- Comment on YSK what is really happening when Dish/DirecTV (et al) and your local news have beef with each other 12 hours ago:
I don’t watch DIRECTV, dish, or the local news. They can fight over what’s left of satellite and cable tv all they want.

As do the Roku TCL models. I currently have mine disconnected and plan to keep it that way.

Disconnecting is already being marketed and sold.
- Comment on Solar panel reimbursements to remain low under California appeals court ruling 1 day ago:
Do you want people installing batteries and not selling you back excess energy? Because that’s what will happen with policies like this. People will eventually disconnect from the grid completely, and the have nots will be stuck with high energy prices (while the AI data centers will be given a rate discount).
- Comment on YouTube ads are about to get even longer and they’ll be unskippable 1 day ago:
Pure greed.
- Comment on Middle East war strengthens case for renewables, say clean energy experts 2 days ago:
No duh. We go through this every four years. Then people return to importing natural gas and buying gas guzzling SUVs. Memories seem to be quite short.
- Comment on First darn (and first time using a darning loom) 3 days ago:
It’s amazing that people used to do this regularly. Especially during WWII. That looks like a lot of work.
- Comment on 10% of Firefox crashes are caused by bitflips 6 days ago:
Wouldn’t that mean ten percent of all crashes in all apps would be caused by bit flips? What makes Firefox special?

- Comment on Chris Bowen urges motorists not to panic-buy petrol 1 week ago:
The world seems to go through this cycle every four years. People buy huge gas guzzling SUVs, war breaks out in the Middle East, gas prices skyrocket, everyone complains and panics. You’d think people would have caught on by now.
- Comment on Most Reform UK members believe non-white British citizens should be forced or encouraged to leave, poll finds 1 week ago:
Don’t get complacent. Vote. Make sure your friends vote. Looked at what’s happening in the US.
- Comment on Charter gets FCC permission to buy Cox and become largest ISP in the US 1 week ago:
Maybe they should compete directly most places. Maybe that’s the problem. 🤔
- Comment on Biggest Source of Electricity In Each U.S. State and Canadian Province (2025) 2 weeks ago:
Same problem with Texas. Large empty swaths of sunny West Texas are perfect for solar and wind, which generate more and more of the grid’s needs. But when the natural gas lines froze up one winter, and renewables kept things going, the Republican administration blamed solar and wind for the loss of electricity, not gas. Just making stuff up to support their strange love of fossil fuels.
- Comment on Texas becomes leading test ground for small nuclear reactors 3 weeks ago:
I’ll believe it when I see it. This is the state that fracked everything and then spread its radioactive, pfas-infested fracking waste all over the land. Now they’re building elementary schools on top of it.
- Comment on Texas becomes leading test ground for small nuclear reactors 3 weeks ago:
And who will handle the waste product? And who will pay for handling the waste product?
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
Because of course they did. Not only did they think this was a good idea, they patented it! Ghouls.
- Comment on Kate Mulgrew Defends ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ And Captain Ake From “Disrespectful” Online Attacks 3 weeks ago:
Just pointing out that the crew often goes flying around the bridge quite often in Star Trek, despite the “inertial dampeners” and I think someone sitting sideways in a chair probably wouldn’t fare too well in that situation. And that the slick mop-n-glo floors probably won’t help either. Thought used to go into the design of these ships, but now it’s all about “make it shiny and futuristic looking!” But honestly I think it would build some character into the show if it actually happened and Hunter’s captain had a good laugh about it.

Whoosh.

Just remember, Star Trek ships don’t have seat belts. Gonna be fun when someone slams on the brakes and Captain slouchy goes flying out of her chair, across the freshly waxed floor, and into the viewscreen. At least the nextgen crew knew to put carpet on the floors.
- Comment on Ring’s Flock breakup doesn’t fix its real problem 3 weeks ago:
Ring might be the devil, but you’re probably going to want a security camera pointed at your front door if/when ICE comes calling.

Propublica?
- Comment on Ars Technica makes up quotes from Matplotlib maintainer("An AI Agent Published a Hit Piece on Me"); pulls story 3 weeks ago:
It’s been going downhill for some time. I think the Condé Nast investment pretty much killed it. The last site redesign that didn’t work correctly and made things unreadable was the last straw for me. I took it out of my rotation of “daily reads” and haven’t missed it.
- Comment on DHS Orders Tech Giants to Unmask Anti-ICE Accounts 3 weeks ago:
The people in charge are the same group that pulled solar panels off the roof of the White House in 1986. This has been going on a long time.

Next up, no more hot dogs that don’t contain dog. No hamburgers that don’t contain ham.
- Comment on An ice dance duo skated to AI music at the Olympics | TechCrunch 4 weeks ago:
And then the orchestra that recorded it would possibly sue them for copyright infringement. Just because the sheet music is out of copyright doesn’t mean the recording is.
Maybe they could dig through some old 78s or hire a piano player to work around that.
