But it’s only a mirror in one of those two ways.
- Comment on Forget cereal bars, what's your flavor of drug in the morning? 4 days ago:
I wouldn’t, but I wouldn’t say someone else was wrong if they did.

A lot of the nicotine in products like these is made from tobacco. Some of it is synthetic nicotine, some is plant-derived.
I couldn’t find statistics but at least some companies have different product names for synthetic vs natural.
e.g. “VELO” is plant-derived while “VELO Plus” is synthetic.

For me that list is pretty short and I am unlikely to actually be in a situation to sit back and enjoy.

Ah yes if we just keep using a new synonym every time, that means we have to start all legal arguments from scratch.
- Comment on Save as PDF 4 weeks ago:
Im not so sure. I bet more than half of the drivers out there produce PCL output, and there are a lot of printers that use other languages too like ZPL and a myriad of others.

You know you can break those units into smaller units right?
Also most thermometers are only accurate to about +/- 2 degrees F anyway.
- Comment on Pirates director Gore Verbinski is iffy on Unreal Engine in movies: "I think it doesn’t work from a strictly photo-real standpoint" 1 month ago:
To be clear they were not talking about the porn.
But, as porn movies go it was very well-made, maybe worth a watch but not for the CGI.
- Comment on YSK - All song birds on the planet are descended from ancestors in Australia. 1 month ago:
- If that’s so, then that’s not what you said. You said “plants keep evolving into trees”. While it’s true that we give the name “trees” to a variety of plants with different genetics, all of them share a common ancestor: otherwise they wouldn’t be plants but something else.
- Comment on YSK - All song birds on the planet are descended from ancestors in Australia. 1 month ago:
There’s a single origin for everything. It doesn’t matter how many times the descendants of that common ancestor have diverged and reconverged.

Hmm, Pirates was directed by Joone.
I’m guessing they meant to write Pirates of the Caribbean

Nah, that was the fascists prior to trump.

The problem is not lack of training. This isn’t a “whoopsie-poopsie”. They’re doing it on purpose and if someone looks brown enough they get kidnapped. With luck they get released later.

He needs to go there personally to break ground though.

- Comment on GOG's new owner says Steam is winning due to ease of use, not quality, while criticizing the platform for releasing hundreds of games daily that are "not super high quality" 1 month ago:
Thanks, good to know. I split between DDG and Kagi, not entirely happy with either.
I miss the old google.

Not using Kagi anymore? What have you moved on to?

- Comment on Hard choices. Who would you choose? 1 month ago:
Then you already know your answer to “are there any female dog companions in cartoons?”
- Comment on Hard choices. Who would you choose? 1 month ago:
You mentioned Blue’s Clues but you ignored the main character? Or do you not consider Blue as a “dog companion”?
- Comment on Bose open-sources its SoundTouch home theater smart speakers ahead of end-of-life 1 month ago:
Well, yeah. That’s what the spectrum is.
Low end: “you can see the source but can’t do anything with it” (questionable whether this counts as open source at all)
High end “do what you want, it’s literally yours” (public domain).
One can debate where the low boundary of “open source” is, or what makes one license more or less free than another, but the spectrum is the range of limitations.
- Comment on Bose open-sources its SoundTouch home theater smart speakers ahead of end-of-life 1 month ago:
It is a spectrum (MIT vs GPL vs APL for example) but this is outside that spectrum.
- Comment on 'Microslop' is heading for Edge – major browser redesign is inspired by Copilot, and it's already seriously unpopular 1 month ago:
Don’t have to worry about that, win11 isn’t reliable enough for that.
We had a similar situation for a voicemail system though.
