Isn’t it about control? An asteroid coming down is random as in no one caused it. What we’re doing is different: it’s a conscious choice and course of action (collectively). We didn’t really know in the beginning but we’ve knows for decades

Wonder why you’re greyed out. It’s not something we want to hear but it’s happening regardless.

Well no, we’re special and the universe exists for our pleasure.

Meh, so what. If you use it for selling then yeah it sucks but if it’s for buying only, the feedback doesn’t matter so I personally would rather get my money back and open yet another account. But I understand it can be a problem for some.

I don’t know if I’d want to anger an angry thug, who knows where I live, and who already almost beat me up when I waited for him the last time around.

When this happens too many times though you’re flagged as a criminal and amazon will never ever refund anything ever again. Ask me how I know, I lost over 400 EUR this way through no fault of my own and got stuck in an identical and irrelev

In CH the first 62.- is free and after that you pay VAT. Which also means that for 5.- VAT they add a racket fee of 20—30.- on top for their efforts.

Yes this is something that infuriated me too. Especially that the “paper pushing fee” is often more than the actual VAT due, and I live 5 min away from the federal customs office. But I checked all I could and in Switzerland you’re not allo

I think this is a visa/MasterCard rule as in if any of these steps fail it’s a slam dunk chargeback.

What bothers me is that it’s a commercial product that is pushed very hard and where dentists have a financial incentive in you getting the treatment they’re recommending. It might work, but the conflict of interest is there and you’ll neve

I feel like dentistry in particular is one of the least rigorous of medical sciences. From my point of view (patient), I feels like dentists base their treatment recommendations on how much kickback they’re getting from medical corporations

I’ve tried to look for the COBOL and other legacy languages jobs where there is a shortage for. I came short. And the few I found didn’t pay like there was any kind of shortage. There was a lot of willing offshore sweatshops offering their

I don’t know your circumstances so don’t take this personally as these are some general ideas: - work 4 days a week only - save 30–50% of your income and retire after 15 years - cook your own meals to eat healthier and cheaper (bring lunch

> HP wanted some ridiculous thousands of $$ for like 16MiB of RAM. After some inspection it was discovered that the RAM is nothing more than 72pin SIMMs. Nothing’s changed on that front.

In the same vein, a major bottled water (plastic bottles) company (Volvic) draining local water sources is a B-Corp where I live… So is Nespresso.

This is how we won our war on fruit flies: - repot all plants after rinsing all soil from them - use leca balls instead of soil and water the plants with a water + fertilizer solution (this is what they do for office plants and why they hav

You can also exercise with an ebike. I push just as hard as on my acoustic bike when I feel like it instead of all the time. It’s 30C outside? I don’t have to arrive all sweaty with an ebike. I have a meeting or go into work? Same. But wh

That guarantees yet another low salary though. Never tell how much you’re paid because your first negotiating mistake will carry on throughout your career. Instead state how much you want without basing it on your current comp. Hopefully yo

Can I ask about the unusual punctuation? I’ve never seen a country where you put a space before the comma or where you space around parens like that. I’m only aware of the French adding a space before ! and ?

> They might! There is certainly some evidence of that, but the evidence is not remotely clear cut. This is not as simple as the linkage between cigarette smoking and lung cancer, for instance. Wasn’t that exactly big tobacco’s and then
