They dont really beleive it, its a lie. They are a liar.

Easy solution, should make everyone happy:
We know the current price of child care at the current rate. We can extrapolate that out for the next 50 years and beyond.
If the price goes above that at time in the next 50-100 years, Western Bulldogs will pay the difference on behalf of parent.
WB is sure it’ll lower fees, so its 0 risk to them right?
- Comment on Is flirting redundant? 6 days ago:
Do you mean like pickup lines? If so, yeah, I dont think those are necessary anymore. But that said, I haven’t dated in years, so what would I know :/
- Comment on Is flirting redundant? 6 days ago:
Flirting is how you build connection? Perhaps we have different ideas on what flirting is, but to me, its the things you do to build a connection (talking, joking, hanging out, etc). So if you dont do those things, you’ll not build a connection.
- Comment on After Israel and USA's bombing, wouldn't any supposed nuclear bombs go off if there were any? 1 week ago:
Not necessarily. Nuclear weapons generally require fairly precise timing in order to go critical and properly explode.
If the timing is off, it’ll still spread nuclear material around, but it won’t make the large mushroom cloud style explosion.

If your willing to wait, and can accept some shipping time, there is: jlc3dp.com
They’ll quote you on the site, and will advise for materials and costs.
- Comment on CEOs Are Creating AI Copies of Themselves That Are Spouting Braindead Hallucinations to Their Confused Underlings 2 weeks ago:
Except that these are AIs trained on the CEOs thoughts, so its a bit of a “We trained him wrong, as a joke” situation.
- Comment on What are some good places/activities where a middle-aged man can new make friends? 2 weeks ago:
Archery. Relatively cheap sport to get into (no consumable bullets).
As for limited mobility, that depends on what you mean, wheelchair - not a problem, upper body - maybe a problem, depending on the extent. Crossbows can solve the strength part, but if you can’t aim, that will be a bit harder.

Spouting braindead hallucinations
So how do you tell the difference?
- Comment on Open Source Paid Remote Desktop 2 weeks ago:
Actually, (and I wasn’t aware of this until you mentioned it), it does support serverless connections:
github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk/wiki/FAQ#i-only-use-…
So I think between cloud server, self hosted server and direct IP, OP should be covered.
- Comment on Open Source Paid Remote Desktop 2 weeks ago:
RustDesk (rustdesk.com) is open source, and similar to TeamViewer, and has paid plans, including a paid self hosted option.
- Comment on 9,500 O-type blood donors urged to donate immediately 3 weeks ago:
The short list I linked would be a good start though, at least excluding the common stuff would be a start.
- Comment on 9,500 O-type blood donors urged to donate immediately 3 weeks ago:
It would be good for them to update their eligibility quiz to include medications. I passed the quiz (and am type O-), but can’t donate due to medications.

- Comment on Australian high-speed rail has barely left the station – some experts say a new US project shows a better way 3 weeks ago:
Just gonna leave this here: arstechnica.com/…/manufacturer-deliberately-brick…
Of course, not a Chinese specific issue, but definitely highlights the need for complete maintenance access. The trains need to come with full source code and schematics, and it needs to be in the contracts, and enforced.
- Comment on Are standing seats on airliners actually going to be a thing? 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, further compounding the problem. And if standard carry-on luggage’s dont fit anymore, it’ll force more luggage into the hold, which will also run out of space. Unless there is a new plane built around the standing concept, I just can’t see it ever happening.
- Comment on Are standing seats on airliners actually going to be a thing? 5 weeks ago:
Realistically, no. Unless the airline also slashes the ticket prices in half, its just going to make them less popular than regular airline seats.
And even if they did manage to cram 2x more seats, there isnt enough space in the overhead lockers for 2x the luggage, so it just won’t work.
- Comment on Maybe Facebook, Spotify, Twitter and the like are scamming Advertisers about interaction stats thanks to AI-powered Bots. 5 weeks ago:
The site itself might be tracking views, so might need it. Dunno how to make the bots not look like datacenter IP addresses though.
- Comment on Maybe Facebook, Spotify, Twitter and the like are scamming Advertisers about interaction stats thanks to AI-powered Bots. 5 weeks ago:
If one were the size of google, and lacked ethics, they could bot the clicks as well as the views.

- Comment on I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store? 1 month ago:
Isn’t steam responsible for match making only, and the actual game company is responsible for the servers? Are you sure its not the game servers?
Either way, that would be very frustrating if its happening mid round.
- Comment on I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store? 1 month ago:
Whichever gaming store I buy into, I am going to spend thousands on games. I need to be able to trust that they’ll still exist in the future.
I trust (whether correctly or not) gaben more than sweeney.
Of course, the smart thing to do is buy from GOG and keep the games backed up yourself, but failing that, steam is the next most reliable store front.
This all boils down to a personal opinion though.
- Comment on I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store? 1 month ago:
My dislike of epic is that they seem to be buying their way into competing, instead of actually competing on features.
Free games sounds good now, but what happens when the fortnite gravy train runs out, and epic needs to start making a profit? They’ll likely have to enshittify fast.
Steam at least has a solid history of being generally good. But who knows what will happen if Gaben ever ascends.
- Comment on I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store? 1 month ago:
Does steam really have frequent multiplayer downtime issues? I’ve never notice any issues, but I don’t play a lot of multiplayer anymore.
- Comment on First Look at Google’s Unfinished DeX-Like Desktop Mode for Android 1 month ago:
Lol of course, but I have also briefly tried it on an s22 ultra, and it still wasn’t a great experience. Still not a new-new phone, but it still had similar stuttering/lagginess issues that just killed the experience for me.
But it probably depends on what each individual can tolerate.
- Comment on First Look at Google’s Unfinished DeX-Like Desktop Mode for Android 1 month ago:
Dont take this as an endorsement, I have 2 semi broken ones, but nexdock/uperfect make lapdocks. The touchpads are pretty awful though.
- Comment on First Look at Google’s Unfinished DeX-Like Desktop Mode for Android 1 month ago:
Having used dex on a Samsung s10, I think 1 still applies to some extent. But maybe new phones are better?
Single universal cable is pretty good though, definitely required.
- Comment on First Look at Google’s Unfinished DeX-Like Desktop Mode for Android 1 month ago:
Motorola have been doing desktop modes since the Atrix 4g. Samsung have had it for a long time as well (s8 or s9?). Its kinda crazy how slow google is at getting this out for stock android.
- Comment on Which kind of applications need legacy processor but up to date OS ? 1 month ago:
It could be things like ATM machines, that have bespoke motherboards, but need to be networked, and therefore patched.

Thats what I keep telling my wife!
- Comment on Eric Barone, the guy who can't stop updating Stardew Valley, says the words "I might eventually make a Stardew Valley 2" 1 month ago:
A while back he said he would stop developing Stardew Valley 1.
Either way, if he releases a sequal, instant buy from myself and my partner. He’s learnt our trust, and definitely deserves the money.
