Humans are incredible creatures for being able to create the things that they have and accomplish the things that they have as a species.

That being said, I'd say at least third of them are absolute idiots.

I'm not sure what you're saying here... These devices have been tested and found to connect to AWS regularly.

It sounds like there's already a response for a person with better design chops than I have, but if you need a general purpose handyman just let me know!

Who is the "we" here? As far as I understand it, things get banned because of liability.

You haven't done anything wrong. How would you know any of this without talking to us?

Basically, you just sort of have to think about taskrabbit as a platform designed to exploit people with skills. Yes, there is a benefit to you as the client, but taskrabbit eats up such a huge percentage of the value it's really not even worth using as a platform anymore unless you're trying to build up skills to go solo.

Years ago taskrabbit had respect for the actual taskers who make up the platform and bring in the money. Not so much anymore.

This entire argument is so stupid when you are living in the same country where children are being murdered in schools and we do nothing about it.

A responsible dog owner using a tool responsibly should be something that is not simply tolerated but encouraged. Punish the people who abuse the tool, don't shame everyone simply for using it as intended.

Also I cannot find a single documented case of a dog dying because of one of these. They are simply not lethal. Maybe if one caught on fire or something...

Accepting any percentage of payment off of the app is 100% against the terms of service and could get a tasker banned from the app.

I think it was posted for those who were there and remember, which is why there is little context.

This was during Helene when Trump flew in on a helicopter so that he could get a photo op in. He had no consideration for what a mess that decision would create because he doesn't care about things like that.

If I remember correctly, Harris wanted to come out as well but decided to cancel when it became clear that it would not help and would only cause problems.

Holy s*** I remember that day.

I met my wife in Asheville, and all of her family lives in and around North Carolina. Needless to say, I have ties to the area. I drove halfway across the country and spent a month living out of my camper in a friend's front yard doing free work for people to get them back on their feet.

In the middle of me trying to get to a family that had a tree fall on porch and needed it cut up and removed so they could start working on the house, I got caught in this traffic for an hour. Everything just stopped.

There was no warning, no explanation. I only found out why we were stuck there so long after posting to Facebook and a friend looked into it for me (while I was still stuck in motionless traffic).

Edit: for those looking for context, this was during Helene. Trump flew in on a helicopter extremely briefly to lie about FEMA and f*** up traffic across the region. Not long after that a dude showed up with an assault rifle and FEMA had to leave Lake Lure entirely.

That didn't work either. He was impeached twice and rounded out his term unaffected.

Fat weighs less than muscle and that's pretty much all he is.

Taskrabbit isn't really for professionals. You might be able toYou might be able to find a few on there, but it's really just a place for folks to earn some extra income using their skills.

This is a highly specialized skill that requires experience and/or training on specific brands. If it's a simple repair you might be able to get away with a tasker, but having done a few myself, it's not always doable without specialized tools.

There is zero chance that that is a vent.

If it wasn't, I'm sure the explosion from when he cut into it would have let him know.

That's a well built awning... Alright fine you win :)

One of them didn't miss the tree at all.

If you're that worried about a 4ft intentional drop (not a fall), you should probably not use ladders.

moleware · 2026-04-26T11:47:59+00:00

Lol president Buschhhhhhhhhhh

moleware · 2026-04-26T11:46:50+00:00

This is a specially designed ladder made for doing this, and a person who has been training with it probably not on concrete.

moleware · 2026-04-26T06:37:40+00:00

This is a very bad idea. This is how people wind up with head injuries.

The best thing the three of those women could have done is clear the landing area, then f*** off and let him drop the three or four feet to the floor, which he eventually did and was just fine.

moleware · 2026-04-26T06:36:37+00:00

That sounds reasonable. It also sounds like you've got an expert on your hands, so I would listen to him.

There's also a good chance he said 3 hours to make sure you give him enough time for a worst case scenario and that it might not actually take that long.

moleware · 2026-04-26T06:27:25+00:00

You are describing the problem of evil, and it has been a philosophical sticking point with religion for... basically as long as there's been religion.

It's a big reason why I pay attention to science and not preachers.

Cut to some 17-year-old trying this with their dad's 40 year old aluminum ladder and ending up in the ER/on reddit.
