BeMoreCareful , in I ordered my daughter a pizza, something I don't usually do. I got Domino's smallest size with two toppings. I got her cheese sticks and two sauces and tipped the driver 20%. $31.07.

Domino’s is pretty high for what it is. Not that it’s bad pizza, but…

Babalugats ,

Dominos is not bad pizza? Where are you based, or am I missing the /s?

kaboom36 , in My laptop hinge just ripped its screws right out.

Yep, happens a lot, I’ve got a cute little pair of nuts that replaced the inserts in my thinkpad

ji17br , in My laptop hinge just ripped its screws right out.

Used to do laptop repair. It’s insane how often this happens with the crappy plastic shells.

That sucks.

Happened with my previous laptop and couldn’t find replacement parts unfortunately.

Tippon OP ,

I’ve managed to find a replacement base, as that was broken too, but not this part. It looks like I should be able to fix it with some epoxy though :)

RedIce25 , in My laptop hinge just ripped its screws right out.

Laptop hinges are the worst, cant imagine how many laptops I’ve seen with cracked plastics where the hinges are.

stom , in My laptop hinge just ripped its screws right out.

HP?

NosferatuZodd ,

seems like everyone is immediately suspecting HP, rightfully so… my HP also did this exact same thing and I had to epoxy it to the frame to get it back together

maccentric ,

I’ve seen this issue on an MSI laptop. Looking into it I found the problem quite widespread. The hinge is way too tight and the mount point it weak

Tippon OP ,

Stonebook branded Clevo laptop

Your birthday is also your cake day? Convenient! Happy both!

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

my birthday is near my cake day. I got the money a little early.

possiblylinux127 , in My laptop hinge just ripped its screws right out.

Cheap laptops don’t hold up. I’ve seen so many broken devices which the screen just breaks off

Tippon OP ,

I’ve got to give them their dues, it’s a Stonebook branded Clevo laptop, and it’s a 7th gen i5, so it’s lasted a long time. It seems to have been dropped onto its corner, which broke the base and weakened this part. Hopefully the epoxy will do it :)

possiblylinux127 , in Look what I got to spend my birthday money on!

I’m so confused

Why are you pissed?

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Take your pick:

Long-term illness bringing us down to one income.

High medical bills.

Having to use birthday money to help pay down those bills.

People on the internet telling me I’m lying about it all…

possiblylinux127 ,

Doesn’t your work cover it?

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I haven’t been able to handle a job since last year, unfortunately.

possiblylinux127 ,

Oh

Get well soon. God speed

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Thank you!

The issue is that health insurance shouldn’t be tied to employment. This could very well be a payment plan for a much larger bill, so op is probably paying off $200 a month over a year or more.

Not everyone is so blessed to have a low deductible plan. Most people have high deductible plans. Having a deductible of $6k or more is as good as being uninsured. Most people can not deal with paying $6k for an emergency - it can zero out folks bank accounts or be a hamper on their month to month budget.

corsicanguppy ,

Doesn’t your work cover it?

  1. Probably not
  2. Definitely not with no job
untorquer ,

Employer provided healthcare only covers about %54 of Americans. So in general it’s not a safe assumption.

TheOakTree , in Look what I got to spend my birthday money on!

Crazy how you managed to photoshop the decimal point to the left by so many digits!

(I know, it’s only a partial payment)

Jarix , in I ordered my daughter a pizza, something I don't usually do. I got Domino's smallest size with two toppings. I got her cheese sticks and two sauces and tipped the driver 20%. $31.07.
gerbler ,

Pizza is always fucking insanely overpriced. I feel like this wasn’t always the case…

ASeriesOfPoorChoices ,

yeah, love that uber surcharge. 🤦‍♂️

EleventhHour , in Look what I got to spend my birthday money on!

Hope you’re doing well! Best wishes!

American healthcare sucks unless you’re rich

Not sure where based op, but a pizza counter top oven (5 minutes) is around €80 in Europe since inflation, but can still be found for around €60 in sales. I guess if there are similar ovens and similar prices that would mean if you find yourself getting pics more than 3 times a year from Dominos, then maybe buy one of those (e.g. Arieta 909 or G3ferrari) It would work out cheaper. Make the dough, buy the toppings put them all in the freezer. No smell other than the same smell from cooked pizza.

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

That’s not a smell I can handle. I stay in my office in the garage when pretty much any food is cooked or delivered and then have them leave the oven extraction fan on for 15-30 minutes. That usually brings the smell down to mildly unpleasant for about half an hour until I think I must get used to it.

On the bright side, at least you went to one of the most trustworthy medical institutions there is.

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

You’d think so, wouldn’t you? They didn’t help me at all. They were so shitty, I got a partial refund.

Alk ,

Oh damn, I was not expecting that.

Sorry… is there a community for “I’ve been pissed off for months now?”
