  I have removed my car’s muffler and modified it to be even louder.

  I skip rope in my apartment in the middle of the night.

  I walk right towards the front of a queue pretending to only have a quick question to ask and then I get my job done while I’m there.

  I do use my indicator lights, but only 0.46 seconds before I actually turn.

  I flush used cooking oil down the toilet.

  I yell at the screen throughout the entire movie at the cinema.

  I feed people’s pets without asking.

  I accelerate when approaching a pedestrian crossing.

  I empty a full can of axe body spray onto myself before using crowded public transportation.

  I stop showering 6 days prior to attending cultural events.

  I do not wipe down the devices at the gym after using them.

  I think the last Star Wars trilogy was the best of the three.

  There is a trick to bypassing the Israeli defenses. Just make sure what you’re doing will be giving the unhinged leader of the genocidal regime a casus belli to launch a war of conquest that they can sell as a defensive war, and suddenly you’ll find you can do anything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's play this game again⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  But it’s an Apple keyboard.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Warhammer 40,000 Maker Games Workshop Is Doing So Well It’s Giving $27 Million to Its Staff⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s the painting and detailing that can be quite expensive and time consuming. You obviously don’t have to paint your minis, but that’s the entire point for a lot of people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It is like LLMs are massively overhyped and can't even do half the things its advertised...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The Fifth Element depicted a straight up utopia where gift wrapped Milla Jovoviches fall from the sky. I do not need any more than that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Metamorfuckthis⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sorry Boss, can’t come in. The half-eaten apple lodged into my exoskeleton has become infected.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And sir cumference, the sphere⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What are you doing in England?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the worst spelling you've seen?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Those were all human names first. Places named after people, not the other way around.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the worst spelling you've seen?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Daedric lord of soul crushing corporate vocabulary.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Life is unfair to landlords⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Killer pastry though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Prices are out of control⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Good butter straight from a dairy farm is super dangerous though. You can suddenly find yourself standing in your kitchen, no memory of the last 45 minutes, the fridge door open, a greasy knife in your hand, breadcrumbs all over the floor, and half the butter gone. Gotta be careful with that stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Resistance is futile⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Connecting to the network does not have to mean connecting to the internet. Basically every consumer grade router out there is capable of restricting a device to the local network only. It could reach other devices on the network and the other devices would be able to reach it, but it would still be cut off from the internet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are popes always really old?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If by “literally anyone” you mean any catholic man, then sure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Godfrey IV, Duke of Lower Lorraine, when he hears breathing under the latrine he's using [Day 116]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Is that the guy who was stabbed in the anus by a toilet child climbing up the poop chute?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Car sun visor with built-in navigation⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t count on it. On really hot days the interior of a car sitting under the sun can reach petg’s glass transition temp. I’ve had petg prints, also attached to the visor as it happens, soften up and deform in my car.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gimli Giblets⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Past experiences

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Definitely wasn't late to work making this⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So that the toddler can enter the workforce and start pulling itself up by the bootstraps as soon as possible. The lithium mines need more bodies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What host names do you use?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have node named pve too. Small world.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Volkswagen ID. EVERY1 is an affordable EV for the masses⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well I drive a heavily touch-screenified car, and I hate it. Have had the damn thing for almost a year but I still get nervous when I have to adjust the A/C.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Volkswagen ID. EVERY1 is an affordable EV for the masses⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They won’t stop until even the pedals are touch buttons, are they?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨List of Jeff Bezos Companies⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That is woke. Banned.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Brother accused of locking down third-party printer ink cartridges via forced firmware updates, removing older firmware versions from support portals⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You can have devices on your wifi network without giving them access to the internet. You set your firewall (which, for most people, is the router that comes with the internet subscription) to block all internet traffic while still allowing them to communicate with the other devices on the same local network. Fairly straightforward on most routers with a little bit of time spent looking up the basics.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I genuinely don’t see the problem with those. Amber lights on the left side of the car light up, that can only mean one thing. There is no ambiguity there whether they’re playing snake or just flashing. I have never, on no occasion, found myself confused by those.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hope you weren’t planning to play PhysX games on Nvidia’s new 50-series GPUs⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The only part of physx in that game that I remember is that it used to cause massive performance and stability issues.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Twice, because usually it’s two sticks.

  In any case, RAM failure is rare enough that quadrupling its chances is not gonna make any meaningful difference. Even if it does, RAM is the easiest thing to replace in a PC. Don’t even need to go offline while waiting for a new stick. Someone who’s got the cash to build that thing in the first place won’t be too upset by the cost of another 32gb stick either, I don’t think.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New thermoelectric generator converts vehicle exhaust heat into electricity, boosting fuel efficiency⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This concept isn’t new either. Factories have been using very similar methods to use the heat of the exhaust gasses to power the sensors and whatnot on top of their smoke stacks for some time now, for example.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PSN Is Still Down After 14 Hours And No One Knows Why⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nobody’s gonna dispute the necessity of some sort of server somewhere in the mix. But does it need to be something like PSN? A central 3rd party service that most games only use because they’re forced to?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what was the last game you played in 2024?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Stellaris. As a hyper-aggressive, warmongering, Rome-obsessed species of lovebirds. All the organic aliens have been turned into GMO livestock and all the machine aliens have been forced into slavery. I bomb the planets into oblivion not because I need to, but because I imagine my pretty birds would enjoy doing it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Migrating from Nextcloud AIO to Owncloud Infinite Scale: Good Idea?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Podman has a built-in automatic update feature that monitors the source repo. Could be useful for you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨T-Mobile, AT&T oppose unlocking rule, claim locked phones are good for users⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  How does that work? Based on imei perhaps? Does spoofing that not do the trick?
