I've never understood why you'd bother removing the avocado pip like that, I just kinda squeeze it out and I never have a problem.

When you say "squeeze it out" all I can imagine is you're squishing the avocado half in your hand, resulting in a huge mess. What do you actually mean?

I'm assuming that last guy braked hard for some reason? I don't know why he would but otherwise it's got to be the tiny invisible wall.

The ones who try to step off the bike in motion are even dumber though. Do they have no awareness of how fast they're moving? Or do they lack the basic understanding of momentum that most of us developed as small children?

Three hour round trip.Only an hour and a half each way. I used to do a 2.5 hour round trip a while back. Sometimes you have to work somewhere inconveniently far from where you live (eg. because your lease ran out and you can't find/afford anywhere closer).


OK so what did they expect to happen? Because the thing collapsing seems to comes as something of a surprise to them.

I listen to about 4 hours of podcasts per day on google podcast. Got a note last week saying that next year they were doing away with GPs and that I would have access to them on youtube music, and if I paid for premium I would have the ability to KEEP PLAYING WHAT I WAS LISTENING TO WHILE MY SCREEN WAS LOCKED. They did the same thin with google music a couple of years back and I couldn't find a good mp3 player for my phone so I use my wife's apple music account on my droid. If they actually go through with this, I might end up switching to iPhone even though I don't want to hear about it from everyone who has yelled at me to get one for the last 15 or so years.

If you install Firefox for Android and go into the Add-ons Manager you can install Video Background Play Fix and then use the YouTube Music website through Firefox instead of the app and it'll work with the screen off. It's a bit of a hassle, but there is no loving way I'm paying them to remove an inconvenience that they intentionally added to make their service worse.

Safran's latest book, published 2021, was shortlisted for the Prime Minister's Literary Award for Nonfiction.

It's more about preventing the opposite (ie. stopping adults from ripping off teenagers). If an adult happens to be dumb enough to get ripped off by a child then they're an unfortunate casualty of an otherwise useful and necessary precaution.

I think it's 2 hours or two weeks after purchase now. We purchased a co-op game in a sale and then didn't get around to playing it for a while, then when we finally got the group together to try it the game was dogshit so we quit just before the 2 hour mark and tried to refund it. Got denied because it had been too long since the purchase date. Which is kind of fair but also buying things and not playing them for years is the Steam meta, dammit.
This has been the case for a long time. It's not really a problem for full-price games because there's not really any reason to buy it ahead of when you plan to play it anyway, but you can easily get caught out with sales where something seems worth trying at 50% off so you buy it but then don't have time to try it out until it's too late to get a refund.

I just posted about this in the First World Problems thread. I watched a random youtube video about an old man in a traditional Japanese barber shop because it seemed cool and, being bald, I actual do kinda miss getting haircuts. I failed to see that it was ASMR, because the title was also in Japanese and I didn't pay it much mind.

I've now blocked maybe 100 different channels and wiped my entire youtube history to try and stop the creepy bullshit youtube's been recommending to me ever since.

I can sympathise with people who are so starved for human interaction that a video where a woman makes intense eye contact with the camera while pretending to comb your hair and whisper spitting into a microphone seems attractive. I can pity them even.

Just, please, keep your creepy bullshit out of my recommendations.

Just go into your watch history and remove the one video that's loving up your recommendations.

Why do we believe the scam actually happened vs someone just making up a story for an article?

I think the main reason people believe it is that, hard as it is to believe that someone would be stupid enough to fall for such an obvious scam and then write about how dumb they were, it seems even less likely that someone would make up a story in which they were a complete moron and then present it as true to an international audience.

But on the other hand, the point that many people have raised about the difficulty of getting $50,000 in cash from a bank without notice or explanation does seem to suggest that she probably did make up a story to make herself look like a colossal idiot for some reason.

How do you not hear or feel a train that close?

Trains go really fast. They look at how far away the train is and think they've got tons of time because it's so far, but trains are much, much faster than they're prepared for.

Which is why you don't gently caress around on train tracks. Trains go really loving fast and cannot, under any circumstances, stop in time to avoid an unexpected obstacle.

rent is bullshit not because its too drat high (it is) but because it keeps going up.
Nah, rent is bullshit because it's literal theft by extortion. Even if it cost much less and never increased, you would still be paying for someone else to own something. If you go into a shop and pay for something and then someone else picks it up and walks out with it, that's theft. But if you pay for someone else's house and then they keep it and throw you out, that's rent. It's bullshit.

At a traditional fish & chip shop, "minimum chips" is the minimum price you have to pay for some chips. It's got nothing to do with quantity. If you order a piece of fish, a couple of dims sims and minimum chips then you get enough chips for one person. If you order two pieces of fish, two dim sims, a potato cake and minimum chips, you get enough chips for two people. "Enough" is whatever the person cooking them thinks is enough, and if you're ordering stuff that doesn't make it obvious how many people are eating then you should say "chips for three people" or whatever, and for more than two people they'll charge you some arbitrary amount extra.

Never order chips by price. I've seen people go "well, minimum chips is $3 and that's probably one serve so we'd better order $6 worth for the two of us." If you ask for chips for two people you might get charged as much as $4 but you won't get charged $6, and if you order by price they'll still give you "enough" chips for however many people they think the meal is for, not multiples of the "minimum amount" because they're just eyeballing it anyway.
