- Comment on tall tails 1 day ago:
I mean, no?
You can see no vertical protrusions of the vertebrae so there’s going to be A: vertical movement as muscles can best attach to pull up/down. And B: a likely flat structural rail with how wide the horizontal protrusions are. C: nothing sharp or heavily weighted at the end so likely not a huge weaponised tail like a thagomizer. So… you’ve got a probably flat tail, than can slam down on stuff.
Now figuring out WHY it was like that would require being able to find fossils around rivers and being able to tell those rivers had dams or something cuz idk how they would figure out exactly how they use their tails but… yeah you can figure the general shape fine based on vertebrae anatomy which leads to (possible)muscle anatomy. Some bones don’t function the way they look and can throw stuff off. Someone else already mentioned stuff like air sacks in birds and such that would really throw off anatomy based on bone and assumed muscular structure from where bones could have attached muscles.
- Comment on tall tails 1 day ago:
I mean… you can see the processes (bony protrusions on the vertebrae) are long and flat and only transverse (sticking out the sides, not up/down) so… it would be pretty obvious it was a flat tail? Sure maybe they might not get that it wasn’t fuzzy without any fossils if it, and maybe they make it slightly less round, but they’re scientists not idiots. Yeah some has come a long way and some older models sucked sure but it ain’t like we are vibe coding their appearance.

Could you… explain how it’s funny?
Cuz… what?
There’s a big difference between seeing someone with major camel toe and laughing about it vs this weird creepy predator shit.
- Comment on Aspergers officinalis 4 weeks ago:
That’s probably right. I think they become recognizable as asperagus around 2 years in. We had some, about two years in when were in a mobile home park. Swapped owners so they hired new lawn keepers… who fucking killed them right when they were almost harvestable god I was so mad.
- Comment on Aspergers officinalis 4 weeks ago:
Oh no that’s not even them as babies. That’s like two years in.
This is baby asparagus. It takes forever to develop to actual asperagus stage.

lol I mean, I’m sure it’s probably still cool, and books are meant to be swapped out not taken to read on the beach and returned, but I feel the hotel or parking lot would’ve been a better area lol.
- Comment on Great idea 2 months ago:
Fucking horrible idea books do not like humidity. Especially not being handled by actively wet salty people.

- Comment on Your sea crits are safe with me. 2 months ago:
So they’re called sea crits because we only have identified 5%, which is 1/20… aka the only way we find sea crits is by rolling a nat 20?
- Comment on Anker is recalling over 1.1 million power banks due to fire and burn risks 2 months ago:
19/1000000 is not that bad. I mean Tesla didn’t do a recall and I’m certain their cyber trucks have a worse track record.
Saying something is more reliable than ass isn’t bad, it’s more him being surprised anker actually bothering to because plenty of companies have worse products that don’t get recalled.
- Comment on ChatGPT 'got absolutely wrecked' by Atari 2600 in beginner's chess match — OpenAI's newest model bamboozled by 1970s logic 2 months ago:
Okay I maybe exaggerated a bit, but a lot of people think it actually knows things, or is actually smart. Which… it’s not… at all. It’s just pattern recognition. Which was I assume the point of showing it can’t even beat the goddamn Atari because it cannot think or reason, it’s all just copy pasta and pattern recognition.

