In was looking for a small space heater for the bathroom because it gets so cold in the morning. There was one that was a plug in into the outlet kinda like a night light, and had a temperature display. There was a one star review along the lines of
This thing is garbage! It just keeps saying nonsense like 9L! Needs better instructions!
Decimal time is the representation of the time of day using units which are decimally related. This term is often used specifically to refer to the French Republican calendar time system used in France from 1794 to 1800, during the French Revolution, which divided the day into 10 decimal hours, each decimal hour into 100 decimal minutes and each decimal minute into 100 decimal seconds (100000 decimal seconds per day), as opposed to the more familiar standard time, which divides the day into 24 hours, each hour into 60 minutes and each minute into 60 seconds (86400 SI seconds per day).
What are the laws in the US regarding this? In Germany, this clock is clearly defective and must be repaired or replaced or refunded by the vendor at no additional charge.
You could definitely get it repaired/replaced by the manufacturer
But, would you? You can probably return it to where you bought it, but that's at least 10 mins of your life.
You could also throw it in the trash... That takes 0 minutes. That's what they hope you'll do, and so every other option is made possible, but frustrating
The old Kmart headquarters building that’s been abandoned rotting away as urban decay next to a fancy mall for since before the new millennium where the executives allegedly had cocaine parties in the 80s (which may have negatively affected the company’s outcome) is finally being professionally torn down by construction crewmen. It’s so fucking ugly beige reddish rust 80s office building its parts should be buried with humanity’s nuclear waste
All y'all guessing this is Australia are correct, dude's got it listed on his profile. https://twitter.com/Sheeds1984 This is also his pinned tweet, he's probably enjoying the fame.
Funny. They are on Lemmy.world but yet, forgot the world exists.
But it is weird to find out that a store known for cheap garbage and bad stores that went out of business is doing just fine on the murderous animal island so I get why they are confused.
My wife is absolutely fine in my books. The same way you can say my friend or my acquaintance or what have you, you can say my spouse/wife/husband/whatever without implying any sort of ownership. My view might be skewed being an ESL, but the same applies to German, Russian, Ukrainian, French, for example, which I speak too. I've never heard people complaining over those usages
"My" can, but certainly doesn't always imply ownership. It implies that the qualifier for person B in the sentence is applied to their relationship to me, person A.
My banker, my hairdresser, my dentist, my accountant, my contractor, my neighbor, my boss, my elected official, etc.
Probably not at all on you, here, but this is a good example of "exaggerated progressivism" or fake-woke/politically correct speech. It weakens the credibility of the progressive movement and gives conservatives silly exaggerations to point to and mock, when this kind of stuff emerges.
I don't know if "my" always means owning the noun it could mean co-owning the relationship. If I say "my partner" or "my kids" or "my job" I don't think most people think I am a slave owner who somehow has an unbreakable contract with work.
