Your country had better have a state owned grid, with a state run retailer, else this is still the same sort of shit, just without hidden fees.

Sincerely, an annoyed Victorian/Australian that wishes their electricity was just managed by the state.

There may be no hidden fees where I'm from, but when there's a private company with a monopoly, what's the difference?

Capitalism/privatisation is such a scam

:(

I feel like the original commenter didn't really provide what I think you're looking for.

A service that does something I think you might find useful is something like this: https://shapecatcher.com/

If you're a learner/speaker of Chinese (or Japanese, I think? I assume they use this character also) then this character is very basic so quickly comes to mind (大 dà: "big").

I'm going to enjoy this haha

Not Papstmobil?

This is the real answer, what engineer worth their salt is hiding margins in pi?

Clearly define that

🇦🇺 heh, amateurs... But seriously this is ridiculous, and straight up anti-democtatic. Single member first past the post is the worst voting system out there.

Inb4 they make mulit-member electorates winner-take-all (all seats to the party who got the plurality of votes).

This is THE fight USA. In my opinion, your ridiculous voting systems is probably why it's so easy to suppress you.

🇩🇪🇩🇰🇳🇴 Traditional?

Indeed, this is fair, but also you have a map on your phone

My most boomer complaint is when people don't know what I mean when I say "let's meet at the eastern entrance of the building".

Especially when you live in a roughly compass oriented grid city, this is unacceptable.

Kids these days

(I'm not a boomer)

Can you just use all of unicode in the US for baby names?

I will say I was being pretty hyperbolic for mild comedic effect. I have a very strong habit around this. I assume it's because they're not paying attention and do it by mistake

There is something deeply wrong with those people.

It's in my bones to walk behind or in front when someone comes if there's only enough space for 2 people

It really is pathetic when you think about it. Such a desire to have people beneath them...

Don't they know that this is still true, as long as you're part of the owner class?

"Lake Savage" hits harder in my opinion

Depends on the culture. With the Chinese it's all about insisting, or being a sneaky bastard so they can't refuse.

Steven He summarises the feeling well: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zoHztpjPFEE

Oh no, you're trying to steal $7!

:(

Australians: Finally, we're not on the deadly map!

Much more, even managed to do a bunch of dog whistles to boot :(

I have never had any reason to use any of Adobe's stuff other than acrobat.

Having used 2 competitors extensively at work, Bluebeam and PDF X-Change (and the free version of 1 of those, PDF X-Change, at home), it's not even close.

Acrobat is so much worse, and they came up with the format.

It's embarrassing.
