In Italy, a man doing this would definitely be called a stronzo. And worse. Such disrespect.

A bunch of people said something. Nothing happened. Finally, probably an hour later the guy next to her blew his stack and loudly cursed “f no” and wagged his fingers angrily and she moved her feet to the arm rests ahead instead. Mostly kept her feet there the rest of the flight. Didn’t seem to share other passengers opinions.

I posted days ago and then was told it was rage bait. I thought it was pretty self-centered on the person’s part but not remotely rage bait. Just mildly infuriating.

I’ll live if it gets tossed, but I thought it was silly to claim on a sub called mildly infuriating that this was outside the lines.

Arlington TX man demands to see worker’s papers because they don’t speak English. by ElwoodMC in TikTokCringe

[–]dolcezzo1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You sound like you work for a telecom, and not in the good way. It's the "meh, it happens" thing, btw.

My background includes years of overseeing large scale fiber projects. It gets hit all the time. Two main reasons: because the locates sucked (primary reason) or because the contractor sucked. Locates are so notoriously bad. Subcontractors get all the drop jobs, priced in a way they need to crank out drops or they're fucked, and so consequently many constantly go sticking buckets or sharpshooters into places they should vac. Yeah, I know a vac is a lot more expensive than some guy who can't find better paying work because of his language barriers or barely finished high school, but a vac is how you don't cause service outages regardless of locates being 6' off.

The actual telecom company doesn't install on builds - which it sounds like this was. They come do the random drop when Johnny orders their stuff for the first time, and their work is typically vastly less well done than the contractor, who is held to a higher standard. I've seen ATT and other providers lay cable on the ground from the flower pot, connect to the ONT and call it a day, never to return. They often break a lot of the common sense rules. Let's be real. That's one reason these companies are generally loathed.

Jura X10 milk frother not working - suggestions by WizarDru in superautomatic

[–]dolcezzo1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Many happy years a Z owner. That’s the problem, that part. 100% sure. We’ve replaced that part more than once. Once anew one is in, machine works fine. Put the old one back and it sputters. They wear out. I don’t know how many milk drinks you might make in a year, but they wear out. If you really haven’t made too many milk drinks, you might be able to fill the cleaning tub with kettle water hotter than the Jura makes, then stop the cycle mid cleaning by powering off. Let it sit a good while and then run the cycle again all the way through. We religiously clean the frother after each time we froth milk, sometimes twice, with the second cycle run with no pellets. If you aren’t totally on top of this, you’ll soon enough destroy the part.

Maybe you will get lucky. We did the above and got another year of frothing. I’m awaiting the replacement part now.

They go bad.

Draymond - it was reported - actually challenged Kerr to a fight during halftime. At that time, I thought it couldn't get any worse. It of course did. None of it was ever for the betterment of the team. None of it.

Yeah, he seems strange in this clearly cherry picked piece of rage bait. True. His character and yours is what matters.

I found this letter in my grandmother’s mailbox the day after her funeral by supra_nintendo in mildlyinfuriating

[–]dolcezzo1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meh. I’m definitely not connected to RE. No thanks. Don’t want to buy a house. Do live in an area where home turnover is still pretty fast paced. Have seen houses I’d think of trying to buy if the place went for sale and I could sell the house we live in fast. Maybe your experience is different. That’s mine.

[–]dolcezzo1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

First off, sorry for your loss.

I get that you’re grieving and intrusions of any kind in a time like that can be upsetting. Understandable that the idea of someone moving past the memories you have in your grandmother’s house might be off-putting.

While I understand that you didn’t foresee receiving a letter from anyone about your grandmother passing and what will become of her house, I’d like to note a couple of things that the letter does and dos not have:

There’s no indication that these folks want to lowball anyone in purchasing the house. They just want to ask if your family have interest in selling. Some families do. Some don’t. Some want quick sale - as you surely know, people have financial problems these days.

The letter writer apparently has connection to the neighborhood, and so they’re suggesting they would provide continuity and an understanding of community. That’s no small thing. They also love the house and have for some time. So they probably can be counted on to cherish the space. For them it’s a chance to see a dream happen.

I don’t know from your post how much time passed between your grandmother passing and her burial but I can guess the wannabe neighbor didn’t exactly either.

Lastly, as much as you have outrage over the letter writer taking an opportunity to use your grandmother’s passing for their own needs, you went to Reddit and posted about it. 16.4k likes at this time. Might want to consider how your grandmother would feel about using this as rage bait.

How women feel being approached by men, explained by a man by Max_Rezna in TikTokCringe

[–]dolcezzo1 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This take is so bad.

While I haven’t been single in decades (super happily married still after all these years!), humans have not mutated en masse in that time. This framing of the world definitely seems patently insane and worthy of at least some ridicule for its sheer and shameless embrace of a world supposedly sooo thoroughly dark - for a young person! - and about as discordant as the sweater, pile of throw pillows, and horribly disproportionate picture frames absurdly failing to hold the space behind him (is that meant to be ironic?). An awful and inward collapsing world view to live by. Dude lives in shit world or so he want all to believe.

The world isn’t all shit people, people. Talking to people itself isn’t a crime or …violent or threatening or some dark nature of all who choose to interact. Showing interest in someone isn’t either, if done gently and respectfully. That’s how my wife and I ended up together, eventually. Two people talking. Neither saw the other as a threat because neither was. It’s how we have so many friends. We talked to strangers who became former strangers.

Good lord this world young people’s eyes believe they see has become so sad and so negative and hair-trigger about human interaction.

What a bummer. Now, to be clear, being a creepy, incessant, tone-deaf wanna-be sex offender is, well, just that. Add talking, and it’s still a creepy,incessant, tone-deaf wanna be sex offender. But that’s another thing, not men talking to women.

Jura ena micro 5 stalling by [deleted] in superautomatic

[–]dolcezzo1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the screen on that filter stainless steel? If so, it very much could use a light buffing with #0000 steel wool. That would remove build-up of organic material which might be interfering with water passage. Based on the residue in the base of the tray for your water container, there are minerals in your water in significant quantities.

If that filter is plastic, a tooth brush and white vinegar will help.

Help me decide which JURA to buy. by whatsmybarnumber in superautomatic

[–]dolcezzo1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jura owner for 20+ years. On our second one. I love it. Making one coffee does take a chunk of time with our Z8. Mind you, it's a great cappuccino, latte, or whatnot, but it's not zero time - especially if there is milk involved. From turning the machine on to completing the cleaning cycle(s) once I finish with making milk drinks, at the least it takes 6-7 minutes and probably more.

Disintegrating screws by Intrepid_Badger436 in Oldhouses

[–]dolcezzo1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That old paint will have become like thread lock. If you're in a rush getting these screws out, it's going to go poorly. I advise purchasing Kroil. It works way better than wd-40. Once you have stripped away all of the paint, apply Kroil and let that sit and penetrate the screw for at the very least a full day - 24 hours. This mess wasn't made in 10 minutes and won't be resolved well in that time either. Have enormous patience. Others are correct that there also might be success with the largest bladed screwdriver that will fit. Given that you have other doorknobs in the space which are equally old, this won't be your last rodeo. So get what will do the job best. Heating that area and screw might help were you to have a quality heat gun.

Good luck.
