- Comment on What's the best way to answer someone who accuses you of being a bot because they don't like what you have to say? 3 days ago:
Well it’s pointless engaging with them any further.
Do what I do. Create a ChatGPT conversation, give the context and ask for a reply. See how long you can keep it up by telling the bot what reply you got from them next. You barely have tomdo anything, just cope+paste.
Its more fun to not even read anything that’s going on until the end.
- Comment on Crucial is shutting down — because Micron wants to sell its RAM and SSDs to AI companies instead 3 days ago:
I’m a follower and just go with Corsair Vengeance. Hasn’t ever let me down.
I think all my SSDs are Samsung. Nvme are Kingston and so I like to think they have thick Jamaican accents, mon. No issues with any of it and some of that storage is getting real old.

Is she aware of what protein in the diet is for and how it works? Ot is she having expensive poops?

I thought we exited this phase quite a few years back. Has it made a return? Are there wheat cereals advertising protein that’ll shit straight out of me because I do zero exercise again?

- Comment on *confused flatfish noises* 1 week ago:
By far. We didn’t get to be #1 by fucking around, and we didn’t get to be #1 without all that dominating evolution lingering around. We’re so good at it, we’re predators to ourselves because there’s no prey left to dominate. Every other species dies farmed or as a hobby.
But I can say, that if I were die be prey to something, I’d rather it be to a human. Everything else starts eating you before you’re even dead lol.

iirc the John Hammond covers this in the book. I was so young, but something is triggering it for me. Could just be the subconscious trying to protect nostalgia, though.

I think that’s specific to mammals. Just off the top of my head…
Invertebrates? No. All out

Reptiles? No.

Registration Status: Registered.
Beacon Type: EPIRB.
406MHz GPS (Cat. 2) 66-channel. Beacon Status: Operational.
Battery Expiry Date: 01/10/2028.It’s UIN—which I obv won’t give lol— doesn’t hold an MMSI. The main reason being EPIRBs aren’t just for marine craft.
- Comment on xkcd #3169: EPIRBs 2 weeks ago:
I have a handheld one—to float with me in a liferaft, etc—and it gets registered to a vessel or vehicle. Whenever I want to use it on something different, contact the federal government, advise of the new vessel ID or vehicle registration, and it’s now associated with the new one.
I don’t think it matters much since it is a beacon after all, but I think it helps in searching. Also, a lot of other details are registered along with it so they know who to send the tens of thousands in fines to if I somehow bypass all three “Are you really sure?” switches and fire the thing off inappropriately.

I think this is how you find out you’re God. Or at least _should_have god-like powers.How good are you at sadism and are you a cunt to your son? Do you often find yourself threatening billions of Ife to eternal torture if they don’t accept your love and moral superiority while worshipping you for it?

- Comment on Passkeys Explained: The End of Passwords 3 weeks ago:
The article is only referring to per device keys and passkeys that lock them on that device. In other words, someone would need to be able to get your device’s key, decrypt it or brute your passkey, spoof or steal your device somehow, and send the key under it’s identity. I’m sorry, but I don’t think the few people that could do that would be wasting their time to do it to little old you. For most people, their insignificance is the best security they have.

- Comment on Why don't cars have a way to contact nearby cars like fictional spaceships do? 5 weeks ago:
Use it all the time (UHF). But only get comms on other off-roaders, all the trucks, or caravamers. It’s very useful. I give out handhelds to friends if we’re travelling together.Honestly, phones are pretty shit in comparison.
I’m glad it’s not popular for other drivers, though. One of the main benefits is most people don’t use it, so the bands don’t get clogged with shit.
- Comment on Pow-- 5 weeks ago:
Nah, I think your brain is just defaulting to social concepts of race which is kind of ironic. It was confusing, but that seems to be the case after all.
But not enjoying the negative traits of my genetic composition and wishing I could substitute them with others is totally fine. If there was a race of humans with wings, you better fucking believe I find that a cool trait to have. They’d be ugly bat-like ones with skin and shit, but the benefits would be too good to pass up. If you want to acknowledge the social concepts of racial inferiority or superiority to the wings, or even subscribe such concepts, that’s all you. But, as you would note in my original comment, these sorts of ideas are silly to me.
And I know what horseshoe theory is. It’s mention makes absolutely no contextual sense, but it is highlighting where some people’s brains disturbingly wander off to. Won’t be dragging me along, though.

- Comment on Pow-- 5 weeks ago:
Depends where I’d geographically end up. Whatever genetic traits benefit that the most and also what I want to do the most.
For starters, I’d be preferring more melanin, but I still like my northern EU frame for swimming. Hmmm…but I would like longer legs for running. Also more east asian hair for convenience.
Having Nordic height is convenient too, but the weight is rough when falling so African lakes region is good for that.
My spawn point is prob somewhere around the Pacific. Sailing and surfing will be my jam, so if I had to select a preset, probably Tongan, but I’d rather.customise.
I dunno, what would you pick?
- Comment on Pow-- 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, like most everything, it’s a social concept.
- Comment on Pow-- 5 weeks ago:
The genetics and geographical aspects defining races are entirely a product of social behaviour favouring traits over others. It has been a very long time since our species contended with natural selection, and instead it’s also with social selection from mindsets entirely like yours.
If your brain’s going to where it went, you’re either simple or so racially conscious, you only think in social racial traits 👍
You can accuse the sun of being racist when the truth is, like all species on the planet, genetics are geographically disposed to benefit their environment. I can confidently say that those of western and central Europe have less genetic fortitude for other environments and situations around the planet. Just as a Clydesdale doesn’t race and a Thoroughbred doesn’t haul load.
Get your head out of the social racist gutter. I’m allowed to be displeased with my genetic traits, especially when I never had a say in the matter.
