  • I had a similar experience with Reddit and ENGWE after their faulty front fender broke my fucking arm. They didn't seem to give a shit until I started making noise. After that they reimbursed me for my helmet, but I still need physical therapy and a new fender. We'll see how that goes.

  • If you exhaust all other options, what else can you do? The suggestion of filing complaints with your state AG and any applicable groups would also be a good move - good suggestion from Fugly!

    Actually, now that I think about it, you could try contacting higher ups at Best Buy to see if they would make it right, make noise on social media, and consider contacting local news if you're up for it. Putting pressure on them like that might speed up the resolution.

  • Caught my shoelaces in my bike chain trying to avoid a shitty driver who almost ran me off the road (I did successfully not get hit by this idiot and eventually got him to realize how bad he was fucking up, yay).

    Tired of this bullshit and am probably going to convert my bike from chain and derailleur to belt and hub like I have on my Priority Folder.

  • Check out AirZound, it's a bike pump rechargeable horn.

    Companies also make battery powered ones that sound like a car horn.

    Finally, there are impact wrench driven train horns that are over 100dB loud for when you just can't get their attention (WARNING: hearing damage guaranteed).

  • I disagree with you there, GOP has just as much control over media outlets, but the extent of control differs depending on which outlets you're talking about.

  • ...are they? They're just incompetent in different ways. Not sure competent is how I'd describe them, they are a mess: The last election is proof of that.

  • Carry an air horn, just for occasions like this.

  • Real answer: We probably won't, just like every other website.

    Some of the big places might have their own copies saved but most instances can't afford to operate like that.

  • If anything like this becomes widespread, you can bet people will figure out all sorts of ways around it and if it becomes problematic enough, they'll probably just stop using it entirely.

  • Sure, there's been talk of banning encryption as well, but practically speaking, that would be an unmitigated disaster in terms of security alone.

  • Technically possible? In the strictest sense, sure I guess?

    Practically speaking though, it'd probably be a mess to manage and likely trivial to circumvent for anyone with a little knowledge and an IQ above room temperature.

  • Right: Ironing would be for after they fixed extrusion and only if they still didn't like how it looked.

  • Circles are awesome, fight me!
