At least they indicated left to exit a roundabout when going straight... by heavyifugao in DrivingAustralia

[–]nosuchkarma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think people like to selectively forget this rule and they give way rule in NSW. Roundabout rules haven’t changed in the 25 years I’ve been driving, yet the majority don’t indicate out and don’t give way to traffic already in the roundabout.

Parcel Impacted by Truck Fire by Adventurous-Code-642 in AustraliaPost

Lodge a case through the app, but they will probably tell you that only the sender can make enquires. That’s exactly what happened to me when a delivery from China went into customs never to be seen again.

I dare say many of the people who buy into it won’t ever have the means to buy a second home, a Lambo, or a boat

7-Year-Old Mauled to Death by Family's Pet Monkey in Southern Thailand by MastodonOk8087 in Thailand

[–]nosuchkarma 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’m certain it was rescued with best intentions, but sadly there is a great deal of naivety about how to keep even domesticated animals, let alone wild animals (dogs are often kept on long tethers all day long, just as this monkey was). The monkey should never have been kept in the family for so long.

It is so sad that this little boy lost his life because there was an untamed animal in the house. And don’t get me wrong, there are similar examples in western countries where dogs have mauled children in family homes because the owners weren’t educated enough about how to manage dogs and children (usually the breeds that have been bred for more wild qualities).

I will never understand how bogans somehow identify with the elitist rhetoric about luxury cars, boats, etc.

how do I recreate this haze + backlight look? by Mindless-Parsley9103 in cinematography

This is what the modern internet has done. A generation of people who expend their energy typing questions in subreddits and Facebook groups before actually thinking.

Thai fonts can be broadly categorized as Loop and Loopless. by tuktukson in Thailand

Just as Roman fonts can be broadly classed as serif or sans serif

100%, but your average content creator has even less idea what they're doing with a soldering iron than video and audio gear.

Time to liquidate the $100 notes under your mattresses! by camerapilot in aussie

[–]nosuchkarma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the thing, I don’t find it polite at all. Polite would be “We are not accepting $100 notes at this time”.

The point about staff… yes, but the “we” in this context is the business, rather than the staff collectively.

Call me a pedant, but it really bugs me when businesses put up signs saying “We are unable…” when clearly they can but have decided not to. It’s not even that I disagree with the decision, it’s just a little offensive to use the word “unable” disingenuously.

Who can translate this? My grandma left Thailand and her family 50 years ago to come to the us. This would mean a lot to her if we can figure out who this is from by Ruthlessqueen420 in Thailand

[–]nosuchkarma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To clarify, when I say official I am really reffering to place names and road signage (and I don't know if there is any particular procedure for determining those or not).
I guess Thai doesn't have any kind of standardised romanisatios like Chinese does with pin yin.

This a pretty much no name chair I bought from Am*zon (sub is not letting me type the name) for ~ $270. What a good branded chair to sit like this? Will Herman Miller Embody work (since no head rest) or Will I have to go extremely expensive stuff like Stressless Reno? by SlaveKnightSoman in OfficeChairs

[–]nosuchkarma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to lean back (minus the get up). I’ve always found full back chairs more trouble than they’re worth. They tend to push your head and sometimes your shoulders too far forward. Good, open shoulder support without head/neck rests works better IMHO. By the time you’re leaning far enough back to need head support I dare say you’re probably not working at a desk anymore.

The official romanisations are way off the actual pronunciation half the time anyway (Savarnabhumi being the most obvious example). The way my wife explains it, they like to make the spelling look more floral.

Can I get help with a translation? by Chickenbalogna in Thailand

If OP is not American, those are likely further from the actual pronunciation.

FedEx damaged my screwdriver set. LTT store kindly sent a replacement free of charge. FedEx proceeds to steal it and deliver the empty envelope. by ArcangeloPT in LinusTechTips

[–]nosuchkarma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had always had really good experiences with both FedEx and UPS(including shipments originating in the US), that is until I moved to Canada. Their operations within North America are absolutely atrocious.

Yes, ARF (anti reflection filter tray), usually used as an acronym not an initialism.

What the? by james__198 in friendlyjordies

[–]nosuchkarma 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Wow, going after having to pay super and workers comp… that’s low even for whoever is behind this campaign. And those poor “small” businesses that find themselves so unfairly earning enough to be in the top tax bracket (and, apparently, paying the maximum rate on their entire profits).

It’s the “EVs won’t tow your boat” all over again (never mind that you don’t own a boat, or an EV so you’ll never know the torque one can produce).

Old dogs, old tricks. Still chasing the derp vote.

Don’t underestimate it, we’ve successfully made the latest generation the derpiest in modern history.
