Peanut President posted:it's not the "close doors" buttons that are placebos it's the "push for walk" buttons at crosswalks In many large cities, the button does nothing, but there are plenty of smaller cities and suburban areas where you will never get to walk without it. Salt Lake City isn’t going to lengthen all their signal phases on the off chance that someone wants to walk across eight lanes of traffic this time. If typical phase only needs to last long enough for a few cars to make a left off the side street, that’s all you’ll get. Platystemon has issued a correction as of 23:46 on Jun 14, 2020 |

My last long time place of employment had an elevator where if you held in the button for what floor you wanted for 11 seconds it would skip all other floors. It was apparently meant to be for management only because the boss flew off her loving handle when she saw us peasants using it. BECAUSE WHAT IF SHE HAD IMPORTANT poo poo TO DO AND HAD TO SPEND AN EXTRA THIRTY SECONDS IN AN ELEVATOR??? Disregarding the fact that we were the only ones clocked on loving everything and her day was spent mostly massaging the numbers to look good until lunch (11-1) and then disappear.. She's now the "president" of our parliament.

hobbesmaster posted:they do in the US too, but elevators can be configured with a minimum open time which is why it’s commonly thought they don’t do anything they will also automatically close on their own after that preset time you need the magic janitor key for the button to actually work https://www.sciencealert.com/the-close-door-buttons-in-elevators-don-t-actually-do-anything

They buttons work here in Canada with every elevator I've seen. Don't touch it, doors stay open for 8 seconds, push it and you can halve that time.

quote:The reason behind the neutering of the 'close door' button in elevators is actually pretty cool. In the US, when the Americans With Disabilities Act was passed in 1990, it meant that elevators had to ensure that someone with a disability had time to get inside.

Cabbages and Kings posted:Isn't there some kind of coronavirus that's essentially a death sentence for cats? Friend of a friend had a cat get diagnosed, found out there's some weird experimental antiviral that can usually save the cat, found out there's a FB group that gets custom synthesis from China. But, the shipping time is such that you'll never get it in time to save your cat, so instead it's like a chain letter where someone else from the group sends you experimental antivirals while you order from China, you treat your cat and then you pay it forward. Are pay‐it‐forward experimental  cyberpunk enough for this thread?

Gangstalking! Funny part is I wonder how many of these threats I'd ever even notice - getting unordered books, flowers, and bloody masks isn't that unusual. Similarly, neighbors getting misaddressed porn probably isn't unusual - you'd need to ask them.

I'm not surprised by that. Ebay treats sellers like poo poo all the time. It's like a garage sale run by frat boys.

Elevator chat: Im doing a project management Diploma. many of the people in the class are people like me - working a job, want more skills/thrown into a project role for training purposes. One girl works at an elevator company. their new product is a smart elevator. The concept is that you can bluetooth your own music to the elevator and operate the elevator with your phone (for example to prevent touching buttons during a pandemic) and control the lighting in the elevator. the entire class spent the next 30 minutes making GBS threads all over the idea for all of the immediately-obvious-to-everyone-but-the-company reasons: -who the gently caress wants to bluetooth to the elevator? -an elevator ride is like 30 seconds at the most who the gently caress needs their own music in the elevator? -why would i want an app on my phone for the elevator that needs location services? -how does it work if you live close to the lift? every time it goes past your floor does it snag your bluetooth connection? she hasnt been back to class since. I know the product doesnt have to be a good product and just has to get idiots to buy them, but jesus christ I dont know how they think they can be so overt with a terrible product Laserface has issued a correction as of 02:00 on Jun 17, 2020 |

Being the CEO of a tech company must be fun. Just get drunk and toss out any idea, no matter how ridiculous and some VC people will come in and throw money at it. An escalator that syncs with your phone and tells you how fat you are. Facial recognition software, for dogs. Bitcoins that you can 3D print
