Awesome news, but given the track record of recent mayors, he might soon turn into a villain.

When I sold my old apartment it still had the original appliances, more than 20 years old. A year prior I ordered a part for them directly from the manufacturer and changed it myself.

You just need to pick a brand that offers support long term. Hint: it's not going to be the cheapest one.

Goes without saying, in the new house we bought the exact same brand for almost everything. Don't want to use the "spy" functions? Don't connect them to the internet, you're going to have a dumb machine as before. I for one enjoy the chance of getting notified when it's done or preheating the oven one the way home.

No workers fought and died for washing machines. It was 20th century "tech Bros" who created them, and were adopted in communist and capitalist countries alike. Luddites (old and modern) are just afraid and cause overall harm just to save their own skin and not having to learn a new skill.

Yes, in the 19 century they had mandatory paid vacation, universal Healthcare, paid maternity leave and paid vacation and a regulated 40h work week. At home machines cleaned their floors, their clothes and their dishes while their kids received free education.

Now we have black lung, hunger and child labor with a bunch of kids dying all the time stuck in chimneys, while Rockefeller owns half the world. Now we live in filth because our 80h work week doesn't allow us to manually clean our homes and since we need to use our houses in the middle of the night we are constantly dying of tuberculosis, Typhus and others.

Wait, I might have mixed the two...

I think the reaction here means that the CEO is wrong. People care more about revenge and punishment than about harm reduction. They prefer more deaths on the road as long as it's humans doing the killing, because we can put them in jail.

Ice official... So... a dude? Probably incompetent and misinformed at that.

Then sue the Olympics

In Europe, idealo is great. For IT stuff and electronics, Geizhals.

I can't believe nobody has noticed this in their rage boner, but this is double hearsay. Some dude said that he was told by other dude that this is going on.

I'm all for people fearing and even hating ICE, but this one smells funky.

It's not about getting a raise, it's about asking for it.

Anecdotally, my biggest raises were also switching jobs, but that's not the point i (or the meme) was making.

Exactly. If they do anything weird (even by mistake) Norway can sue them into oblivion. Good luck doing that with a Chinese company.
