  My Peloton can do this, how come my TV can’t? This technology exists and would not be that difficult to implement for digital media.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Taste the flavor⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I like spicy things. I eat spicy things all the time. One time maybe 10 years ago I ate a “stinger” pie from a pizza place. It was a pizza with hot peppers and hot pepper oil. It was so spicy and so so good.

  The events that occurred in the next 24 hours were something to behold. I was sitting on the toilet, sweating, shaking, and making my peace with God. It was an all day event. Full throttle.

  Since then, my intestinal fortitude has been severely diminished. I have to be careful about eating things too spicy or it will mess me up. It’s like I built up a thick intestinal lining over years and years, and this one event tore down the walls. They were blasted out.

  Life has not been the same.

  Who the fuck has you keep your shoes on? I keep mine on, but if somebody comes over and asks if they should take their shoes off I just say “whatever makes you comfortable. On or off, doesn’t matter to me”

  That’s weird.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Man posts his incorrect opinion online⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not the person you are responding to, but I am a fellow shoes-oner. I find the soles of my shoes to be way more comfortable than walking on the ground. Like I go to shoes-off homes and they have these foam mats on the floor in their kitchen and it’s like “imagine those foam mats were on the bottom of your feet and went with you everywhere”. Additionally I live in a place where it gets cold. Cold feet suck.

  Now before the “well then wear slippers” gang comes in. I have tried that. The soles of slippers pale in comparison to whatever the fuck my Allbirds are made out of. Additionally, slippers are often TOO warm. I don’t want cold feet, but I also don’t want sweaty feet.

  If I have to wear boots or larger/warmer shoes because of snow/rain, I will absolutely take those off at the door. But when I take them off, I am putting on my Allbirds.

  For me, ultimate foot comfort is my sneakers. I’ll take my shoes off if you have a shoes off home, but I’m not going to enjoy it.

  IT admin here, we certainly do know how to do it, and already have. It’s an appx package, and it’s really not difficult to remove.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon angers retailers by listing products from other sites without consent⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup, there it is. At first I was like “well it routes them to the sellers website, so that’s good, right?”

  But I had to stop and think “No. That’s not how Amazon operates. What’s in it for them?”

  And it’s this. This is 1000% the plan.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I can still smell them⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think there was even one more evolution where the plastic caps came in a strip instead of a ring. The strip was put in a magazine that slid into the bottom of the pistol. Most of them just moved the strip up as they fired, but if I recall correctly there were even ones that cut each cap off individually after firing it and ejected it like an empty shell. Awful for litter, but pretty cool for cap gun technology. I am pretty sure all of this stuff has been banned where I live.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The dominoes are falling: motherboard sales down 50% as PC enthusiasts are put off by stinking memory prices⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah that crossed my mind, but if I’m not mistaken Pokemon was developed by Game Freak, only licensed by Nintendo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The dominoes are falling: motherboard sales down 50% as PC enthusiasts are put off by stinking memory prices⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, that’s capitalism, right? The manufacturers see that their product is still selling at a 300% markup, why would they bring the price back down when they can just make more profit if/when costs for them come back down? Sure they might drop it a little to make it “look” like a good deal. Just like GPUs. They went from being $600 for high end, to being $2000. Then when they announced that the next Gen was “only” going to be $1200 everybody was like “Wow! What a great deal!”

  I hate this timeline. They just keep figuring out new ways to squeeze money out of me and ruining my hobbies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The dominoes are falling: motherboard sales down 50% as PC enthusiasts are put off by stinking memory prices⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  As much (well deserved) hate that Nintendo gets, they are fantastic at this. They seem to be able to make games look good on low powered systems with stylistic decisions and smart optimization/coding. They learned some pretty important things in the NES/SNES era about using tricks to squeeze performance out of the few KB/MB they had to work with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is 100.00% decompiled⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The code for the game has been decompiled. From my understanding that means it’s now readable and can be ported over to other places with some work. What that means is that a true “PC Version” can be made, which will have the ability to support things like widescreen/high resolution, high framerates, native keyboard/controller support as well as whatever mods people feel like developing (new maps, new modes, etc) - in the case of Mario 64, when this happened people got to work on a Multiplayer version, which works really well. So it opens up a lot of possibilities.

  Hah. Remember in the Xbox 360 era when everything looked like it was wrapped in saran wrap? I hated that so much. It’s like - some if not most objects are not that reflective. Yes light bounces off of things, but it’s such an “all or none” solution. Things in real life are so much more diffused.

  I got in trouble in Middle School for printing out an entire FF6 guide from GameFAQs. It had all of the items and their stats, all of the spells, espers, maps etc. It was absolutely massive and the administration was not happy about me using all of that paper and toner. Already printed it, sucks to be them. 3 hole punched it at home and put it in a binder. It was awesome.

  He responded to this rumor in his autobiography saying “If I really got my ribs removed, I would have been busy sucking my own dick on The Wonder Years instead of chasing Winnie Cooper.

  “I think it’s mostly, if not all, a matter of better diagnostic tools and procedures.”

  This is the winner right here. If you ask your parents or grandparents about people they went to school with who were “a little weird” or “really shy” or “really into trains” or whatever it is. It was all just undiagnosed autism. The percentage of people with autism hasn’t changed. The percentage of people correctly diagnosed has. And of course it’s a spectrum. In the past they only diagnosed severely autistic people. Now with more understanding of it, we realize that it comes in several mild flavors as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have you encountered this?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This may be anecdotal, but I ran into this exact same issue a few weeks ago. The suggested 20% was significantly higher than the 20% on the bill. It took me a little bit to figure out, but we were at the restaurant for a steak special and happy hour. The 20% tip was for the non-special price. For example, the steak and two sides special was $18, but the normal price was $28. The drinks were $5 but the normal price was $8. So the suggested tip was 20% of $36, not 20% of $23. These aren’t the exact numbers, and there were two of us, but you get the idea. The POS/Tip suggestion is setup so the servers don’t get the shit end of the stick when the restaurant is doing a deal/special. I’m not sure I fully agree with it, and I have my own beef with tipping culture in general, but I’m just looking to explain what might be seen in OP’s photo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK Employers do NOT verify your total work history unless you're applying for a government position.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This one is so crazy to me. I have two friends that seem to be facing this issue right now. One took 6 months off after being laid off from his job because he wanted to, had enough money to, and just wanted to take some time off and travel etc. He keeps getting grilled about it, and has been job hunting for another 6 months on top of it. Now he’s been unemployed for a year and is getting grilled even harder for it. Why is that a problem? Like why do people see that as some kind of flaw? “I had the resources to take some time off so I did” seems perfectly fine to me

  The other friend was suffering from severe burnout and decided to take a year off to get his own mental health in order. Once again, I don’t see the problem with that. If you can afford to take a year off and that’s what you want to do with your time and money, then right on, go do that. Life is for living. But now he’s having a very hard time getting a job because of it.

  Its kinda bullshit.
