- Comment on Best HDD/SSD for local media hosting 5 days ago:
Fully agree.
I’ve purchased refurb drives from both them and GoHardDrive.com. So far I’m 5/5 for a mix of Exos and HGST Ultrastar drives working perfectly out of the box.
Anytime these drives pop up on Slickdeals, the thread is full of 3 types of people: People who have never bought a refurb/recert drive but insist they are all going to burn your house down, people who have bought several with no issue, and people who have received a failing drive that the seller promptly replaced.
- Comment on House Centipedes 4 weeks ago:
That’s honestly why they creep me out the most. Spiders will generally be chilling out in a corner somewhere you expect to see them, doing their own thing, and not moving much unless directly disturbed.
Most of my experiences with centipedes involves them darting out from under a baseboard at night and scaring the shit out of me when I’m only half awake. Then by the time I realize what it was, it’s already scrambled across the floor to disappear under some other piece of furniture.

I watched the OG Jurassic Park the other weekend, and realized I haven’t thought about a triceratops in probably a decade at least.

- Comment on The $700 PS5 Pro doesn’t come with a disc drive 2 months ago:
For $700 they could at least throw in a 4k Blu-ray player.
Then again, I ponied up extra for the disc version of the original ps5 for that exact reason, only to find out the media player software is a giant piece of garbage that was clearly given no effort. So I can’t say I’m too surprised.

They also don’t have any sharp corners or break into sharp pieces,
This man has never been within 10 meters of a IRL pringle.

To be fair, kneeling is pretty much a universal sign of disrespect.
- Comment on HDD data recovery 4 months ago:
For a quick and dirty clean room run the shower really hot for a few minutes to make a bunch of steam and then wait for the humidity to naturally equalize, boom you got a few minutes to do your swap job.
I’ve never heard of this… what’s the idea behind it? That you get the RH near 100%, and any dust particles will be a nucleation point for water to condense on, causing them to literally rain out of the air?

- Comment on How does the day-to-day work of not wearing shoes in the house? 7 months ago:
Or do you actually not do this and live in a disgusting, filthy, dirt-covered house all the time?
Sadly, in my limited experience with people who wear their shoes inside by default, it has been this one.
- Comment on What's the best type of food to eat in an active shower? 9 months ago:
Something hot in an open bowl sounds like the worst food to eat in a shower TBH.
I’d go with something cold in a tune, like an ice pop. Or maybe a beer in one of those fancy insulated tumblers with a closeable lid.

Congrats and Happy New Year!
- Comment on An "almost" perfect first layer help 10 months ago:
100%
The good news is that it looks pretty uniform front to back, so the bed is actually probably close to level despite z offset being too high.
I’m actually kind of impressed with how well the lines are sticking despite how little contact area there is!
- Comment on Issue with Klipper on Creality Ender 3 S1 Plus 11 months ago:
Can you provide any more details on what is not working and what might have changed since things stopped working? There is not a lot of info to go on.
I’ve been running Klipper on a Raspberry pi with an Ender 3 S1 Pro for about 8 months with virtually zero hiccups, but I’d hardly claim to be an expert.
- Comment on Weird vase mode bulging 11 months ago:
I second callcc’s suggestions. I don’t think it’s a slicer or hardware issue, just optimizing your print parameters for the filament.
- Comment on Wi-Fi 7 to get the final seal of approval early next year, new standard is up to 4.8 times faster than Wi-Fi 6 11 months ago:
You have a point about how silly it is to scrimp on ethernet ports in new construction/remodels–wifi with a wired backhaul is unquestionably preferable to pure mesh.
But to say “wifi has nothing other than mobility” is purely asinine. It’s like saying that planes offer nothing over cars except the ability to travel faster–yeah… that’s kinda the point! Compared to the number of networked devices in the average home, there are very few current or near-future devices that could leverage even a gigabit connection fully, let alone justify a dedicated wired connection.
Streaming video needs a few 10s of Mbits tops, security cams are similar, streaming audio needs a fraction of that, your smart home devices & hubs are negligible, mobile phones and tablets downloading 100MB apps barely even blink at current wifi speeds. Even the average WFH-er is going to saturate their company’s VPN before their wifi connection struggle.
Is an ethernet connection technically better in some of those cases? Sure, but the vast majority of people would notice no functional difference aside from having to plug in a second cable.
- Comment on Weird vase mode bulging 11 months ago:
It looks like it’s happening at about the area of steepest overhang. Is it possible the bead of filament is not grabbing onto the previous layer and dragging/sagging?
Maybe try slowing down the print speed a bit and/or increasing fan speed.
- Comment on Reactionaries and inconsistency are a match made in heaven 11 months ago:
It is kind of strange how much more of a visceral reaction people have to the idea of poor people cheating the system, compared to rich people cheating the system. Logically, it seems like the latter should get people a lot more riled up, which I guess speaks to the power of their propaganda.

Isn’t that just kind of… how names are supposed to work?
- Comment on what is the correct way to use the word "backorder" in English? 11 months ago:
“Backordered” or “On backorder” are the normal usages as an adjective.
But “In backorder” would also be perfectly understandable.

- Comment on Lucid dream startup says engineers can write code in their sleep. Work may never be the same 11 months ago:
I mean, I’d be lying if I said I wouldn’t give it a try, assuming it replaced 8 hours of awake work.

Skyrim, by a longshot. That theme never failed to get me cranked get my Nordic adventuring on.
- Comment on Lucid dream startup says engineers can write code in their sleep. Work may never be the same 11 months ago:
I dunno, being able to get my 8 hours of work in AND get a full nights’ sleep at the same time, leaving 16 hours for leisure sounds awesome to me!
At least that’s how I’m choosing to believe this will play out, for the sake of my sanity.
- Comment on YSK that if your turn signal is blinking unusually fast (like 3 or more times a second), it generally means you have a bulb out. 11 months ago:
The best option would be for ongoing training for driving. Agreed 100% there!
The problem (and probably why you’re getting downvoted) is that physically using your 2-ton vehicle travelling at freeway speeds to coerce someone into doing something is not really communicating. It’s not a method prescribed by any kind of authority or training, and is actively discouraged by most! Sure it may get the result YOU want in the moment, but communication requires understanding.
Personally, if someone were to overtake me and then slow down intentionally, I’d take that as them being an inattentive driver at best, and a passive-aggressive jerk at worst.

Honestly the best solution, as with most traffic annoyances, is just to quietly curse at them as you go about your day and let the police deal with enforcing the laws.
When trying to teach someone a lesson, you might get the occasional person who was absent-mindedly being annoying, but most people are just going to come away from the interaction thinking YOU are the asshole. Not to mention the person who is being an asshole on purpose looking for confrontation…
