- Comment on Me emitting 20KG of CO2 by using Google search to spellcheck individual words 2 weeks ago:
Most of the time for me it’s not even that the spell checker doesn’t know the word, it’s that it can’t unmangle my typing or misspelling. Teh it knows is wrong, and obviously knows ‘the’, but doesn’t even suggest it as a correction.
- Comment on If someone opened a store and just sold stuff at cost, which undercuts every other competitors by alot. Would this not for the big corps to come way down on their prices? 2 weeks ago:
You mean googlw fiber?

You kinda have to when most local spell checkers suck so bad.
- Comment on Question, Star Trek fans: What makes Captain Kirk a good leader? 2 weeks ago:
High situational awareness allowing decisive action, and impeccable plot armor.
- Comment on Im pan so anyone can apply 2 weeks ago:
Ah Spring is in the air…and the drains apparently.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
I think the bigger problem is going to be too much support for solo play. A big part of what made EQ work was getting people into groups and guilds and the connections made in that pursuit. Without it, the game was just a boring grind, the game play and story lines were all very basic.
- Comment on You're likely already infected with a brain-eating virus you've never heard of 2 weeks ago:
You’ve also been exposed to brain eating ameba, repeatedly.
- Comment on Robot dogs priced at $300,000 a piece are now guarding some of the country’s biggest data centers 2 weeks ago:
So is there a resale value on these? And what kind of serial number system are they using?
- Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game 3 weeks ago:
Sure just double the vram and your AI can run, unfortunately you can’t afford that vram because billionaires are running AI.
- Comment on Is "dark humor" generally acceptable or is it just my parents/culture more sensitive towards jokes? 4 weeks ago:
I’ve found that people who are offended by dark humor (the non racist variety) tend to be people I don’t like, and don’t trust alone with children.
- Comment on What should've been the point or points for society to throw up their hands and stop supporting the government? 5 weeks ago:
Reagan openly committing treason by selling arms to Iran.
- Comment on The list is realistically so much longer. 5 weeks ago:
Asking if you trust the government is a stupid loaded question. No one trusts the government. You don’t trust a loaded gun, but it’s the best tool to have in your hand if someone’s trying to kill you. Government isn’t something you trust, it’s a tool that might be the best for some jobs.
- Comment on Ultra wealthy want global nuclear war to create nuclear Winter in hopes of slowing down human climate change. They'll rebuild after it's safe to leave their bunkers. 5 weeks ago:
Don’t need to feed a horde, just enough of them to shoot the rest.
- Comment on Ultra wealthy want global nuclear war to create nuclear Winter in hopes of slowing down human climate change. They'll rebuild after it's safe to leave their bunkers. 5 weeks ago:
Clean water and food can be incredibly valuable when no on else has any.
- Comment on California law to require operating systems to check your age 5 weeks ago:
I made no claim as to it’s effectiveness. Just as an age verification in an OS would also have a failure rate.
- Comment on Ultra wealthy want global nuclear war to create nuclear Winter in hopes of slowing down human climate change. They'll rebuild after it's safe to leave their bunkers. 5 weeks ago:
Ok, but a nuclear war wrecks things, and a bunker hoards value. So you’re not really disagreeing.
- Comment on California law to require operating systems to check your age 5 weeks ago:
Cars have an age check already, it’s called a license.
- Comment on Microsoft AI chief gives it 18 months—for all white-collar work to be automated by AI | Fortune 1 month ago:
In 18 months I can see us where the Star Wars universe portrayed droids. As in ‘Oh great, another talking tin can, just what the galaxy needs. Can someone turn this thing off?’

Never be the one holding the gun in a resistance situation.
- Comment on SSD prices in yet more trouble as two of the biggest hard drive makers have already sold out their 2026 stock 1 month ago:
At these prices, they can’t even afford a picture of an SSD.
- Comment on Why is amperage more "obscure" than voltage (or watts)? 1 month ago:
Amps are used when deciding the wiring. So that afterwords you know if your plug matches, it works in that outlet.
- Comment on Amazon's Ring and Google's Nest Unwittingly Reveal the Severity of the U.S. Surveillance State 1 month ago:
Never said it was an easy lift. There’s a long road between where we are and a functioning society. And currently most of Europe is in the lead.
- Comment on Amazon's Ring and Google's Nest Unwittingly Reveal the Severity of the U.S. Surveillance State 1 month ago:
We need legislation with teeth before they manage to get this in every house. It’s going to happen. Your phone, TV, doorbell, car, crosswalks and street signs are all going to be recording and tracking you eventually. Just recognize that’s going to happen no matter what, and get real oversight and rules into place now. If we wait until it’s all locked, the ruling party will never let it end.
- Comment on Twenty four US states are now considering legislation to allow small, plug-in solar power systems that connect directly into a wall socket. 1 month ago:
Small wind is horrible, the efficiency of wind is entirely based on the swept area of the blades. At scale it’s great, but at household sizes it’s just not worth the cost. Turbines and windmills are a ‘Go big, or go home’ situation as far as being cost effective. Solar, even with batteries, is more cost effective for household or mobile sizes.
- Comment on How are locks and keys mass produced? 1 month ago:
Each tumbler has 4 to 6 sizes in 3 to 6 holes. They set the combination, then cut the key and put the matching tumblers in a standard housing.
Half the security on most locks is that it’s hard to get tools in the tiny slots. The actual number of combinations is small, but difficult to scan through.
- Comment on Man posts his incorrect opinion online 1 month ago:
Being barefoot is a luxury not everyone has. Combine that with not being able to wear slip on shoes and it’s a bit of a bigger problem.
- Comment on Man posts his incorrect opinion online 1 month ago:
Laced shoes are a pita to flip on and off. If you’re in a dry area there’s no reason to take off your shoes.
If you can wear sandals, or it’s a wet sloppy environment, then yeah it makes sense to take them off at the door.
- Comment on If the 2028 United States presidential election was held today, who would you vote for? 2 months ago:
I’ll vote for the candidate that I think is going to do the most to advance the policy goals I’d like. Right now that happens to be the opposite of everything the GoP is doing, and half of what the Dems are doing.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
Canada, and any other free country, should be checking their administration for anyone with financial ties to the US or any other country buying membership in Trumps club. They’re a security threat and should be treated as such.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
There have been policy discussions about lock down quarantines for decades. Though many assumed it would be some form of rabid TB. It never gets into any serious policy until there’s already something horrible going on.
