Maybe he doesn’t mention it cause it’s all dinged up since he’s shit at parking. Thinking you’re a god means fuck off fuck off in parallel

I’ve been thinking about a wicked strong spotlight aimed back, if you want to show me your bright lights up close I’ll show you mine
- Comment on Learning to drive 3 days ago:
We had a 70s F-350 flatbed with no power steering for hauling stuff around the farm. Actually driving the truck was as much of a workout as loading the bed

Having hypothetically done similar things with work printers, there’s also a lesson to be learned about not using too much paper and ink in one go, space it out over a few restocks.

Battery tech is the new fusion, just 10 years away!
- Comment on Weeks of research 1 week ago:
I think Soldier Boy is Cap, Homelander is capitalist American (whom the Nazis took a lot of inspiration from) Superman. In any case the satire is well and truly lost on the people it’s aimed at.

Also DOS, the single button on the Mac mouse was a whole new way of using a computer.
- Comment on My collection is growing 1 week ago:
I bought a $15 cordless screwdriver for this exact reason and it’s great. No need to drag out the whole 18v drill but it makes fastening things much quicker and the built in torque limiter means I can cinch every bolt in a chair up to the same spec easily.
- Comment on Apple is reportedly getting ready to introduce ads to its Maps app 2 weeks ago:
I experienced the same glitches that everyone else did when it first launched but it’s been perfectly fine for years. My gf’s android Google Maps will routinely have us make several turns just to end up on the same road we were already traveling on so navigation is done on my phone and the playlist on hers.
- Comment on After police used Flock cameras to accuse a Denver woman of theft, she had to prove her own innocence 2 weeks ago:
Because she’s 6 months old and still learning to socialize, so people immediately turning and speeding away does not help. If people could suspend their judgement of someone as a threat long enough to recognize a puppy and let her say hello, then it’s completely fine but thank you for the training tips.

As the owner of a German shepherd who just REALLY wants to make friends and play with everyone she meets…it’s depressing how many people see a big cop dog and immediately walk away when she barks

Saw the menu was typed in Papyrus and went ape shit, flipping tables and throwing chairs.
- Comment on Data Centers Turn to Aviation Engines for Power Solutions 3 weeks ago:
As much as I hate calling LLMs “AI” and the recent surge in its use and production, why hasn’t any of these brilliant machines told their owners about nuclear power? We figured out how to rub spicy rocks together and generate power without the need to light anything on fire a long time ago.

Oh I think it should be a day where the boss does the actual job and shows us why they’re boss
- Comment on You missed a spot 4 weeks ago:
Also had the VHS and watched it constantly. I drink a ton of water after living in the desert for years and still think of Kitana saying “use the element that brings life” occasionally while topping off my bottle. Said it to my gf once when she was poking fun at me for filling my bottle again so soon and she had no clue what I was talking about so that joke flew like a penguin
- Comment on Software update bricks some Jeep 4xe hybrids over the weekend 4 weeks ago:
My push to start has an RFID slot for the key so even if the fob battery dies it still will recognize and start, push to start may be convenient but I’m more worried about adding additional wires between ignition switch and battery/starter. I absolutely do not want my vehicle connected to the internet, I want gas brake and steering, OTA updates are just a terrible idea

I worked for AAA during this program and literally every single weekend someone would take a car up into the mountains or down the coast and lose cell service…which would then brick the car and leave them stranded in the woods with a Prius they couldn’t even open to get inside. Add fires (thanks PG&E) and mudslides and it was a massive clusterfuck just getting a tow truck to them, which could take hours or days

Agreed, my favorite doctor after Bones, although it does hurt my heart a bit to see him old like Riker in Picard. I recently restarted TNG and they put Bones in old man makeup for the handoff episode…time itself is enough :(

In Baldurs Gate 3 the controller vibrates when you’re choosing a target to cast a spell on, you could just hit R1 and leave it there…
- Comment on Doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results is not the definition of insanity. It's the definition of practice. 1 month ago:
Ehh, I get what you’re saying but…that’s iteration, improvement, development
Practice is rehearsing the same move over and over, the phrase “practice like you play” exists for that reason. It is by definition, repetition.

Burr continues Carlin’s legacy of walking around with both middle fingers up to society, he’s one of the few left I trust would take a deep inhale before shouting FUCK YOU! straight into the face of the big mango if they met
Fuck you, piece of shit

Yo ho ho matey. Ironically, it was location/blackout restrictions on stuff like NHL tv that I was willing to pay for but simply couldn’t watch that led me down the path of free live streams. The business screwed themselves out of a subscriber with their own DRM
