Yeah absolutely, I’m not disagreeing with you. But if you had to drive across town to perform the work, and say you didn’t know beforehand that it was a float or you didn’t have the right type with you and had to go to the store, then your total amount of time spent port to port would likely be more than an hour. How much is your time worth? I am a technician , my work charges over $200/hr labor rate. About half that goes to me. There is overhead with coordination, vehicle costs, tools, etc… Basically what I’m saying is that yeah, the physical work only takes 10 minutes, but much more goes into the cost than just that.

If the plumber is your mom’s neighbor and has the float already, then yeah it’s pricey but if they had to drive 30 minutes to get there and go to the store for the part, it really isn’t that crazy. Also is it a legitimate business or just an under the table side job? Location in the country matters too.

I got in trouble for doing homework at school. Homework is supposed to be done at Home, not at school, I was told.

Absolutely. There’s no real use for the opposite.

Another one here for the API exodus 👍

There’s a cool video that talks about that title screen - how it was quite a feat to get that large image to load. They had to deploy a bunch of tricks to make it work. Love that image, and the game of course is one of my favorites of all time. Thanks for the upload!

I would like to throw out there that the ACLU is a libertarian organization that would likely line up with the majority of the beliefs of Lemmy users. With that said I understand most people aren’t using libertarian in its ‘correct’ meaning as the ACLU does.
