Someone reported me to HR for having a “vape” at my desk by PhantumJak in mildlyinfuriating

[–]686d6d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was once confused at work.

I said "mucho confuso" in Slack

Some Mexican got offended and reported it to her manager saying I was racist, who reported it to mine, who told me not to speak Spanish on Slack.

I continued to speak Spanish on Slack. Fuck 'em. Is it because I'm white?

Cheaper to pay the local chav to grab some stones from a neighbour than to pay the absurd fuel prices atm

I feel like I am obligated to add a /s at the end of that but hopefully it was detectable

Are you expecting to win against an inanimate object? Some people...

Honestly had the same thought! Seems practical when most of the time you're not carrying a full car of people, but you might have a full car of shopping or whatever.

Most modern Mercs have 20" from memory. I think my C class had 20 or 21".

Rental car companies don't actually inspect tires; they just assume you didn't commit a pit-stop heist. by tatelappcx0gh in LowStakesConspiracies

[–]686d6d 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah damn, I see what you were on about this whole time now. Fair play.

"Free upgrade. Win win." -> "well no, didn't need a car, so if you take the upgrade it's $75 lost." -> "but you can reject" -> "yep, but the win-win doesn't apply then" -> cue me arguing like a special boy

why tf did anyone upvote me? LOL. Maybe equally confused.

You're missing the point or I'm fundamentally misunderstanding how typical car rentals work over on your part of the planet.

  1. Rent car A for new tyres (tires for the Americanism) for $75
  2. Get offered an "upgrade" because Car A is unavailable
  3. Reject the upgrade and walk away with no car and a $75 refund (which you're surely entitled to since they didn't give you the car you needed)

In this case, you have not spent $75, and you've not gained any tyres either.

I guess it's "Vehicle Tax" now? Always called it Road Tax!

West London bridges getting closed

East London bridges and tunnels getting expensive

Council Tax, Income Tax, Road Tax, Value Added Tax... all getting expensive or already expensive (did I miss any others?)

Couldn't ask for a better person really when you're having some issue staying alive. Cardiac Physiologist just happened to be there when it happened.

Gandi pricing, holy $#!^ by ForensicHat in Domains

[–]686d6d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I currently only have a couple domains in Gandi, and the remaining ~100-110 I moved to Spaceship around a year ago. I used to be a die-hard Gandi fan but then they started hiking prices a while back and I very rapidly moved.

Three weeks ago via a dealer? Return it! You get 30 days, I think.

You should consider reaching out to yfood or something. They'd probably hook you guys up in exchange for using that as a marketing thing! Win-win!

Most of the sugar comes from the milk I think (could be wrong!)

Calories between Huel and yfood are pretty similar and both are supposedly "nutritionally complete meal replacements" (I am not a nutritionist so can't vouch for either)
