This has been floating around the internet for some time.

The funny part is that heritage zoning is the reason the addition looks the way it does. The upper floor was inaccessible and stairs needed to be added. Local regulations state that any additions must be visually distinct from the original structure so this monstrosity was the result.

Look up Caldwell Tower in Scotland for more information.

Crumbling infrastructure vs train company negligence.

I could go either way on this one; or even both.

I always loved construction equipment as a kid. I had a full set of die-cast Cat construction machines and would play with them in a sandbox my dad built.

Three months ago I bought a Kubota U27-4 mini-excavator. Needless to say, my inner 8 year old is thrilled.

The director of my department just announced a new initiative starting this year for something similar.

Once a month, we now have a two hour meeting where we need to prep and present a five slide PowerPoint to our peers. The slides are focused on project status, work accomplishments, personal development, a life update, and mandatory feedback given to one of our peers in front of the group.

So not only am I forced to share details of my private life to a bunch of people that I hate in a fucking PowerPoint, I have to single someone out with one thing they’re doing well and one thing they can improve.

Figured a picture would be appropriate…

My partner and I both carry two phones - personal and work. Can’t wait to get kicked out of an AirBnB due to having too many phones on the premises.

In what world should anyone be criticized for not being early enough? I agree if you’re not early, you’re late.

But for fucks sake, five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes, whatever… dude sounds like an asshole.

All of the vehicles in the article were pre-delivery. As they were still owned by Tesla, it falls on the company to repair them.

I’m not justifying vandalism, but the impact to the buyer is a delayed delivery vs a monetary and PR impact to Tesla.

The Boca Chica test site in Texas is built immediately adjacent to a protected wildlife preserve. This is the site where SpaceX has been working on the Starship launch vehicle.

The second part about failing is extreme hyperbole. SpaceX is the most successful launch company in human history by any reasonable metric. I’d argue Musks distance from the company in recent years has helped.

It literally means ArmaLite Rifle after its original designer and manufacturer. At least verify your information prior to claiming it as fact.

I smile every time I read this story.

Apparently, Harris is fond of “motherfucker.”

This…. ^motherfucker… former president.

I saw one that required you to decline every single company that was purchasing marketing data from the site. It was like 300 companies long where you had to click the slider to turn them each off individually.

Sometimes, it’s difficult to discern which setting of the slider is on or off. They use nonstandard colors or don’t explain in text which setting signifies each option.

Nowhere in the article does it state Apple is claiming this is “innovation.” In fact, it discusses the EU regulations driving the change and the fact that Apple will roll out globally instead of using a different version of iOS in the EU.

Apple “Fanboys” aren’t as rabid as the internet likes to portray them and Android users aren’t morally superior. It’s a phone. Get over it.

It’s called “The Handmaids Tale”.

They made it in book and TV show form. Minus the birth problems which kick off the societal change in that story, we’re quickly headed for it.

Open source CAD software is basically useless. As someone who has tried every few years to use open source alternatives for personal projects, I always end up paying for an AutoCAD or Fusion 360 license.

My professional background has always been higher end software like Siemens NX, Solidworks, Inventor, & AutoCAD.

LibreCAD is the closest I ever got to something that seemed useful for 2D. I hate FreeCAD, QCAD, BRL-CAD, etc. Many open source projects waste so much time to do simple tasks and buck standard methodologies for their own spin on how they think you should design.

qt3.14 = qt (pi) = cutiepie

OP is a nerd, not a pedophile. At least not based on this.

If the platform is still around in ten years, I’ll still call it Twitter out of spite.

ISO 8601 for life.

Lemmy is basically the dark web to your average instagram user.
