Going down from 24" 2048x1152 to 27" 1920x1080 was an extremely noticeably change. Good god I loved that monitor things looked so crisp on it.
- Comment on I have been staring at this marquee and cannot figure out what "two dance special means" 2 days ago:
Correct. I used to live 8 blocks away. Never went to that one but am told they don’t serve alcohol. Which seemed weird for those kind of places.
- Comment on I have been staring at this marquee and cannot figure out what "two dance special means" 3 days ago:
It’s a strip club in New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada.
You can get there in about 30minutes on the SkyTrain from Vancouver International Airport (YVR).
No idea why you would want to but you can

If you say so I’ll believe you. Not my cup o tea

Consensual non consent.
Also known, or formerly known as rape play.

Thanos is simping for Lady Death who doesn’t give a thought about him at all

In my defense I only said you maybe don’t NEED to. If it satisfies your soul in ways I can’t possibly understand that entirely up to you lol
- Comment on Carrot 1 week ago:
Seems to be.
Used to eat carrots out of my grandma’s farm when I was a wee lad. Have never found ones that taste the same.
But there is now a Korean grocery store nearest to me and is been great to get different varietals and seeing what ingredients are like from other places just because they grow a different one.
I’ve found the greenish part of the stem can go a bit further in some of the carrots which isn’t the most pleasant but it’s only been like one carrot that was like that, the rest were just a big ole tasty carrot. Surprisingly juicy compared to what I’m used to from the grocery stores I’ve gone to most of my life.
- Comment on Carrot 1 week ago:
Kuroda carrot maybe.
If it is those are very juicy and fucking delicious. Go to your nearest Asian market. Enjoy better carrots

Or maybe just go and get some more rinse aid in the way home… You don’t need to jump to rediculous conclusions.

Love you. Thank you
- Comment on Ex PlayStation exec says Sony can't keep "increasing the graphics power" with new consoles after tech plateau, but PS5 has already "made almost every game a better game" 1 week ago:
That’s not exactly accurate, it’s ignoring significantly that hardware in consoles is mostly static. The consistency and limitations on hardware undoubtedly is an important part of that equation

For us ludite lurkers who couldn’t figure it out from context alone, which one is the interpreted language? I got lost on that detail lol
- Comment on The C programming language is like debating a philosopher and Python is like debating someone who ate an edible 1 week ago:
I think it’s not about using it, not the mechanics of using it. No putting together required. And you have everything you need to start driving it the moment you get the keys.
I’m not a mechanic or a programmer so I’m also curious what the meant lol

1 because I grew up with that soon and am already used to how fucking weird if feels in my mouth
- Comment on THE CRAZY PILLS 2 weeks ago:
Children’s versions are often liquid form iirc.
Dosage levels probably vary widely between different places. Composition will change but the important part is the active/medical ingredients, the other stuff is just usually to prevent tampering or to make easier to take. Coated/non coated. Crush resistance or interference, possibly agents to reduce ingestion discomfort etc. how many mg of the active ingredient (acetaminophen is paracetamol) is usually the difference. Cutting pills in half is often just as good as taking a lower dose pill. Just depends on who needs it.
Think the general guideline is not to exceed 4000mg per 24h period ages 12+ though always read the medications guide lines
- Comment on THE CRAZY PILLS 2 weeks ago:
If it’s acetaminophen then it’s Tylenol equivalent
- Comment on THE CRAZY PILLS 2 weeks ago:
700+ for the pm ones because they are expecting you to sleep for 8 hours ish
- Comment on THE CRAZY PILLS 2 weeks ago:
500 is the extra strength. 375 is regular strength
- Comment on it's true! 3 weeks ago:
Context is important. I grew up on 5 acres of pretty wild land so the lawn around the house was anything but fucking stupid.
Have kids a place to play in view of the big windows in the house, was a very very small part of the overall land and have us room to play.
In more suburban or urban environments is a completely different discussion I will grant you
- Comment on it's true! 3 weeks ago:
There are prairie grass stains that have very deep roots. Not sure how they act as a replacement for typical lawns but they exist already
- Comment on Do boycotts work? 3 weeks ago:
Also because Colbert previously was cancelled and that was already upsetting to many people. If Colbert wasn’t cancelled already We might not have seen enough people care when Kimmel was suspended
- Comment on Do you think The Boys is an accurate representation if real people had superpowers? 3 weeks ago:
I didn’t say we didn’t. Not sure why you think I’m ignoring companies like Amazon. If they operated as freely as Vought does then yes it would look the same, but Vought created supers in The Boys and controlled access to them. Thats where I was pretty clear about establishing my opinion and how the real world is different from the world of The Boys.
- Comment on Do you think The Boys is an accurate representation if real people had superpowers? 3 weeks ago:
No. If it’s just the getting powers and it’s not like a toxin thing that actually corrupts/poisons.
Absolutley there will be those that need to be put down hard, but I don’t think it would be as set up in The Boys
Part of why that world works the way it does is Vought. The other is that Homelander is tiers above the other characters and he is a psychopath raised by an evil organization. Given that no one was able to compare to Homelander he couldn’t be challenged. His treatment of other supes is a large reason why that is.
There would still be chaos, but it wouldn’t be like that show, I don’t think because there are many people that would actually just want to be helpful
Fame and fortune already makes people nutty, or rewards bad behavior maybe, but I don’t think the powers themselves would corrupt people and make them evil.

Often look like the equivalent of putting a bowl on your head and cutting hair like that.

- Comment on Everybody is fine with celebrities like Whoopi Goldberg making up fake names for themselves, but when someone chooses a name for themselves to suit their gender identity it's suddenly a problem 3 weeks ago:
Shake my head, or so much hate?
I recently learned a new definition for SMH and now I don’t know if I’m reading it correctly

Scents and smells? That is so far beyond my ability to prepare but that’s awesome for you(I assume!)
Ive found its a good baseline to start with until you can gauge who you are speaking to.
In connection with the comic XKCD - 10000,it has helped a socially awkward geek like me when speaking to people in meetings or on projects. Kind of follow the I said it outright the first time and emphasize it slightly the first time I use a phrase if I’m going to refer to it a few times and try to shorten it for convenience

It was explained to me by someone I know who I trust. I would have to ask them or go looking. Unfortunately I haven’t been in contact with them so that’s not much of an option for the foreseeable future. As I said it is my understanding, I was led to believe this isn’t really something to argue about as the were entire books that no longer exist in modern versions. This was any 15 years ago and you are the first person to challenge that assertion I’ve made.
