Make sure you get one of the professional ones. In fsct when i got the first one, i went to a beauty supply store that caters to hairstylists and barbers, as opposed to going to Walmart. Not sure if it is/was bullshit, but I had heard that Walmart gets lower quality units (not unlike the claims that the TVs sold on Black Friday are poorer quality compared to regular ones). Both of mine were made in US.
Just a heads up, you can buy new blades for fairly cheap. On my old unit I replaced the blades maybe 10 years into owning it. I think because of how the blades are shaped, sharpening them might not really be possible. But I could be wrong.
The left might be even worse than the far right. Everyone knows that Fox is shit, but the left likes to pretend they have higher values or doesn't push propaganda, but they use the same techniques as the Infowars or NewsMax of the world.
The difficult part for you to gasp is that you don't pull a fucken knife on a cop. Done. Period. You seem stupid, but even you aren't dumb enough to do that. This guy? He fucked around and found out. Nothing of value was lost that day.
Not this time!
Here's another idea: Don't pull a knife out on a cop. Not too complicated. Not particularly difficult to follow. In fact, for sane, innocent people, it only makes sense.
Normal, innocent people are quick to pull it out on a cop. Yeah. Of course. Absolutely. And that doesn't even factor in his erratic driving and going down a wrong way. Nothing of value was lost that day.
With all the bleeding-hearts on Lemmy who think we should be coddling criminals, I'm not shocked he was released after serving just 1/4 of his sentence. Clearly he was rehabilitated!1!!! Oh wait. No he wasn't.
Fuck Israel
Love how people are confusing salaries or yearly income to net worth.
Net worth is the total accumulated value of all the stuff you own (value of assets minus the liabilities) - houses, cars, investments, etc. That is massively different than what you are getting paid each year which is what a lot of people here are using as a metric.
It isn't out of the question for someone to make "only" $100 or 200k/year and be considered a "millionaire" by most people's definition. They might be older and have paid off their house. That house might be worth $500k and all the other stuff they own is a few hundred thousand more. Plus maybe $100k in some investment portfolio. Thus making them technically a millionaire. There are a lot more millionaires out there than people realize, including some people here or their parents or maybe grand parents.
That's not to take away from the argument that billionaires have too much money, but at least phrase the movement correctly. Stop equating someone making $50k/year with someone's who's assets are worth $1B. That's comparing apples to oranges and not just by the sheer difference in the numbers either.
Nothing of value was lost that day. Don't pull knives out on cops. This isn't a particularly difficult concept to understand.
Innocent people pull out knifes on cops. Totally.
Free-pass after free-pass for Republicans. Impossibly-high standards for Democrats.
If you pull out a deadly weapon on a cop, don't expect to ever make it home. That's reality. Trying to act like pulling out a knife is normal behavior and then defending this guy is rather ridiculous.
Then stop the fucken car and maybe, just maybe, don't pull out a fucken knife on an officer. But yeah, let's pretend this guy was some innocent person. The news media will show pictures of him in his sunday best when he was 10 and hadn't become a total become a piece of shit yet. His grandma will be on the news crying about "my baby!". Yawn. We've all seen this shit before and the excuses run thin.
Charges dropped against Philadelphia officer
Maybe you missed that part. I mean it was the very first few words of the headline, but clearly you didn't comprehend it.
Are there any reasonably-priced cool cars anymore? If your current car died tomorrow, what would you buy?
I'm starting to get the new car itch, and I'm looking around there is just about nothing out there that interests me that is at a price I'd be willing to pay.
I've never really been in this situation before. I've always loved to look at what new cars are out and even think about what I'd buy if something happened to my daily driver, but man is the selection out there bleak as hell. New or slightly used. Here is my short list, but even the cars on the list all have at least one (and most have 2 or 3) thing I've not crazy about.
New Mustang. Never been a Mustang-guy before but I saw the new one in person and I liked it more than I thought I would.
New or slightly used Camaro. Like the Mustang, it's more impractical that I really want, but still tempted.
WRX. I still haven't forgiven Subaru for phoning-it-in with this redesign. I'm actually hoping a mid-cycle refresh solves this issue.
Genesis G70. I really want to like this car.
Kia Stinger. The lack of a manual
Channel 4's chief exec blames social media and the pandemic for Gen Z’s deficiency in essential workplace diplomacy.
Important quotes from the article:
Gen Z workers are already getting flak from businesses for lacking the basic skills needed to navigate the working world
youngest generation to enter the workforce doesn't have the skills to debate, disagree, or work alongside people with different opinions.
Android News App that isnt hot garbage?
Using the Samsung News app on my tablet now and it's one endless clickbait article after another. Plus they inject ads onto the page too.
I know it might not be the apps fault if the source of the news is shit, but there doesn't seem to be a great way of culling all the terrible sources. I can remove them individually but wondering if there is a better option. Something that takes advantage of the larger screen that a tablet has over a phone would be especially welcome.
Not sure who needs to hear this, but if you want to eliminate the influence of religion, you need to give people an alternative to their local church.
We can attack religion all day long and not get anywhere with the general public. Here's why: Your local church is entrenched in everyone's community. And it can be a church or mosque or temple. It doesn't matter. It is the center of the community in a whole hell of a lot of places.
The older I get the more I see this from family, friends and neighbors. None of them are hardcore religious fanatics, but these "regular" people are the ones who give religious institutions their power. Yeah, the really hard core religious people are the ones who get the headlines, but average parishioners who give their weekly donation and go to church a couple of times a month are the ones who fill the coffers of the various churches around the country and around the world.
Why do these people go? Again, most average people aren't hard core religious fanatics. They aren't trying to follow every last word of the Bible. But they also aren't trying to push those ideas on peoples throat either
have uou ever had a good experience with a tow truck driver?
I'm just curious what people's experiences have been. I know I have my opinions based on my experiences. Curious to hear from others.
Any suggestions on reviving an old ASUS laptop that shows zero signs of life.
Plug it in, no lights. Hit the power button, nothing. Hold it down (saw some suggestion to hold it down for like 40 seconds), still nothing. I haven't tried opening it up yet. I don't even care if the battery is toast, I'm fine with it being tied to a wall adapter.
It's probably about 8 years old, so obviously it is slow by modern standards, but at the time it was fairly high-end, so it might serve my purposes as a secondary machine.
Are there really so few car enthusiasts on this site? This sub seems to have such little traffic. What gives?
Coming from Reddit, there were multiple car-related subs and they all saw some fairly heavy traffic with lots of posts and comments. Heck, even some of the model-specific ones seem to get more interaction than this sub does. What's the deal?
