  • Should get a discount or something

  • Then after that the employee can slowly scan my items and pack them with cold stuff across all bags and fragile stuff under heavy stuff.

    The key to getting in and out quick is to have them scan it and you bag it. Even if they start bagging it for you, "I got the bags" places things in bags.

    Also Aldi, Aldi gets you in and out and they know how to pack a cart so things don't get squished. I believe it's because they actually pay their people and train them to get the line moving.

    Edit: Another time-save: you can pay for your groceries by card before they are finished ringing them up.

  • If you are on newly released hardware and the other guy's suggestions don't work, Fedora might also work for you. As it has a faster software release cadence and the bug fix might be living in one of those newer versions.

  • Denmark zoo asks public to donate unwanted small pets or horses to feed captive predators

    Jump

  • The zoo said it accepts donated rabbits, guinea pigs and chickens on weekdays between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m., but no more than four at a time. It also accepts horses for feeding its animals, which it says on its website are euthanized by a zookeeper and a veterinarian.

    Gotta eat. Hell, humans eat half those animals too.

  • Microsoft is killing off Windows 11 SE, its Chrome OS competitor

    Jump

  • From what I can tell, Windows SE is the education version of Windows S-mode, which always sucked. Had a few run-ins with it on family computers and it was always a giant pain in the ass just to get basic programs running.

  • I've been meaning to get rid of Google Authenticator. Think I'm gunna go do that today. :)

  • Then they will ask why nobody wants to use their payment cards

    Jump

  • Which digital payment doesn't have transaction fees?

    Credit cards (vendor side), debit cards (vendor side), and crypto (consumer side) all have transaction fees. Paypal, venmo, etc all make their money from (vendor side) transaction fees as well. Is there a different type of digital payment you are using that doesn't have transaction fees?

  • Then they will ask why nobody wants to use their payment cards

    Jump

  • Every digital payment has transaction fees, yes.

    Credit card transaction fees for vendors are generally 1-3%, for example.

  • Clearly, you’re not from this planet...we’re going through a shitty period right now

    looks at crime stats / looks at quantity and scale of wars / looks at quality of sanitation

    Naw, we have it pretty damn good compared compared to basically all of history.

    Certainly doesn't mean we shouldn't strive to continue to improve.

  • Pay same in cash or credit.

    Depends on the vendor. There are a bunch of places around me that offer cash discounts, which I make solid use of. Lets them lower prices for you as you aren't forcing a credit card transaction fee onto them.

  • Things are often measured in mBTC or µBTC for this exact reason.

    Just as you don't measure the length of an ant in meters, you measure it in millimeters.

  • I never understood why people keep falling for the 'dehumidifer will solve world water shortages' thing over and over. It's an old idea and there is damn good reason you don't see this 'obvious' solution deployed everywhere. (Check out the WaterSeer video if you would like to know more)

  • Google failed to warn 10 million of Turkey earthquake severity

    Jump

  • Yeah, I also read it the opposite way as the author wrote it: 469 people were warned by Google after their government failed to warn them.

    It's not Google's job to track and warn people about earthquakes, their job is to make sure their alert system accepts/distributes government safety warnings, which to my knowledge works just fine.

  • Fiscally responsible people do it because of the cash back/perks and 0% interest.

    Fiscally irresponsible people do it because 'free money' (ignoring the 28% annual interest).

    Credit cards also offer better consumer protections than debit cards. Ex: chargebacks.

  • A lot of platforms literally don’t support debit cards.

    You can get a Visa debit card from your bank; everyone takes Visa.

    Jump

  • A credit card, in the US, has a transaction fee for the vendor, 1-3% of the purchase price, sometimes with a flat few cents fee on top.

    The consumer has no transaction fee, but does pay interest (around 28% annually) if they don't pay off the full balance every month (if they do pay it in full at the end of the month, there is no interest charge). Usually there will be a 1-2% cash back for the consumer as well.

    Some credit cards also have an annual fee for the consumer. These generally have higher cash back rewards and higher vendor transaction fees than those that don't.
