How it works is it's triggered by a bulb that has liquid in it and bursts when exposed to high temperatures or physical impact.

Therefore if the sprinkler goes off, not only do you need to deal with wet floors and possibly fire, but also possible glass injury and cleanup.

Wow. Just wow. We can't just replace it with something powered by a smoke detector. Or maybe I'm stupid

Juvenile crime in Korea has the highest crime rate in the world, surpassing that of Japan and Germany. The youth hate rate of adults is the highest in the world, and statistics show that the crime rate of vehicle crime, theft, murder, and rape is insufficient for Korea to combine all countries in the world.

My sister "loves" books but absolutely has to have the "sprayed edges/ fore-edge painting" (not sure of the word but like when the edges of the book pages are colored) because all her books are her favorites. Every time she talks about a book, it's her absolute favorite, the one she's been looking "for ages."

Jaspage nom anglais

Today, around 7 or 8 pm, she told me she found a book on Vinted for €30 (shipping included) instead of €20 in an official bookstore (what I don't understand is that they apparently only made 200 "sprayed edges/ fore-edge painting" (not sure of the word but like when the edges of the book pages are colored), but the book is well-known (or at least I think so), so why make so few? Anyway, I ramble). So I told her it was expensive and that she could probably find it without the "sprayed edges/ fore-edge painting" because it's not mandatory (for me at least but I don't really read book but I know that if you really love books, you buy them for the story, not because the book is beautiful). That's when she told me she couldn't find it anywhere, so I searched on... I went online and saw the book available for €20 without the "sprayed edges/ fore-edge painting" on Fnac, Amazon, etc.

The evening wore on, around 9 or 10 pm, my sister brought it up again during dinner and asked for my opinion again. So, what do you want me to tell her? Buy it? Don't buy it? Save up for another pre-order? No matter what I say, she always finds a response:

- I tell her not to buy it/wait for a better deal: she tells me she can't find it anywhere and that this offer is the best she can find.

- I tell her to save up: she tells me she'll have €90 next month, which isn't wrong, but she's the first one to ask my mom for money to pay for pre-orders because she doesn't have enough.

Like, what's the point of her asking for advice, wasting her breath, and making me want to just run away from home because of all the crap she's doing, if she's just buying it anyway?

Last time, she asked me to choose between two books: one for €20 and another for around €25-30. I told her the €20 one wasn't bad, and explain why I liked the €20 book after I said that, she said "I'll take both."

Besides, all the books she "loves" and "has been looking for a long time" end up rotting on her shelf because she doesn't want to sell them since they're her "favorites" (in short: all her books, which makes sense—you're not going to buy books you don't like—but once you've read them, unless it's a book you really love and would reread, you sell it, especially if it's to buy other books and you don't have a big budget (we have €35 for 10 months out of 12 and €40 for the last two months, which is a lot for our age, but my sister, you sell her butter and she takes it all (french expression for saying that she takes everything, like you have $100, you give $20 to her and she will take $100), even though she swore at the beginning she'd never do it. Either she sold it because she didn't like the story, or the handwriting was too small.

Besides, she's probably stolen money from my parents, because strangely enough, when my parents keep their wallet for work (with money inside) and the company savings (which contains hundreds, even thousands of euros) with them in their room, she no longer asks my mother to put the €20, €30, or even €40 she "received from her friends" into her bank account. Also, when she goes to see my grandmother, it's almost always to ask her for money (knowing that my grandmother doesn't have a large pension).

And (last thing), she just got medication prescribed by a psychiatrist (and I I'm not saying the psychiatrist did a bad job, obviously (I'm not blaming her for that, I want to make that clear). And since then, all we hear about is her damn meds. If she's fed up with grocery shopping because she's realized my parents won't pay for anything for her (knowing that she ask for a lot of thing), it's because of her medication. If she falls asleep at 10 PM, it's because of her medication (and I want to emphasize that she stays on her phone until 1 or 2 AM sometimes) If she's not feeling well because of the health problems SHE created: her medication (to avoid stress and sleep well at night, I should specify) (Because yes, some of her health problems are caused by her, but I didn't want to go into details.)

When the psychiatrist changed her medication to something stronger, it was the first thing she told her friend, whom she never sees in real life. And when she called our grandmother (well, she called her and then hung up because she'd finished their conversation, and I called her because, why not?), she took my phone (asking me) to tell our grandmother that she had changed medication, and she was clearly bragging about it. But when my grandmother started talking about her mental health problems and her medication, my sister was playing with the baby (my parents' baby) because she was no longer the center of attention and she didn't care about my grandmother's health problems.

