Thought of going with a shirt only at work and I could not made a worse choice. I will have to look for a new job soon.
May should have went with a shirt and pants :)
Brass brush on a drill would probably melt into plastic fast. But a handheld one would work ok, or steel if you need more persuasion and aren’t worried about scratches.
What’s under the caulk? If it’s ceramic tile, you can probably get away with a brass cup brush in a drill. Test in an inconspicuous area first obviously, but it should be less likely to scuff up the surface as something like scotchbrite.
Seathru@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Electric scooter company Bird files for bankruptcyEnglish33·2 years agoI can’t believe people were buying into their “franchise”. They approached me in 2020 when they were trying to expand into the town I live and I had a downtown warehouse to operate out of. After they got done explaining everything, I laughed until they hung up.
You had to buy the scooters from them at around $600 each, you were responsible for all the recovery/batteries/maintenance/damage/theft caused by customers, warranty was non-existent (“call our chinese supplier and they will totally hook you up”), and after that they took 20% off the top. Some quick math put it at over 6 months before each scooter became profitable IF nothing happened to it in that time. Someone throws it in the canal just to be a dick? Sucks to be you, you’re out $600 + whatever else you’ve put into it every time it happens.
Really came off to me that they were making their money selling to suckers who thought they were going to be entrepreneurs.
Edit: They did apparently did get someone here into it because I saw them around for a few months before disappearing completely.

He Responds [Open-minded]English3·2 years agoLooking at what Ozzys put out in the last few years; I would have sworn his singing was already AI-generated. And Sharon’s just puppeting him around à la Weekend at Bernies.

He came back from the vet neutered, vaxed, and a clean bill of health. Awesome pal to have at work. Doesn’t mind noises (air tools, loud engines), or water (loves wading around in puddles; that’s odd but cute), and has never met a stranger; customers love him.

Seathru@beehaw.orgOPto Animals and Pets@beehaw.org•Any guesses on the age of this kitten?English0·2 years agoThank you! I’m probably overthinking it as usual. The vets here are hard to get into, so I wanted to make sure all my ducks were in a row.
I had it happen last week. I got a “we see you’ve received your package, how do you like it?” email. Except I hadn’t. Tracking showed it dropped off 2 days earlier. My office door is open to a busy sidewalk and often unattended so I assumed the worst.
Finally found the culprit on camera. When the carrier left the package, they put it on top of a pile of other packages. As they were leaving, a gust of wind blew it straight into a nearby trash can. Where I happen to put all the empty packages, so it didn’t look out of place. And of course that was the day the trash gets taken out.
Kind of comical in hindsight. Just glad it wasn’t really anything important.
Also cyclists. If there is a person behind traveling faster than you, Get over when it is safe and allow them to pass. If that’s an inconvenience, you should have “left the house a few minutes earlier”.
I’ve raced motorcycles 2 decades now and this is brought up in every safety meeting. If the rider behind you is faster, let them pass, regardless of how important you think your run is. It’s safer for everybody.
