  • Except you know… That it’s not. A truck bed cover is on the exterior of the truck and can be often times folded over or removed entirely to expose the truck bed. The truck bed doesn’t extend to the interior of the car and is exclusively utility. Tonneau covers help with gas milage and theft prevention, they help things from blowing out of the truck bed. They have a ton of use.

    By your logic anything can be anything with extra steps.

    Your livingroom is a garage with extra steps.

    A cardio-vascilar surgen is a butcher with extra steps.

    Heroin is just like marijuana with extra steps.

  • They’re not going to answer your question. They never do. These people don’t know what socialism and communism is and in the same breath say that Republicans don’t know what socialism and communism is either.

    These people think that programs that benefit the indigent or economically impaired are inherently socialist programs. They think that universal healthcare is socialism as well.

    They don’t understand what a Republic is and they don’t understand the difference between private and public ownership of the means of production. They think that socialism will make everybody equal but don’t understand what equity is.

    They think that Bernie Sanders and AOC are socialists and have no idea what a Democratic socialist is in the first place.

    They don’t know anything so they cannot possibly answer your question.




  • The Lemmy world news sub is a trans rights echo chamber.

    I fully support trans rights and hate the rhetoric against them. People should be allowed to live their lives the way they feel comfortable within reason and law.

    But Jesus. I blocked world news when I got into it with an mod who said I’m a transphobe when I brought up a trans issue. Sighted that I had multiple downvoted comments as a slight against me.

    If you can’t listen to criticism get off the internet.




  • I work for a large home appliance warranty company. Many of you in the States probably have one, they are very popular.

    My boss just had a meeting with them, and the only thing they care about is five star reviews. That is it. How many we get, how high the average looks.

    Here is the problem: nobody is going to pat me on the head and say “good job” because I fixed their dryer. That is just the basic function of my job. You do not leave reviews for the Kroger checkout lady just because she scanned your produce correctly. On the other hand, if I mess up even a little, I get slammed with a one star.

    I service seven orders a day, five days a week, plus six on Saturday. Statistically, that means at least one job a day is going to turn into a one star review, not because I did something wrong, but because someone is unhappy for some reason. And the truth is, people rarely go out of their way to leave a five star review, but they will absolutely make time to leave a one star.

    The home warranty company does not care about that reality. If our average rating drops below 4.0, we get significantly less work. The higher ups do not deal with customers or field service, all they see are the numbers on a spreadsheet. From their perspective, the companies with the most five stars get the most jobs, period.

    Bottom line the five star rating means absolutely nothing it’s not a measure or metric for anything it’s completely false.


  • Two primary issues with Samsung refrigerators:

    1. On the French door models, the drainage system for the ice maker is poorly designed. Instead of water draining down into the pan underneath the refrigerator to evaporate, it backs up into the ice maker compartment. This causes a heavy buildup of ice. Eventually, the ice can get so bad inside the compartment that it prevents the refrigerator section from cooling properly.

    2. On almost all Samsung refrigerators, the drain holes for the freezer evaporator coil are too narrow. This leads to water and ice backing up into the freezer, creating widespread issues across the unit.

    As a result, these refrigerators break down frequently. More than 50% of our work orders are Samsung ice maker problems. The root cause of these service calls is simply poor engineering and design deficiencies by the manufacturer.
