At first I was like “this shit makes no sense and isn’t funny”
Then I got it and was proud of myself like I had actually accomplished something.
Take your fucking upvote and get out of here.

Fuuuuck it’s addictive. Love that I get it with Apple Arcade.

Thanks for sharing. Glad you’re happy.

Honest question:
How do you make money for things like food, automobile costs, and your connected device (assuming phone)? I’m not trying to make a broader point. I am genuinely curious.

General buying advice: 70” is a size used by manufacturers on budget units that use panels from prior years.
Go with 65” or 75”. Now, to find a balance of size and performance, 65” might be the better option.

I’ve seen XSearch recommended a few times but I’ve never used it myself:
- Comment on Do any "thickening" products actually work to prevent hair loss/thinning? 2 months ago:
I started thinning rapidly in my early 20s which prompted me to act. Within a few months the thinning stopped and in the back I’ve been about the same since. Front started thinning a few years ago which prompted the finasteride and that seems to be slowing it.
I don’t know for sure, you’re right, but I also see no incentive to prove my experience wrong since the risk isn’t worth it, to me.
- Comment on Do any "thickening" products actually work to prevent hair loss/thinning? 2 months ago:
I started using Rogaine (generic versions) when I was around 25. I’m 40 now. It slowed my hair loss considerably and I have a pretty good head of hair still. My dad was completely done by 35.
I recently added Finasteride to the mix and I’m comfortable with the results.
Some people will tell you to embrace it and that’s ok too. I just didn’t want to if I didn’t have to.
- Comment on Does anyone know what happened to the Surface Duo? 3 months ago:
It was terribly overpriced for the feature set. It also felt uniquely unpolished software wise.

- Comment on Proton mail launches LLM and crypto wallet 3 months ago:
All of this convinced me to give up on moving all my accounts to their service and just use the iCloud service I already pay for. Trying to get away from GMail and Google’s privacy policies, but it felt like these moves indicated greater change coming to a service I was sincerely optimistic about prior.

It’s like the original blueprints were a word document and the architect tried to paste in an image.
- Comment on what's your experience washing sneakers in the washing machine? 4 months ago:
I bought a mesh sneaker bag from Amazon that is designed to keep them safe in the wash and it seems to do the trick each time. Just be sure to take out in the insole before washing.

I’m surprised more brands aren’t simply defaulting to Threads. You still see links to their Xitter profile instead of Threads.
I prefer Mastodon, myself, but I get why major brands would prefer a centralized network.
- Comment on "I lost trust": Why the OpenAI team in charge of safeguarding humanity imploded 5 months ago:
I mean is this stuff even really AI? It has no awareness of what it’s saying. It’s simply calculating the most probable next work in a typical sentence and spewing it out. I’m not sure this is the tech that will decide humanity is unnecessary
- Comment on Marvels Rivals requires creators to sign a contract that removes your right to give a negative review to access the playtest 6 months ago:
I’m assuming it’s with regards to the Play Test which is in very early stages and shouldn’t be judged as completed. Seems fair enough if it’s nowhere near complete

That one got me as soon as I zoomed in. It’s perfect. No notes needed.
- Comment on The Man Who Destroyed Google Search 6 months ago:
That’s odd. Were you using Pro? I find pro to be less reliable, oddly enough. I always check the citations which is why I like their approach.
- Comment on The Man Who Destroyed Google Search 6 months ago:
Read this a week or so ago and it’s a fantastic summarization of the core problem. I almost never use Google search anymore. I go between DuckDuckGo and Perplexity.
- Comment on Generative AI could soon decimate the call center industry, says CEO 6 months ago:
I have experience on the reseller side of the electronics business. I will tell you that most big resellers (Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, etc) will do more in situations like this than the actual companies themselves. I’ve seen it a lot. Sure, it’s anecdotal evidence, but I’ve also read a ton of complaints over the years on Reddit of similar situations.
These first party manufacturers are manufacturers first and retail shops second (or third) so they put less effort on that side.
- Comment on Generative AI could soon decimate the call center industry, says CEO 6 months ago:
Never, and I repeat NEVER, buy directly from most manufacturers. For whatever reason, their customer service on the consumer purchase side always seems to suck. Buy from authorized resellers who care more about the relationship with their customers.

That doesn’t sound like good solution if I ever need to remove the door.
- Comment on Door hinge pin keeps coming up. How to solve? 6 months ago:
A screw in hinge pin might do the trick. I have to look into that.

- Comment on Apple keeps flogging 8GB of RAM for its Mac computers but it's still a dead horse 6 months ago:
Everyone’s experience and usage is different, but I have a base M2 MacBook Air with 8gb of RAM and besides web browsing, streaming/air playing some videos, and typing some documents, I don’t do much else. I never feel the need for more RAM.
- Comment on Homeowner baffled after washing machine uses 3.6GB of internet data a day 7 months ago:
You can also use it to start a load while you’re at work when you didn’t want your clothes sitting after washing all day. True, there’s old school delay functions but this gives a little more control.
Not saying it’s worth it, but a feature I haven’t seen anyone else mention.
