- Comment on Covid․gov now points to a ‘lab leak’ conspiracy website 6 days ago:
That article says that a House Republican-led subcommittee came to that conclusion based on shakey evidence at best, made several other unfounded claims unrelated to the origin, and was criticized heavily by House Democrats. Their main piece of evidence was the Wuhan lab experimenting with distantly related COVID variants.
I would not call that “confirmed”.

That’s actually a thing
- Comment on U.S. Is Added to Human Rights Watchlist 1 week ago:
That’s what I’m saying though. It’s easy to say “Hey, this is a problem that needs to be addressed”. It’s a lot harder to address that problem. People aren’t laying on the brakes because brakes don’t just materialize from the aether by magic right when they’re needed most. You have to harvest the raw rubber, vulcanize it, shape it into a pad, affix that pad to a caliper, wrap that assembly around a rotor, connect that assembly to some kind of actuator, connect that actuator to some kind of control mechanism, connect that mechanism to the brake pedal. These things take time, effort, and organization. Denigrating the collision sensor isn’t helping.

Not just can, we have to be.

Not seeing a whole lot of leftist surgeons around here either, so.
- Comment on U.S. Is Added to Human Rights Watchlist 1 week ago:
Okay? What are the watchlist people going to do about that? They’re the diagnostician, not the surgeon. There are multiple different organizations in the world which do different things, or doesn’t make sense to blame an organization for not doing the things outside the scope of their power. They’re there to warn people and they’re warning people. Where’s your task force? No one’s going to swoop in to save us, this is on us.
- Comment on U.S. Is Added to Human Rights Watchlist 1 week ago:
It’s a watchlist, not a task force. The scope is to inform international travelers of dangerous destinations, not make those destinations less dangerous.
- Comment on Straight people, do you know what the Grindr notification sound is? 1 week ago:
I turned on my volume the other night to make sure I heard my alarm, and forgot to turn it off. I learned a lot of notification sounds that day. Or would have if I’d paid attention beyond “Oh, a notification”

It is without a doubt the most recent rap lyrics I’ve ever encountered.
- Comment on returning to SLA-resin printing: Which printer, curing station & resin? 1 week ago:
I use the Elegoo Saturn printer and Mercury curing station. No problems so far. I use an old plastic container for my initial wash, and reserve the included container purely for the final wash. I’ve had no issues so far. They’re fairly cheap, especially if you buy second-hand; mine came from the official Elegoo eBay page for refurbished products. I got both for about $300.
For resin, I basically exclusively use the Saturn for tabletop minis, so I use Sunlu ABS-Like because it has enough flexibility that arms and stuff flex a bit instead of breaking. If you want something more rigid I can’t really suggest anything.

- Comment on Are most people here left-wing? 2 weeks ago:
I promote right-wing policies: you should always use the right wings for your airplane, using whatever wings you happen to have left in stock is a recipe for disaster. Left-wing policies are dangerous.
- Comment on Peak Trump Performance 2 weeks ago:
My grandad, a Trump voter, has several times in the past talked about how golf is like life: it doesn’t matter if the sun was in your eyes, or a dog barked in the middle of your swing, or a sudden breeze pushed your drive off target, all that matters at the end of the day is the number you put in that little box, no excuses. The irony is lost on him.

The argument is “The common way of dealing with it is bad”. Don’t have to be perfect to be better.

Me either, but I would still prefer it to be clean.

- Comment on James Bond is responsible for many wasted vodka martinis 3 weeks ago:
I read a theory that the shaken thing is to deliberately dilute the drink. Shaking melts more ice, which waters down the drink a bit, in order to stay relatively level-headed for any high stakes spying you might have to do later.

- Comment on Majority of AI Researchers Say Tech Industry Is Pouring Billions Into a Dead End 5 weeks ago:
Mixture of experts is the future of AI. Breakthroughs won’t come from bigger models, it’ll come from better coordinated conversations between models.
- Comment on Are old people usually attracted to other old people? 5 weeks ago:
As seems to be the consensus, I still find people in their 20s physically attractive, but the prospect of spending any significant amount of time talking to most people more than 5 or so years separated from my age is pretty exhausting. If we’re talking long term relationships, I’d rather compromise a bit on looks in favor of a roughly contemporary personality than vice versa. And, as I get older, my threshold for “attractive” softens a bit to accommodate that personality.

First functional print in a little while, got tired of fixing with silverware year trays that didn’t quite fit so I modeled one to fit the drawer and my utensils perfectly.
- Comment on The billionaires and politicians did it 1 month ago:
Yeah, but if they’re in a sufficiently abstracted industry, the domino chain of failing petit bourgeoise will sustain them until retirement. Especially when you’ve already got enough to live comfortably, might as well squeeze as much juice out as possible, quarter by quarter. The aftermath is someone else’s problem.

That and also reasonable corruption. You can only do so much within the system when the system is rotten.
