In my country, free schools are not an expense, we profit on it.

Whatever money we spend on an education, will on average come back twice in the form of increased income tax. Plus of course the other values of living in a well educated society.

So taking a free education is not society subsidizing you, you are doing society a favor.

To me, "free album" is like a person handing out free CD's on a busy sidewalk.

This is more like my landlord going into my living room and putting a CD on my shelf.

(Now someone will tell me about how my analogy is flawed, I don't care, that's how analogies work. It's not the same, it's an analogy.)

You are saying what I'm saying, and what everybody else is saying. But with a tone of defending it, as if it can't be better.

Don't give any customer your "trash pile". Either take the time to do it right, or throw away the trashpile, or accept that customers feels like people are saying they feel.

Don't make up excuses, the things you say you won't do is not what is needed.

Things are done very, very differently here than most places.

Maybe that's the problem. Everybody else has figured it out. I know you can't change that, but lots of people could if they wanted to.

If I have a strip of, say, 10 pills, 2 rows of 5, and I get a prescription for 6 pills, that means I'm gonna have a strip of 4 pills left over. If I get a prescription for 9 pills, there's gonna be a single one left over. Do you want these pills to just be thrown away?

Order of 6 pills - give a 3x2, you now have a 2x2.

Order 9 pills - give the 2x2 and a 1x5, you now have a 1x5.

I see your problem, but I don't see how that can turn into "a 10x1, a 4x1, a 2x1 and another 2x1" as your best choice. That looks like he got the left-over-pile after a day of ever order getting from a new pack.

Honestly, I don't know why you even have to open a package. I've never seen that, and I've been in some long pharmacy queues. Never been to US though.

If I need exactly 10 pills, I get a box with 10 pills, packed in a factory like any other box of pills.

This alone is enough for me, to consider Windows a bad choise.

I've said that line so many times.

Then I misread it. He seemed like he expected a beginner-friendly experience.

If he is experienced, and use Debian as an example of how Linux is not beginner-friendly, then he must be trolling.

I'm from Denmark. Most people here are middle class.

It is common to own a vacation house here, if that is your interest.

Owning a business is also very common here, you gotta make a living somehow. And sure, if you manufacture something, why not export.

I don't know how common it is to go on 5 star hotels here. I don't really look at the stars. But if the cheapest available hotel that fit my needs happens to be 5 star, then that's where I go.

I'm definitely not rich here.

Really? It seems to me that wherever I go they use the same plug*, and I can charge with my debit card. (Except one place in Germany, but I think it was an error in the payment system.)

Yes, there's technically two different plugs, but they go in the same socket in my car. It just that the fast ones have a larger plug.

The problem is that some of them are much cheaper if you have the right card, but I believe the most expensive ones are still cheaper than fueling an ICE car.

[–] myplacedk@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah, that seems like a much bigger problem.

I haven't read it, but it could be to demonstrate how easy it was to identify it as a fake, without the ressources of BBC.

Yes, there it obviously means "no parking". You were complaing about the little bits between the parking spots. Right?

I don't see the problem. Don't park outside the marked area. Red line is reminding you, because lots of people think the marked rectangle is a suggestion.
