The la cucaracha horn from those cars
I feel like that would just sound like a fart
KingJalopy @lemm.eeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's a relatively minor thing to most people that you WISH you could have?91·14 days agoPaying the price for that today myself. Ate a big ass bowl of cereal last night while sleep walking. My sleeping self didn’t know to take lactaid… 🤢
Also their mother’s maiden name and the names of their childhood best friend and 1st pet.
KingJalopy @lemm.eeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's a time when you felt like you woke up and the universe had just changed?8·1 month agoYep. I was 18 at the time and I was absolutely dumbfounded. I literally could not believe what I was seeing. Buddy said someone attacked the tower with a bomb or something and we turned on the TV just minutes before the 2nd plane hit. Was fucking unreal.
KingJalopy @lemm.eeto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Ornate barcode feels like it's breaking the fourth wall, somehow3·1 month agoDude I have no idea I even tried to Google it and this sounds like the ramblings of a madman or madwoman or madperson.
KingJalopy @lemm.eeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Moved a Few Things Into a New Affordable Room. Woke up to Bed Bugs. An Exclusive Ask Lemmy Update: I left. Should I move back?1·1 month agoIt’s hard to say over the Internet, I’m sorry. If this pest “inspector” is actively treating each room then you’ll be ok assuming they know what they’re doing but inspecting doesn’t do anything, they need to be actually treating the issue. Again, without actually seeing what’s going on I can’t really say. If you just so happen to be in or near Sacramento California I’ll be glad to come help you. Depending on your situation the law can help you. Bottom line, if I were in your shoes from what you’ve told me I’d be looking for alternatives or looking for serious help.
There is no war in (that avatar city I can’t remember)
“walled sphere”…
Right, right…
Ice wall around the flat circle maybe… But I’ve been told I can’t find out anyway, too dangerous.

KingJalopy @lemm.eeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Moved a Few Things Into a New Affordable Room. Woke up to Bed Bugs. An Exclusive Ask Lemmy Update: I left. Should I move back?1·2 months agoThey wouldn’t necessarily move into your computer. They live on your bed because they eat blood. They would starve in your computer. They need humans to survive but they can survive for very long periods of time without eating so who knows? I rarely see them away from anywhere humans are usually relaxing. I’ve seen them behind picture frames and in the cracks of night stands but can honestly say I’ve never looked at a computer. I have checked cable boxes in hotels but never seen them there. Make of that what you will I suppose.

KingJalopy @lemm.eeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Moved a Few Things Into a New Affordable Room. Woke up to Bed Bugs. An Exclusive Ask Lemmy Update: I left. Should I move back?20·2 months agoI don’t want to discourage you or anything by the way, but these fuckers are very hard to control. One of the only bugs that can cause actual psychosis just from fear of them alone. They aren’t dangerous as far as disease and stuff go but they can cause serious mental distress. Again, of you want some recommendations on products you can try I’m happy to help but you might not be able to purchase some of them without a license.
KingJalopy @lemm.eeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Moved a Few Things Into a New Affordable Room. Woke up to Bed Bugs. An Exclusive Ask Lemmy Update: I left. Should I move back?28·2 months agoOh if there’s that many rooms I would say it’s just gonna be a recurring issue unless they have hired a pest company to deal with this. I have a hotel account that I treat regularly. They have a legal obligation to do so if a customer complains but this is California. When we do find actual evidence of bed bugs we treat every room within 3 doors of that room even if it’s only the one room. They are prolific breeders and unless it’s being professionally addressed I wouldn’t risk it if you can avoid it.
I treat the entire hotel once a month and I still go there at least twice a month to address bed bugs when customers complain. Granted, at a hotel people are constantly coming and going and bringing them with them so it’s a constant battle.
Personally, I would find somewhere else unless the owner is proactively taking care of it. If not, you’ll be going through this more than once I can almost guarantee it.
KingJalopy @lemm.eeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Moved a Few Things Into a New Affordable Room. Woke up to Bed Bugs. An Exclusive Ask Lemmy Update: I left. Should I move back?29·2 months agoThere’s are a few reasonable responses in this thread but I’m a post control professional. If you want to feel free to message me and I’d be glad to tell you what you can do that will actually get rid of them. Diatomaceous Earth isn’t gonna cut it and cold will do nothing. You need heat and chemicals. They have likely laid eggs in the Tufts, or piping of the mattress. Pesticides won’t penetrate eggs so there is no one time treatment that will cure this. Even if you kill what’s alive you need to kill what hatches after before they lay more eggs. Insect growth regulators will also help. It will take time, patience, and professional grade products. If you can get your hands on crossfire or temprid those work best for bed bugs.

