• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Behold: Vent Reznor⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Imagine trying to tell it to him and trying to explain things like “… so then a company named Id invented a game for teenagers to shoot each other over and over…”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Behold: Vent Reznor⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I was a 90’s kid living in an area with a lot of machine shops heated by Reznor HVAC, it was a favorite bit of triva for us.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did you have one of these?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  My grandfather was a gadget guy, so the year these came out everyone in the family got one. I used mine for a couple years with varying amounts of success.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are you so young that you have never been in a car with one of these?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember when lighters for all all seats was listed as a selling feature.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Behold: Vent Reznor⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Trent’s great-grandfather started the company in 1888, but the family sold it off in the 1960s.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm never going back to Matrix - Terence Eden⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I became adept in IRC in early 90s when I was under 10 years old, before my BB provider was even a full ISP (so I couldn’t even look up help on what existed of the early web). Every time I hear an adult claim its too complicated/obscure/esoteric I realize how how close to the medical exam scene in Idiocracy we’ve gotten in a few short decades.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can risk having an organic thought⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  First thing I do with my phone in the morning is turn off my alarm. That fills me with enough loathing for the device that I don’t look at is again for a few hours.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are password managers secure to use?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think your question has been answered by other pretty well but I’ll add: If you decide a password manager is overall beneficial and choose one that looks secure, don’t assume it will stay that way. LastPass taught us that a couple decisions that valid one day can turn into huge liabilities in a few years as threats escalate. You to have to periodically check in on what sevops pros are saying about your manager and make sure they haven’t been resting on their laurels.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Antz in my Pantz⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  we conservatively estimate 20 × 1015 (20 quadrillion) ants on Earth, with a total biomass of 12 megatons of dry carbon. This exceeds the combined biomass of wild birds and mammals and equals 20% of human biomass. – source

  If there’s a lot of something, we mammals are going to learn how to eat it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Behold, a better mousetrap!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I immediately wanted to photoshop a screwdriver into one of its paws but I can’t get that done in a work break.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did you have one of these?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I had an weird CD/Cassette boombox in HS. The CD player could be pulled out and had its own battery compartment so it could be a portable CD player. The CD player took 6 AA batteries and had no skip protection.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Didn't ask.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We’re being shunned by the galaxy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨High Fashion⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Jumping spiders are some of the cutest animals.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What else should I self-host?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, its apparently borked and I didn’t realize it. I’ve never gotten an IP ban but I also wasn’t using it a ton - mostly just for when I’d search for instructions on something an a YT vid was my only option.

  I mainly use Nebula for watching videos. And the handful of creators I follow who are strictly youtube, get slurped up by ytdlp via Pinchflat

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What else should I self-host?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I host a number of alternate frontends. Alexandrite for Lemmy, Redlib for Reddit, Invidious for Youtube. And then I have the Privacy Redirect extension make any links to Reddit or Youtube go to my local.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Children never lie⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Didn’t color inside the lines.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please settle a debate. A kid in the womb is better off listening to stuff like cat in the hat so it can be read to it at bedtime? Or history of the world during the womb and read it later?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Jonathan Swift

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨please don't tell my boss I've been posting memes on the clock⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Post your memes when the tomato timer goes off and everything is above board… or so I tell myself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breaking the generational barriers⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We always have at least one thing on our counter that would otherwise be thrown into recycling, but it was rinsed and kept because it’ll make a good grease receptacle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think you mean, why are AI companies plagiarizing the Greendale flag. AI Pluribus Anus

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Companies That Tried to Save Money With AI Are Now Spending a Fortune Hiring People to Fix Its Mistakes⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Microsoft did the June layoffs we knew were coming since January and pinned it on “AI cost savings” so doing so would raise their stock price instead of lower it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oatmeal⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Look at cute little Ibuprofin!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breaking: Netflix has made another minor change for their subscribers.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t watch the sewage pipe much but I kept up my subscription for the next seasons of Corn and Asparagus, but when they raised the price I had to finally cancel.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the "dip"?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Mock the Week was cancelled for revealing the truth of The Dip

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Man, I hate it when this happens!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What if Felis catus is an alien race that enslaved humanity and play with our genitals, and the reason they all look strange in art from this period is because they hadn’t finished adapting to earth yet?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m an 18, but I’m here to see if anyone is routinely Donald Ducking it in bed, with a 5, 10, or 15.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lucy In The Sky ...Something...Something With Grandma?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They gave Betty White the best lines in that movie.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tips for TPU?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I suspect that cleaning the glue off the textured sheets is a bigger pain in the butt than off the smooth. But I say that as someone who never tried to clean PVA off of TPU.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tips for TPU?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I just use my textured sheet and remove very carefully - but I tend to use harder TPUs which makes flexing the sheet more effective.

  I have heard people say that TPU is the reason they still keep a glue stick handy and the Prusa material matrix says to use it on their smooth PEI sheet. And it suggests a polypropylene sheet is also applicable.
