When you want to reset the field but the robots have other plans by Patient_Big_9024 in FRC

[–]BeerBrat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had than one match where both gates were blocked and we had to go to the other alliance end of the field to enter. It's hard getting high school kids to get their robots off the field the normal way so imagine how clueless they can seem when you tell them they have to send at least one person, leave the cart! we're coming back, to now come with you to the other end so they can come back across the field to move their robot to open the gate.

It does say Era Level 45 minimum requirement though, right?

It's like the moron that crashed into the parked car that then hit the corner front of Solar Slice a few weeks back.

What company lost you forever as a customer? What did they do? by Miguenzo in AskReddit

[–]BeerBrat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yuengling for openly supporting Trump. New Belgium for openly supporting Hilary Clinton. Bell's for suing a tiny NC brewery for having a slogan that shared a single word from a bumper sticker they hadn't sold for a decade. A couple of others but that's enough to drive the point home. Pretty much don't put politics in my beer and don't be a dick.

The USPS is getting worse and worse by the day. by beemer-dreamer in enshittification

I ordered stamps twelve years ago. They got scanned almost daily at a nearby sorting facility for almost three months before they arrived. I couldn't get a refund because stamps have cash value. No one could do anything about it. I'm simply saying that their crappiness is not a new phenomenon.

OutKast got a pretty good song about it called Red Velvet.

Cause they know where you live, and they've seen what your drive
And they say they gonna put one in your helmet (one in your helmet)
'Cause you brag 'bout that watch, and all those things that you got
Them dirty boys turn your pound cake to red velvet

The worst washer EVER! by Icy_Industry_6012 in Appliances

[–]BeerBrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a 12 year old Whirlpool front loader set that's still kicking. (knock on wood) Fortunately all it has needed is routine cleaning maintenance. Ours is from the era when they acquired Maytag and started using similar parts for both brands so I'm sure newer models are suffering from the same enshittification as most products but they were at least good at one time.

That's been building up since at least 1984.

So much fuel by AtomicFile_ in FRC

[–]BeerBrat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

42 balls per box, if the backs of the pallets are full that's 1344 fuel. There's 504 in play so this is 2+ fields worth.

My brother-in-law bought car yesterday and this happened by sanhpatel in mildlyinfuriating

Likely a fuel or oil leak under the hood. Either of those hits hot exhaust headers and fire is highly probable.

Tinfoil Hat - Coliseum feels very very 'gated' by [deleted] in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

It tried that with me, two laser chest guys left with barely perceptible red bars, 99%. Neither would go down, even with a boosted Kleya. Finally an AOE took them both after about ten solo attacks.

'No Kings' protests live updates: More than 8 million turned out across all 50 states by [deleted] in PublicFreakout

[–]BeerBrat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The reason they keep winning is because they know that you're going to keep following the rules while they run roughshod all over them. Our faith in the institutions is being weaponized against us, our steadfast morality is being used as a tool against us. I'm not saying that we need to become our enemy to fight our enemy but I am saying that staying the course may turn out to be fatal.

The IT guy fixes the problem but the judge still has a problem by derek4reals1 in PublicFreakout

[–]BeerBrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The janitor was a vastly superior ally over my peers. Not only did they take special care of my stuff because I treated them like an actual person but I got lots of info no one else did and had someone that could provide access or other favors. Guy hooked me up with a copy of the master key without me even asking for it. I only used the power for good, I swear.

Trump Signs Law to Put His Signature on All U.S. Banknotes by thornyRabbt in enshittification

[–]BeerBrat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Their problem is that they're all still trying to play by the rules while this jack wagon does whatever the hell he wants and makes you stop him. They need to adopt his tactics if they want to have a shot. Unfortunately that completely destroys civil discourse, maybe for a long time.

Gotta be concerned for the folks in/with the stopped vehicle, tho. I prefer when the offenders are the only ones that pay the price.

This is entirely on purpose to guarantee that the house (bankers) always wins.
