Waaay classier

The incentive Is supposed to be competition among manufacturers, something is preventing that
Ehhh the result of work in companies always depends on management, responsibility flows to the top.
If the workers are bad and they aren’t replaced, it’s still management’s fault.
You’ve never been to the Po Valley. We fry mortadella here.
Yes, usually it’s a whole pizza, not one tenth
skip them all, there’s too many anyway
Not from Italy, transalpine connections are few and not very convenient.
I did take an Eurostar from Brussels to Amsterdam, but that’s like catching a regional train here lol
I’m picturing a car crash where some poor sod is perforated by a super strong magnet that went flying
It’s the meaner cousin, the Gelatinous Torus!
operates lawlessly
as long as it doesn’t get caught!
Jokes aside, I’ve only ever owned European-made appliances. My old dishwasher was a Bosch that came with the apartment when we bought it, I don’t know how old it was, but I guess around 20 years, and again, I replaced but it was still working.
I don’t buy appliances at big box stores though, I always go to a dedicated shop where they kinda select their offerings, as they also have to deal with support calls. There’s one in my city that, despite being a fraction of a big box store, moves A LOT of merchandise, so they also have a lot of experience, so far I’ve been quite happy.
This explains (in part) why people like Morrowind so much: the world is just so weird and interesting.
I think you’re right. Maybe they should make a game based on Scavengers Reign.
Yeah, that’s weird of the new Fallout games, there’s people sleeping on 200-years old mattresses (what are they made of, asbestos?). I get the destruction, and I understand how they may not be able to rebuild civilization to the old standards for a long while, but ffs, at least patch your walls!
I don’t live in the US, but I’ve been a traveling tech for all my life, and I’ve got a few comments:
First paragraph: Here in my country, and I guess all of the EU since these things are usually harmonized, if you’re on the clock and you have to leave your work place (which is specified on your contract), not only the company HAS to pay for transportation, but most companies WON’T let you use your own vehicle, so either public transport, a company car or a rental. That is because of the various interpretations of workplace safety regulations.
At my current company, if I leave the “province” (let’s say 50km radius from the main city, to simplify) for at least 4 hours, I get paid for a “travelling work” day, a daily extra for each day of work I spend away from the work place. This IS NOT standard, I know many people don’t have this on their contract, but it’s common for my kind of work.
I have a company card, and every expense has to be registered, it’s actually a pain in the ass 'cause I have to both scan every receipt, and also staple them on sheets, detailing the type of expense.
Ok so, I didn’t enjoy Skyrim as much as I enjoyed Morrowind, in fact I never finished it; I skipped Oblivion 'cause at the time it came out I… had other things to deal with.
I liked FO3 (weirdly, I liked it better than FONV), but in my opinion the new ones don’t hold a candle to the first two.
As someone who’s worked on industrial machinery for food production all my life, I’m consistently amazed at what a simple dishwasher can do, and how it can do so for YEARS with essentially zero maintenance. Cleaning food residue is HARD.
I just bought a new one recently (the old one wasn’t actually broken, despite being very old, so I gave it away), and I can’t help but open it up every once in a while to admire it. How much time these devices save us!
No, I just like freedom
