- Comment on Tesla stock pops 8% in premarket after report Trump wants to relax U.S. self-driving rules 3 days ago:
That’s their biggest criticism for their actual cars right now. They looked futuristic back 2012, but they look the same now. The other manufacturers have caught up with design and software. Now, they can be out produced into oblivion. That’s why Elon and other C suites at Tesla have been shedding shares, and Elon keeps trying to pump the stock.

About to be? They’ve already been paying extra for the privilege.
- Comment on Microsoft will end Windows 10 support in exactly one year 5 weeks ago:
And Windows 10 was supposed to be the last release becoming a rolling release. Only a sucker would have actually believed that.

Covid was a global emergency at one point.

Kamala is proposing making it illegal at the federal level.

I knew there was some way the insurance company was weaseling out of paying.
- Comment on A new angle 3 months ago:
That seems like it shouldn’t matter… Either two half size payouts or one full payout is what it seems like it should be. I’m sure there are some shenanigans that make it not that simple when it really should be.

Its the parts fault if they cant get an easy vote, not the voter’s
Ultimately, yes that’s the case. It’s the candidates job to attract voters.
- Comment on Stay Mad 4 months ago:
And that’s great, that’s what I do in the primaries. I’m not about to risk a Trump presidency just to place a vote for a 3rd party that I probably also don’t actually like. Just plug the nose and stop the larger threat.

Whatever helps you sleep at night if Trump gets elected.
- Comment on Stay Mad 4 months ago:
This vote is far too important to protest vote. Especially now that I live in a swing state.
- Comment on Stay Mad 4 months ago:
Technically I’m voting for Biden, in reality I’m voting against Trump. I really wish I had a better option…
- Comment on Vulcan rocket's debut brings long-awaited challenge to SpaceX dominance 10 months ago:
Rosy? Star Trek said we had to go through a nuclear apocalyptic war before learning to cooperate.
- Comment on Vulcan rocket's debut brings long-awaited challenge to SpaceX dominance 10 months ago:
The important part about this is that Vulcan doesn’t just use yet another Russian bought rocket engine. It uses BE-4, from Blue Origin. Finally, someone other than SpaceX building rockets. Too bad it’s the other out of touch billionaire with too much power and influence that is doing it.

I’ve been using this image with different providers for years. I would highly recommend it.
- Comment on But I wanted to be somebody famous! 1 year ago:
I disagree. It’s okay to make fun of things that people do, but not what people are. You shouldn’t make fun of someone for having a disability. You can make fun of someone choosing to put all that money and effort into a degree they are only leveraging to work at a haunted house. Not to mention comedy is subjective, so you may not find the same types of jokes funny.
- Comment on For some reason, I'm doubtful. 1 year ago:
There were a couple of companies that tried programs like this. PeoplePC was another similar program. You would pay for their services and they would lease you a computer every 3 years.

- Comment on Judge blocks California law requiring safety features for handguns 1 year ago:
It would be trivial to attach something that would catch the casings to collect them.
- Comment on Judge blocks California law requiring safety features for handguns 1 year ago:
The real problem is that all of those parts would print on the shell casing, not the bullet. What good would that do?
- Comment on Judge blocks California law requiring safety features for handguns 1 year ago:
The microstamping. As far as I know, no gun does this. What it effectively is, is a way to ban guns without outright calling it a ban.
- Comment on And now Bezos is trying to inserts ads everywhere 1 year ago:
Only private companies can get away with thinking like that. Companies that can put the stakeholder’s interest ahead of the shareholder.

Median is a form of average.
- Comment on Markdown everywhere 1 year ago:
I was using MarkText and a fairly structured set of directories. I switched to Bookstack which allows me to do essentially the same thing but with a web interface and the ability to share with even using RBAC. It doesn’t do the cool linking stuff though.

I have obsidian installed, but I haven’t really looked into how to use it. It has been on my list of things I should probably learn for a long time now
- Comment on Microsoft cuts ties with the Surface Duo after just 2 Android version updates 1 year ago:
I think I made the point pretty clear… There really isn’t a phone with the “real android” and it’s best to check the company’s track record of updates. It seems like you just reworded my point while missing that I just stated the same thing.
- Comment on Microsoft cuts ties with the Surface Duo after just 2 Android version updates 1 year ago:
And what phone runs that source without manufacturer tweaks?
- Comment on Microsoft cuts ties with the Surface Duo after just 2 Android version updates 1 year ago:
The “real version”? There is no “real version” of Android. I wouldn’t pick Microsoft specifically because they don’t have a track record of supporting their phones.
