Damn that’s a great idea! Cheers!

Yeah. I go to the post office semi-regularly and I see people complain about this problem; the employees just roll their eyes and say to mark the mail.

Not going to say I haven’t done that but I’d rather stop receiving it at all.

What do you do after doing this for 4+ years for the same person and bank, and you’ve gone as far as showing up in person at the bank’s local branch?

I’ve been doing this for 4+ years for the same person and bank. I even showed up in person to the local branch and spoke to a manager. I’m having the same problem as OP; it never ends.

What’s more: no one (landlord, neighbors) knows who this person is. They’ve even got a business registered at my apartment.

I either feed it the list of ingredients or it finds them itself if it’s a popular item. It’s good at guessing the proportions of the ingredients if you’ve got the label.

If money weren’t an issue I’d go back to working in fast food or a warehouse. I miss busting ass and being able to clock out at the end of the day.

I always say “web application developer” because I don’t want to be considered a “web designer” (which I consider to mean designing static websites for businesses like restaurants).

I can’t be too specific without giving away my location, but I’ve recreated a sauce that was sold by a vegan restaurant I used to go to that sold out to a meat-based chain (and no longer makes the sauce).

The second recipe was the seasoning used by a restaurant from my home state. In this case the AI was rather stupid: its first stab completely sucked and when I told it it said something along the lines of “well employees say it has these [totally different] ingredients” then got it right.

I’ve used LLMs to reverse engineer some recipes.

It isn’t here either. That’s over the course of ~2 years but I’m not wealthy by any means either. I’m lucky to not rely on it for work, so I can wait and take my time repairing it when needed.

Well the good news is that after I dumped a ton of money into it, it’s running smooth and still looks pretty new. It’s a Typ 8P A3 hatchback which are kind of rare here in the US.

The impression I got from the car history was that owner #2 drove it pretty hard and never maintained it. I’m dreaded owner #3.

Oh, that’s pretty sick.

I don’t think it’s what you’re looking for but what your post reminds me of is ReactOS, though that’s more of a rewrite of actual Windows than a Linux distro.

I bought a 10 year Audi for $5,000 (USD) but then spent something like $10-15,000 in repairs because I’m an idiot.

Can we all just move on from Reddit? I feel like the constant bitterness toward it only brings a negative attitude to Lemmy.

Personally, I have Reddit completely blocked on my network and the only way to “access” it is to redirect to a Redlib instance. I don’t really care to hear about it anymore.

Quitting nicotine. I wanted to quit so that I could get in shape without almost dying, but after two months of rigorous exercise and healthy eating I just feel depressed, incredibly bored (the dopamine from exercise was nice at first but doesn’t really help now) and I’m now 10 lbs heavier than I was to begin with.

I’ve never gotten this to work with iOS devices for several years now. Yes, I’ve made sure that background app refresh is permitted, location services are on, etc.

It’s faster? For me it’s a lot faster to hit the share sheet and send a URL than it is to screw around with a screenshot (which is also larger and takes longer to send when using a slow VPN).

As a web developer it’s when people want me to code ridiculous things because they don’t know how to use files, their OS or their web browser.

Recently someone complained to me that they’d like a dropdown to be sorted a very specific way (rather than alphabetical) because it’s “too hard” to scroll through the undesired options. They don’t realize that by doing that you would no longer be able to correctly tab into the field then type the first few letters of the desired option.

Or another user who reported that emailing documents wasn’t working because he could no longer email them to himself through the website. He could’ve simply downloaded the document using another link (right next to the email sending link) but refused to do so because he doesn’t know how to handle the file after downloading.
