- Comment on Real milk proteins, no cows: Engineered bacteria pave the way for vegan cheese and yogurt 2 weeks ago:
You can replace it with other cultures. Anything that can convert a sugar into lactic acid and you could use a milk that lacked lactose to make normal cheese. Or you can make a cheese with out the lactic acid. It will just taste a bit different.
- Comment on We should be able to legally have a different name just for work for better work/life separation 2 weeks ago:
No I used, sir or mister or LT. Like I was supposed to.
- Comment on We should be able to legally have a different name just for work for better work/life separation 2 weeks ago:
Uh, what? When i was in we called each other by our first names if we were friends or last names if we were acquaintances. Hardly anyone used ranks unless you were being yelled at or had to report. I was in a combat arma unit so maybe its different for other types of units but i doubt it.
- Comment on Up to half of the earth's population doesn't have an inner monologue, up to half of the earth has never had a shower thought 4 weeks ago:
Lack of inner monologue doesn’t mean lack of thoughts. People without an inner monologue just don’t think in words. They can still think up concepts and ideas like everyone else.
- Comment on Its likely a very large percentage of people would choose to have been born earlier than they were if given the choice. 4 weeks ago:
You should watch The Good Place. It comes up there once and I’ve thought about it randomly ever since.

If you don’t retain your knowledge are you even you?
Philosophy of self is weird.

- Comment on Cloudflare blocking AI crawlers 4 weeks ago:
Seeing as how they can’t reliably detect that I’m human or not, I don’t have much confidence in this.
- Comment on The name "seagull" implies the existence of landgulls, airgulls, and firegulls. 5 weeks ago:
Water. Earth. Fire. Air. My grandmother used to tell me stories about the old days, a time of peace when the Avatar kept balance between the Seagulls, Landgulls, Firegulls, and Airgulls. But that all changed when the Firegulls attacked.
- Comment on What are your favourite single-player games without much fluff, grinding or difficulty spikes? 5 weeks ago:
Baldur’s gate 3 would be my suggestion. It has difficulty settings from easy to insane. No quick time events. And the whole world was designed with care.
The combat system is very deep since it is based on DnD.
You can ignore side quests and still see the whole main game but even after 1500 hours in the game i was still finding new questlines and hidden caves to explore.

Unless you’re Indiana Jones or a ghoul kid in the Commonwealth.

- Comment on Google is intentionally throttling YouTube videos, slowing down users with ad blockers 1 month ago:
If you get a user agent switcher and change your user agent for youtube to chrome then that slowing down goes away.
- Comment on YSK: You can continue to access subscription services (even trials) after cancelation until the next billing cycle 1 month ago:
That’s what charge backs are for.
- Comment on YSK: You can continue to access subscription services (even trials) after cancelation until the next billing cycle 1 month ago:
If they don’t prorate a refund then they’re stealing from you. Obviously if this is a trial they can cancel immediately if you haven’t paid but otherwise it’s theft.
- Comment on The Army’s Newest Recruits: Tech Execs From Meta, OpenAI and More 1 month ago:
This type of program has existed for forever in the military. Some other careers that skip basic and get promoted to high ranks on joining are specialized doctors and lawyers. The military needs those types of specialists and they have to compete with the civilian compensation packages to attract people. Colonel pay is really high. Private First class, not so much.
- Comment on We went from LEARN TO CODE to NO ONE LEARN TO CODE GET A CONSTRUCTION JOB in about a 3 year span. 1 month ago:
Then he needs to charge more if he can’t afford to pay his employees more.
- Comment on Not only do we humans have a common ancestor with primates still living in trees, we have a common ancestor with the trees. 1 month ago:
I was going to say one of them should have been 50 times removed but Randall got me in the alt text:
Grandma says that because of differences in primate and feline lifespans, the cat is actually my 17,000,000th cousin 14,000,000 times removed.
- Comment on Palantir may be engaging in a coordinated disinformation campaign by astroturfing these news-related subreddits: r/world, r/newsletter, r/investinq, and r/tech_news 1 month ago:
You should assume every online space has disinformation, bad actors, trolls, sea lions, and other types of undergrowth. That is why critical thinking is so important.
- Comment on We like to protect people with OSHA laws in the workplace but not during a peaceful public protest 1 month ago:
if we are working for corporations and government, they will protect and defend the right to our safety to the utmost degree
No they won’t. The whole reason OSHA exists is because companies would routinely put workers in dangerous situations and then fire them if they refused. OSHA is an organization that exists because of all those lessons learned in blood that you hear about.

- Comment on Saying "over" on the radio is like the null byte at the end of a string. 1 month ago:
Same with roger wilco. Roger means i understand the message. Wilco means i understand the message and will comply.
- Comment on What is the cutoff distance when you point and say [thing] is "here" or [thing] is "there"? 1 month ago:
In spanish they have three words for here and there.
Things near enough to touch are aquí.
Things close but not near enough to touch are ahí.
Things far away are allí.
In english i would just say here for anything in my general vicinity (maybe within 2 meters) and there for any other distance.
- Comment on Marvel Rivals Question - How to Play Hulk? 1 month ago:
That’s how he’s played. He’s a diver. You jump in and try to distract and/or kill a squishy or healer while your team pushes in behind you. Then you jump out if the push didn’t go well.
- Comment on The Witcher 4 | Gameplay Tech Demo 1 month ago:
What does it matter what it was running on? This looks pre rendered and anything pre rendered will look good on a potato. Case in point Blizzard’s old pre renders in warcraft and diablo.

- Comment on Certain dishes like Curries and fried rice keep getting better with age, until they don't. 2 months ago:
Does it instantly turn or does it follow a normal distribution of taste vs time where there is some value of time that produces a perfect taste but below or above that value is suboptimal? Because for me I find there is a peak waiting time for spaghetti and bolognese of about 2 days after preparing it where the tastes have blended perfectly but if I got three days the taste isn’t as great but hasn’t spoiled.
- Comment on Musk's Neuralink raises fresh cash at $9 billion valuation, Semafor reports 2 months ago:
surgical insertions of devices to treat obesity, autism, depression and schizophrenia
We don’t understand the underlying mechanisms of these diseases currently so how is nueralink going to treat them? Is neuralink funding research into these diseases or is the nazi muskrat spouting bullshit again?
