I’m still going to pop an aspirin the next time I got a headache even though I do have an ebike too.

Toisinsanoen ikä pitää tarkistaa kaikilta ja varmistetaan nyt henkilöllisyys siinä samalla sitten. Niin ja kielletään VPN:t ja E2E. Jos vastustat, niin “ai et välitä lasten turvallisuudesta vai?!”

Toupee fallacy to be more exact.

Bats being blind is a common misconception. They actually are believed to have a quite good eyesight.

Me neither. I asked an LLM to translate this and it said:

Am I imagining this feeling that Lemmy is just recycling Reddit’s cultural memes in a way that makes them seem less genuine?

If it’s a white wall, the easiest fix is to just grab some white-drying filler, fill the holes, and leave it at that. It’ll be nearly invisible - your eye won’t catch it the way it does a dark hole.

The filler shrinks as it dries, so you’ll need to layer it over a few days until it sits flat when dry. Done right - and without overdoing it - you won’t even need to sand.

For non-white walls, same deal - just paint over it afterward. Note that matching the existing color perfectly is nearly impossible. For good results, you usually need to paint the entire wall.

10/10 looks and personality and rich parents?

I’ll take her if you don’t.

Depends on how they’re dumb. Your example is just amusing and pretty innocent - that doesn’t bother me at all. What would bug me is if it’s something that’s clearly screwing up their life. Like if they can’t hold down a job or get through basic everyday tasks without constantly fucking it up.

For me, intelligence isn’t about what you know - it’s about how you think. Can she grasp that Vietnam is an actual country once you explain it to her? If yes, then she’s not dumb - she’s just ignorant or uneducated. I can live with that. Especially with a 10/10 personality.

Interactions with customers was what I worried about most when starting my business, but honestly, they’re the ones reviving my faith in humanity. Too much time online makes you think average people are just assholes, but they’re the opposite.

I’ve met so many awesome people through this job. People in general are nice, polite, and considerate - it’s extremely rare that I run into someone I don’t like. I even made a friend out of this one Indian dude who doesn’t even speak my language.

Being offered food or coffee is pretty common. Some hand me free tools they no longer need. I’ve gotten a gift basket and even a hand-made Christmas card. It’s such a stark contrast to the thankless job I did for a decade before going self-employed.

Edit: With elderly couples especially, it amuses me how it has often felt like visiting grand-parents.

I honestly don’t know. There are a few spots like this throughout the apartment, and they’ve clearly been patched before - now those patches are failing. I don’t like to “paint over rust” but would rather figure out the source of the problem, but I can’t explain this other than by poor surface prep, painting over wet plaster, or low-quality products. None of that, however, explains why they were patched in the first place.

Ja nimenomaan Myllykivi Ruispalat eikä mitään Vaasan pullaa.

More of a handyman really though probably third of my jobs are related to plastering and painting.

Just because I don’t want to see certain news doesn’t mean I want to block all news communities. The only way to achieve this is with keyword-based content filtering.

Sometimes the stallion gets kicked in the head, shits himself and dies.

I’m sure you can find the video if you’re interested.

Anything that involves computers or sitting down all day. No thanks.

The way I think about this to myself is “if everyone did this, would it make world a better place?” If the answer is yes then it’s worth doing no matter how small thing it is. Yes, it might not make a difference but at least you did your part and didn’t contribute to making things worse.

The protective outer sleeve is clamped down here as well but you can still pull out the inner pipe. It’s not alway the easiest job but it can be done.

The pipe carrying water sits inside a larger protective sleeve. If it ever leaks, the water runs into that sleeve and drips out the ends onto the floor instead of soaking into the walls or structures.

You can then disconnect both ends, pull the damaged pipe out, and slide a new one in. No joints hidden behind the walls, and leaks in the middle of the pipe are super rare - you’d basically have to drill into it. The manifold above ceiling has a an access panel.

It’s always the brand new accounts asking the strangest questions.

The good thing about having a drain in the floor is that in the extremely rare event that your toilet overflows you can just hose down the entire room.
