Just don’t buy anything of value. I thought I’d save $30 buying a mtb dropper post direct from aliexpress instead of resellers on amazon. Fedex delivered it to the wrong address and the seller refused to file a claim with fedex and I couldn’t because I was receiving not shipping. Customer support sided with the seller because the label was marked ‘delivered’ and I was out $70.
socialism is when the government does stuff, and the more stuff it does the more socialist it is
It’s so cool watching conspiratorial thinking consume every level of society.
The russians are highly invested in swaying the tens of people on lemmy, theyre watching this post like a hawk.
Lol the downvotes. ‘No, don’t undercut my propaganda. they must be doing it because homophobia!’
Idk, sometimes it can be great. I worked on wind turbines for a while and one of my favorite memories is when I had the privilege of watching a beautiful sunrise from the top of a turbine. The day to day of working with a small team to kick ass at something that long-term helped provide power to thousands of homes was very fulfilling. I’d go back in a heartbeat if they built wind turbines in localities that don’t suck (technically they do but good luck getting one of those site positions in Hawaii or the other small desirable wind farms).
I don’t think any hobby can approximate the fulfillment that comes with doing something materially significant for society.
They said invested, not ‘put in a checking account and drawn down’. Even 5% returns would be 50k annually, which is already more than the median individual income. Actual return on the S&P 500 for the last 25 years has been around 8%.
My entire impression of HR at amazon warehouses is HR is there to onboard new hires and occasionally act as an equivalent to t1 tech support. You go to the amazon worker subreddit and about half the posts talking about a problem have comments like ‘yeah just call corporate HR they’ll fix it’ because onsite HR fucked something up.
edit: Also worth noting, that same subreddit is pointing out that medical leave of absence is always approved by default with 30 days to provide proof so yeah she probably put in for the wrong type of leave.
Most people who have worked at an amazon warehouse will tell you the same story: yes amazon sucks, no not for that reason in the news. Amazon was the 2nd best warehouse I’ve worked at, but that’s more a condemnation of the industry than praise for amazon.
Unless you mean like a cafe or restaurant that also happens to have live music sometimes not really. It’s not really financially viable. A 50-200 person venue that doesn’t serve alcohol and only has shows during the day is not a niche that exists.
Architecturally sure but zoning wise probably not. I can actually sympathize with nimbys in this scenario, locked into a mortgage next door to a church vs next door to a music venue with a liquor license are two totally different scenarios.
Wow imagine if the whitehouse continued to arm israel and give them a greenlight for ongoing genocide. What a terrible world that awaits us in 2023-present
And you can see it referenced in absolutely every anime that has an excuse to have a giant skeleton. Hell there is a show airing currently that references it in the official promo poster or whatever it’s called. Once you notice it you can never stop seeing it.
Frankly incredible that the NEC isn’t requiring this in all new editions yet. Absurdly short sighted. Like, it’s just 1 circuit to a garage if a garage is present. All the yokel states can refuse to adopt that section if they want, whatever.
Lmao. If you ever worked in construction you’d know that 1. code compliance is not that hard 2. you do not want the random contractor chucklefucks making it up on the fly without a sanity check from the inspector. Be glad your house doesn’t burn down because knob and tube isn’t code compliant.
*Also, you can absolutely build a small cheap house that is code compliant. The reason nobody does is because banks dont want to lend for it and builders want the better margins that come with a larger more upscale house.
Oh so not really even your home circuits then. Just get something like a jackery, ecoflow, or bluetti. I’ve had a bluetti and ecoflow and recommend an ecoflow product. If you really really wanted to you could power an in wall circuit with one but it would be pretty jank.
Weird how people aren’t talking about the major shortcomings of the democratic candidate anymore. I wonder why that might be.
If Kamala was anti trans rights you’d be sitting here like “why doesnt anyone talk about trans rights anymore, those damned russians at it again”. No, it’s tablestakes that the right is awful. You’re on a left leaning platform, most people here oppose the genocide. Obviously there was going to be vocal pushback on how your candidate sucked on an issue that basic.
Why would you pass up on the free money of selling the power? You’re probably looking for a hybrid system if you just want to keep the lights on during a service outage. Or I guess you can just build an off grid system and wire it to a generator transfer switch if you want to power your house circuits but only during an outage.
Most half decent solar installers can help either way.

It’s just a catchier name than microblog posts.
Which still makes it an aliexpress issue when they choose the carrier not you.
