I was laughing so hard. One of Ben’s best. Also some cameos from Walter Mathesson

I screenshotted “twerk race” too! It is so fucking weird.

- Comment on Had me for a while there 2 weeks ago:
That could probably be said about anywhere, given time, money, and willingness to reduce population.
I could probably build an underground vertical farm in the Sahara and feed myself, if I pumped in saltwater to desalinate.

I finally got rid of my laserdiscs last year. My player broke years before and all the movies I had, I had blue rays of or could get on streaming. It was hard to justify toting around 20lbs of movies I couldn’t play
- Comment on I learned so much 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, English was always a fucking pain. As an adult though I wish I remembered the parts of speech and how to structure English documents well. A huge part of my job in tech is explaining things in English text.

What others said, as long as the merchants can access it, it is fine. Merchants can’t use stairs afaik so either outside or dig ramps.

Df is really hard to get the hang of. Keep at it and let the “fun” commence!
Don’t forget to build your trade depot!

- Comment on Question: When Turk/Ottoman Empire lost the WW I, did it offer Palestinians to move back to the new borders of the Ottoman Empire? 5 weeks ago:
I want to find a book on the tail end of the ottoman empire. I want to see how they treated the locals in Palestine at the time. It is used as an excuse as to why Israel has to happen.

Clever for the example to be lowering prices when we know they are going to use this to squeeze us.
Is there a path forward that doesn’t involve a class war? - Comment on Leaked SpaceX documents show company forbids employees to sell stock if it deems they've misbehaved 1 month ago:
It is part of the calculus of employment. You get these shares and you deem if they are worth something (you think the company is complatently run and will IPO) or you think they are worthless.
You can talk about how pointless and probably predatory that is, but that is the current system we inhabit.
Fwiw I walked away from imaginary shares. My public company went private by a hedge fund. Honestly hedge funds are good at making short term cash so maybe that was a bad decision, but I wanted no part in the next year or more of layoffs. Plus my imaginary stock was still on a vest cycle so it would vest probably after the stock was skyrocketing.

- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
This is different though. If my rent is $2000 a month now, and I get $1000 a month from the government, the landlord can make my rent $3000 a month on renewal. Yes the money is going into the economy but it is enriching the upper class instead of helping the folks that need it.
- Comment on Is TV Dead? Global TV Shipments Hit a Decade Low in 2023 1 month ago:
I don’t know what your setup is, but since I work from home I found that I don’t like to be in my office doing shit on my computer that much these days 😞
Just having a screen in another room is helpful to isolate my workday from my free time.
It kinda sucks, I enjoy tinkering with shit on my computer - Comment on Is TV Dead? Global TV Shipments Hit a Decade Low in 2023 1 month ago:
I have Jellyfin stream old sitcom reruns almost all day while I work. I just don’t need to upgrade all that often.
- Comment on F.A.A. Audit of Boeing’s 737 Max Production Found Dozens of Issues 1 month ago:
Ah. Yeah musk is insane but his rockets are cheaper than the SLS will be. Hell Congress hasn’t even funded more than 1 or 2 launches because it is so expensive.

Not sure why you are getting down votes. Nobody wants SLS, even NASA. Congress is proping it up for pork
- Comment on Avast fined $16.5 million for ‘privacy’ software that actually sold users’ browsing data 1 month ago:
I don’t know about Yuzu’s data collection but they were destroyed because they existed.
- Comment on Avast fined $16.5 million for ‘privacy’ software that actually sold users’ browsing data 1 month ago:
Do we know how much money they made on it? If it was more than $16.5 then it was still a good step on their balance sheet.
This stuff needs to be fined at the full income they made from the tool plus some penalty. Corporations only care about their balance sheets.

I don’t get why China has anything to do with it. Isn’t it out of Singapore?
- Comment on Apple Terminated Epic’s Developer Account 2 months ago:
Tim Sweeney is pretty openly against any Linux support for some reason so I think that soured Linux gamers against them.
I have been gaming on Linux for 15 years and it is so much better these days, but we are still not a 1st party target. I get why, but it sucks to be ignored and told to just deal with it forever. I spend as much or more on hardware and software than windows gamers (except for a Windows license I suppose) and I guess I have to vote with my wallet. - Comment on Someone help me make a 'transition metals' joke here... 2 months ago:
The internet says it is an Einstein quote.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I’m not sure about the former.
I am betting like most quotes attributed to him that it is made up though.
