- Comment on No Google Cloud for 12 hours due to power outage. 3 weeks ago:
Companies are made up of people. Companies save money by firing the most expensive people, the most experienced. The ones left have a lot less experience.
- Comment on WhatsApp is making a massive change to the way it saves your contacts 4 weeks ago:
Everyone I know has their contacts backed up to google or apple. Enter your account and password into your new phone and your contacts are there. Zero benefit.

Thanks, I probably will change soon, but I have to convince my partner first…

I struggle with this all the time. I hate watching cute piggy videos because I remember them next time I eat bacon.
- Comment on Market operator issues first-ever low-demand warning as solar 'juggernaut' risks grid overload 1 month ago:
Yeah… Usually I just check the price to see if I can sauna or not. It’s by far the biggest user of power in my apartment.
- Comment on Market operator issues first-ever low-demand warning as solar 'juggernaut' risks grid overload 1 month ago:
Aussie in Finland here. We have an electricity system here with “spot price”. I get charged a price per kWh depending on the forecasted supply (from producers) and demand (from history and other math) and it changes every hour. At the time of writing this it is 0.60 c/kWh (+margin+transmission+taxes for a total of 7.87c/kWh).
When demand is higher, like winter, and supply is lower (maintenance or faults or no wind), the price can go up to 30-50c, but when there is plenty of power about the energy price can go into negatives.
This makes an effect on usage and stabilises the system. But probably too hard to set up.

I got a ban on Facebook for using the word “fatty”. Didn’t matter I was talking about the breakdown of fatty acids in digestion, because “fatty” is bad.
- Comment on Headlamp tech that doesn’t blind oncoming drivers—where is it? 1 month ago:
And to all the cyclists who use a bright led lamp on their handlebar, remember to also point them down, not straight ahead. I’ve been blinded as a pedestrian and a driver by cyclists who don’t position their lights correctly.
- Comment on Would you consider making a sandwich to be "cooking?" 1 month ago:
You can grow your wheat, and raise pigs, but to really make it from scratch, first you need to create the universe.
- Comment on Someone got woken up on Sunday morning 🤣 2 months ago:
I once wanted a Harley. The name was synonymous with manliness and freedom.
Now I see that they only have the image of manliness, and the owners are people who need to be assured that they are manly.
If I ride again, I’m getting an electric bike.

It’s a beautiful day, in my ass

Hi, I’m a chef. I’m just playing around with raspberry pis and stuff. I just like learning and seeing what I can do.

Better product, and better service. Not better on the price, but it was asked for one out of three.

Why does eastern Europe get less sunlight?
- Comment on Nuclear too slow to replace coal, and baseload “simply can’t compete” with wind and solar, AEMO boss says 4 months ago:
Which countries? The UK is famous for its cloudy weather, yet solar is feasible there. Finland and Sweden are building more and more solar. Not sure where you’re talking about.

My grandma used to water the garden around the house and spray water over the roof on hot days. Try that first.

Might makes right.
- Comment on Could anyone explain the linguistics around the word "shit"? 4 months ago:
And don’t forget the division. A piece of shit, is bad, like a car that won’t start, or a selfish person. A big piece of shit or a huge piece of shit is worse, but it’s never a whole shit, because then it would be The shit, and good.

- Comment on MIT Students Stole $25 Million In Seconds By Exploiting ETH Blockchain Bug, DOJ Says 6 months ago:
The people with money make the laws. They want to protect their money above all else, so crimes against their money are punished more harshly than others. Note this doesn’t happen when people with money steal from poor people en masse.
- Comment on The teens making friends with AI chatbots 6 months ago:
Indeed, the potential consequences are concerning. Addiction to AI-driven technologies is a real issue, especially when they become ubiquitous. Utilizing local AI for mental health support could indeed mitigate some risks. However, we must proceed cautiously to navigate the complexities of integrating AI into our daily lives. And yes, envisioning a world where everyone converses like language models is both fascinating and slightly eerie.

So, you’re saying, if I borrow my friend’s Spotify, and block most of their favourite artists, they won’t know what I’ve done or how to undo it?
- Comment on Google layoffs: Sundar Pichai-led company fires entire Python team for ‘cheaper labour’ 6 months ago:
And as far as I’ve been led to believe, workers in the USA will be bullied into not taking any time off. Germans will take their entitled holidays and use sick leave when they are sick.
