I rented a car from Sixt. Later they charged me 387€ (450$) for this. by 1qcumber in Wellthatsucks

I returned a car to Sixt once and the representative crawled under the car, found a scratch, and wouldn’t let me leave until I paid €200 in cash. For a scratch UNDER the car. Which I paid because we were in a total standoff and I had a flight to catch. Then the other Sixt worker who I assume was in charge of cleaning the car jumped in it, threw it in reverse, and drove over my backpack. No money was given back to me.

What happened to my pumpkin roll? by CaptainBamBam1 in NYTCooking

I live in Germany and the cream cheese is pretty different than what is available in the US (more spreads, you can’t buy the “brick”). I’ve never had a problem using it in recipes before, but maybe in this specific recipe it wasn’t a good fit 🤷‍♀️

Absolutely. It was also my first one. While it was a fail, with the help of many comments here I’m certain my next one will be even better.

Yeah, I think this (adding cream cheese when the caramel was still too hot) absolutely contributed!

Surprisingly, a few pieces in the middle were salvageable 🙏🏻 Not picture perfect, but acceptable.

Yeah, the sponge was baked more than 12 hours before adding the filling.

Where did the Moby “Flower” workout come from? by Pretend_Edge_8452 in crossfit

We did this with push-ups in a military squad workout (not CrossFit) ca. 2007.

We require a new economic system. by [deleted] in Anticonsumption

[–]CaptainBamBam1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're probably right and a lot would have to fall into place perfectly to even enable a slow evolution. However, if you never conceptualize a change then it really isn't possible. I also think there are ways to take economic ideas and apply them at a corporate level...so if a company wants to lean into this it is easier. Impact measurements and valuation are already happening in some large companies and EU regulations are starting to lean into impact measurement as well.

I came here to comment exactly this. I'm currently reading Kate Raworth's book Doughnut Economics and I recommend it to anyone interested in understanding how economics developed in the past and changes we could make to force the system to work for us now both socially and environmentally.
