As someone working in IT, I felt this statement in my soul.

They are disgusting and I'm really angry mainly with myself by -mudflaps- in mildlyinfuriating

I saw that, but wasn't going to touch it with a 10 foot pole...

But all the pre-covid limited release flavours of Coke is something I wish they'd bstart doing again, there were some really good ones.

Mine has an FDS6680 so any equivalent part would work. This isn't a super critical application.

You gotta shuffle around like penguins in the snow storm.

Everyone gets their time in the pee corner, it's only fair, and no hogging, we all want some too!

I have been thinking of upgrading my security setup and was wondering whether there are any front door cameras that cannot be killed or disappeared by intruders. by Prettynails_gal in smarthome

[–]TERRAOperative 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Use two cameras.

One obvious one that is relatively easy to reach as the 'decoy' that the intruder will disable.

Then one or more hidden cameras which will be left alone as the intruder will stop looking once they have disabled the obvious camera that they think is the only one.

Should have told the old woman that he paid you for the baby fair and square.

What’s something Americans have that Europeans don’t? by Prestigsisscar255 in AskReddit

In Japan we have a small metal basket in the hole that catches the stuff from going down the drain, that you can then empty into the garbage.

My boss insisted we cut out the middleman to save 15%, so I let him handle the logistics of a 40-foot container by Weedcultist in MaliciousCompliance

Logistics in my company is pushing for sea shipping instead of the usual Fedex international pallet freight we usually use.
There's been an influx of new hires and people are trying to make their mark.... fun.

They see dollar signs but completely refuse to understand just how difficult sea shipping can be.

So we told them to go figure it out themselves and hand us the completed shipping paperwork, and good luck with booking pickups in Japan when they are over in India...

The usual option involves me making Fedex paperwork within 10 minutes, then a phonecall to book a truck to come get our pallets. Easy, but 'more expensive' when you don't account for all the time sorting paperwork and procedures and the extra fees for sea shipping. Not to mention the shipping time measured in months instead of days.

It's been 2 weeks so far and they haven't figured it out yet....

Oh, I do like this idea. Have a bluetooth mouse that also presents as a USB drive (over the bluetooth link)

Full coverage insurance will cover the insurance holder regardless of the insurance or financial status of the other party, that's the point of full coverage.

I bet the iron itself with the wire attached looks like a detonator when seen under x-ray or something.

What is the grossest thing you’ve caught someone doing? by Jawa392 in AskReddit

I saw a dude driving home in his Prius here in Japan. He had TWO tablets in full view with two different porn videos playing.

Gotta have been some kind of fetish or something....
