Best Buy Membership "discount" (lemmy.world)

So I was shopping with my wife today and I said "oh let's see if my membership helps out." So we went and added the same item to each of our carts, and to our surprise, the total was the same! So what is it exactly that I'm paying for in this membership if the items "original price" is higher for me than it is for regular...

You can still get a deal on occasion at Best Buy, but you have to be careful and you have to be ready to walk away.

Good advice!

It is! It's my first Lego set as an adult, my gf dragged me to the Lego store and she got the Galaxy picture frame while I got this one.

Building it was a blast, and the latch and release mechanism is really cool! It does have a bit of a flaw IMO with the right side panel at the back of the camera (opposite to the viewfinder) which has a tendency to detach when touched.

Which set would you recommend I pick up next?

isVeryLoud OP ,
@isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca avatar

That's what I figured out once I finished the set, at this point in the build you are not instructed to use the picture cards, but if you did, you could totally shoot them out if the "mouth" of the enclosure isn't latched.

Yeah the panel is properly attached, it's just probably the 20th time the pink 1x2 flat piece detaches itself from the grey corner wing piece inside the model :P

Thanks for the brickset tip, I'll keep an eye on it!

Either or works, we're not that precise

GTK4 has issues with some touch screens that causes the UI to lock up until the user pushes esc. No idea why.

This is the origin of the meme, it's been a way to troll people ever since.

No no, don't worry, all I see is **********. YOU see your password, but everyone else sees asterisks :)

Who knows, but such trolling did happen a lot on IRC.

Another good one was everyone in the chat room agreeing to send single spaces to troll other users into repeatedly restarting and troubleshooting their IRC clients because they thought something was wrong with their fonts.

I'm really annoyed by how much Brave Search is pushing AI

I've been using Brave Search supplemented by Startpage for the past 2+ years. When I search for something, I want to get results for credible webpages, not a summary of unknown quality. I liked the previous AI inclusion because it was instant, didn't take up much space, and I could quickly navigate to the websites referenced in...

I gotta play that game again, thanks for the reminder!

Macaroni is usually elbow pasta as far as I'm aware, and penne is a tubular pasta with slanted openings.

Also Macaroni, Macaron and Macaroon are all etymologically related words!

Wait I'm curious about the foot shortening thing. How and why?

...you do know what GmbH stands for, right?

It's like LLC or Corp.

Thanks for the context, I wasn't aware, that's pretty funny!

Funnily enough, In French, Canoe is actually pronounced more or less like "volcano", just more like cah-noe

Some Canadians are just cosplaying as Americans.

    Apparently I somehow managed to send it to your lemmy.world account, whoops. I'll send it again if you can't access it!
