People get off on being correct

People get off on being angry
Put those together and you get people angrily and loudly bitching about things. Add in that it’s on the internet, where the stakes are little-none and it’s just how people are wired to act.
Do you remember the heyday of things like Angry Videogame Nerd? Himself and a million actalikes being angry at nothing and people loved it.

You can easily find out. 2 machines (even virtual machines) one set it’s DNS to the PiHole, one not.
Both hit the same sites in the same order. Compare network traffic.

Romming my Android phones was a lot of fun. Would recommend. Except the few times the screen went black for slightly too long and I puckered so hard I embossed the chair I was sitting on.

Sure, eventually. In the meantime videos and games look incredible.
As long as the screen lasts 5+ years, I won’t be too upset.

- Comment on How to stop getting mad about sports for just moving around the ball/puck? 3 months ago:
If you look at soccer, you’ll see a bunch of people passing a ball back and forth and making no progress.
If you look a little closer, you’ll see players trying to bait the opposing team into making a mistake. You’ll see players trying to position themselves to receive or intercept a pass. Others are applying pressure to force the player with possession to make a mistake.
Sometimes that takes a little bit of time, especially if you are winning, your opponents are going to feel that time pressure and you can use that against them. Force them to make a bad move.
Both sides are constantly doing this, they have formations and strategies designed to break the opposing team’s structure.
Team games are all like this, you are trying to control the field and shape it to your advantage.
If you think of it as a war game, with formations and feints and strategies, you might be more amenable to the slower plays.

Also, a sharp chisel and patience is all you really need for bow ties. Try some practice runs on some scrap and see how you fare.
- Comment on Butchers Block countertop 4 months ago:
With a poly coating on there it’s more difficult to say.
Personally I keep an eye on the colour of the wood. When it starts to look dry and pale, it’s time.
The wood will let you know, it will stop soaking the oil and wax and you then wipe off the excess and start buffing.
It may let oil seep out for a few days after, as it adjusts. Just wipe that away. Food grade mineral oil (which I use for all my boards) is non toxic, but it is a laxative, so do wipe up and excess before using the board 😁
- Comment on Butchers Block countertop 4 months ago:
Bowing and warping is a natural response to moisture changes. It may be unavoidable.
Getting the moisture content back to where it was may reduce the severity of it. Keeping it there means regular drying, oiling and waxing the board.
You can use things like bow ties to help hold the seam together. Blacktail Studio on YouTube has a good (imo) video on installing a bow tie.
For filling it, you can use a food-contact rated glue, like Titebond 3 and clamp the crack back together.
If the crack is too large to close, you can fill it with sanding dust mixed with a food safe wood glue.
Or! Go all in, remove some material to give you clean flat surfaces to glue in some new material. You can hide it or highlight it, depending on the wood you use.

Some companies have a reputation for shipping shit and never fixing it.
Others ship shit and then polish that turd until it shines.
I do firmly believe this is one of the former.

So you know your bucket of Lego? It’s a bunch of blocks that can move around each other. (Swish some around to demonstrate)
Water is made up of little tiny block that can swish around too. When you make them cold, they start to stick together. (Start connecting Lego blocks)
The colder it is, the more they connect, until all the water blocks have joined up together and made a bigger block of ice.
Then, when you heat the ice up, they start to come apart and move freely again.
So, heat is movement and cold is connected. This is the same for almost everything!
Lava from volcanos is just rocks that have been heated up enough to move. When the lava flows out and cools down, it hardens back into rocks.
