And then you have some ridiculous retailers that don’t allow you to hold a package for pickup anymore. What the hell happened to that? I feel like it used to be when I had a package that needed a signature I could just request for it to be held at the parcel service center for me to pick it up later.

But the last two times I had a package with a signature required, it wouldn’t allow me to do that. The package was going to be returned to the sender for ridiculous reasons. One was an age restricted item which I can kind of get, but the other wasn’t. Both times I had to beg and plead with the delivery company to hold the parcel even though it was not something they were supposed to do.

And people wonder why Amazon gets so much business. They don’t make me take days off from work so I can hopefully receive a fucking package of the delivery person actually feels like ringing my doorbell.

Never again with packages requiring a signature for me. I don’t work from home and my workplace is not in a location that can receive packages.

I didn’t realize that I had turned it on on my prior phone. Welp, my phone absolutely died one day and would no longer power on. I was really sad about losing my photos and videos, but then when I got my new phone I was happy to find out that at some point I turned on photos cloud backups.

Yeah, I’m with you on that. Everyone on Lemmy loves password managers, but I don’t really like the idea of entrusting all of my passwords for everything with one singular program. I actually also dislike 2 factor authentication. One time my phone broke and my bank wanted to verify my identity to purchase a new phone. Except my phone was broken so I couldn’t… Yeah I really don’t want to run into that scenario again except worse.

I’ve actually gone old school with it and I keep most passwords physically written down in a notebook using my own cypher language/pictograms. If someone irl really wants to break into my home, find the notebook, and try to decode it, I’d be in bigger trouble to begin with. It’s very unlikely.

My mom’s dog goes nuts when she finds tissues coated in boogers in the trashcan or if she finds underwear that has been worn for a day. She acts like she’s at an all you can eat buffet.

Before my current job, any job I’ve had had an 8.5 hour shift with a half an hour unpaid lunch. But I managed to score a gig where I have an 8.0 hour shift with a half an hour paid lunch. It seems uncommon in the US, but I guess it must be common elsewhere.

I’ve literally never had this happen in my life. I also can’t imagine how it would even be possible unless the person working at the shop is physically spraying the cups with cologne.

I’m not sure if this is ADA compliant. It might be the reason why we don’t see these very often. I had one of these at work though.

It’s not more convenient 95% of the time if you don’t live in a place where you can just plug it in all the time. Until people are able to figure out how to get widespread adoption of EV charging stations in apartments and condos, EV adoption by the general public is significantly limited.

This is such a bizarre design. I wonder why they don’t just make a bit of a longer “leash” attaching the cap to the ring. Because then the cap wouldn’t detached but it also wouldn’t be annoyingly in the way like this.

Here in the US, I haven’t seen these bottles yet, but I wonder if we’ll be getting them at some point. :p

Isn’t a salad wrap no longer a salad? If it’s encased in breading then it’s a wrap/sandwich, not a salad. It’s like calling a vegetarian burrito a salad.

Yeah I am way too scatterbrained to pay all my bills manually lol.

How recent is this? Because if it was in 2024, it’s ridiculous to keep blaming COVID.

It’s all in the way you trim and neaten it imo. When people let their beards run wild, it tends to not look that great. But if you keep it trimmed neatly, even if it’s long, it can look pretty nice!

Have you been running your stopwatch for 451 hours???

Dude I struggle with this all the time! The symbols are way too similar to each other and I occasionally find myself turning off the alarm when I meant to snooze.

I felt bad for you in this post, but now you’re sounding kind of like an asshole. You can have technically good stats on paper but it doesn’t mean you are immune to doing something stupid. I also had really good stats in school, but I am of perfectly average intelligence. It doesn’t make me any better than anyone else and it doesn’t make me immune to stupidity. You did something stupid. I’m sorry, but it’s true and it happens to everyone. Accept it.

If someone is savvy enough to have done this, surely they would have changed the password as well? Worth a shot tho, I suppose!

Rather than prime adding value, it’s simply providing the regular service, while they intentionally give non-prime members a manufactured worse service to entice them to pay.

I mean, I suppose you could say something like that. But the problem is that nearly every other non-Amazon online retailer has ungodly slow shipping and you often have to pay an extra fee for shipping on top of it.

I know Amazon is a horrifyingly large mega corp, but there isn’t a decent alternative. They actually do provide a good service for the pricetag. (Unless we’re talking their digital services which I’ve never used and are trash.)

Maybe I’m just lucky because I don’t live in a rural area. So my packages actually come relatively quickly. Other retailers make me wait over a week and pay for the privilege to wait forever.

I’m assuming she had breast implants and she thought one of them ruptured. It happens and isn’t life threatening.

I’m sorry that it wasn’t the case though.
