My mom got roped into buying a Wyndham timeshare on a trip and procrastinated herself out of the grace period. Is there anything she can do to get out of it now?
Arctic Ice harvests ice from the fjords of Greenland, and then ships them to the United Arab Emirates to sell to exclusive bars. Using glacial ice in drinks is a common practice in Greenland, and, over the years, several entrepreneurs have unsuccessfully attempted to export it....
Profitable tech companies have to maintain their existing businesses, but development of new businesses is likely to stay low and unprofitable businesses are still scrambling to hit profitability before bankruptcy.
It depends on the area. Both Texas and New Jersey have very high property taxes, so it wouldn’t be that surprising. Or it could be expected insurance costs like in Florida, which could be very high.
Both Seasons 2 and 3 were spoiled for me and everything the spoilers described made me not want to watch the show. This is in contrast to spoilers due SNW or Lower Decks that made the shows sound far more interesting.
But I feel like the damning view is setting the TNG crew on the bridge and having it feel really off. It wasn’t even like when Scotty drank on the holodeck version of the original Enterprise. The crew looked off on the old bridge in a way that felt strange. Yeah, everyone is back, but it really feels off.
A few years ago, I had to tell someone to convert some pictures since they took them in .heic and being able to see them wasn’t standard. Their response was to manually change the file extension on each of hundreds of files from .heic to .jpeg.
I would put the #2 panel likely around the 1910’s, when Ford’s five dollar day started pushing up wages across factory workers in the area. It wasn’t perfect, but it did bring a lot of people out of poverty.
I’m laid up with a severely broken ankle and leg, and will be laid up for God knows how long. I wanna read webcomics, but I feel like I’m running out of good ones on Webtoon. Anyone have any recommendations or sites to look at?
Moderating is hard and requires a set of skills to run moderation cheaply. You’re probably going to have a group of known mods on Lemmy doing the same, just because mods with these skills will be sought after.
A bigger issue is that Lemmy seems to be continuing Reddit’s practice of mod rank by time only. The implementation of a guild model would be better for mod governance, as it allows for better discussions of mod policy and allow greater input from the invested community.
Of course, trigger happy bans are still going to happen as people troll and worse.
Brought to you by my discovery that some people think that “the customer is always right” isn’t the slogan of a long-dead department store, but rather it’s an actual call the cops law.
With all these new bot instances popping up, have you already seen these accounts actually raiding stuff? And can/do we defederate from those instances?

Lemmy, what are your "missed flight" stories?
I just missed mine. Feeling pretty stupid right now. Hopefully your stories will cheer me up.
People from the "hotter" regions, how do you deal with the heat?
I am from Eastern Europe and this is the hottest summer on my memory. For at least 3 consecutive years the heat is breaking all records....

should we be worried about powers-moderators/users?
Power mods are one of the main problems with reddit. The same thing is already happening with Lemmy....
People who work in food service or customer service: What’s the dumbest thing a customer ever insisted was “the law” or “illegal”?
