Luckily, our laws demands bathroom doors. Which was a pain in the … for my coworker. New built house, everything was ready to move in, but the contractor f-ed up the bathroom door, and they had to wait with their move until that was fixed.

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK that americans can now deduce private jet expenses from their taxes
18·7 days agoAnd let me tell you how this works with cars. With planes it is the same, except that the savings are even better.
A real rich person owns no cars. He owns a car sales company. That company has a few select cars, which the rich person can “test drive” whenever they like. If the prime time of a car is over, the car is sold and a new one is bought. The car sales company pays for everything: purchase, insurance, taxes, fuel, cleaning, etc. Of course, this company does not make any profits. On the contrary. So the rich person pays for these losses, and those payments are tax deductable.

Cars - For Car Enthusiasts@lemmy.world•Volkswagen can now make cars completely in ChinaEnglish
3·8 days agoYes, but can they build a car completely outside China? Probably not, because a lot of electronic parts or screws are no longer made outside China.
Oh, memories. A CD-R was 25 quid, burn speed was “single”, and the success rate was about 50%.
And the equipment costs had four digits.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Downloading Blue Brixx manuals requires an accountEnglish
4·9 days agoLeave it alive, you can download any of their instructions from there.
As a long-term AFOL, it pains me to say, but BlueBricks has surpassed LEGO by far in price (not a miracle!) and design, and they are rather close in quality - mainly because Billund seems to be rather neglecting on the quality front in recent years.
Better not. You know what all saints have in common? They are dead.
Especially as some laws in some countries refer to such standards. This should be illegal, or at least the country should see to get a licence for it’s citizens.

6·10 days agoEver tried to apply for a visa waiver for the UK (ETA Electronic Travel Authorization)? They have the most fucked up app for that. You have to take a selfie, and it tells you “No, bad, try again”. And then you have to click through several pages of what to do and not to do again (all had been painfully followed in every attempt).
And why any of the dozen+ pictures was bad was the apps well kept secret. Finally, one had been accepted, without any discernible difference to the previous attempts.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•PetSmart won't let you leave a review if you have adblockers onEnglish
26·11 days agoThe fun part: The delays and interruptions are still way shorter and less annoying that being forcefed two minutes of unskippable ads for some irrelevant junk or service.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Someone should put the 63 actual humans who are still MAGA on suicide watch after the past several days.
4·11 days agoWhen do we get to the part where he shoots himself in the bunker?
Sadly, Trump is lacking the guts for this move.
Within hours, an estimated 70% or more of America-First Pro-MAGA accounts had been exposed as being run by foreign agents instead."
Not all Russian assets sit in the US.
Maybe they should upgrade to support other OSes?

General Discussion@lemmy.world•I tried to post on Reddit about my experience as a survivor of suicide. When I posted it, Reddit auto-removed it. When I tried posting it again, Reddit shadowbanned me.
9·13 days agoNothing is wrong with the Internet as such. You were talking about Reddit behaving like Reddit.
My daughter had to write a university paper once. They required two cameras to be running. One atop the screen like you use for meetings, and one showing the whole desk and the tested person.
Seems to be that learning sites in general are assholes. I once attended a language course, and while their “solution” was web based, it was focused on IE. I had serious issues attending the course under Firefox.
I logged a lot of errors on their site, but their tech support could only manage accounts, the web site had been built by an external company ages ago, and they had no fingers into that.
So I either have a bullshit job “I design chips for isosychronous low-latency networks” or a real job “I herd electrons”…

Linux@lemmy.ml•What are the silliest reasons people have given you for not wanting to try Linux?
8·14 days agoAll while claiming they did “nothing” when they f-ed up themselves.
Around '98, a tech support guy got a call that their application didn’t work anymore. He tried to troubleshoot, but the system was a mess. “Did you change anything since yesterday?” - “No, we didn’t!”.
What they did do, though, was running the Win98 update the day before. Which, at one point, after doing lots of things, complained that it could not continue for some reason, and offered to “undo” the changes…

As long as he’s asleep he cannot post even more ridiculous nonsense.
