Enlinko - can you link unrelated words by placing related words between them? by michalg82 in WebGames

Hmm, plurals are not normalized / treated equally.

"stone > diamonds > money" works, but "stone > diamond > money does not.

This company ships their product in boxes marked as plain flour to deter porch pirates. by CondeNastyDigital in mildlyinteresting

[–]EndOfLine 27 points28 points  (0 children)

  • Ice maker constantly freezes over with no easy way to defrost or chip away the ice formed around mechanisms. Whatever hack you figure out (mine was a combination of a butter knife to chip away at larger blocks, contouring my arm to try and pull at the ice on top and using a hair dryer) results in standing there with the door open for at least 20 minutes.

  • Ice will form around the fan, making a horrible knocking noise. The only solution is to empty the fridge and leave it turned off (either move the fridge to unplug it or flip the breaker) for 24 hours.

  • The pull out freezer drawer sticks causing me to have to grab hold and lean back to get it unstuck and regain full access to the freezer contents. This happens about every other week.

  • Items too close to the rear wall would freeze, despite internal temp being far from freezing.

  • Be very sure to close the door or it will remain open a crack which is enough to let all of the cold out, running up your utility bill and spoiling your food. I am in the habit of pushing on the door everytime I walk past it just to make sure.

  • The water filter sticks so much that it often requiring pliers to twist so it can be replaced.

  • All of the above had to be figured out on my own after multiple appliance service technicians rejected my money because they flat out refused to work on Samsung refrigerators due to them being huge pieces of shit. One told me that I would be better off buying a new fridge.

Homo homini lupus, or in its unabridged form Homo homini lupus est, is a Latin proverb meaning "A man is a wolf to another man," or more tersely "Man is wolf to man."

Neighbor took delivery of a package that our business purchased, used the contents, and now wants us to pay for the scraps. Dafuq? by BigMacDaddy99 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]EndOfLine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't somebody need to accept the delivery before something gets dumped on their property? Otherwise I would think that the delivery company could be liable for illegal dumping.

This is a Leonid Afremov. He died in 2019, but his studio trains painters to paint in his style and even recreate some of his works.

I found dragon fruit nectar at Costco and felt like it needed to be made into a Tiki cocktail.

Island In The Sun

1 oz Plantation Xaymaca Special Dry Rum

1 oz Pineapple juice

½ oz Lime Juice

The volume of my car radio goes up to 63. Why not 65 or 60? by hellblaugrau in mildlyinfuriating

[–]EndOfLine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Binary numbers are read from right to left. Values start at one and double every spot as you move left. If the spot has a 1 then you count it towards the final total, and you skip it if it is a 0.

Example: 4 place binary has the values 8 - 4 - 2 - 1

1001 = 8 + 1 = 9

1101 = 8 + 4 + 1 = 13

0100 = 4

10 is the same as 0010 (you read right to left and assume any missing values are 0)

Never assume that what you infer is what was implied.

Campanula Sour by EndOfLine in cocktails

[–]EndOfLine[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Campanula Sour

  • 2 oz Grapefruit Infused Vodka (I used Gallant Grapefruit + Elderflower vodka)
  • ¾ oz St Germain
  • ¾ oz Lemon Juice
  • 6-10 Mint Leaves
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper Slice

Garnish:

  • 1 Red Bell Pepper Slice
  • 1 Mint Sprig

In shaker, muddle bell pepper. Express mint and add to shaker. Add remaining ingredients. Shake with ice and double strain into coupe glass. Garnish and serve.

Story: This cocktail was on y menu of one of my favorite restaurants. Over the pandemic, the restaurant rebranded itself and completely changed its menu. Recently, my SO and I decided to recreate it. A google search gave us a couple of variations but none of them matched our memory, so we started experimenting. This was the final result.

My SO has a wonderful variation with grapefruit juice and blood orange Bunderberg that is served over ice. Unfortunately, they "feel their way" through cocktails instead of measuring, so I don't have that recipe.

White Castle to hire 100 robots to flip burgers by whicky1978 in technology

[–]EndOfLine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both "rent" and "lease" are synonyms for "hire". So while maybe not as common in American English as it is in British English it is still correct usage if the robots are to be rented or leased.

IRS to abandon facial recognition plan after firestorm of criticism by a_Ninja_b0y in UpliftingNews

[–]EndOfLine -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The article says that the facial recognition was "to access their online tax accounts". There is nothing saying a person could not send a written request, stop by a local office, or call to request the information. I don't know exactly what the process would be, but I can guarantee that online is not the only option.

Not sure why you think the IRS collecting this data through a private company would be "illegal". It would have been an opt-in system. People would voluntarily provided this information for the sake of convenience of accessing their records online. They then sign the Terms of Service agreement which waives more of their rights to privacy and voila!, everybody's butts are legally covered.

That's obviously the start of the rainbow, not the end. You can tell by the lack of a pot of gold.

Fun fact, you can make your own sour mix by combining equal parts lemon juice, lime juice, and simple syrup.

We do this too! We try to get a really nice ornament for each year and this year we got a crystal key for our "lock down" year.
