    Is anybody else worried about the lack of diverse opinion here?

  • Say anything against the grain and you're banned from the instance. A problem with individuals having complete control of their instances, and there's really no way to do it otherwise. Obviously that's not all instances, but a lot of people who set one up also have their own personal narratives they want to push.

  • Yep...

  • Retailer denies memory replacement due to 4x increase in DDR5 pricing, says price increase would equate to an 'upgrade' for the customer — Australian retailer refuses to replace faulty Corsair kit

    Jump

  • The article says this:

    "Naturally, he refused the offer and brought up Australian consumer law, which is quite similar to the European one for these matters. In a simplified form, retailers are responsible for warranty claims and must replace or refund the defective item; then they take the issue to the manufacturer. When confronted by Goran, Umart went to the trouble of quoting the Australian Consumer Law but made a seemingly byzantine and twisted interpretation of it, reiterating that a refund at the original price was the proper remedy."

    Now it totally sucks, but there isn't the faintest blip of a bastardization or a twisting to the warranty policy refunding the amount he paid for the RAM. It says in plain text that they have to issue a refund or a replacement. It does not say the customer gets to choose whichever they want, and a refund most definitely doesn't mean you get more back than what you paid for it.

    Now what umart did next is definitely a shit move that they should be on the hook for. Keeping the ram and sending it off themselves without first checking with the customer. Umart should pay for that fuck up.

  • Fire department turns down $250,000 Google donation amid data center fight

    Jump

  • Absolutely this. I do it on a small scale already. Occasionally I'll order one of those "highly rated" things on Amazon and it's a total piece of shit, or comes with a card inside and it says something like "leave us a 5 star review and we'll send you a 2nd battery for free" or some shit like that.

    I'll write a review and out them for leaving the bribery card inside, or I'll rate a shit product a 1 star review, and sometimes the company will offer me a refund and tell me I can keep the product if I take the review down.

    I'll email them back agreeing to take the review down after I've been refunded the money. After I get the money I'll update the review to provide the information about trying to bribe me to remove my review.

    Once, a company tried TWICE to get me to remove my review. The dumb fucks sent me a 2nd $40 Amazon gift card. Lol

    Also, one extra note: unfortunately $250,000 doesn't even go that far. I'm not sure if this volunteer department buys most of their trucks 2nd hand or not, but for new trucks prices have drummed up so high that a Pumper (type of firetruck without the big ladder on top, that you would typically picture in you mind if you were to think of a firetruck) costs $1,000,000 or more. A ladder truck can run $2,000,000. This volunteer department has 10 trucks already. I'd guess something like one ladder truck, two or three pumpers, a couple brush truck, and two or three tanker trucks for hauling lots of water around.

  • Trump Dismisses GOP-Backed Housing Bill "‘Nobody Gives a Fuck About Housing!’"

    Jump

  • Depends on the local building codes a lot of times. My house is almost 20 years old and is still in pretty good condition. As long as the foundation stays good and you keep the roof from leaking there isn't too much that will make a house not worth repairing.

  • Trump Dismisses GOP-Backed Housing Bill "‘Nobody Gives a Fuck About Housing!’"

    Jump

  • It's half a shit bill, anyhow. It limits very large institutions from owning "normal homes", but opens up and loosens restrictions on manufactured homes. So they can still knock out a lot of owned houses. They'll just be the shittier kind that won't last as long before they go bad. Housing will be replaced by ones that last 30 years instead of ones that can last 75 years.

  • At my local garden store. Never have I wanted so badly to drop $400 on a set of garden statues. (I did not)

    Jump

  • I got a lil stone painted statue of a T-Rex 🦖 ripping apart some garden gnomes. It's my favorite and I love it.

    Just tried finding a picture to link, but I can't see the one that I have. Mine looks a bit cooler than the ones I was seeing.

  • Sure, but use Google maps and have a look at "i-435"

  • Cargo ship catches fire in Strait of Hormuz after three vessels hit by 'unknown projectiles'

    Jump

  • Yep. That was like the only thing I heard. Just him, who deleted it shortly after when it was debunked. Then he's also currently getting bitched at for trying to manipulate oil prices over it. That's it, out of the massive storm of news talking about how it's been shut down and oil prices will climb. Even from Trump's on maga tards and bought news agencies.

  • More Than Half of Americans Read Below 6th-Grade Level - New York Almanack

    Jump

  • It's amazing that so many people read so much online and text so much now, but the reading levels have dumped so much. Like, everyone reads more crap now than when I was growing up, but I read at a 5th grade level by the time I was in 1st grade. I know our education sucks more, but I still figured people got enough practice in at simply reading.

  • I don't care if they exist, but you'd have to make it an 18 an over type of deal. I don't really care how adults choose to blow their money, gambling included. You want to verify you're over 18 so you can get loot boxes, you do you.

  • There really isn't any "strait is open" propaganda coming from the US that I've seen. Everyone here knows it's down and out.

  • System76 tries to talk Colorado down over OS age checks

  • Fucking raise hell and cause chaos. Age checks are bullshit. All while our government is filled with corruption and pedophiles. Maybe stop listening to such an immoral entity.

  • I'd like to ask everyone, which movie have you rewatched more than three times?

    Jump

  • Particularly if you're old enough to remember the 80's, "Hot Tub Time Machine" is the greatest comedy of the past 30 years.

  • Uber is letting women avoid male drivers and riders in the US

    Jump

  • I think women drivers only wanting to pick up women is fine if thats what they want to do. That won't negatively effect everyone else who is working. It only negatively effects your own potential at making your money.

    But riders being able to select women drivers really takes a hard monetary hit against male drivers for the sake of being sexist.
