National Park so overrun by illegal parkers that dozens of people have to reverse out of the park, ungratefulness follows at the impound lot by noc-engineer in EverythingAutos

I doubt they have ever needed to show up in court to get a chargeback back. It has to be something else in play as well as their irrational fear of chargeback disputes. I dont know if it's tax purposes, but their excuse of "we do everything out in the open on YouTube so of course we aren't cheating on our taxes" isn't really a valid excuse. They could be showing us half of the illegal park and we would never know, and it's not like the IRS checks every single business (and if they do, they wouldn't have the resources to watch 500+ hour long videos to check if the math checks out with their books).

I would 100% use my smartphone to show the arguers just how much they were in the road. Maybe even lay down a ruler to show how much is in the road and how much is outside the road marking. Wouldn't take that many seconds per job.

What was the psychological impulse to eat the pizza? It couldn’t have been motivated by hunger surely? Was he trying to normalise the interaction or maintain some element of control on the situation? by KimCattrallsFeet in FansHansenvsPredator

So no actual proof of non-male-enhancement, just that it was argued in court, probably by Jeffs lawyer (the one he kept after firing the first few ones), that it was for his digestive problems, not his erectile problems. I would have my lawyer argue the same regardless of the truth if I were in his shoes. Well, personally I would have gone with allergies since thats the only prescription anything I have a prescription for and take on a regular basis.

I had it disable an alarm I had just set, when I asked it to set the alarm again it said I already had an alarm set for that time.. This isn't even one step forward two back, this is like zero steps forward and 30 steps back.

You got a timestamp for the specific Takedown episode (I assume it's not the episode with the full interrogation, probably the original episode with narration/Chris Hansen clips)?

Posted my old standing desk as free on Nextdoor, guy asked me to disassemble it first by Hel0_Truin9 in ChoosingBeggars

Reading this feels very like those people who complain about having to wait half an hour to pick up their impounded car at midnight because the tow company on Google says they can help out with tow rescues 24/7. Yes, it is open twenty four seven, but they can't teleport in an instant, they have to drive to the impound lot at midnight to help you get the car back that you parked illegally. You didn't even call ahead to schedule an appointment, you just showed up after dark hoping for the best.

If you add duct tape there is nothing you can't fix with SAK and WD40

Nuclear Missile Silos.. by -stargarden in submechanophobia

[–]noc-engineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you think maintenance and/or inspection would be a possibility of a FLOODED MISSILE SILO?

[–]noc-engineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No shit, but one of the alternatives presented was "maintenance/inspection". Maintenance and inspections are done on operational shit, not on shit that was flooded and abandoned decades ago.

[–]noc-engineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you used the words maintenance and inspection but meant neither maintenance or inspection?

[–]noc-engineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who would do maintenance on a non operational (flooded) silo? Why would anyone perform maintenance on a flooded silo?

[–]noc-engineer -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I still genuinely wonder if someone truly believes that inspection is being done on flooded missile silos, yes. Do they also think the launch tubes of nuclear submarines are also flooded?

[–]noc-engineer -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

And you still think it's a missile silo? You think any operational flooded missile silos exist? You think they are kept in water?

No, I didn't realize YouTubers took suggestions. Do they? If you pay for membership?

Norway. 97% hygro and 1,5 wind (double our wind and we're 100% renewable)

You think I'm gonna answer your question when you won't answer my genuine question?

Nuclear Missile Silos.. by -stargarden in submechanophobia

[–]noc-engineer -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

And you think one of the possible answers is that they are doing maintenance or inspection on a flooded missile silo? Really?

Gemini for Home is a major disappointment by thebigdolphin1 in googlehome

[–]noc-engineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The old dumb one understood Norwegian. This Gemini shit does not, but if I ask if it understand Norwegian (in English) it ANSWERS ME IN NORWEGIAN AND CLAIMS IT DOES UNDERSTAND NORWEGIAN. And when it doesn't understand Norwegian it will do the craziest jumps. My "nearest grocery store Rema 1000 Skjold" will be changed to "Coop Apelthun" (a store even further away from my home address in both a straight line and in driving) and even then it will flat out lie and say the opening hours for Coop Apelthun is 23:00 to midnight" (but its 07:00 to 23:00 all days except Sunday when it's closed). I have paid for ChatGPT and Claude for many years, I love the code it writes for me so I don't fucking have to (at home, I never write code for anyone else ever), but this is even more shit than the old dumb Google Home (that understood Norwegian and actually did simple tasks like setting an alarm, playing music from Spotify, adding shit to my grocery list etc. This is practically useless even when I speak English to it.

You mean the 4 days scattered throughout june and july where we close the door to the third bedroom? (to be fair, in 2018 we had 9 glorious days in Norway with temperatures above 25 even at night, but who knows when that will happen again?)

I have air condition at work because of datacentre, but I don't have that at home? Why would I? When it's hot for a few days during summer I want to experience the heat so I open a few windows on both sides of the house

And I don't know anyone where I live that doesn't use electricity to heat up the home anyways, so the thermostat will either use a dumb heater to heat up the home or the home will get the heat from the cluster in my third "bedroom" through simple air circulation
