Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What was it like the first time you had to call 911?
0·22 days agoI forgot: I called two more times recently because my phone screen would not turn on, and apparently there’s a setting in LineageOS to call the emergencies if you fiddle with the buttons, so as to make the situation even worse, and then there’s a voice telling you you’re about to talk to someone and you can’t hang up! (Edit: I suppose they would call back in any case).
Happened twice before I found the setting. So yeah, I wasted their time, again.

0·22 days ago15 years ago, young student, I’m walking home around midnight. In the middle of a bridge I see a human shape jumping in the water. I’m not 100% sure. I ask a group of people further up on the bridge if they saw anything, they didn’t, but said I still should call 112.
One or two police cars came, and then one (or 2?) fire truck. Lots of people. Some went with full diving equipment in the water.
They couldn’t find anyone, said it was surprising as the water was very low. The fireman captain gave me the stinkeye.
Police had left their lightbar on and the car wouldn’t start (I think that was the reason) so I helped to push.
I had to come to the police station and tell what I saw many, many times.
Only years later did I realize I was being interrogated, to find out if my story had holes. I was quite naive (dumb works too).I wasn’t drunk, depressed, or had any kind of weird fantasies that would make me want to invent a story. It’s the only time I called the cops in my life.
All cops were friendly, even though they must’ve thought I was lying or had too much imagination.
Did someone jump? Now I think not. But at the time I really thought there was a possibility, and I wouldn’t take any chances. I just didn’t realize how many people and resources would be involved.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•My GF gave me one afternoon to fix this, what do i do
0·2 months agoI was living with roommates clueless about house maintenance stuff.
So one day I explain we should purge the radiators. Did I forget to say "purge the air"? I dont know. But the bucket I told em to use to catch water spilling one roommate thought was supposed to be used to empty the radiators. I was on the computer and saw him from the corner of my eye go empty his bucket a few times before I caught on.

Battery life is bad and it really annoys me.
I think I’ll try again to fix the stick drift on my Xbox controller…

She adds little sugar, maybe that’s a reason.

Or chill, remove the mold, smell, taste, if everything seems good eat it. Inform the store.I’ve googled it just to be sure, and it’s safe.

Steam@lemmy.ml•72% of devs believe Steam has a monopoly on PC games, according to study
0·2 months ago… Am I still on lemmy?
The whole thread is a corporate talk andAppleSteam fan mix. Your first paragraph…We’re discussing a monopoly, and all I am reading is how good a product they’re making.
Shouldn’t the discussion also be about their costs, margins?
Is the market difficult to enter by its nature? How much would the users and developers benefit from more competition?And I still dont know their cut.

Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?
1·2 months agoI’m playing the sequel (I know, wrong sub). I normally never get sweaty hands. This changed because the game is so hard.
I even had to put flour on my left hand to get some grip on the thumbstick
I’m the same. But of course I do daily the parts where the sun don’t shine.
Some people really do smell more than others, with the same washing habits.
I myself prefer a slight body odor in others, even light sweat (not stink!). Although some perfumes smell really good. But that agressive deodorant smell I hate.

Both answers to @[email protected] seem to imply there’s a hidden insult in their comment, but I can’t find it. I’m the dumb cookie and I don’t like that
