- Comment on Is £70 becoming harder to justify? The rise of cheaper blockbuster games 6 days ago:
Only game I’m immediately paying full price for is HL3. Everything else gets added to a Steam wishlist, where it sits until the price drops enough. For example, the oldest game addition on my wishlist was added in July 2012.
I don’t buy anything that costs more than $5. Spending more than $10 is exceedingly rare. If that game never drops that far, so be it. I’ve got plenty of other games to play or revisit in the meantime.

- Comment on Yes, thank you. That is the furniture I was looking for. 1 week ago:
I don’t, either, but it’s in the screenshot for the guillotine entry in the screenshot. Trying to be funny. Although it is kinda because I love death metal and that does plausibly sound like a band name in that genre.

I keep telling my InfoSec department if no one can sign into their computer, it’s the most secured environment they’ll ever have, but for some reason they don’t think it is as funny as I do.

I don’t disagree that the taxi industry needed a good shaking, and Uber/Lyft have brought a lot of convenience and features to the party compared to a traditional taxi service, but that doesn’t automatically make Uber the good guys in the equation.

- Comment on You can't legally drink and drive, but you have to present your driver's license to prove you're old enough to drink. 4 weeks ago:
You have to show ID. It doesn’t have to be a driver’s license. Many states, mine included, issue cards that are solely for identification and that’s it.

It is funny how 40 in the fall sees most folks bundling up with everything they have, and 40 the spring is shorts and sandals weather.
I don’t stop wearing shorts until it’s about 0F out or the wind is insane. Not to like shovel the driveway or anything being out for extended periods, but going out shopping or whatever is fine. Today was 0 with a -20 windchill and I went out in shorts, a sweatshirt, and a baseball cap.

- Comment on Why do I push people away if I'm so lonely? 4 weeks ago:
I would recommend starting by joining a group around a topic you’re interested in. Local climbing club or anime group or sports enthusiasts or gaming clan or whatever. Something in person. Use that group to practice social skills and learn body cues with topics you’re already familiar and confident with, and that in turn will help you branch out to other topics when you’re ready with the same level of communication.
It is a learned skill, and it takes time, but if you never take the time to learn it, then it will always feel foreign to you. Does that make sense? Like so many things in life, you have to get past the fear to get to the reward. That can be difficult, and you might get hurt when you put yourself out there, but I believe if you keep with it, and you’re determined to make a change, you can absolutely overcome anything and find a social group that complements you.
Good luck, friend. You can do it. We believe in you.

- Comment on YSK the four rules of firearm safety 5 weeks ago:
Modification to the first one, at least for me — I don’t care if I literally just watch you check it in front me of me before handing it over, I’m still checking. Always. I would expect others to do the same. First, it is just a reassurance, and second, it shows I actually know how to check it myself.
Finally, I didn’t see it listed, but keep the safety on until you’re ready. This kinda goes with the “keep finger off trigger” rule, in that it offers an extra degree of protection.
- Comment on How do I deliver an American eBay package to my hotel? 5 weeks ago:
That’s the idea. But definitely check with the hotel if they will accept and how long they’ll hold it for. Some hotels only accept guest packages for a few days before their check-in; they’re usually not going to want to hold it for a week or two. Maybe something you can work on with the seller to time the shipment appropriately?
