Yeah but that dude died and came back so many times he barely knows what his name is or what dimension he’s in.
He’s just tub thumping through the universe, like a cooler Indiana jones.

First, assume a spherical resistor in a vacuum, that can also dissipate heat with 100% efficiency.
Now that we’re in physics land, anything is possible.
- Comment on Something Bizarre Is Happening to People Who Use ChatGPT a Lot 1 week ago:
Yes, but what this movie failed to anticipate was the visceral anger I feel when I hear that stupid AI generated voice. I’ve seen too many fake videos or straight up scams using it that I now instinctively mistrust any voice that sounds like male or femaleAI.wav.
Could never fall in love with AI voice, would always assume it was sent to steal my data so some kid can steal my identify.
- Comment on Tesla recalls all Cybertrucks ever made over trim falling off | Electrek 1 week ago:
They probably had some office assistant order a pallet of bolts from Home Depot.
This is the company that glued the accelerator pedal on, you think they know what grade of bolt they need?
- Comment on Tesla recalls all Cybertrucks ever made over trim falling off | Electrek 1 week ago:
That is also what this article says.
Although a single bolt is going to need to be quite strong to hold down a long piece of steel exposed to high speed wind regularly.

- Comment on Pinterest changes user terms so it can train AI on user data and photos, regardless of when they were posted 3 weeks ago:
It’s a completely useless website.
Was looking for a fun weekend project to this weekend. Clicked on a google image result I didn’t realize was from Pinterest.
One photo with no context or additional information. No other angles or anything.
What’s the fucking point of that website.

Well Bezos probably has like 20 toilets in each of his mansions, so he’s just skewing the averages.
- Comment on Amazon Restricted Vaginal Health Products for Being ‘Potentially Embarrassing’ 4 weeks ago:
Bought replacement float and toilet seat last week to fix my aunts toilet.
Amazon now thinks I’m a toilet repair technician or some shit. I see nothing but different kinds of floats, stoppers, tank gaskets, seats, bidets, anything that can go in or on a toilet, Amazon thinks I need.
I’ve never been ad bombarded this hard before, and it’s about toilet parts.

- Comment on The Cybertruck Appears to Be More Deadly Than the Infamous Ford Pinto, According to a New Analysis 1 month ago:
A rocket is not fundamentally new and hasn’t been for almost 100 years.
Rockets perform correctly when they deliver their payload to the correct orbit.
You can calculate the energy density of fuels, the efficiency of your engines at various atmospheric pressures, and determine the payload size you can deliver with your engines and fuel. Blowing up rockets for “tests” is so 1950s. We have whole college programs on rocket design. We have desktop computers more powerful than anything available in the 1960s, and NASA managed to design the Saturn V, a rocket of similar size to starship, with the computers of the time and fucking slide rules. The Saturn V had its problem, but each rocket managed to deliver its payload and perform its part of the mission without blowing up.
Your comment is classic tech bro. No understanding of real engineering principles and only a desire to shove some shit out of the door as fast as possible.

Where are my goddamn robot arms. We have corporate hellscapes, hacker collectives, and private militaries, but I still can’t get robo limbs at a Walgreens walk up clinic.
- Comment on What's the deal with male loneliness? 2 months ago:
Met my wife online during the pandemic.
Dated a fair few women before her, meeting online and in real life.
I’m not super attractive, and pretty awkward, but I always make the effort to be polite and actually listen instead of waiting to talk, you’d be amazed how far that actually gets you.

Is way better to draw your finger perpendicular to the edge to feel the burr. That way you don’t cut yourself on the edge or the burr itself.

That’s an interesting question as to whether the infinity gauntlet rounds down.
Like, if there were 3 survivors of a species and thanos snapped the universe, does the gauntlet round up to 2 survivors, or down to one?
- Comment on Terrified friends burn to death trapped in Tesla as doors won't open after crash 4 months ago:
Or, how about this: it’s a door, have it work like every other car door for the last 70 years.
Redesigning stuff to make it “cool” and “futuristic” is fucking stupid and is clearly not safe. Doors have handles, the handles are pulled to open the door. Keep it simple.
- Comment on Clever, clever 5 months ago:
ChatGPT is a tool that is used for cheating.
The point of writing papers for school is to evaluate a person’s ability to convey information in writing.
If you’re using a tool to generate large parts of the paper, the teacher is no longer evaluating you, they’re evaluating chatGPT. That’s dishonest in the student’s part, and circumventing the whole point of the assignment.
- Comment on Netflix has closed its AAA gaming studio 5 months ago:
I remember doing the bear grills one, and one of the choices was to jump over a ravine, or walk over it using a fallen tree as a bridge.
Being the hiker I am, the obvious choice of walk around it being missing kind of annoyed me, but I chose the tree option.
Bear died.
So I got to go back and pick the jump over option, which was apparently the right one.
Who the fuck does running jumps over a 15 foot deep ravine.
I never bothered with the choose your own adventure things again. When the correct choice is just not available and the next logical choice just means an instant loss, you don’t have a very fun game
- Comment on Large Boeing Satellite Suddenly Explodes Into Pieces 5 months ago:
If you’re a government, you can pretty much put anything in a rocket fairing and call it a reconnaissance satellite.
The only warning that actually has to be given is that a rocket is being launched, so you don’t accidentally trigger WW3 by setting off launch detection satellites without warning. After it’s in space, no one can really tell what was in the fairing. Could be a spy satellite, could be navigation. Could just be a box with a bunch of little rockets in it, designed to slam into whatever you want at ridiculous speed.
But it’s way more likely that this was just Boeing having a tiny leak in a propellant tank, or a bad thruster and as soon as the concentration of propellant and oxidizer got high enough, it triggered a detonation. They certainly have a history of not leak testing their shit: airplanes falling apart, space capsules with leaky thrusters, and now a blown up satellite point more towards incompetence than malice.

- Comment on Tesla issues 5th recall for the new Cybertruck within a year, the latest due to rearview camera 5 months ago:
Semi drivers require a commercial license, and special training. They’re monitored way more closely than your average American driver.
And side mirrors only let you see what’s behind the car to the sides and at a distance, not what’s immediately behind the car. I don’t want some idiot in his $80K battering ram to roll over me because I happened to walk behind his death trap and he couldn’t be bothered to wait for the rear view camera to come up.
Not being able to see what’s immediately behind the vehicle is a safety hazard, especially in suburban areas or parking lots where most people are reversing out of a space with other people walking around.
- Comment on Tesla issues 5th recall for the new Cybertruck within a year, the latest due to rearview camera 5 months ago:
The Cybertruck has no rear view mirror when the back cover is down.
So any reversing requires the use of the backup camera.
The car also accelerates really fast, and weighs 7,000 pounds.
It’s also an $80,000+ car that was preordered by a lot of people without test driving it. So it’s primary driver is someone who makes risky and impulsive decisions.
So a really fast, heavy car that can’t see behind it without a reverse camera, driven by impulsive people makes me think the reverse camera should definitely come up really fast.
