  • Not all shoes are so limited, you can buy shoes that have plenty of lifespan such as Brooks running shoes. I’ve put hundreds of miles on mine and they’re still in good shape. That being said with planned obsolescence and cheap manufacturing for fast turnover being prioritized, we end up with less reliable shoes.

  • yeah

  • I was about to add that they usually have to replace the sensors when they replace the tires, and the replacement cost isn’t typically close to the list price

  • They don’t care if those who can’t afford would be without. They want to squeeze every dime out of every student they can, it’s their business model.

  • I remember missing a certification test for a legitimate reason, calling to reschedule, spending hours on the phone with Pearson and being told there’s nothing to be done. They couldn’t refund, reschedule or be bothered with me even after I paid $150 for an exam and called soon after. Somehow the pinnacles of knowledge are corporations that care less about your knowledge and are much more concerned with emptying your wallets like a bully after lunch money.

  • Getting AI involved in patient care sounds like malpractice waiting to happen.

  • what does "Yee-Yee" mean? i see it on the back of vehicles on stickers on windows.

  • It’s definitely an Appalachian thing, even earlier than Turtle Man you could hear people hauling ass in their dilapidated overgrown F350s and shouting “yeeyee” from the driver’s seat.

    As for a definition, it’s like the mountain version of “yeehaw” or “let’s get this bread”

  • E-bikes are kicking ass and taking names

    Jump

  • Is there an e-bike megathread or recommendations in the community, or adjacent communities for that matter? I would love to find a good commuter bike

  • Is there some sort of binding agent that would work on a mix of several different plastics ground together?

  • Usually because the owners thought they could temporarily own an animal and then when they didn’t feel like being responsible for that animal they just release it into the world to survive. “They’re animals, they’ll thrive in the wild,” they say.

  • Hertz customers who had to pay a $500 deposit on a debit card just to be able to rent the car that might not be there after paying the rental fees.

  • selfh.st community survey

    Jump

  • It asks questions for both self-hosted on your own hardware as well as hosted in the cloud, I’m a little confused why everyone thinks all the questions must be applicable. It’s a survey about self-hosting. I happened to have cloud and local hosting answers, and it seemed like if I only used cloud there were suitable answers for that. Maybe I missed something?

  • Thank you, I agree. I have enough brain cells to type this comment and believe that I’m self-aware.

  • The stickers have been prone to theft, so they don’t like to replace them very often. They’re saving some time and money so you don’t have to.

  • How often do you think organized protest goes uninterrupted by force in mainland China?

  • What are the connotations of Joe Rogan?

    Jump

  • I feel like the latter conclusion isn’t entirely true. If this is other countries’ exposure to political discourse, you should be concerned about the generations to follow, if we even make it that long as a species.

  • Red Hat and Rocky Linux both sponsoring this is a mildly humorous juxtaposition
