No, worst academic misconduct I’ve done is a written one page report that was questionably close to plagiarism.

zxqwas@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is it just my area or has this been an insanely humid summer?2·4 hours agoNo, about normal summer assuming this is the last week of hot weather (forecast says so).
They did teach us financial literacy.
If you found it important as a reasonably intelligent adult you could teach yourself basic financial literacy in an afternoon.
zxqwas@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the largest object one can buy for the least amount of money?11·3 days agoDrywall. Heavy, fragile, 2 out of 3 dimensions are relatively large. Easy to transport when you’re stacking them in a truck but difficult up the stairs for example.
Bubble wrap. Cheap-ish per m³ if taking up space is more important but Easy to carry a roll of that around alone.
zxqwas@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why is it often cheaper to buy new than repair old and how can repairing be encouraged on different levels of society?15·3 days agoI repair industrial machinery where it is worth it.
Phonecall and description of the problem: 15 minutes.
Guessing what parts may be broken and seeing if we have them in stock. Loading them into the car with my tools: 30 minutes.
Driving there, costs about 3€ per 10km where I live. Plus my time.
Disassembling and diagnose: minimum 15 minutes.
Replacing the part: best case 15 minutes.
Reassembly and test: best case 15 minutes.
Clean up the mess I made and get all my stuff can in the car: 15 minutes.
Drive back.
Fill in the time card, list replacement parts on invoice and send it: 15 minutes.
You’re looking at two hours plus driving for a job where everything goes right, and then spare parts on top of that.
If you’re doing it yourself you have to add an hour of watching YouTube on how to do it. Ordering the spare part, paying shipping which probably costs as much as the part itself. The job itself probably takes twice as long because it’s the first time you do it. You had to buy a special tool too because you did not have a torque wrench for T20. You maybe ordered the wrong part and have to get another.
At the end of the process you have a thing with all parts but one worn from a few years of use. Who knows what is next to break.
Or you could buy a new one for $500 and not have to worry for a year or two while it’s under warranty.

zxqwas@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is it weird I don't typically answer how old I am anymore, because literally nobody besides my family believes me?6·5 days agoCould try to make something funny of it instead.
“I lost count after 65”
It will probably reflect some of the radiation. Wifi reception will be poorer behind the aluminium and possibly better in front.
A cheapskates version of a directional antenna.
zxqwas@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Our parents promised us we would feel like fools for thinking we were smarter than them as kids. When exactly does that start?1·7 days agoI was smarter.
That did not prevent me from being foolish like all kids are.
zxqwas@lemmy.worldtoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•New iOS call preferences (satire)English31·11 days agoIs there a preference that automatically end calls after 120 seconds?
zxqwas@lemmy.worldto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Ever think of the inconsistency of airlines weighing luggage?0·13 days agoThere is a bar or some device that is there to prevent your stuff from sliding forwards. I’ve not been crawling on the airplane floors enough to see any weight rating on it but I would bet money on it being crash tested and rated according to whatever the overhead compartments are.
zxqwas@lemmy.worldto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Ever think of the inconsistency of airlines weighing luggage?0·13 days agoThe overhead compartments have a weight limit because they must be designed to keep the stuff in there during an emergency.
And since they are round-ish it does not matter so much which way is up when you stack them. A computer will always recognize them as zeros.
A one has to be somewhat close to the right way up (or upside down works too).
Don’t think anyone will check.
Worst case scenario he will have to pick you up at the police station and you’ll have a story to tell.