KingJalopy @lemm.eeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is the most cumbersome device you've ever used?151·2 months agoMy pixel 6a…
Bought new 2 years ago through Google Fi, camera stopped working after 2 weeks. Literal hardware failure. Used warranty and was sent another which was refurbished. (Bullshit by the way, I paid in full for the damn phone new 2 weeks prior.)
About 1 month after that one showed up Wi-Fi and Bluetooth began randomly turning off then on. Then it just flat out failed to even find any Wi-Fi networks unless I rebooted it multiple times. Bluetooth would randomly cut in and out while connected to my car. Reboot multiple times would occasionally fix it. The real problem here is I have unlimited (see -limited to 35 gigs) data. Watching YouTube in bed and falling asleep the phone would say fuck Wi-Fi and stream all night on 5g eating my data in days limiting me to 2g speeds for the rest of the month.
Eventually doing the reboot to fix this shit it would just start randomly boot looping for hours. Had to hold down volume to enter the setup mode or whatever, power off, snack the phone a couple times, restart, and if I was lucky it would start up, and I was really lucky the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth might work.
This led to eventually the phone just randomly restarting itself. Especially if the Bluetooth was working and I was using headphones and someone called me. It would just turn off then boot loop again lol. If and sometimes if I powered it off it would just be stuck on the powering off screen for an hour.
I had insurance and warranty and Google did their fucking damnedest to fuck me around. I called them (Fi) multiple times and had the issue eventually escalated to management or something. Was promised a new phone was being sent out. Never showed up. This happened twice. I filed a complaint and it was eventually (see months) followed up with a call to inform me I was officially out of the warranty period (of course I was, by the time you actually reached out) however they would ship me one if I sent mine back. They would put a hold FOR THE FULL PRICE of the NEW phone on my bank account until they received my faulty device. OR I could just send it in and they would send me a new after it has been received leaving me without a phone for up to 2 weeks. Effectively paying again for the phone I already purchased in full.
I finally broke down last week and just got a Moto stylus 5g which has been great so far. However, I got it through Fi of course because they’re simply the cheapest option for me as I’ve had it since it came out and I am grandfathered in with 3 lines “unlimited” for $65/month. When I ordered the moto I noticed they have a trade in offer… :D I of course choose yes, followed by questions to see if I was eligible…
-
Does the phone have any cracks or damage? A - No! 👍 (A miracle honestly with how often I slammed this thing out of frustration)
-
Does the phone power on? A - Yes! (Technically it does…)
You’re eligible for the trade in offer! You will receive a $76 bill credit once we receive your device!
Awesome! Google will be receiving the biggest, most useless piece of shit device I have EVER had the displeasure of owning and I’ll receive a credit essentially making my new phone free!
It took 2 years and I suspect they’ll try to fuck me out of the credit unless I get lucky and the device actually starts up normally when they receive it. But, in my own very small and admittedly petty way I feel like I’m getting revenge on these fuckers.
Tldr - pixel 6a is worthless. My wife has the same phone and hers is flawless but I was delivered 2 that were both fucked in some way. Google did nothing to fix it.
