“Slammed!”
Ya know, I don’t know anyone who uses that phrase outside of headline writing.
- Comment on I tried to make the ultimate Commodore 1702 monitor 3 days ago:
Why not just slip in an LCD panel at this point?
- Comment on We need faster speed limits in Australia - and I'm not saying that because I'm a hoon | Opinion - Car News 4 days ago:
Faster speed limits mean higher insurance premiums.
- Comment on Oracle and Microsoft are reportedly in talks to take over TikTok 4 days ago:
Barf.
- Comment on Were Sony and Microsoft Truly Worried About The Google Stadia? 5 days ago:
Sounds like a lot of Google products.
- Comment on Sjaak's Commodore SX-64 Upgrades Really Deliver on the "Executive" Promise 5 days ago:
I remember the first time I saw one of these as a kid. I was amazed, but there was no way I could afford it.
- Comment on "Section 31" early review round-up 6 days ago:
I’m still pissed they killed off Hemmer. And I refuse to watch the dancing/singing episode. 🙄
SNW is successful in spite of itself.

- Comment on The Stars of Star Trek: Section 31 Know Why You're Nervous About the Movie 1 week ago:
I think the dark humor is what kills this for me. A “mission impossible” style spy show set in the Star Trek universe would be fine. An empress from the mirror universe who gets her kicks killing and eating people isn’t anything I’m interested in.
- Comment on Sweden is Building the World’s Largest City Made Entirely From Timber 1 week ago:
Sounds flammable.
- Comment on How Windows got to version 3 – an illustrated history 1 week ago:
Windows actually had some decent competition until windows 3.1. There was GEOS and GEM for example. There were even competitors to Office like WordPerfect and Lotus 1 2 3.
I’m guessing Windows 3 finally had a decent set of APIs for app manufacturers to take advantage of. Or maybe Microsoft was better at including drivers by then or something.
- Comment on Microsoft bundles Office AI features into Microsoft 365 and raises prices 1 week ago:
So will business customers be able to disable the AI “features”?
- Comment on What’s with Sci-Fi and Commemorative Plates? 1 week ago:
I once saw an entire “Bold and the Beautiful” commemorative soap opera dish set at a thrift store.
- Comment on Apple Bug Allows Security Bypass Without Physical Access 2 weeks ago:
Apple bug that’s already patched/fixed.
- Comment on BMW’s new iDrive turns the whole windshield into a heads-up display 3 weeks ago:
A loooong time ago there was a car commercial about tech a company was working on where one of the features was an infra-red heads up display. At night you would see wildlife and other warm blooded animals (like humans) light up on your windshield. That way you could see if something or someone was about to cross in front of you from the side of the road. I wish someone would make that happen.
- Comment on Discovery Plus is raising its prices 3 weeks ago:
Check your cell provider for free tv benefits. Hulu is included for free with some accounts on t-mobile in the US for example. And Hulu carries Shogun.
- Comment on Discovery Plus is raising its prices 3 weeks ago:
😆 It wasn’t even worth paying for at the previous lower price.
- Comment on How Star Trek: Lower Decks Managed To Get Enterprise’s Jolene Blalock To Appear, And Why She’s Only Credited By Her First Name 3 weeks ago:
Don’t care what anyone else says — she was great on Enterprise.
- Comment on We like music because our brains crave pattern recognition. 4 weeks ago:
We like music because it acts like a pleasurable drug. Probably something hormonal that is connected to mating (like birds do with bird song).
- Comment on Microsoft is really serious about giving more products Copilot name on Windows 11 4 weeks ago:
Both of those icons are so meaningless. Icon design seems to be a lost art.
- Comment on Solving renewable energy’s sticky storage problem 5 weeks ago:
Meh. plenty of storage options, sodium ion batteries being a cheaper one. Having more energy than you need is a good problem to have.
- Comment on TagEnergy and Tesla Break Ground on France’s Largest Battery Energy Storage Project 1 month ago:
I wish governments would realize that spreading small battery installations around neighborhoods works better than building a huge centralized backup facility like this.
- Comment on Junk food ad ban legislation progresses to curb childhood obesity 1 month ago:
Tax the junk. This deters people from buying it and helps to offset healthcare costs.
- Comment on Northvolt collapse leaves EU taxpayer on the hook for €293m 2 months ago:
It is bizarre to me how many solar and EV-related companies have gone bankrupt considering the demand.
- Comment on Firefighters Struggle to Break the Tesla Cybertruck’s “Transparent Metal” Glass During Emergency Response Training 2 months ago:
Does the Cybertruck also include the Tesla door handles with the hidden manual release mechanism?
- Comment on EU grocery shoppers 'fooled' by 'maze' of food labels: audit 2 months ago:
Do EU goods have a nutrition label similar to the US? Pretty easy to look at the ingredients here as well as percentages of things like protein, fiber, fat, and added sugars.
- Comment on KFC drops pledge to stop using ‘Frankenchickens’ in the UK 2 months ago:
It didn’t always. It’s sad what it has become. There a reason “fast casual” chains are doing better than fast food.
- Comment on Data centers powering artificial intelligence could use more electricity than entire cities 2 months ago:
If that’s what they want, then make them pay for it. No subsidies for this bullshit.
- Comment on TV Time points to Apple's 'significant power' over developers after being removed from App Store | TechCrunch 2 months ago:
That suspiciously looks like something you could ship as a web app.
- Comment on California utilities scapegoat rooftop solar for high electricity rates 2 months ago:
Just keep pulling this nonsense and people will hog all that low cost electricity for themselves. Why should I pay utilities to take it when backup battery prices are getting cheaper?
