As someone who’s mexican I encounter that more than one would think since I have 2 last names and it gets weird sometimes since I also have a middle name.

Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.comto A Boring Dystopia@lemmy.world•San Francisco Startup Sees Big Demand for Sleeping Pods That Cost $700 a Month2·8 months agoIt also depends on what you like to do for fun. It’s cheaper for me to go to Universal every weekend with my pass than to fly to Universal every weekend.
All the hate LA gets is warranted but I can also just do whatever I want whenever I want without much planning and I don’t make that much money, yet at least. Lots of opportunities here, some of which have gotten me to where I am and I only have a HS degree making a smidge less than someone with a bachelor’s.
That screams cya. Everything else implies they see you. I received an email by them once that at the end had the sleeping with the fishes capiche line. Literally with no context/reason beyond making it sound like a threat.

My gym required me to go the location I signed up and cancel in person lul. I just told them I don’t live in the country anymore and I’m calling from abroad, they can either cancel or get charge backed. They canceled quick.

I have a bunch of camping electronics. Couple flashlights/magnet lights, couple battery packs, portable rechargeable air pump. I’m thinking of getting one of those big Boi anker power bricks for when I travel.
Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Technology@lemmy.world•Amazon cloud boss says employees unhappy with 5-day office mandate can leaveEnglish112·9 months agoYou say that but that’s literally how we got all the ‘good’ stuff we enjoy as employees now, in the US at least. Guys wbacj then literally went to war against the bosses and physically forced them to the metaphorical table.
Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•I have been out of the loop for over a decade, where do I begin?English2·9 months agoI’m of a similar opinion but really it depends on the user’s wants.
I personally don’t care for an easy app like interface. My set up is literally just wireless keyboard and mouse in the living room and a pc hooked up to my TV. I just stream stuff from ‘free’ sites online. It’s not much effort really. I’m not usually interested in checking out movies and shows the moment they release, I can wait a couple weeks or months for them to pop up in good quality on those sites.
Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Technology@lemmy.world•Switzerland authorizes removable PV plant on railway trackEnglish1·9 months agoWhat sort of prices were they charging?
Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Technology@lemmy.world•Switzerland authorizes removable PV plant on railway trackEnglish5·9 months agoYou would need to screw the plywood into the roof so it doesn’t shift around and damage stuff during the whole process, nobody is gonna wanna do that. Boom lifts are ocassionally used for extremely tall properties but they add to the price. You’re forgetting the biggest issue though, liability. My company stopped doing fumigations cause of the liability involved. Getting the plywood on the roof is gonna take a lot of effort and more than just a boom lift, you’re gonna need huge slabs of it to properly cover panels, I don’t know if you’ve seen them but they’re not small. They usually cover significant portions of the roof.
At that point it would just be cheaper to pay a company to remove them and reinstall vs all that other effort.
If there was a better way the companies would do it to make money. There just isn’t unless the owner is willing to shell out and many aren’t, even the rich ones and we work with A LOT of rich people. They own million dollar homes and have multiple homes all over the area.
Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Technology@lemmy.world•Switzerland authorizes removable PV plant on railway trackEnglish13·9 months agoYou drop heavy ass tarps on the roof and roll them to tent a house, I’m taking couple hundred pound tarps. The workers need to be able to walk on the roof to set them up, the tarps can and have damaged panels so companies in the area don’t fumigate with them on anymore.
I work closely with a fumigation company and that’s what they’ve told us.
Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Technology@lemmy.world•Switzerland authorizes removable PV plant on railway trackEnglish10·9 months agoMight be cause they make roof redos or fumigation even more expensive. I had a customer say they were paying 3k to get their panels removed so they could pay another 3k to fumigate the house. Almost doubled the price.
Don’t get me wrong, I agree that we should require panels in new builds somehow but I don’t know what the best option is.
Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Crazy Fucking Videos@lemmy.world•Bystander stops a runaway truck after the driver had an epileptic seizure.English4·9 months agoYea it’s sorta dumb in hindsight but In a panic I get it. A smaller sedan in neutral can be pushed by hand so he probably panicked and tried the same lul.
Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Crazy Fucking Videos@lemmy.world•Bystander stops a runaway truck after the driver had an epileptic seizure.English9·9 months agoIt depends. My fiancee has it and it’s been under control for years and she takes medication daily for it. Iirc in our state if you haven’t had a seasure in 2 years you can get your drivers license.
The version she has isn’t the movie kind either, she’s fully conscious and relatively in control while it happens. She would have time to break and chuck it in park before it gets to the point her body doesn’t cooperate and even then she can still speak and talk people through helping her, assuming she’s not with me or family who knows what to do. She carries a special suppository gel that’ll stop it. Imagine a smaller prefilled turkey baster, or bigger lube injector.

Fuggin the sketchier pirate movie streaming sites have movies that just have gambling site watermarks all throughout the movie. It’s crazy.
Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•YouTube diluting my recommended videos feed with AI-generated “music” that pretends to be made by an actual artistEnglish12·10 months agoWell shit. Fair enough, I was misguided.
Something that could happen in Mexico for a name is Juan Maria as a first, Guillermo David as a middle and Gonzales De Mercado as a last name. Technically 7 words and totally a thing but not common at all, anymore at least.
