Our soldiers are only sacred until they need healthcare or protest something, then fuck 'em.

Solving those problems is not part of science’s purview.

That’s less efficient time-wise though, since it takes significantly longer to walk the same distance riding.
- Comment on New lawsuit wants Valve to repay "billions" earned from "illegal gambling" lootboxes in Counter-Strike, Dota 2 and Team Fortress 2 1 week ago:
If this is considered gambling, then it logically follows that sports card, and CCG packs for things like Pokemon and Magic must be gambling too.
- Comment on Assuming an average value of $500k per-house, a millionaire could own two houses and a billionaire could own the entire neighborhood 1 week ago:
This one is my favorite for really conveying the difference in scale.
- Comment on How to I prove to someone that the U.S. moon landing wasn't staged? 1 week ago:
Their answer to that is “the mirror was placed by robots. We had the tech to get robots there, but not living people.”
I’ve had to deal with these people before.

Rimworld was already a friendlier Dwarf Fortress.
- Comment on YSK Your smoke detectors should be replaced every 7-10 years 3 weeks ago:
I know some manufacturers are even beginning to make detector units with non-replaceable batteries, intended to be replaced whole when the battery dies after years of runtime, to make it impossible to keep using a detector after its rated lifetime.
I’m sure that’s the reason say they do it, but that smells like standard corporate planned obsolescence and profit seeking with a great PR excuse.
- Comment on Docker Hub's trust signals are a lie — and Huntarr is just the latest proof 3 weeks ago:
Is manually upsetting based on trusting the accuracy of the release notes any more secure than just trusting “latest”?
- Comment on Moats are back! 3 weeks ago:
The ultra rich have always done this, we just used to call them “castles”.
- Comment on California’s New Bill Requires DOJ-Approved 3D Printers That Report on Themselves 3 weeks ago:

Have you not been paying attention to political news lately?

- Comment on When did it become normalized to start passing credit card processing fees to the customer? 4 weeks ago:
I’m my experience, most places like that set up their own ATM with absolutely extortionate fees as a way to get extra money.
- Comment on do most people really like the taste and smell of eggs? 5 weeks ago:
I’m neutral on the smell, but eggs are damn tasty.

I play it repeatedly, every few years or so. It has it’s flaws, but it’s still one of the best games ever made.
- Comment on Satya Nadella insists people are using Microsoft’s Copilot AI a lot 1 month ago:
Ohh, that would be all the developers at jobs with daily AI use mandates running scheduled scripts to make it look like they are using AI.
- Comment on AI agents now have their own Reddit-style social network, and it's getting weird fast 1 month ago:
There is no way to prevent prompt injection as long as there is no distinction between the data channel and the command channel.
- Comment on Denominator, go Mercator 1 month ago:
Why is the difference only extremely pronounced in the northern hemisphere? If I understand the math behind the projection correctly, the equator should be true scale, and things should vary more the further north AND south you go.
This image shows the extreme southern latitudes to be almost equal to their true area. Is the image wrong, or am I misunderstanding something about the projection?

- Comment on We used to have TV repairmen who would come if dad couldn't fix it with the tube from the grocery store kiosk. Weird. 2 months ago:
My best guess is that they are probably referring to a degaussing hoop. You used to be able to rent / borrow those to try to fix your TV if you kid played with magnets near it. If never describe it as a tube though.
- Comment on We'll probably never see a Grand Theft Auto set in a futuristic city like GTA 2 because the team "hated it": "People didn’t connect with the game or its city" 2 months ago:
Damn right! San Andreas is just the best, hands down. I’ve never understood the love for Vice City. It just always felt so limited compared SA.
