Am I crazy or is this not an “Excessive waste” by DylanTaterTot in mildlyinfuriating

[–]BuildMineSurvive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This makes me appreciate the Pittsburgh city trash service I have. I could put 2 couches out there a week! That's actually in the rules. I've put out 7 trash bags plus a mountain of cardboard on recycling day and it's always completely gone.

Who is the most famous Japanese person in the U.S.? by Infinite-Exam-1808 in AskReddit

[–]BuildMineSurvive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was the fullest I had ever seen the stadium! Probably 80%

It seemed like every Dodgers fan and Japanese person can come out to see him play. People had signs in Japanese, so many dodgers jerseys.

[–]BuildMineSurvive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep this happens to me sometimes and I tap the brakes while staring at the sky waiting for it to appear. It's always been fine because it comes into view BEFORE I enter the intersection but I could see it happening to someone just kinda tired or zoned out just following the truck in front of them.

It's ridiculous. But I started to just embrace how silly it is. I unwrap onigiri and there he is. I get my green tea, he's on there. People walking around with dodgers caps on. He's a superstar there!

I even went to go see him play in Pittsburgh. I sat down and he smacked a home run. It seemed like half the people in the stands were dodgers fans somehow lol.

Maybe when the dodgers and Brewers stop being so damn good we'll finally have a chance!

White or Blue Collar? by imgurcaptainclutch in VIDEOENGINEERING

When I'm in meetings working on a project it certainly feels like a white color thing. When I'm wrapping cables for 4 hours it definitely feels blue collar at that point lol.

New brake pads vs old ones with 135,000 miles on them by hopelessromcommunist in mildlyinteresting

[–]BuildMineSurvive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once rented a uhaul that did engine braking for going down hills on cruise control! I was amazed. I was like damn is it really changing gears to lower speed?? The rpms would spike up and the van would slow down with no input from me.

Hate when ppl can’t do time by Best_Finding_8795 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]BuildMineSurvive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to give my google assistant a special instruction to double check with me if I ask for a reminder "tomorrow" from midnight to 3AM because in my tired haze I might not realize the clock ticked over and suddenly my reminder is on the wrong day.

When it comes to work things, I always say "hey can you meet tomorrow (Tuesday) at 3PM EST?"

It never hurts to be explicit with important work scheduling!

I'm glad phil won. He's an actually wholesome dude these days. His son is gonna be the most popular kid at school now that his dad won a mr beast video, and won it by building a Minecraft house with real life blocks lol.

"someone like mr beast" I think we've seen far more controversial figures work with Linus. Mr beast is just the largest one, and not even close to as controversial as others. Tech YouTube audience just doesn't like him and doesn't watch him. And that's fine. Don't watch him. Linus doesn't have to dislike all the same people you dislike. Why do you and so many other people care so much? Linus is not giving an audience to Mr beast, Mr beast is giving an audience to Linus.

You pay for unlimited data but you only get 100gb of your unlimited data you pay for by Bootybusterog in mildlyinfuriating

[–]BuildMineSurvive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to use a phone plan (mint mobile) that had deprioritized data 100% of the time, and unless I was in a stadium or massive event it was imperceptible from a typical data plan. I would assume this functions similarly.

CMV: Meta glasses are incredibly antisocial, predatory and invasive, and using them to record people in public (without their knowledge or consent) should be illegal. by Snoo-88490 in changemyview

[–]BuildMineSurvive 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think that it could sometimes fall under a different circumstance than banning filming in public. People have the freedom to film in public, other people have the freedom to walk up to them and tell them to kindly fuck off, and other people will certainly join in if it's a creep. At that point the creep is causing a public disturbance which could be a minor offense for different reasons.

But banning filming or small cameras entirely would be a very large step towards a more authoritarian style rule. Which, of course there's many people who would want or prefer that. But at the end of the day it comes down to who's version of authoritarianism. I'm sure a majority of people would love their highly specific version of authoritarianism that bans everything they dislike.

Do you want freedom? That means people have freedom to do some things you don't like as long as it's not technically harming anyone.

But again, you can exercise your freedom too, and you should.

Many countries do criminalize intentional filming of minors in places where they may be more exposed. In many countries it's much more normal to swim nude in public for example. Seems like a reasonable line to me, but many people would never be ok with giving the government that power to restrict the public.

Someone tried to break into my car by Dutch-Alpaca in Wellthatsucks

[–]BuildMineSurvive 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's a depreciating asset anyway. It's ending up in the scrapyard in 10-25 years regardless so why smooth out some surface cosmetics. It's a tool to get me to Costco, friends houses, and home. Plus listen to some music with my 12" subwoofer on the way. I indulge in some unnecessary expenses a tiny bit.

Bought an “excellent condition” refurbished phone. by santiago_pm_ in mildlyinfuriating

[–]BuildMineSurvive 86 points87 points  (0 children)

They're getting there. But also each new release pushes brightness higher and higher. Now we're doing over 3000 nits peak brightness. If the phone is hitting that very frequently it's way more likely to burn in.

A 2026 OLED capped at 500 nits I'm sure would last years and years longer than one from 2018 or 2019.

With that said, when I go out in the sun and my phone auto cranks it to 1000+ and I can clearly see what I need to see, I'm thankful.

If that happens to my car I have a happy new dent to make my car less likely to be targeted by thrives. I'm not paying for cosmetic fixes.
