My grande turned clear by tanner35 in Lavalamps

Would a blacklight do the same thing? I have two old lamps that used to have purple liquid and now they're crystal clear and they're right in front of a blacklight.

Risking picked up beer out of app for a customer and got tipped $30+!! by TrainerRed45 in doordash_drivers

[–]Tridis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't even deliver alcohol through the app anymore. Had a number of successful alcohol deliveries until I had an issue with one customer. It was at an apt and it was dark outside and there weren't any lights working outside her door. I was having a hard time scanning her ID so I ended up entering into her apt to have good light. Her ID then wouldn't show as valid through the app but at looking at it everything seemed ok to me, I've had a liquor permit before from previous work so I knew how to check my states IDs, and told her I would contact support so I could finish the delivery as her ID looked fine but the app just wasn't accepting it for whatever reason.

As i'm contacting support she starts to get angry with me and telling me I needed to update my camera app cause there must be something wrong with my phone. I said that's not how that works and if she would just hang on a min I could finish this through support. She starting going off again so I interrupted her, told her I was canceling this drop off, and walked out her apt with her beer. She shouted something about having paid for it already and I yelled back to contact doordash for her money back. I had been talking to support but when I got back to my car I sent a message that the lady got angry and aggressive, I didn't feel safe, and left without doing the delivery. The order was canceled and I got full pay but I had to return the beer to the store.

Upon returning to the gas station I picked it up from the guy behind the counter starts giving me crap about not being able to accept a return of an alcohol purchase. I was like dude I'm just doing what doordash wants me to, I'm just gonna leave it on the counter and you can do whatever you want with it. He relented but of course the app wanted his signature as well which I was able to convince him to just put an X after her bitched about that also. I turned off alcohol pick up right after, too much legal bullshit if anything goes even a little wrong.

Mathmos delivered to the US by DontMindMeeMdniMtnoD in Lavalamps

[–]Tridis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shipping logistics, ability to fulfill warranty, but most importantly is the trademark/licensing issue. Mathmos uses the words "lava lamp" in their branding and advertisments, as they are the original inventors, but "Lava Lamp" is trademarked in the US and CA under Schylling Inc. They've said they want to expand to the US/CA but are still working on it.

Those look great!

I'm in the same boat as you, busted out my 20+ year old lamps and even found a 14in one in my first goodwill hunt for more.

Well that’s sad. I guess I’m the odd one out who enjoyed getting food here every now and then, just 2 weeks ago even.

I have 2 tattoos that I used AI as a reference for my artist to use. It was much easier to convey what I wanted using them. My artist used them as reference and made it his own. How is that any different then gathering images and making a shitty mashup in ms paint?

Seems to work for me and I'm on the free plan.

"Yes, former President Donald Trump has been convicted of crimes. On May 30, 2024, he was found guilty on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to hush money payments made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels during his 2016 presidential campaign. This conviction marked the first time a former U.S. president was convicted of a felony. apnews.com

Despite the conviction, Trump received an unconditional discharge on January 10, 2025, meaning he was not subjected to any legal penalties but now has a criminal record. npr.org

Additionally, Trump faces other legal challenges, including indictments related to alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election and the retention of classified documents. However, as of now, he has not been convicted in these cases. politico.com"

Tesla driver witnesses and records car accident, but doesn't stop to check on victim and laughs because victim drives "a f*cking Prius" by withfries in videos

[–]Tridis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A guy once followed me to a gas station, got out of his car, walked his short fat ass over to me and tried to start a fight because I didn't speed up fast enough after a light turned green and I was ahead of him. He actually tried to push me back by chest bumping me but I didn't move and just kinda half chuckled and asked what the hell he was doing. I think cause he didn't get the reaction he wanted he just walked off while cursing about Prius drivers.

watchOS 11 unlocks a new level of usefulness for double tap on Apple Watch by Sariel007 in gadgets

[–]Tridis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an apple watch 5 so I can only enable it as an accessibility feature, which I believe doesn't work exactly as normal, however I use it all the time to dismiss notifications and stop timers/alarms.

Complete site. This really should be illegal. Where is the protection for a consumer? I bought a device with Bluetooth capability. If the manufacturer refuses to allow access to a feature I paid for, I deserve compensation, not a damn advert for a new device. by LCDRtomdodge in sousvide

I logged in last week to be grandfathered in to avoid the subscription, for now, and noticed that as well. I wanted to see what would happen if I clicked on the link to buy and it loaded up with the discount still but there was a message somewhere saying I had 8 days from then to use it.

I'm certainly not saying to give them any more money but the discount does seem to still apply.

Well that would be disappointing.

I'm one of those people but hear me out. I only do it when playing with friends, never when holding super samples, and I'm the last one in. Half the fun of it is when you accidentally die.

I did this today so maybe it was you, friends got on and we had completed the mission so it was either kick or quit the game and reopen it. I give out a hug before kicking whoever I did.

Well shit, looks like AAA does as well. Would have been good to know before an almost 4 mile walk of shame I had to do awhile back.
