Waah. 😂
- Comment on Kid gave a reasonable answer without all the math bullshit 10 hours ago:
It really seemed like my fellow students lost their interest in math as we went through the grades here in the US.
I still remember a kid in 2nd grade who learned how Roman numerals worked because they were interesting. By grade 6, actively detested math.
Curious.

Hell no, unlike you lameasses I have an actual job to do.
- Comment on The first driverless semis have started running regular longhaul routes | CNN Business 4 weeks ago:
Thanks dude, well aware they’re looking for an AC signal. The added magnet isn’t going to influence that, is my point.
Besides limited magnetic permeability of the magnet itself (the thing the loop is looking for), it’s physically not big enough. What you really need is an amplified field distortion, e.g. a field coil which reads the sinusoidal signal being emanated by the sense coil, and loudly plays the inverse back so the sense coil thinks a giant block of steel slid over it.
- Comment on The first driverless semis have started running regular longhaul routes | CNN Business 4 weeks ago:
No, it won’t. I invite you to get some large magnets and place them directly on the loop cuts in the street.

Dude I remember visiting the Caribbean, a car ran over one of these lengthwise and it was badly injured but alive.
Where the what the fuck??m

Sheesh. Better setup a secondary destination for my customers just in case.
- Comment on UK creating ‘murder prediction’ tool to identify people most likely to kill. 1 month ago:
Didn’t they try this in Florida and it basically became officers harassing the fuck out of a teenage kind and his mom at all hours of the night?
- Comment on Risks of self-hosting a public-facing forum? 1 month ago:
Somehow 4chan admins have largely escaped legal consequences for this stuff, and I don’t think it’s just because of sec230.
Not a fan of 4chan, but I do note both their and the pirate bay’s operation scheme.
- Comment on Risks of self-hosting a public-facing forum? 2 months ago:
Sounds like hosting outside the US is a possible solution. Many things to be careful of, regardless.
- Comment on Garmin adds AI and a subscription tier to its app 2 months ago:
What’s crazy is I’m on the fence about a beeline moto because they have subscription for basic shit like traffic, thinking Garmin would be better.
Welp.
- Comment on Definitely didn't waste half an hour making this 2 months ago:
Nah. Fine enough for detail work, but thick enough to handle varying pressure for shading of isometric representations.

Alvin DM07. No other, maybe #3 because I liked that the lead automatically rotated on each press. But Alvin all the way.

- Comment on Rant! 100GB Log file in Nextcloud. 3 months ago:
Ideally yes, but I’ve had to do this regularly for many services developed both in-house and out of house.
Solve problems, and maybe share your work if you like, I think we all appreciate it.
- Comment on Im thinking we still have a deeper bottom 3 months ago:
Your ignorant speech and actions say otherwise. People do care, otherwise you wouldn’t be responding, limp jackass.
- Comment on Im thinking we still have a deeper bottom 3 months ago:
You hate people who want to be genuinely free to the point that you support stripping freedoms from others.
I hate freedom-haters like you. If you don’t like it here, get out.

Another alternative could be epoxying some beefy metal nuts around the inner perimeter, mostly towards the bottom.

Fuck you ICE, you’re a low quality wack organization filled with scum who couldn’t even make it as regular cops.

Works a treat.
- Comment on California just debunked a big myth about renewable energy 4 months ago:
Most systems I’ve interacted with used what’s called an ats, automatic transfer switch, to be sure you’re not energizing the grid so one can self support in an emergency.
I’ve never seen a system so far that wouldn’t run isolated, but maybe I’ve been lucky 🤷
- Comment on California just debunked a big myth about renewable energy 4 months ago:
Sheesh I didn’t know the inverters may not run without a grid reference. Where have you seen that, what a terrible idea!
LOL imagine they skimped on a 555 generating 60Hz when in local mode.
