I guess I’m confused. You think ~20 lbs is unmanageably heavy for a million dollars?

Technology@lemmy.world•Roblox tries to dismiss wrongful death lawsuit by arguing that a player gave up her right to sue when she was 8 years oldEnglish
0·10 days agoYeah, I remember that. They talked to the restaurant at Disney World and triple-checked because of her severe allergies. There probably felt like they were being too careful and paranoid. Obviously, the story is Disney’s reaction and the backlash to them trying to argue Disney+ streaming subscription agreement meant the husband forfeited his right to a jury trial for something else. I don’t know how much they got, but it’s still heartbreaking…

46·13 days ago“I’d like to reiterate how difficult it is to have granola infected with salmonella. It’s even more difficult than chili peppers, and no, it’s not ‘foreign producers’ that are the problem,” Chef Joe Gera wrote on X. “It’s quality control and standards not being enforced.”
They literally don’t care about us. These giant corporations and rich assholes have almost all of the money and power, but it’s never enough. They’ll relax regulations and standards to increase profits and if people die, oh well!

41·25 days agoPoor multi-trillion dollar company. 😢 They can’t make as much money as they want to because other giant corporations decided to screw over consumers and pre-sell their entire supply for data center profits! So sad…

Advice so bad, we both turned into different people.
Does the meme creator think an animated fictional show is “automotive history”?
A reasonable assumption to make, but you would be wrong.
According to Howard Carter, president of the board of trustees at the Water Environment Federation (WEF), a nonprofit established in 1928 that works to protect public health and the environment, this isn’t just a nightmare scenario—it’s a reality for these workers. Carter tells CR that workers can be on call any given night, and it’s not unusual to get calls at 2 a.m. because of pumps blocked by wipes. “We try to keep up with these things by engineering different products to help, but it’s just a very, very expensive endeavor,” Carter says. These costs, part of the NACWA’s estimate of $441 million a year in operating costs to deal with wipes in sewage systems, range from investing in new technologies to track the level of water in pipes and manholes due to blockages from wipes, to investing in new pumps that will actually cut up the wipes. “These are all extra capital costs associated with increased staff time to monitor and remediate,” Carter says.
Hell, here’s a link to a FAQ from a company that would benefit from more people using “flushable” wipes:

It would have cost you nothing to not post this.

Games@sh.itjust.works•What game did you hate even after sinking a lot of time into it?English
2·1 month agoI don’t think most people consider Zelda games to be metroidvanias, so we shouldn’t hold that against those two games.
While I haven’t played TotK, I did enjoy BotW, just less than other games in the series. I felt it was unique, had great atmosphere and music, was incredibly polished… but very shallow. The long, well-crafted dungeons were replaced with many mini-dungeons that only rewarded you with more stamina or more health. Every single time. I eventually stopped even checking out the shrines I found. Also, I understand why they implemented the weapon degradation mechanic, but it’s definitely not for me. And the missing story. All the cool events in the world have already happened. Which fits the atmosphere, but it’s less fun, and gives us less story-driven things to do…



I don’t understand. You had to generate a fake picture because you don’t jive with other people’s fame? Make it make sense…
