Jessica@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Breaking the generational barriersEnglish4·4 days agoI’m with in you in spirit, but then I’d have to live with consequential stink of my own actions.
Jessica@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Breaking the generational barriersEnglish182·5 days agoSo around Friday of last week, my ground level apartment started to have a weird, foul, smell. It got worse and worse, until Monday morning, when my toilet stopped flushing and the drains took forever to clear.
By then the smell was horrid, like a mixture of skunk, piss, and decay. Thankfully for me, my toilet suddenly started working for a couple of hours Monday night, but then stopped working by Tuesday morning. Around 3pm on Tuesday, they finished repairing the sewage pipe, but the smell lingers on.
This also happened maybe 6-8 months ago, and it took 7-10 days for the smell to finally dissipate. I expect it will take that long this time as well.
Judging by the notice left on all of our doors, that threatened to charge the person or persons responsible for flushing “flushable” wipes and cigarette butts (???) as well as dumping oil down the drain, our sewage pipe must have been completely blocked up. Without inspecting each unit, I doubt they will be able to assign blame, so whoever did it will likely get away with it.
I have nothing to worry about, as I never pour oil down the drain, I don’t smoke cigarettes, and I only ever use toilet paper in the bathroom. Whoever invented “flushable” wipes deserve a punch in the fucking face. Now my apartment smells absolutely terrible, and likely will continue to do so for a week or so.
For the love of god, do not dump oil down the drain! It’s so easy to pour it into a jar, then use a paper towel to wipe the rest of the oil out of the pot/pan. It makes actually cleaning the cookware that much easier as well.
Jessica@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto News@lemmy.world•Evangelical church urges Trump admin to 'execute' LGBTQ AmericansEnglish1·6 days agoIn the case of capital punishment, I don’t think the intent is for them to actually use the death penalty on us, but to use it as a scare tactic to push us closer to full erasure from public life. To say “look what we could possibly do to you” sort of thing.

Jessica@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What's the solution to QR code phishing?English2·6 days agoInteresting! I did not realize they use bit.ly and such. That would make the solution even more difficult, as Apple and Google would then need to make some sort of deal with every major URL shortening service to somehow be able find out what the URL links to, and then check it against a blocklist. That would require quite a bit of cooperation, to the point of being a non-starter I’d think. Why use a short URL service for a QR code?
Jessica@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What's the solution to QR code phishing?English6·6 days agoThat seems quite difficult to combat. Especially if there is a 0 day exploit based in the web browser for iOS or Android devices that attackers could use for their nefarious purposes.
Not sure about Android, but on iOS, when one scans a QR code it shows the web address on the screen that the user then taps on. For the average user, I doubt that they are going to question what the URL is before following through to the website.
Perhaps Apple and Google could implement a sort of verification that a link is suspect or not, and prompt the user to either proceed or not. Anti-phishing blocklists are a thing, so it would seem that it wouldn’t be too difficult. Though that would not stop domains that have not been added to the blocklists from passing the verification attempts.
Jessica@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•What sort of grill needs a firmware update lolEnglish4·6 days agoA quick search suggests that a 2 minute charge will provide a few hours of use, while it takes about 2 hours to charge it fully. Whether that is acceptable or not is up to the user, of course. But to me that seems pretty reasonable. Though none of this really matters for me, as I don’t use mice.

Jessica@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•What sort of grill needs a firmware update lolEnglish53·6 days agoI wonder how long it takes for the firmware update to take place. A few minutes? An hour?
I recognize the community I’m in rn. Just curious about how long it actually takes. I doubt it takes very long, or happens very often.
In a similar vein was the location of the charging port on the Apple mouse. Sure it seems asinine, but you only charge it like once a month, so it really isn’t an actual issue. It was just an excuse to hate on Apple products.
Jessica@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto News@lemmy.world•Evangelical church urges Trump admin to 'execute' LGBTQ AmericansEnglish1·6 days agoThink of it less as how this specific law will be used to target LGBTQ+ people directly, but as a stepping stone to push for more laws that expand the reach of it to eventually include LGBTQ+ people.
Some may argue that this is quite the leap, but there have been 598 pieces of legislation that have been proposed in 2025 alone, with (luckily) only 66 that have passed, that target LGBTQ+ people.
I am leery when it comes to “protect the children” legislation these days. There always seems to be an ulterior motive behind them.
