  I may be speaking from experience. I only pour grease into cans and foil now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breaking the generational barriers⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t pour hot grease in a glass jar or it’ll shatter and spill hot grease all over your counter and then when you grab a flimsy piece of plastic from the recycling and try to push it on to stop the spill and the plastic collapses and hot grease goes all over your forearm and gives you 2nd degree burns and your floor is covered in broken glass you will regret it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UPS is bullshit for international shipments⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s the fee for them to file the import paperwork for you. Every shipping company charges some amount for it. The customs broker we use at work charges $100 to do it. If you don’t want to pay it you have to call and tell them to hold your shipment at the border until you have it cleared through customs yourself, not a new thing.

  I don’t have any sympathy for someone who is clearly aware of how it works and thinks they can just bully their way out of paying charges they’re responsible for. The receiver is presumably also an adult who knows how to drive down to the UPS depot and pick up the package they refused to take delivery of the first time. You’re doing way more than you should to for someone who doesn’t deserve your time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UPS is bullshit for international shipments⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Other carriers definitely charge you a brokerage fee to do the customs clearance for you. Some are only around $8 iirc, very reasonable. The only time you don’t get charged is with Canada Post/ USPS de minimus packages.

  According to the manual I pulled up on Google the slots are right below where he’s holding the drive in the picture, but they support 80mm drives. 🤭

  You’re telling me there are malware detection tools that hit on the Chinese language? Like anything from China is malicious?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This Printer company served you malware for months, called them false positives⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The fact they’re still trying to blame “Chinese language” after presumably being provided with receipts?

  Oh I didn’t realize connecting a VR headset to my computer made it not a computer anymore

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half Life: Alyx is Five Years Old Today⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Fair but why not include a traditional mode so everyone can experience it. Otherwise it’s still just a gimmick to sell hardware

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half Life: Alyx is Five Years Old Today⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  the valve index is very expensive

  The whole kit is $1300 before tax

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half Life: Alyx is Five Years Old Today⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  With the little box doohickeys it’s currently $1300 CAD. I believe it used to be more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half Life: Alyx is Five Years Old Today⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Valve’s ‘official’ VR hardware costs $1500. Ain’t no way 😆

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half Life: Alyx is Five Years Old Today⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The reason it’s forgotten because most people aren’t able to play it. If valve really did put important story in a game that they knew most gamers would never be able to play that’s kind of shitty
