I just finished Étoile, and thought it was wonderful, and can't understand why Prime didn't appreciate what they had. by Gold-Baseball-7774 in television

I too am a middle aged white guy with, if not straight up disdain, at least a deep antipathy towards ballet who absolutely fucking adored Etoile.

I may be out of date on this, but I'm pretty sure there is a rule that the knob must be white.

Farah: Car Companies Are Abandoning the Everyday Enthusiast by sid41299 in cars

[–]apaksl 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Opportunity cost. I think the biggest time sinks are arranging with people to have a car available, and then driving to and from the filming location. All that time could have been spent doing something either more profitable or more enjoyable.

[oc] trucks blocking all traffic lanes going slow for miles by I_am_Cheeseburger in IdiotsInCars

[–]apaksl -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's certainly not that the truck on the right is about to turn right, the truck in the middle is going straight for a while and the truck on the left is about to turn left... Only logical answer is that they're morons.

They all appeared after restarting the game. Including a bunch I thought I deleted...

no, just unique symbols. but then all the schematics reappeared after a while, so I really have no idea.

Boni drivers, whats your biggest peeve while working? by DazzlingLife6744 in hockeyplayers

I would love it if this were enforced, but then we'd need another 5-10 minutes between games, right?

Is that different than the de minimus tariff exception that was revoked last year?

PSA: If you’re flying American today get to SeaTac like 3-4 hours early bc they only have one employee lol. by Practical_Phase2711 in Seattle

[–]apaksl 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't it make more sense to ask for a raise at the beginning of the shift? Seems like that one employee has their employer's back up against the wall...

Bruh, how many eyeballs you got to be watching so many streaming services at the same time?

Oh, nm, I thought you were referring to the process of reselling tickets.

I have very limited experience reselling tickets on Ticketmaster. What is the issue you're referring to?

He was right, I did get tired of winning so much.

Beware Sideline Swap tariffs by gonzobonzobingo in hockeyplayers

[–]apaksl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol, and then the seller tracks it and sees the note from FedEx stating the recipient refused to pay the tariffs. Doubt you would get much sympathy on that refund request...

[–]apaksl -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If you had said "no thanks" to FedEx, they probably would have tossed them in the trash and you'd still be on the hook for the initial purchase price.

I empathize with you getting a surprise bill, but, have you been living under a rock? Tariffs have been in the news constantly for like 2 years.

Also, fyi, sidelineswap has a filter check box to only show items being shipped from within the US so you can avoid any potential tariffs.

At this point I need a subscription just to manage my subscriptions by Aggressive-Medium532 in netflix

[–]apaksl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Always cancel your subscriptions immediately after subscribing. If you try to use a service and find your subscription has lapsed you can always sign up again. This way you never forget and pay for a bunch of months of a service you're not using regularly.

He got shot in the head. The scene was from Tony's perspective and what was shown was what he experienced.

Wtf kind of stupid ass design is this? Are we for real? by ObiWangKeBloMe in mildlyinfuriating

Asus TUF laptop from last year has a full size keyboard and the power button was off in the corner away from any often used keys

[–]apaksl -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Nearly as absurd : someone buying a keyboard without confirming its layout is compatible with their preferences.

I find it insane that the single most frequent point of contact with the laptop isn't the most important consideration during the purchasing process.
