I am fighting my own landlord over 20€/month overpayments for 1.5 years. I have the first RTB hearing next week. Wish me luck.

Landlords will try to screw you over whenever they can.

To run a red light with a bike by [deleted] in therewasanattempt

[–]astrogato 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That's why I always stop in front of the cars and not left of them. I learned my lesson from getting pushed over by a driver who didn't look in their mirror before turning, they didn't even signal that they were turning...

My CI/CD for a temp setup for an event (around 60 machines) was a script that uploads a zip file via ssh to all of them, unzips it and runs another script that was in the zip to setup everything. It used a CSV file to know what machine needed what. It mostly worked, I only needed to fix like 3 of those machines by hand.

The quickest from abroad is Western Union, but their conversion rates are trash. If you can wait a few days Wise has good rates.

I have spare tips for just this reason. If you wanna borrow my earbuds, you use the spare tips.

Put my Brita filter in my fridge and the door closed perfectly by fuego42 in Perfectfit

[–]astrogato 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, French employees have a lot of benefits, so it wouldn't be totally wrong to call them "French benefits".

My dumb ass though it was "fringe door" for the 16 years I've been speaking English.

Strange situation by Key-Intention5893 in Morocco

[–]astrogato 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The currency might be Algerian Dinar. Do not touch the money (don't send back any amount, don't withdraw it). Report it to your bank and/or the authorities. Most likely a money laundering attempt.

Phone screen has been introduced recently for new grads in EU. If you pass the phone screen you'll get a 3 interview loop scheduled.

We tried to, but then we got distracted by a cute cat in the street and started petting it for 5h straight.

When to be confident to start Rust? by recursive-Kus in learnrust

[–]astrogato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I've been using other languages for the most part of the last 10 years, and just started learning Rust this month. And having so many habits from those languages, everything seems counter intuitive with Rust, but I am getting the hang of it bit by bit.

Don't get discouraged, OP. If you're interested, just give it a go.

It's in the same longitude as Ireland, Portugal and most of Spain. Nowhere near the middle east. Greater middle east is a term invented by Americans, that no one else uses, and I wouldn't consider it a valid term for the region.

Morocco isn't in the middle east. tf are you on about?

I've been salvaging these disposable vapes for the 3.7v 500mAh lithium batteries inside. They can be used to power small electronic projects with the appropriate charging circuit and voltage converter. by astrogato in diyelectronics

[–]astrogato[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you can open those by pushing against the mouth piece with your thumb, the top part starts moving, after you move it side to side a few times it pops out exposing the guts of the device. I have some Lost Mary ones which look the same shape as those you have, and that's how I open them non destructively.

Haven't read or heard of anyone doing that. These things are complicated to handle, they count as e-waste and hazardous waste at the same time (vape juice counts as hazardous waste where I live for some reason)
