What has the EU ever done for us?
- Comment on PVKK Planetenverteidigungskanonenko - Official Announce Trailer | Games Baked in Germany Showcase 5 days ago:
Looks like the average German alternative sarcastic TV sci-fi show. Has strong vibes of Ijon Tichy including that strange but somehow attractive woman.

Idiots. You shouldn’t care to explain anything, they are beyond dumb.
- Comment on Texas power prices briefly soar 1,600% as a spring heat wave is expected to drive record demand for energy 1 month ago:
Pretty sure they don’t have “communism” when they pay those bills.

You did that to recover her later, right? Right?
- Comment on checkmate, big geology!! 1 month ago:
That’d be about as ridiculous as the proposal that is being dismissed into oblivion in this thread but at least economically and technically feasible.
Three or four signs should suffice.

We are working on the start over. Will look like a dead end, somehow.

- Comment on evangelism 1 month ago:
Are those AI evangelists real? Or are they products or their products?
They sound like the latter to say the least.

And mosquitos, supposedly.
- Comment on Cheap, but reliable SSDs? 2 months ago:
That’s in fact the point I was making, in this case about SSDs. Low prices don’t help with reliability as producers use the worse part of a production run for the cheaper brands (friend of mine works for a European based manufacturer of silicon chips, and he can tell stories about the finicky processes around that tiny stuff and how they try to make the most of it).
- Comment on Cheap, but reliable SSDs? 2 months ago:
Your reading comprehension is a bit off - I didn’t write that I only read the title, I wrote that I commented on the title.
The rest of your rant is up to you.
- Comment on Cheap, but reliable SSDs? 2 months ago:
Don’t be scared. Just don’t fall for posts which try to get the impossible. It’s not that difficult.
- Comment on Cheap, but reliable SSDs? 2 months ago:
I commented on the title of your post - nobody with some knowledge in that field (as you claim to have) would phrase that question that way.
Be offended, I can’t change that - but pointing out the obvious may help others to not make the mistake of hoping that there’s cheap good.
There isn’t.
- Comment on Cheap, but reliable SSDs? 2 months ago:
You mean “cheap or reliable”. And even with the better brands it’s always the question not if but when a device will fail.
- Comment on Men over 30, have you ever been in a legit confrontation with a stranger? 2 months ago:
Regularly. Mostly car drivers that endangered me and other cyclists, very often driving their shitty vehicles in cycle lanes instead of the abundant car lanes.
The most aggressive ones wanted to fight me, a lot chased me, one even was handcuffed by police that happened to be nearby (getting handcuffs by police is super rare here in Germany but that guy was so over the top even for a police squad of three officers). Called the police several times and sent several of those carholes to court over endangerment.
I don’t regret confronting such assholes and standing my ground at all. It even improved things in some ways because police started patrolling and controlling more often in my area after reversal of these rows which immensely improved road safety for cyclists. (And my numerous and constant complaints about shitty parking led to even more police activity which freed the blocked sidewalks in that area.)
Confront if you want change. It helps.
- Comment on Europa – Reveal Trailer – Nintendo Switch 2 months ago:
Looks really like a BotW/TotK knockoff, just without fights and beasts (as far as the trailer shows). I mean that nicely.
- Comment on Princess 2 months ago:
Knights are abundant, dragons are rare.
For this reason alone I’d choose the dragon, too. If I ever were to choose, of course.

Looks clumsy as hell. Pretty sure will be very helpful in certain scenarios, robots working in toxic environments etc.
- Comment on ‘I felt like a criminal’: the ruinous effect of the Home Office’s cheating claims 4 months ago:
So the UK is short on workers and drives out immigrants who are studying to become a valuable part of the workforce?
Racists are really the big brains, aren’t they?
- Comment on I'm a US citizen, people in other countries, what do you think when you read stories like these about the US health care system? 4 months ago:
That system is shit and a danger to the people and to the unity a nation needs.
In Germany we don’t even think about this system when we are ill - we simply go to the doctor whatever it is, and we call an ambulance if it’s necessary. Not a single thought.
- Comment on Reddit has reportedly signed over its content to train AI models 4 months ago:
Maybe that’s the point? Training the AI to produce the blabbering bullshit that’s preferred in social media?
- Comment on Nintendo Is Telling Game Publishers Switch 2 Will Be Delayed 4 months ago:
I bought my Switch solely for Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. Both games alone were worth it.
Fortnite, Minecraft, No mans sky and all the other third party stuff does not always run smoothly but still are nice games for recreation.
- Comment on Y'know what... you got me there. Can't argue with that authoritative power, after all. 4 months ago:
I have an idea who invented this tradition.
- Comment on I've noticed that people make the 'surface of the sun' temperature comparison a lot 4 months ago:
Yep. By human standards even the surface of a stove (in operation) is insanely hot.
- Comment on Disney to take $1.5 billion stake in Epic Games, work with Fortnite maker on new content 4 months ago:
Their games are notoriously bad. They simply rely on their fantastic reputation irl and can’t give a fuck about making good games - they sell enough games, even of the worst, just because they’re Lego.
- Comment on Disney to take $1.5 billion stake in Epic Games, work with Fortnite maker on new content 4 months ago:
They do be like that.
Played Lego Fortnite yesterday - a Frankenstein monster combined from two shitty entertainment companies. It’s hilariously unfathomably buggy.
