Gettin real goddamn tired of dogs
  • This just happened to us today! We took the dog to some trails nearby. On the way home wife wants me to go by Target for a few things. We get there and she asks if we should take him in with us. I’m like “Hell no. I already think Home Depot is a no go even though it’s a common site there, but I draw the line at a place like Target.” And don’t even get me started on the rudeness of owners who don’t carry waste disposal bags any time they have their dog.

  • What's a situation you were involved in where "the good guys" won?
  • The crooked board of directors of our company hired a narcissist and small time corporate raider to become the CEO of our company. He did millions of dollars of damage to our company in three short years, but we finally ousted him and good people are back in charge.

    Inherited a locked ipad
  • Great advice. But my sister guessed it. I’d already tried 0000, but it was much more difficult—1234!

    Now, what can one use an old outdated iPad for? This thing has OS 9 on it and says it’s up to date. My iPad is using version 16.6!

  • What Lemmy client are you using on iPad?
  • I was wondering the same thing. I am testing a bunch of the apps—Memmy, Voyager, liftoff, thunder, and Bean. I’m not liking Thunder because the images in the feed are long horizontal bars that don’t show enough. Bean, Voyager, and Liftoff are very similar, but in Bean I haven’t figured out how to block a community without actually opening a thread.

    I’ve used Memmy the longest and like it a lot.

  • Inherited a locked ipad

    A couple years ago my mom passed away, and as we were going through her things I ended up with her iPad. I have never used it since I have my own, but today I saw it sitting there and figured I’d see what’s on it. But it’s pass coded. My sibling are trying to help me figure out the code, but so far no luck. Any ideas?

    America Has Reached Peak Therapy. Why Is Our Mental Health Getting Worse?
  • It seems to me there is a very simple answer to the issue pointed out in the article—mental health problems are out of control, and no matter how many therapists and doctors we employ to combat it, there’s just no stopping it.

  • How the fuck can I kill 20 hours?
  • No advice, but I sympathize. I once sat listening to music while waiting for my flight to board. When there was no activity and fewer passengers in the area than I expected, I discovered that while I had been waiting they changed the gate for my flight. I ended up waiting in Chicago Midway (this was before their big upgrades in the early 00s) for 12 hours. It was hell.

  • I am pissed apparently Holly by Stephen King will not be narrated by Will Patton
  • That’s how I felt when listening to King’s Dark Tower series when Frank Muller was replaced with George Guidall (who is a fantastic narrator in his own right). Then I discovered there was a pretty compelling reason they had to switch.

  • Tin can cannon
  • All of the cans had both ends cutout of them except one…the bottom can. The end of the tube was sealed by that end of the can. On the side of the can just an inch or so from the end you put a hole large enough to squirt in the lighter fluid. I remember some kids shaking the tube to try and get the lighter fluid throughout the tube and not just in the end, but I never noticed that helped.

  • Tin can cannon
  • We used to make those too. We called them tennis ball canons. You pretty much described the whole thing. Make a big tube from a bunch of cans taped together and put a hole in the bottom one. Squirt lighter fluid into the hole, put your tennis ball in the other side, and light the lighter fluid through the hole.

  • Have you *ever* filed for your share of class-action litigation settlement money?
  • Every now and then I browse https://topclassactions.com/category/lawsuit-settlements/open-lawsuit-settlements/ to see if there is anything I qualify for. Most are $5-$10 things. But they give you these virtual gift cards with the money on them, and you cannot combine them all into one card. So now I have a bunch of these cards with $2-7 on them, and I can’t use them because there’s not enough on any card to buy anything.

  • Poor Mickey Rourke. The ice just won't cooperate. (Angel Heart 1987)

    All he presumably was doing was trying to get some ice for those drinks. But that block of ice just wouldn't cooperate!

    Totally forgot about geocaching until I saw this community

    My kids and I used to do this all the time. Lots of great memories. About the time the geocaching app in the Apple Store stopped working and they created a new subscription app, we quit. Any app recommendations for getting back into this? Anything free out there, or is it all subscription-based?

    Can’t believe this little guy was a rescue. One of the top two dogs I’ve ever owned.

    Television @lemmy.world Ocelot @lemmy.world
    Interested to read about the psychological effects of Jury Duty on the main character

    Not a fan of reality TV at all, but this one really intrigued me. I’m really interested to read about how the main character processed the whole ordeal when he was told it was fake, but the only articles I can find he just says it took a number of days to really process it all. Loved the concept of the show, but pretty hard to believe there is such a good-hearted person in the world like this guy.

    Map of London neighborhoods?

    I am trying to research hotel prices around London, but have no idea where places like West Drayton, Slough, and Crawley are. I haven't had any success locating a map of areas around London that tell me where these places are. I am basically having to create my own, but it's so time consuming and I am sure there has to be something like this out there somewhere.