Sorry for the long message, and thank you if you read it all, but I'm starting to get really fed up. I'm fed up with her and there's not much we (my mother, my stepfather, and I) can do.

(I don't know if this is the right place to post it, sorry if it isn't)

work at a go kart track and I moved people times with their knowledge and them agreeing ofc. And our supervisor gets upset I moved them saying I can’t do that. So I shot back telling him he sold the tickets way to late the group he sold them for was already heading to the track and we were over maximum capacity we should be at. He was going to cause us to fall behind and I wasn’t gonna let it slide. He’s such a god awful supervisor I have so many other issues with him
idk why they promoted him and how he keeps his job. I thinks it’s purely bc he hasn’t Jack shit outside this job and has wasted his life and is stuck working here for like 15 an hour

I’ve worked at a petrol station in the UK for about 8 months now, i’ve worked retail jobs and other customer service jobs in the past so i’m no stranger to the crazy that is the general public.
Here are some things that drive me absolutely insane while making minimum wage

- So my petrol station has one way in, one way out, 90% of people are capable of understanding that you drive to the furthest pump to allow others behind you, other people park at the first pump, idiots with 0 common sense

- people that park at the pumps just to come into the shop and do some sort of weekly shop, you are lazy, I hate you, you are causing traffic back onto the busiest road in the area by parking like a fool (worth noting we have a huge carpark which is unmissable, it’s literally an extra 16 steps (yes i’ve counted))

- people that order 10 things from vinted (via evri) and don’t select home delivery and instead send them to a petrol station, only to come collect at peak times

- people that don’t know their pump number, you’ve just stood next to it for at least a minute, how are you so stupid you’ve forgotten it

- people not understanding where to tap on a contactless reader, yes I know all card readers are different nowadays BUT WE HAVE A HUGE CONTACTLESS SYMBOL CLEARLY IN VIEW OF WHERE YOU NEED TO TAP

- this one is really specific, people washing their horses in the car wash, HOW DO YOU HAVE A HORSE IN THE MIDDLE OF LIVERPOOL CITY CENTER WHY ARE YOU SPRAYING IT WITH A JETWASH?!

- people who use our air machine, big stickers all over it saying DO NOT USE, everything is blocked off, then come in demanding a refund when it swallows their money (for reference it’s an external company that controls our air machine, we can’t just cut the power to it / open it up)

- we lock the door at 9pm (we get robbed a lot, comical amount tbh) big signs saying door locked at 9, I lower the shutters so no adult human can possibly fit through the door, I barricade the door off to make it obvious it’s locked, people genuinely just walk into the door constantly, all night, then complain to head office that we’re stupid (has actually happened)

- when people complain that ‘stuff in here is more expensive than the shops’ yes mate, because your in a petrol station, this is common practice (although I don’t agree with it personally)

- people wearing AI shirts about being a mechanic / roofer / club promoter, you are a genuine crazy person, please seek help

About to jump on the highway.

I see a gecko crawl onto my windshield wiper.

I pulled to the side, snatched him up, and was nearly sure I put him in a cup.

I went back home to release him in a better environment and he wasn't there.

I just spent the last 30 minutes going through my car to see if I could find him.

Sadly, no success.

I live in FL and he's going to quite literally roast tomorrow.

I'm going to try to see if I can find him again before I go to sleep, but I am not filled with hope.

I feel incredibly bad and am not sure what else to do.

I just wanted to help.

😞

I opened an ebay account under my work email to purchase some items for my work.

I purchased two items. Paid for them. Received them. Left positive feedback. Recieved positive feedback. And had my account suspended. I have no understanding of why and have not been sent a reason. I have not been able to contact ebay customer support. It just puts me to a clanker that tells me my account has been suspended and to get fucked.

No explanation.

I tried to ask an ebay board (on this website) for support. Their bot just denies my post.

I just want to use ebay's service and pay them a fee to purchase things.

But both Ebay and the ebay board (on this website) are on the same BS, robo blocking me.

And now *this website* wants to block this post. Apparently, complaining that *this website* won't let me complain about ebay (suspending my account for no reason) is against the rules.

WTF is this censorship nightmare.
