  I asked on that point because I didn’t know, so thanks for answer. People are used to driving ICE cars near reserve so it will take time till they learn to not do this with EVs xD

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #3214: Electric Vehicles⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I am asking because I worked in gas station in Poland and we had backup generator. xD

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #3214: Electric Vehicles⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  My arguments against EV, not sorted by anything:

  1. It’s comfy to feel and hear working engine.
  2. I really dislike automatic gearbox. It feels as if I lost part of control over vehicle and I kinda need it to not go autopilot. Like, me going autopilot, not car.
  3. EV’s seem best for richer people than me living in houses where they can charge them up - charging from station still is pricer than gasoline.
  4. I can have emergency gas can in the car and if something happen, it will buy me enough range to reach another station. And when I turn off ICE car, it won’t leak it’s fuel, no matter the temps. The last part I will write up at the end.
  5. Where I live, the EV infrastructure is catching fast but it is still really lackluster, and to add to that, even I can feel like 70% safe with infastructure here, it’s not certain for my neighbouring countries so that also limit.

  And about 4:

  This winter we had a small funny problem that two TIRs decided to play overtake on a frozen road and crashed, blockimg whole road. People spent 12 hours standing in line and not really able to get out from what I heard. ICE cars once turned off in that scenario would not give a frick about temps, but wouldn’t EVs have problems with their battery discharginf either due to cold or due to fighting the cold?

  But all in all, I still would like EV car lol. In my use case - that is either driving in my hometown or driving to the next bigger city over, they make a lot of sense. Although I can’t afford any car anyway xD

  gas stations don’t work in a blackout,

  …do US statioms not have their own generators?

  A bit too close to zoophilia there. Heck, I thought they’re the same until one furry explained to me main difference. So most folk see that and get thrown off.

  No way it gets through “I can’t be arsed” of normies xD

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord delays global age verification rollout after backlash - Dexerto⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  TeamSpeak 6 and Slate? Didn’t use the second one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨💀🌈🙏🌈💀⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a problem with everything though. No matter what definition for something you come up with, even if most of population agrees with it, you’d have aggresively vocal minority that will try and push it other way to conform it to their perception/goals etc.

  Straight means that as a man you are sexually attracted only to women. Already met people who dragged it into the “feminine people” camp instead and people who dragged it into “feminine women” camp. I tend on the other hand to stick into the tried and tested too much so I find both irritating xD

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Get on my level⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Love is blind. Don’t wedge yourslef inbetween folk who are happily together and are living normal lives. I know a guy that is more than a head taller than his partner, and they are happily together. Heck, it’s she that is more dominant in their partnership xD

  Is such height diff a reason to pay more attention? Maybe. But outright assuming something is wrong just because you’ve got a gut feeling is foul.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SBA#26⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Isn’t the problem that Joker is pretty much in a weird love thingie with Batman? The whole gloating and pushing him to his limits is the point xD

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your teenager AND your husband⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hm. I remember I ate 6-8 scrambled eggs with two packed sandwhiches for breakfast when I was a teen, and I am only average height.

  On the other hand, once my metabolism slowed down I started inflating like a baloon and had really hard time learning how to eat less xD

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Games you really want to play, but can't or won't?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If that’s the trend of the franchise I sure won’t be touching any of the later ones.

  Good news! It’s prolly not. In an interview I’ve read quite some time ago, creators said that they hit a silly problem of not having path of improving the game because everything works and…well, not much to add.

  So instead they experiment slightly wiyh each version, making small changes every time to create another “flavor” of Civ.

  We can fight off sickness, select meat etc. but I have no bloody idea how to pretend Torment Nexus led by profit motive…well, that answers my question I guess

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If cannibalism were the norm and human meat was freely available in grocery stores, there would surely be people who prefered to eat only the meat of people of their own ethnicity or only women's meat⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I honestly don’t get what the big deal with cannibalism is. Like I found it appaling few years back, some vegan pointed out that if we eat animals, why not humans, and I actually gave it thought and…

  No, really, why not? So many people die every day. So much meat goes to waste. So many organs which could aave so many lives. Wtf.

  My hardware is literally too old and unsupported according to Bazzite itself xD

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 10's extended support ends in eight months, but users are still rejecting Windows 11, at least in Germany⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Never went with Win 11. Tried jump to Linux, played with it for a week I believe, quite recently. Tinkering aside (mostly due to learning so not so bad, last distro change I got it all up to where I wanted it within an hour after install, because I finally knew what I was doin xD) my main problem is that Linux doesn’t really use my specs well.

  I have an older system and on Windows, I can punch above my league with running shit like Hogwarts Legacy or Fallout 76 on my i5-4460 and GTX 750, while on Mint, CachyOS and Nobara Fallout 76 struggled hard to run fluidly, liked to flicker and stuff, and Hogwarts Legacy couldn’t even get into menu. And I am not really willing to give up on these two for now.

  But other than that I found that no matter the distro, shit just…works. The worst part I think was that drivers for my old GPU are shitty on linux, but if you have in hardware from the last decade, I’d say just try it. All apps and shit you need is mostly handled by package repositories (something like app stores) and if your software isn’t there, check it’s website, maybe they have .deb or .rpm packages which are pretty much Linux .exe files. Or a simple command to download it via terminal.

  I have old Brother printer and even tho Linux community labels it papwerweight, Brother actually has full drivers for linux installed via copy-paste commands they give you on their website. With full instructions how to do it step by step. So really, if you didn’t try it yet, consider.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DuckDuckGo poll says 90% responders don't want AI⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  On the other hand…the same private entity wouldn’t buy the means to produce renewable power if they didn’t want to power their AI center. So in the ends, nothing changes, and the power couldn’t be used for other purposes because it simply wouldn’t be generated.

  However, as they did and are using it to promote themselves, they are influencing others to also adopt renewable energy policy in a way, no matter how small.

  No, normally I am not that optimistic, but I am trying ^^"

  For fun with words:

  • Niemcy - polish for Germans
  • Niemcy - polish for Germany
  • Niemy - polish for mute
  • Jadę do Niemiec - "I am riding to Germany"
  • Jadę z niemcami - "I am riding with germans"
  • Jadę z niemcem - "I am riding with german"
  • Jadę z Niemczech - "I am riding from Germany"
  • Jadę z niemym - “I am riding with a mute” I wonder how confusing these are for people not speaking polish xD

  1. I wonder how many enemies Dell made with that lol
  2. AI chatbots work as customer side if implemented well (if chatbot does not have options, it won’t work well) and if customers don’t knee-jerk into repeating they want human without checking it’s options first (which, understandably, came from dealing with badly implemented chatbots). Their search is quite alright for polling public opinions (useful for example if you are lazy and wanna find overall popular film from some genre - it can summarise reddit, google, few review sites and spit the effects at you).

  I know, I know. We are anti-AI here. But please, don’t be simply cynic. This tech has it’s uses, but is so badly used across everything that it’s hard not to be negative of it.
