays, whether it’s car loans, buying unnecessary TVs/phones/computers, or similar. Overleveraged mentally and emotionally.
I think breeding legislation is the right move, but it would take a lot of will that’s not there and need provisions to handle oops litters and such without driving people underground.
There is no way this is true NOW.
When I grew up in the 90s this was the case, I lived in a household with a chronically ill parent and was told this by healthcare providers. That’s why I used the word historically, but obviously I should have been more clear.
In BC, flu shots have historically only been free for those with health issues, those who live with them, and I guess the elderly probably. BC always left working ages adults with no recorded health issues out to dry as far as I can tell.
Edit: HISTORICALLY guys!
Trades ringing in, that’s my theory, too.
I won’t commit to saying I can do something professionally unless I’m damned fucking sure I can, because any small failures will become glued in everyone’s memories, kind of like me being around at all tends to stand out. It’s exhausting.
A 3 is what my helmet gives me for grinding mode, that’s nothing.
I used a 10 or 11 for one eclipse and it worked alright.
