- Comment on Trump's powerful new allies don't much like Australia 2 days ago:
I hope our politicians are ready to tell the American military that are stationed here to pack up and go home.
The yanks are now the biggest security threat we face.
- Comment on California just debunked a big myth about renewable energy 5 days ago:
renewables fulfilled 100 percent of the state’s electricity demand for up to 10 hours on 98 of 116 days
That’s a far cry from providing 100% of electricity demand for a full day.
Cherry picking stats that look good is scummy behaviour. ‘Up to’ are also weasel words when we’re talking what should be solid numbers.
People need electricity 24h day not 10h a day.
- Comment on After 18 years, Blu-ray media production draws to a close — Sony shuts its last factory in Feb 6 days ago:
Dune 2 is unwatchable on Netflix, the artifacting is actually insane.
- Comment on Arifureta Season 3 Delays Episode 12 Due to Production Issues 4 weeks ago:
Unreasonable deadlines and burnout amongst animators aren’t things companies tend to advertise but it is almost always the cause of delays.
- Comment on Yo, Duplo, what you doing on the 24th? 1 month ago:
Oh Im sorry, it is obviously unheard of for Chinese companies to use slaves, especially if we look at their supply chains.
- Comment on Yo, Duplo, what you doing on the 24th? 1 month ago:
Turns out production costs are lower if you use slaves
- Comment on Sleepy Bees 2 months ago:
LMAO redditors unironically defending slavery when it’s done by non-whites. Classic reddit.
- Comment on Harry Houdini Flew a Flimsy Aircraft in Diggers Rest. But Was He Really the First to Fly in Australia? 2 months ago:
I enjoyed reading about Lawrence Hargrave but his story is incredibly sad.
- Comment on aerodynamics 2 months ago:
I think it would be hydrodynamic and screw evolution I want my beef to be as aerodynamic as an F1.
- Comment on She-Ra Lives! 2 months ago:
One of the original supporting data sources was a myth of the Ainu people containing a woman who hunted.
If you want biased and unscientific sources keep digging into their claims.
- Comment on She-Ra Lives! 2 months ago:
I refuted this article when it was published based on their incredibly biased and cherry picked data sources which were entirely baseless.
I wish more people were willing to apply critical thinking and analysis to such claims. All falsified claims are a setback and detriment to humankind’s comprehension of the universe.
- Comment on Star Citizen player reports CIG is making him sign an NDA before getting a refund 2 months ago:
I received a refund in 2018 though they have since tried changing their EULA and TOS to make it harder, they have no legal standing to refuse a refund to Australian customers.
I was refunded for around $750 USD IIRC and at one point was in email contact with Will Leverett prior to my refund being approved.
- Comment on When Does Instagram Decide a Nipple Becomes Female? 2 months ago:
their existence proves that sex isn’t just a binary.
This argument has always struck me as odd as in virtually every other discussion we would accept that the exception ‘proves the rule’.
Humans have two hands, except when they don’t due to something impacting fetal development.
Humans have two kidneys, except when they don’t due to an error in fetal development or as a result of disease or injury.
There’s diversity to sex that requires a more complicated scheme to account for everybody.
Or just let the exceptions be exceptions with no social stigma rather than refusing to recognise that the vast majority of humans, and mammals, can be accurately identified as one of two distinct sexes.
- Comment on From baby boomers to alphas, every generation struggles when buying a first home 2 months ago:
Not surprising that people who aren’t bothering to read the article are down voting.
- Comment on Should you trust that doctor? 3 months ago:
I don’t know if Dr. Strange would technically be lower because he hasn’t been practicing for a long time? But I see what you mean.
- Comment on Should you trust that doctor? 3 months ago:
Dr. Strange, if he’s practicing medicine, might decide not to try and save you because it would hurt his stats.
JD would try.
I honestly can’t recall if JD specialised.
- Comment on LG monitor asking about ad tracking preferences 3 months ago:
Honestly Korean brands are just not options anymore, between the ads from LG and Samsung, and the spying by Hyundai and Kia there’s simply no reason to buy their products.
- Comment on Should you trust that doctor? 3 months ago:
Given the same medical technology I would place JD the highest and furthest right.
Not just because I like the character but because he truly does give a shit about his patients.
- Comment on Meet The $16,500 "Nintendo Game Boy Bike" Which Comes With Its Own Cartridge Key And Cheat Codes | Time Extension 3 months ago:
If you thought communities built on FOSS would be friendly to Nintendo then you were really uninformed.
- Comment on Final Fantasy 9 Remake May Not Happen as a Single Title 3 months ago:
I never said the original ceased to exist, or complained about it, I said I don’t like the remake.
The battle system is obviously the very first thing that made me dislike it so I very much disagree that your opinion is objectively true.
- Comment on Final Fantasy 9 Remake May Not Happen as a Single Title 3 months ago:
Why wouldn’t you want more of what you love?
…it’s not the game that I loved, not even close. I bought the first remake, got to the first boss, and uninstalled.
Square are dead to me.
- Comment on [Tom Warren] The PS5 Pro still hasn’t sold out in the US or UK. Looks like the $700 price point will mean this console will be readily available this holiday 3 months ago:
Sometimes people want to play with a toy and not scream at their OS because of… millions of possible reasons.
- Comment on Why does the media print rags to riches stories? 3 months ago:
CGP Grey is a treasure
- Comment on Donors 3 months ago:
You’re the only person here failing to comprehend some very basic english.
- Comment on Donors 3 months ago:
Are you really that braindead? An anonymous donation can mean the donor requested their name not be made public, it doesn’t necessarily stop the University from know where the money came from.
- Comment on Huawei will replace Windows with homegrown HarmonyOS in upcoming PCs 3 months ago:
How are your comments not in the public domain? That would void the entire purpose of the license.
Though personally I hope entire instances would be operated under such a licence.
- Comment on YouTube Premium is getting a huge price hike in over a dozen countries, sparking user backlash. Some countries are experiencing hikes between 30% and 50% 4 months ago:
YouTube has a monopoly and it’s no surprise people are frustrated, especially those who aren’t tech aware enough to continue blocking ads.
- Comment on OceanGate’s ill-fated Titan sub relied on a hand-typed Excel spreadsheet 4 months ago:
As if I needed more reasons to be happy he was reduced to a fine past
- Comment on Store these system requirements in your head compartment before Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 takes off 4 months ago:
Shit article and idiotic web design.
Opening the image to view the specs on mobile buts a giant navigation arrow over the intel ideal specs.
To sum it up: amd 7900x and 7900 xt for ‘ideal’ or Intel… something cpu that melts itself and nvidia 4980.
- Comment on Linus Tech Tips uploaded a video showing how to block ads on Youtube. Which was removed by Youtube for community guidelines violations. 4 months ago:
Maybe they changed something, it used to work for me before I stopped watching YouTube on mobile completely
