  Some of my friends and I in a D&D campaign managed to talk our way out of so many encounters, and heist our way through so many quests, that we started calling ourselves Ocean’s Five. It was some of the most fun I’ve had in that game, improving our way through heists and getting away with it.

  I can understand that you don’t have those in Canada, but there should be other options right? Maybe contact support?

  I think you’re on the verge of understanding the problem. You’re so close. Just trust that the guy you’re replying to isn’t an idiot and you’ll finally understand.

  Sure in the Netherlands you have options. But other places aren’t the Netherlands. Different countries have different options, but Visa, MasterCard, and PayPal work pretty much everywhere.

  I use em dashes…I think it’s sad that a proper grammatical construct is so thoroughly ignored by most people that now it’s a sign of inhumanity.

  Adolphin, eldest son of Dolphinar, would never sport a Hitler mustache. It’s not fashionable.

  I loved Descent: Freespace, but I liked X-Wing: Alliance better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You wanted the secret to getting rich? Here it is⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The difference between a billion dollars and a million dollars is about a billion dollars.

  Everyone should see this if they haven’t already.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Eksbawks⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They want to integrate Steam with the console, from the rumors I saw. They’ve already integrated Steam into the Xbox app on PC, as I understand it.

  More flexibility is a good thing. Console Game Pass and Steam on the same system? Yes please.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Eksbawks⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Since when is Xbox gone? Microsoft would be silly to kill off their console, they’d lose a pretty significant chunk of Game Pass subscribers. The rumors point to a hybrid PC/console, but it’s still an Xbox.

  Of course, Microsoft making foolish decisions would be nothing new.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨6G mobile could divide the world⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not sure where midband 5G falls, but it’s significantly faster than LTE with much more range than the millimeter wave 5G.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d recommend against it. The girls in the picture were 15 and 16 when the movie came out.

  Update: The psychiatrist who looked at her said she had too much weed -_- . I’m really disappointed in the doctor but she had finally slept and sounded more coherent then

  There might be something to that. Psychosis enhanced by weed is not unheard of. As I’ve read, weed has been shown in studies to bring out schizophrenic symptoms in people predisposed to it. Not that it causes it, just brings it out in some people.

  I say this as someone who loves weed and consumes it frequently. Just like any psychoactive chemical, it’s going to have different effects on different people. We all know alcohol causes psychosis all the fucking time but we just roll with it.

  The lack of color isn’t the default, it’s an option (an evolution of one that already have). By default everything is still colorful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple sues YouTuber who leaked iOS 26’s new “Liquid Glass” software redesign⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That example photo is with the icons set to white (or similar). By default the icons are still colorful. They showed it off during WWDC and it looks mostly good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple sues YouTuber who leaked iOS 26’s new “Liquid Glass” software redesign⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe. I suspect it will be much better than last time.

  Processing power is much better now than in 2006. Back then it was about having some blurry transparency and lots of light beams and lens flares and shit, because it was easy to layer that over stuff. This is going to be more about refraction at the edges and clarity in the centers, with frosted looks as background when needed.

  I am hopeful, it looked mostly good in the WWDC video, with only a few examples of poor legibility that hopefully will be ironed out.

  I’m personally ready to move on from the flat look as long as it remains cleaner than Frutiger Aero. I miss having depth in my UI.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gallium⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh man, so much worse. What an idiot, if they had just smiled and waved it never would’ve gone viral.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dik Piks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like it’s easier to tell English speakers to make an “eee” sound with their lips and then pronounce the vowel in question (ä, ö, ü) with the rest of their mouth (at least that’s how we do it in choral German).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Wars is an ode to the stupidest use of battle lasers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Didn’t TIE bombers bomb asteroids in TESB when Solo and crew were hiding in a giant worm? Sure looked similar, IIRC.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plant Slurs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know if this will work on brambles, but for pesky root systems I’ve had luck with Bovide’s Stump and Vine killer. You cut near the base of one of them, then paint the exposed stem with this stuff. It absorbs into the root system and kills all of it. Works great on pokeweed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plant Slurs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Other than the “not” part, yeah. “Mala” is bad, wrong, evil, wicked, ill, naughty, etc.

  (Checked this to confirm before I posted, since it’s been several years since I’ve known Spanish well enough to speak it.)

  From Dungeon Crawler Carl:

  I grumbled a bit about that three in intelligence. Yeah, I never did too great in math, but I never considered myself a slobbering idiot, either. I could fix most anything electrical after studying it for a bit. My friend Billy Maloney, now that guy was an idiot. Just last week we’d come out of a bar, and he’d peed right on a cop’s bicycle while the cop was giving someone else a ticket for drunk and disorderly. That guy deserved an intelligence of three, maybe two.

  . . .

  After I complained about my intelligence score to Mordecai, using the Billy example, he said, “Intelligence told you that bike belonged to a police officer. Wisdom told you not to urinate upon it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The End Of The Hackintosh Is Upon Us⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Uh… didn’t this happen like 7 years ago when they stopped using intel chips?

  I think they were still releasing updates for the non-Apple Silicon Macs, which meant Hackintosh was still possible.

  Also why not just buy a pc to do this diy-adjacent bullshit? Not like you can’t get Mac equivalent (or better) hardware for literally the same price these days. It’s not 2004.

  That’s what a Hackintosh is though. It’s running Mac on non-Apple hardware.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just.....why?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I cannot imagine the value to the company from whatever usage data they get from their toothbrushing app is anything close to the value they get from selling brush heads. So it would be immensely foolish to lock down the toothbrush.

  The app is a selling point, and they do it because others do. They’d lose the portion of the market that wants to track which parts of their mouth they’ve brushed properly. But that isn’t their main market, and they’d be idiots to kill their product chasing that niche.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just.....why?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If it’s anything like mine, it works just fine without the app. The app just does brush tracking and shit. I don’t need any of that, so I never set it up. But I suspect even if I had, it would still let me use it without being logged into the app.

  I suspect the same is true here. That the function of the toothbrush is available regardless of whether it’s logging data to your phone.

  fidely

  I don’t want to be that guy but I suspect you mean “fiddly,” whose spelling derives from “fiddle.”

  I only mention it because it took me a bit to figure out what you were saying.

  Oh yeah, I’m big on the wireless chargers. Especially with the magnetic alignment in qi2 charging.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Samsung phones can survive twice as many charges as Pixel and iPhone, according to EU data⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Try cleaning out the USB-C port. Lint gets compacted in there and it can prevent the plug from seating correctly. Most charging problems I’ve had were resolved by scraping the lint out of the port, with a plastic floss pick thing or an unbent staple. Careful not to damage the contacts though.

  I tried ordering a portion of a guy’s crop before it grew. Sadly the crop failed and I was refunded. I really want to try a gros michel.