I think that’s generally the point is most people thing chat GPT is this sentient thing that knows everything and… no.
- Comment on Kids are short-circuiting their school-issued Chromebooks for TikTok clout 4 months ago:
It can be an issue with the people starting these challenges while also being an issue with the way tiktok works with sharing these copycat videos on the platforms algorithm.
I don’t think “omg tiktok bad” but in the case of these dumb challenges, it is one of the few things I can see people actually pointing at when saying tiktok is bad, rather than “but china.”
- Comment on Kids are short-circuiting their school-issued Chromebooks for TikTok clout 4 months ago:
Yes but without tik tok this is a kid or two being stupid and charged a couple hundred at one school. I think we had 3 kids today at school destroy their laptops.
- Comment on Palworld devs confirm game changes due to the Nintendo / Pokemon lawsuit 4 months ago:
Wish every MMO to ever have flying mounts would sue the fuck out of Nintendo over this, as Nintendo claiming they invented that shit is fucked up.
- Comment on This game has 100 endings, and it's pushing the creators to the brink of bankruptcy | PC Gamer 4 months ago:
I mean… I can’t imagine it being that much more expensive than Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous? Idk if this is a management issue or a funding issue or what. But it sounds cool so I mean I’ll maybe check it out at least
- Comment on Chrono Trigger Remake Seemingly Confirmed By Yuji Horii 4 months ago:
Honestly I would be happy if they basically made it into a Tales Of game as that’s already got dual/triple techs basically, it’s got overworld vs regular maps. It is very close to what a more modern Chrono Trigger would be. I would rather keep the original battle system but I wouldn’t be too mad. They could add all the little party talking cutscene things like in those to add more stuff without having to go crazy on the story.
- Comment on Chrono Trigger Remake Seemingly Confirmed By Yuji Horii 4 months ago:
Yeah it’s not the 3D I have issue with lol. Please don’t fuck up the story and make this another fucking kingdom hearts.
- Comment on Chrono Trigger Remake Seemingly Confirmed By Yuji Horii 4 months ago:
I’d much rather they don’t FF7 it.

- Comment on Downtime - Apologies and what went wrong 5 months ago:
Hey you’ve done a ton for all of us and I can’t thank you enough for the work and dedication. Don’t be too hard on yourself, your child and well being are both important, it’s fine. I’d rather some downtime than losing you as admin. Pretty sure most on the sever would agree.
- Comment on Switch 2 GameCube controller will only be offered to those who pre-order the console 5 months ago:
I mean, there’s plenty of reasons to not like Nintendo, but this whole thing is because the GameCube coming to their Online subscription. So I mean… it makes sense.
- Comment on YouTube removes 'gender identity' from hate speech policy 5 months ago:
“you’re not a leftist unless you have daddies money to support you wasting 100 hours on a 20m video.” Certainly is… a take. But anyways, I’m not even talking about being leftist or not or whatever. I just mean, people. Period. It’s not selfish to want to get paid for making something. People need money to live.
Are there content creators who fucking suck? Yes. But there’s also ones that don’t. They’re allowed to make money.
- Comment on YouTube removes 'gender identity' from hate speech policy 5 months ago:
I mean, sure but we are past that. No large YouTuber will give up getting paid, and go to a system with a much smaller user base so even stuff like affiliate links and sponsorships are worth less. Basically double lose money just to join peertube. Especially since most large YouTubers have a team of people who they pay, so they cannot afford for their employees sake to take such a large loss just to support peertube.
More likely this leads to Vimeo, or like twitch TikTok or something else being able to support a normal video platform than it leads to people using peertube.

I mean cooking was my interest for the other. Doesn’t need to be cooking. Kinda figured this was probably just fine and not particularly good or bad. Now that solo leveling and Zenshu are over I was looking at something else to fill the gap.

This show any good? The visual makes it look like a bad furry harem anime so like I did not bother, but I enjoyed campfire cooking. Probably mostly as a food show tho lol.
- Comment on Tech jobs are now white collar trades that need apprentices 6 months ago:
That’s the biggest problem with learning tech from a college: developing, vetting, publishing, and adopting curriculum all take a good chunk of time. More time than it takes for new tech to arise.
It’s not hard to see going to trainings/expos/etc. on new/current/upcoming tech while working at a business is going to be a lot more useful than learning 5-20 year old tech in college.
- Comment on Tech jobs are now white collar trades that need apprentices 6 months ago:
What you mean with things that advance continually but also every business uses a different solution you can’t expect someone who have a perfect understanding of 6976 different possible solutions used coming out of college? What are we even teaching these kids if not every possible current and legacy software of any possible IT application and the differences between each version of each. Geez.
