In my experience, damn near every pizza place has had combo deals and coupons and stuff. And no, I never had to give any extra information or data or app install or whatever that I wouldn’t have had to give for the order anyway. Just say “yeah, add that special to the cart”
Kinda like if you order a cheeseburger, fries, and drink instead of a #1 combo.
Ironically, you could use the meme template to say that somehow
In the US, it’s made by Hershey. At least the bigger complaint about that company is chocolate that’s not nearly as good as opposed to points at everything
“Huh, I hadn’t really considered this [kinda racist when you think about it] view, but it’s actually pretty popular [by bots] so maybe there’s something to this!”
It’s a true story, too! One friend was out of town during the sale. I left them in her garage, texted her to let her know I brought them back, and interrupted my own text to take advantage of the opportunity 😀
They already did that about 30 years ago…
and can’t even get you halfway across the state on a single charge
This is the part that needs to be rethought. Depending on speed and stuff, I can go about 200 miles on a charge. Want to go farther? Fine! DC fast charging is, in fact, fast. Plug in, take a pee break, stretch for a minute, and get a bite to eat. In 20 minutes, you can get a lot of charge in most cars (granted, my Chevy Bolt needs a little more time but that battery technology is relatively obsolete)
We already stop on the road for other reasons. It’s not hard to combine stops, and it will only get easier as chargers get built up. Stop pretending we need to drive 500 miles without stopping, that’s dangerous anyway.
Or just… Not have 500000 partners in the first place
no significant competition? Is that a joke?
For the type of service they are (hosting random one-off videos and series that anyone can load and optionally kicking back a portion to the content creators) - who are they competing against? If you go on the street and ask random people to name 3 streaming services that do that, you’ll likely get YouTube, “ummm”, and “I dunno”
I also got Z-wave shades from Bali when Home Depot had a 50% off custom window treatments sale. They’ve been wonderful, and integrate with Home Assistant very nicely overall. Battery lasts a long time (about 6 months of use, with a daily “round trip” and they’re still at about 60%) and status gets reported back. One piece on one shade got machined weirdly so I couldn’t use the Z-wave, and they were happy to send a replacement.
Bali is manufactured by a company called Springs Window Fashions. Might be worth looking into them and their other brands too!
Oh, and Home Depot has sample material books you can take home for a night to see what would work best for you.
I have a ton of east-facing windows on the back of my house. It’s a blessing or a curse depending on weather and time of day. I always dreamed about them running automatically, and eventually ordered a bunch of Z-wave controlled motorized shades. Then a Raspberry Pi running Home Assistant to control it all.
While I was waiting for those shades to arrive, I got a bunch of Kasa light switches so I didn’t have to sweep across the entire house to turn off all the lights every night. Turning the hallway light off after 9:45PM triggers the automation.
The rabbit hole only got bigger from there.
It’s a git gat bar!
I probably count as that type of person you describe. I found a model on Lemmy that I really wanted to make and ended up buying an Ender 3 v2 cheap with a coupon at Micro Center. Has it totally been trouble-free? No. But I got it for a hundred bucks, plus a few addons (auto-level, flexible magnetic bed). I’d have to pay significantly more for a nicer one, when this is just an experimental hobby. I don’t care if I have to fiddle around a little more to get my occasional print going. In a way fine-tuning is part of the problem solving and tinkering I’m really looking for. I don’t care if the quality is less than what another printer can do. I don’t need a Cadillac when a Geo gets me to the grocery store just fine.
Oh, and most of my issues were caused by shitty filament. Once I went from some weird stuff on Amazon to the Inland I’ve had better success with, things went way better. I’m surprised that’s not mentioned more actually.
My great-uncle never learned how to use a computer (well, other than the TRS-80 he got before he retired). He was pretty mechanical though. Even if he probably wouldn’t understand much about how it worked, he probably would’ve appreciated 3D printing if used for a car part or something!

I use Kasa switches all over my house and am waiting for them to release their fan controller (it was announced at CES last year, and a thread on the old place says it’ll be out at the end of the month)
I’m excited for my fan to shut off if it’s too cold in the bedroom. Already have a temperature/humidity sensor in there.
Unless you’re in Denver, in which case you’ll need a 2,000’ ladder to get out

Most people should learn to live below their means
I’m not saying I’ve never seen someone get something and wonder how they can afford it, it certainly happens plenty. But wages are not increasing like the prices of housing, student loans, groceries, going to the doctor, having a child, and all kinds of things an employed person should be able to take for granted. “Just live below your means” is not very realistic when the means aren’t keeping up.
That’s true, I have generally gotten my pizza elsewhere (not that I’m an anti-chain purist snob, but there are several options and Domino’s is my least-favorite). If Domino’s is particularly egregious, why was that your choice? Surely you knew that and a coupon wasn’t the only way they could do it?
