I put on my wizard hat and robe…

Literally slapped?

Its the drawn out bullshit that I have no patience for, its a midseason game between two teams who arent going to make the finals… calm the fuck down.

Twinkle?

Give me a clicky pen or give me death!

It has also been ruled in court (I think in Australia but I dont remember for certain) that it is legally binding as a verbal agreement.

Basically a farmer sent a message to a wholesaler saying “Hey, I need to double my stock feed order for next quarter” or something like that, the supplier sent back a thumbs up. So the delivery arrived and it was only the regular amount. The farmer had to buy the extra amount at retail prices and it cost him tens of thousands more, so he sued for damages. The supplier argued that text messages and thumbs up werent the correct ordering procedure and that he wasnt liable, the court ruled effectively that “Then you should have said that. A thumbs up is a general term of positive response to a question or statement and in this case constitutes acceptance of a verbal agreement” and had to cough up.

Found the case, it was Canada and the farmer F-ed up not the supplier.

Hobbyist race car builder/mechanic, sometimes you need cheap tools to break, bend, grind or cut to do one job.

I have a spanner that has been lovingly butchered to remove one sensor on a steering rack on one model of car. Its a common failure point and replacing it either means custom specialty tool or complete steering rack removal and wheel allignment.

What I think you need to do is have multiple accounts, I have one with a LOT of filters. "Trump, Drumpf, Trumpist, MAGA, Elon, Musk, Tesla, Rep, Republican " you get the idea. Any community I have no interest in blocked, plenty of users who go into benign subs and bring up politics blocked...  Its my relaxing feed. NSFW filter on

 I have one with the only filter being the nsfw one. I see the whole disaster.

I have one on Lemmy.nsfw... for reasons. Filter by local... 



I have one 

Honestly I’d forgotten where I picked that one up, I’ve probably said it more times than he has at this point.

Ive always said “Money cant buy you happiness, money does however let you rent happiness.”

“Money cant buy you happiness, but it can buy you a jetski. Have YOU ever seen anyone crying on a jetski?” - me.

I once made a cashiers head nearly explode by refusing to give her a phone number over the counter to pay cash for a shirt.

“But I need it!”

“No, you really dont.”

“The system wont allow the sale without it”

“So enter a bunch of random numbers, I dont care”

“I cant do that”

“Why?”

“Because then some random person will get texts from us.”

“Ok”

“So can I just…”

“Nope. I exchange money for shirt, thats how this works.”

“Ummmmmm” Smoke starts pouring from ears

It does sound very bad but the ocean is unfathomably fucking huge. Not just surface area but sheer volume, I dont really want to go down a rabbit hole of “how much cyanide in how much water would be considered harmless”, “how much cyanide was the ship carrying” or “how much water is in the ocean” but I hope someone does.

“What? I wanted a longer car chase, its the best part.”

Seriously that link is the first 6 minutes of the movie and if that doesnt absolutely hook you into watching it, its not for you.

Also my 5yo daughter makes me put on that song and do the sunglasses thing, shit is so adorable.

Dropped fruit all over the ground really encourages rats though.

My mum got a house super cheap when I was young because it had a “rat problem” it also had a peach tree in the back yard that the owner didnt pick up after. We removed literal garbage bags of peach pits from the roof space and crawl spaces of that house and garage.

Chopped the peach tree down (it wasnt a healthy tree anyway) and the problem basically disappeared in days.

With an exemption for the first 5 years after building. Companies and investors need to be incentivised to build property not hold onto it.

You start with “surely I need more than that” amounts of vegimite and “surely I dont need that much” amounts of butter and adjust inwards over time until you hit your preference.

Vegemite on toast is just good.

Foreigners always fuck up the ratios.

I buy a lottery ticket every week. Not because I think I stand a chance of winning but I am renting the idea that I could solve 95% of my problems instantly.

I wont win, I’ll still have problems I know this but that $10 a week is me renting hope.
