That was a hilarious read. It just kept getting better, like I was reading Yakety Sax.

I dunno how Americans do it, but from life in the tropics dealing with monsoons and cyclones, we fill up the bath tub the day before we’re expected to get hit. Then we have plenty of water for drinking, washing, and cooking.
Most times it’s not needed because civil infrastructure is built for the environment, but some times water is shut off or compromised for a few days. I’ve also had pipes rupture while flooded in for a few days, so water was suddenly dirty, and my bath water become a supply for a few neighbours until floods receded enough for services to come in with water. Sounds a bit wild, but it’s kind of normal in places like that. It’s all part of the “day before routine”.
And second degree burning is blistering. Could’ve been as simple as leaning against a truck exhaust.
Edit: Oh, I stand corrected. It is blistering at most.
Yeah, it’s tricky that, especially with international stuff. When something kicks off internationally and suddenly a bajillion charity groups appear, it’s troublesome.
And it’s my rule of thumb to just disregard anything from a religion, I won’t even bother checking into them. Whenever there’s been a charity called out for being evil, it’s ironically Christian-based.
I wish my mother was like this,.I’d.actually read her messages. She just uses my phone number as her personal journal. I get dozens of messages a day about nothing. I have to mute her and check every now and then, scrolling through useless shit about—hang on, I’ll look at the last three topics; dogs and horses going to heaven, liking nature and not suburbia, the sermon at a mid-week church event—and make sure nothing important happened. I’ve told her to chill, it doesn’t work.
I haven’t done web work for well over a decade and recently was surprised to learn that Wordpress is still very relevant. I remember back then, seeking alternatives as we expected it to become more of a legacy thing a few years down the track, so we were on the lookout for future-proofing client sites with a better foundation. At that point it was a decade old and annoying af because it morphed into a messy way of doing websites because people misused it’s original purpose. Brain had to think like a blog and then trick it into doing what you want, kind of like using tables to structure pages before CSS-P saved the day.
Well, he was also a part of blocking the military aid to Ukraine for all those months. But this one is good
Ironically,.not many people would’ve known about this. Now they do and hiis behaviour paints the Republican Party poorly. it is such a very normal and inconspicuous thing,.and then he does this,.making me wonder wtf is up with him and that party.
Seen these on Jay Leno’s Garage. Cars used to come with them and were intended to be used for picnics and whatnot.
Where I recently moved to, everything is a 10-20 min drive away, but buses can be over an hour because how poorly they’re done. Apparently they used to be quite bad, but recent changes made them awful and no one understands how the new routes and timetables managed to be approved and implemented.
There’s another? Let me guess, whale.decapitation and roadkill bear guy?
It was the T-800
Usually electronica or classical. Both just fill in with tasty noises that blend into the background. Most music composed with some sort of a music theory background tends to do this well without relying on lyrics, repetition or distractions fighting for your attention.
No, he’s still being executed.
“It’s our final offer or else we’ll get an entire already skilled workforce some place else!”
Damn. This comment section really highlights who lives on Lemmy and it’s their number 1 source for everything vs. people that just use it like a social.
Ironically, those not ignoring them are the ones empowering them. You can justify yourself however you want, but you’re just fire for your own nest.
Yup, that’s standard. If you’re about three responses in, give up, it’s already lost and incapable of focusing on the requirements. It will also lie to please. There is zero admission of confidence score. You only pick up on the things you know are wrong and considering how often that is, the rest can only be taken with a grain of salt.
When I arrived again in Australia, floods happened again—hm, maybe I’m the problem—anyway! Insurance companies were trying to get out of payments by saying flood damage was covered as a result of flooding from rain. And yes, rain obviously caused the flooding, but the rain occured up on mountains which then flowed down and flooded areas below.
The government regulators got onto it straight away.
The final attempt argument was something like “The insurances cover water coming from above, not below.”
Regulators didn’t have a bar of it. Insurance companies had to do—get this—insurance.
Everyone was happy except for insurance companies and the people that lost their homes and got financially held up for over a year as the insurance companies tried to find any leftover money for payouts because the rest was in funds. Of course.
Also, they left behind a loaded magazine on the floor 🤣
