  Anybody that believes the Moon landing was fake is a lost cause. Only flat Earth is a more ridiculous thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Moon landing" photo where the angles of the shadows are all off.⁩ ⁨⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I asked him why, after going to all the trouble and expense of trying to convincingly fake the moon landings, would NASA install fans.

  Otherwise the flag would fall flat, duh.

  (\s for whoever thinks this isn’t absurd enough.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK the phases of the moon⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Hum… The phase where the Moon is shrinking is called Crescent?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Double standards⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  They are quite common livestock all over the world.

  And exotic to Florida, so calling them “endangered” is completely meaningless.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone else having issues with YouTube right now?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, it just started working again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I wish I could do executive orders 🤔⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Please don’t send your worst.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  What is even more interesting is that the defeat has been vehemently declared before even the parties named their candidates.

  Now excuse me, because US politics are interesting and so, but I need to make popcorn to watch my country’s electoral court respond to the police about their involvement on what is looking like the largest corruption scheme in the country’s history (what’s a really high bar) while they manage what is looking to be the second most polarized election of the century.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Audio cable measurements are driving me crazy — why don’t they null?!?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Relevant line:

  US installations use +24 dBu for 0 dBFS

  That means the US definition you can’t hear anything below -24 dBFS. It’s the largest value there, it’s -18 for the EU.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Goblin mode⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m either completely out of touch (what’s perfectly possible), or this one is very simple to explain and wouldn’t surprise the mother of a boy in the least.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Audio cable measurements are driving me crazy — why don’t they null?!?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  So a signal of -40 dBFS is quite audible, since it’s all relative to 0 dBFS (full scale).

  At -40, it doesn’t make any difference what kind of dB you are talking about.

  (Well, if you are looking for superstrings evidence or even quantum gravity, it does, but I guess it’s not your case.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨cant take it anymore⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Very few things are as fake as AI… and my best guess is most of them frequent some national Congress building.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Audio cable measurements are driving me crazy — why don’t they null?!?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Your graph has a signal of -40dB. Are you working in high-energy physics? If it’s only nano-tech or something of this magnitude, you don’t have equipment that is this precise.

  And all the “high-intensity” findings on your posting (at audible 0dB) are probably because the expensive cable didn’t connect well to the socket. And are still nothing, and have no impact on your sound quality.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Audio cable measurements are driving me crazy — why don’t they null?!?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok, assuming you are posting this honestly instead of just pushing something…

  Take a look on the meaning of “noise”, and how much of it your devices create. The best description of what is happening in your entire text is “nothing”.

  They surely are popular…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The sun is a deadly laser...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  but it’s cool to imagine a universe where life was incredibly abundant

  There was probably nothing but Helium, Hydrogen and a tiny bit of Lithium at that period.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Save as PDF⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Writing that PDF into an USB device or into a new file are basically the same thing…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We really need to bring back the 70s conversation pits⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You can make the niche without the pit. Unless you have some reason at all to use the different level, it’s completely unnecessary.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨everywhere⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Most western languages are way less ambiguous than English. But yeah, every one has some stuff like this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨most people don't know⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  And the fungus is controlled by an ever changing proportion of different virus.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Form over function⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It would either be impossible to assemble or lose 90% of its efficiency in a few cycles after the paint goes away.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your mom's dildo is out for delivery⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you trying to say it’s AI?

  The trailer is being pushed by the semi

  It’s being pushed by that truck behind it. That you can find if you follow the thick steel bar linking them.

  And the trailer front is just kinda floating along

  I dunno why part of the trailer is parked at the side of the road, but what you are seeing isn’t there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am looking for a Linux OS⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you have nVidia, make sure the OS you go with calls out nVidia support as a feature.

  That makes the setup easier, but the capacity of making it work or not doesn’t actually change.

  I’d say not only pick an OS that explicitly supports it, but make sure to test first as a live-image without installing and overwriting the OS that is already there working.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨50ohm goes brrrrrr⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just to point out, because it’s bothering me way more than it should…

  But the electric and magnetic peaks align with each other’s valleys, not with each other’s peaks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No one getting to it⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can add them to the left too.

  And remember, if your interlocutor don’t like you adding zeros, computers pad negative numbers with 1s, not 0s.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You mean it would be killed more instantaneously?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's a real chicken or the egg scenario⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, man, I though I didn’t need them.

  Of course they are not experts. Or at least, of course they are not honest experts, given that some sell the stuff the worm guy said cures autism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's a real chicken or the egg scenario⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It was confirmed by his appointed experts.

  I dunno if this is better or worse. But there were other people pointing at it at the time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can mere dirt cause heatcreep?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve had a hotend that constantly clogged with looked like heat creep, but it was caused by the filament being pushed laterally and twisting inside it. I imagine that made the plastic flow back.

  I have also had one constantly clog due to the print cooling fan being installed wrong and blowing into the heater. This one is weird because it just unclogs when you turn the print off, leaving no evidence of what happened.
