I too am relatively envious of the UK's outlet design, I only hate how bulky and foot destroying they are.

It doesn't seem to have a logo anymore (at least not when I open it)

Almost certainly not

Holy mother of superiority complex in this thread.

I mean, in their defense, the only reason you can pick them up is because they're selling them. It's not free for them to keep the plants and staff there. If you can find the leaves somewhere else then that's fine, but if you can't find that plant anywhere but the store then you're effectively using a service they're offering without paying.

Sure it's not worth the full price of the plant, but it's worth something.

Who the hell writes like this, felt like a student that had an x word paper due and added literally every adjective they could think of to pad it.

Even if the American spelling was mould as well, it's such an obvious relationship.

Mate you do realise that they also surely know it's spelled that way in American English and that it also sounds the same phonetically.

The point of 2FA isn't that if your password is weak it saves you. The point is if your password gets leaked somehow (you accidentally enter it on a fake site, the site gets compromised, someone looks over your shoulder), they still can't enter without the 2FA. I hate SMS 2FA (it's not even secure) and sites that make you go through 3 steps for some reason, but the 6 digit code ones really aren't that big of a deal, you just whip out your phone and open an app.

I mean physics is insane in general. XKCD had a video the other day that mentioned that if you had enough light/a strong enough laser, space itself stops being transparent because matter suddenly starts materialising out of nothing and blocks the light.

The thing is you're distributing that time onto a lot of people. Instead of a person having to sit at the register 24/7 now people spend 1 minute longer at the store because they have to scan stuff themselves, which is negligible. In fact, you're (or at least I am) almost always faster at shopping because now you don't need to wait for a register to open up. Now you have an entire human being that's free to do something else.

Another important fact is that for me at least the difference between when a cashier checks out goods for me and when I do it is maybe 30%, which again doesn't count the fact that you don't have to wait for a free cash register or the wait is much shorter most of the time.

Another thing it helps with is when you have a grandma fidling with her coins trying to find exact change for 5 minutes blocking everyone behind her. You can just go to a different self checkout instead of waiting for the single open till to free up.

Protecting jobs is the stupidest possible reason to be anti self checkout. I don't care much about the other points but that one I find really stupid. I guess we should also remove all automation from manufacturing and use hammers and nails to build cars as well. Let's also destroy all calculators since we can just go back to people crunching out numbers on paper.

Look at all these poor women that lost their jobs because of big calculator.

Because if he was truly such a genious he would know it's not right and fix it himself, or in general know how to have higher quality assurances.

Ok I didn't realise the emergency contact had to have a Bitwarden account, that makes sense. Thanks.

Wait how does that work? I thought Bitwarden couldn't access your passwords, how could they grant a third party access to your passwords without your master password?

Damn, I guess fluoridated water also then caused computers, world population growth and the eradication of polio.

Idk if this is a troll post or this person never heard of the fact that correlation does not equal causation.

Case and point.

Yeah but my point was moreso that there are more important things to focus on that are probably easier to do. I mean, reducing shipping by just the fact you don't need to ship oil anymore is pretty nice, it's free reduced emissions, I'm just saying that it's not that big of a deal. It is a nice plus however.

Bold of you to assume it's just your liftime
