No, it’s a little more nuanced than that.

No, check ebay if you don’t believe me. It’s not exactly plentiful, but there are enough contractors with several hundred/thousand feet left over from big jobs who are selling it for wholesale or less. It’s not like you can recycle it, and splicing is unreliable without tools that cost as much as a car, so if you’ve got a partial spool you need to get rid of you’ll probably have to sell it at a loss.
- Comment on DissolvPCB enables fully recyclable 3D-printed circuit boards with liquid metal conductors 2 weeks ago:
You might be able to coat them, but for long term applications I think you’d be better off etching FR4. This sounds like a huge breakthrough for low cost rapid prototyping, though.
- Comment on MD = oMega Dumbass 2 weeks ago:
Elevation (really the force of gravity) has an effect on time, so that’s technically only true at sea level.
- Comment on This boomer couple would be hit with $700,000 tax bill if they sold their mansion 2 weeks ago:
The first $500k is taxed at a lower rate, so they’re actually be making more than that on the sale.

Roll tide.
- Comment on Warren Buffett Said Buying 'Distressed' Homes With 30-Year Mortgages And Renting Them Out Might Be The 'Most Attractive' Investment Available 3 weeks ago:
Most upper-middle class people are also looking for good investment opportunities. I’m talking about people who might have a net worth of far less than a million dollars. Let alone a billion.
- Comment on Warren Buffett Said Buying 'Distressed' Homes With 30-Year Mortgages And Renting Them Out Might Be The 'Most Attractive' Investment Available 3 weeks ago:
Wow, very misleading article. Buffet said those things in 2012, right as the economy was starting to recover from the fear recession. Things are very different now.
- Comment on Mastercard release a statement about game stores, payment processors and adult content 3 weeks ago:
They’re obviously basing it on the local laws of the business and customer. That varies from each transaction to the next. They’re just saying that they don’t restrict anything that they aren’t legally required to restrict.
- Comment on YSK Employers do NOT verify your total work history unless you're applying for a government position. 4 weeks ago:
You aren’t thinking like a hiring manager.
- Comment on Apple sues YouTuber who leaked iOS 26’s new “Liquid Glass” software redesign 5 weeks ago:
The difference between this and the iPhone 4 leak might just be company policy. I’m sure Apple’s rules for handling prototypes got stricter after the first leak, so this guy probably broke more rules than the first, even if they did basically the same thing.
- Comment on Firefox is fine. The people running it are not 1 month ago:
If you have a chance to read the article, I’d highly recommend it. It directly addresses that point.
- Comment on Firefox is fine. The people running it are not 1 month ago:
The article says you should stick with Firefox. If you have time, I’d recommend reading the entire article!
- Comment on Firefox is fine. The people running it are not 1 month ago:
Did you read the article? It says Firefox is the best choice you have, and all of the criticism is directed at the organization’s leadership.

Yep, Americans have less freedom than North Koreans because we can’t tether our phones data service to our laptops. /s
I fully support net neutrality, but there are bigger problems than not being able to tether your phone’s data plan to your laptop.

I’m pretty sure everyone who says it’s gay to wipe your own ass is trolling.
- Comment on King forgot his crown 1 month ago:
By that logic, fake fundraisers and romance scams shouldn’t be illegal either.
- Comment on King forgot his crown 1 month ago:
We do - romance scams are fraud, and they’re illegal.
- Comment on I finished my 3D Printable screw design! Excellent print ability, reliable for simple use, though the head is prone to strip... can't win them all. 1 month ago:
I’ve never seen a Phillips screw get stripped without first camming out a few times.
- Comment on YSK: WD-40 is perfect for removing adhesive left behind by stickers 2 months ago:
WD-40 is a jack of all trades but master of none. There’s probably a better product, no matter what you’re trying to do, but everyone has a can of WD-40 lying around.

They not big tobacco, what else is there to say?
- Comment on 2025 be vibin' 2 months ago:
There are a lot of other hobbies though, and not many other careers that pay as well as comp sci. If you can turn a programming hobby into a career, you should. You’ll have enough money to find another hobby.

- Comment on where are worker rights parades? why are we focusing on very limited issues? 2 months ago:
While the cold war is passing out of living memory, the chill that it left on American leftism for the better part of 100 years is hard to overstate.
The Cold War ended in 1991, what are you talking about?
- Comment on I 3d printed a custom sized keyboard using open source software and hardware designs. 2 months ago:
Respectful, I disagree. I’ve learned a lot from people making small comments like that, even when they’re unintentionally blunt.
- Comment on I 3d printed a custom sized keyboard using open source software and hardware designs. 2 months ago:
Helpful by sharing information they believed to be true, that they thought you might not have heard/known. I don’t see any malice in their post or any expectation that you change what you’re doing.
- Comment on I 3d printed a custom sized keyboard using open source software and hardware designs. 2 months ago:
I don’t think that was meant as criticism, it seemed like they were trying to be helpful.
Awesome keeb, BTW!

What did you program your knobs to do? All of the above?
- Comment on Quick fix for cracked plastic clip: thread wrap and superglue 2 months ago:
Yes, but temporary fixes are the most permanent.
- Comment on Quick fix for cracked plastic clip: thread wrap and superglue 2 months ago:
Looks like the thread is handling most of the force, and the glue is just keeping it in place.
