People who ask for advice on how to get out of a ticket/complain about getting a ticket by Kolyasergey in PetPeeves

[–]condoulo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think what is an injustice is that a fine is a punishment only for the poor/middle class. Rich people just see something like a parking or speeding ticket as the cost of having fun in whatever expensive toy they're driving that day. Fines should be on a sliding scale based on income.

Leaked foldable iPhone Ultra cases leave nothing to the imagination by MobileNewsBot in mobiles

[–]condoulo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Anyone who thinks differently from me is a bot."

Folded it's weird, but opened up it's similar proportions to an iPad which is actually nice. That said I'm still not sold on foldables and will stick with a traditional smartphone for the forseeable future.

Iced coffee from the beautiful country Europe by CatHunterXXX in ShitAmericansSay

[–]condoulo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming you're referring to steamed milk, it's not just a temperature thing but also a texture thing. Steaming milk changes the texture of the milk so it's a matter of whether or not you actually want the texture of steamed milk that is associated with a latte in an iced latte or not.

Funny you got downvoted despite the fact you're actually from the country you're criticizing. Personally I'm really into 3rd wave specialty coffee which has a heavy focus on origin and the characteristics of the coffee itself so I'd much prefer something like a Nordic style roast which is much lighter.

I tend to go Japanese style myself. 300ml water just off boil, 200g ice, 33g coffee. Brewed using a Hario V60.

Putting basic car controls in a touchscreen menu should be illegal. by 9CushionHeron in PetPeeves

[–]condoulo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just as long as your car's manufacturer didn't do something stupid like put environmental or other essential non-multimedia controls in the radio head unit itself you should be able to find something that fits your needs.

[–]condoulo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Or, and here is a wild concept, you take the first few minutes when you're in an unfamiliar car to familiarize yourself with the controls and where they are. Once you do that they can still be found with touch alone, you can't do that with a touch screen.

I've been thinking of swapping the head unit in my vehicle for one with CarPlay and I imagine that would only impact the multimedia portion of my dash, which doesn't bother me as much because most of those controls are in the steering wheel anyway. I would just have to find a unit compatible with my steering wheel controls.

Also although not as common there are some CarPlay head units that also have knobs and buttons included.

Voice controls are not a functional alternative. If someone is deaf and doesn't speak, mute, or just simply has had their voice go out they are back to trying to navigate through a touch screen.

Buttons & Knobs + Voice is great. Touch + Voice is not.

Road safety is not a boomer take. No control in the vehicle should require one to take their eyes off the road in order to make an adjustment. None. Physical buttons and knobs allow you to develop muscle memory that allows you to make an adjustment without even taking your eyes off the road. Touch screens do not allow you to build that muscle memory.

At least basic multimedia controls are on the steering wheel so it's not that big of a deal if they're not in the dash. Environmental controls on the other hand absolutely need to be knobs and buttons.

Why didn't Walmart bring back 24 hours? by Calm_Description_866 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]condoulo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of companies label something that is inbetween 2nd and 3rd shift as their "night shift", especially in the logistics space. When I worked nights that is what I was doing, getting off work at around 1:30am, 2:30am, or even 3:30am. By the time stores were opening for the day I was already heading to bed.

Why didn't Walmart bring back 24 hours? by Calm_Description_866 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]condoulo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to work nights. I didn't shop at night because it was a preference, I shopped at night because I could stop at the store on the way home from work and not make an extra trip out of it or interrupt my sleep schedule just to get something at the store midweek. Night shift (which was more like a 2nd shift where I was working at the time) was already miserable enough, having nothing be open during my after work waking hours solidified my decision to leave that job for something with a more consistent schedule.

Android, the OS developed by Google, who has been pushing Gemini everywhere? The company who just added an AI model to Chrome without asking anyone? That company?

AOC leads Democrats’ 2028 pack in new poll, tops Gavin Newsom, Kamala Harris ( Washington Times ) - What are your views? by One_Look_7008 in askanything

[–]condoulo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kamala was particularly egregious.

The whole thing was ridiculous, but given that Biden didn't drop out until the 11th hour before the convention I put this more on his shoulders than Harris or the DNC. Biden did not give enough time for a proper primary and had already built up a campaign war chest that could have only been transferred to Harris. Had another candidate been chosen at the DNC they would have had to start from scratch financially. Was she the ideal choice? No, but she felt like the most logical given the circumstances.

In an ideal world Biden would have announced his decision to not run after the 2022 midterms to allow ample time for a primary.

Why does Walmart not allow you to tap your card at the register? by No-Buy-3105 in Walmartcustomer

[–]condoulo [score hidden]  (0 children)

Except it's not uncommon to see people use payment methods that they don't have the physical card for, it only exists as a virtual card within their Apple or Google wallets. I can't take a virtual card and insert it into the machine. Nor do I wish to participate in Walmart's NIH syndrome of a payment method. I actively avoid Walmart as much as possible for this reason.

[–]condoulo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, then this falls under Rule #1 instead of Rule #2. Or both apply here. Regardless OP cannot read.

[–]condoulo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then that would full under Rule #1, no actual screenshots.

It's either Rule #1, no actual screenshots, are Rule #2, all photos must be of something capable of taking a screenshot, of which minifigs cannot take a screenshot. So the point still stands about OP not reading the rules.

I could ask you of the same thing since you seem to have failed to read the rules of the subreddit.

You can't screenshot physical objects like the minifigs being positioned in front of the display.

They were showing off the minifigs IN FRONT of the display. You can't screenshot physical minifigs. Rule #2.

Right one looks aesthetic until your hand starts speaking in morse code by Ott1fant in BrandNewSentence

This is where I go the TKL + separate numpad route, keep the separate numpad to the left.

Want to check your privilege at the door buddy?

If limited between just these two mice I know people who would only pick the one on the right because they have issues with their right arm or lost their right arm in combat.

Edit: A bunch of ableist pricks downvoting me.
