I just want a good bun and a line of mustard.
- Comment on No good excuse to still be on Xitter 3 days ago:
It’s usually there so people seek out the only fans / subscription content. Additionally for general exposure (ha!), likes and followers.
- Comment on Greenland | Poll: 85% of Greenlanders do not want to be part of the US 1 week ago:
I’m smack dab in the middle of the US and I don’t want to be part of it, currently.
- Comment on USA | Doctors say they’ve unfairly taken on job of preventing patients’ medical debt 1 week ago:
I’m no greek scholar, but I don’t believe navigating a system of middle-man bean counters was what they had in mind.
- Comment on TikTok Users Gleefully Embrace Even More Chinese App To Spite US TikTok Ban 3 weeks ago:
I would never sign up for this or install the app, but it is a good way to broach the topic of privacy laws.

Only firs
- Comment on Trump Says He Wants No Wind Turbines Built During Administration 4 weeks ago:
He’ll die much sooner than facing any consequences for any of his actions
- Comment on is feeling disrespected reason good enough to change jobs? 4 weeks ago:
Personally I’d find another job first. Once that is secure I’d plan my exit.
If your company does exit interviews I’d be frank and honest about your reasons for leaving. Consider having a quick outline prepared of what you want to tell them. I don’t burn bridges on my way out when possible, but if you can articulate your problems well it might help the next person.

Shit
- Comment on This is in a small convenience store where you can buy food things and heat them up while in the store 5 weeks ago:
A person was probably heating up some pee on the way to cheat a drug test. They have little thermometer strips on the side, like what you see on a fish tank, to help verify the sample wasn’t brought in or tampered with.

No
- Comment on Vegan drink Oatly can’t call itself ‘milk’, judges rule 1 month ago:
Taco bell calls it’s beef-like offering “beefy”, like a “beefy 5 layer burrito”.
I’d have some Oat Milky.

How do I know when the queens are out?
- Comment on DOJ to ask judge to force Google to sell off Chrome, Bloomberg reports 2 months ago:
This seems like a sensible consumer protection to not let the ad company control the biggest web browser. I won’t hold my breath, but I’m glad they are trying something.
AWS should also be split from Amazon.

Helps increase the pleasure.

- Comment on Using AI generated code will make you a bad programmer. 3 months ago:
I’ve been writing code professionally for nearly two decades, and I love having copilot available in my IDE. When there is some boilerplate or a SQL query I just don’t want to write, it’ll oftentimes get me started with something reasonable that is wrong in a couple of subtle ways. I then fix it, laugh at how wrong it was, or use part of the proposed answer in my project.
If you’re a non-corder, sure it is pure danger, but if you know what you’re doing it can give you a little boost. Only time will tell if it makes me rusty on some basics, but it is another tool in the toolbox now.

- Comment on Horrors We've Unleashed 3 months ago:
I find the compromise acceptable. Please roll out the mosquito killing technology asap.
- Comment on Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible 4 months ago:
The other option is for all the mods to quit. AI can probably do a lot of basic tasks, but without mods they wouldn’t have a site pretty quickly.
- Comment on Amazon tech workers leaving for other jobs in response to return to office mandate 4 months ago:
Sorry i misunderstood, thanks for clarifying!
- Comment on Amazon tech workers leaving for other jobs in response to return to office mandate 4 months ago:
These tech workers are not Bezos. They are just developers and technical people that thought they had a good job with competitive salaries. It sucks they have to uproot their lives because management is being shitty.
They may work for a company without ethics, but that’s kind of the corporate landscape these days.
- Comment on Installation 4 months ago:
Either turn off the gas if you can safely do it, or call your gas company so they can shut off the supply to your house.
- Comment on LG TVs start showing ads on screensavers | LG's TV business is heightening focus on selling ads and tracking 4 months ago:
I was always torn over what TV brand to buy. This helps narrow it down further.
- Comment on Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered releases October 31 with the PlayStation Overlay 4 months ago:
This is a great series. If you haven’t played yet this would probably be worth picking up (well ignoring the overlay implications).
I have no plans to revisit the game so soon, so I’ll pass until the whole game and dlc is $5 in a steam summer sale; years from now.
- Comment on Samsung TVs will get 7 years of updates, starting with 2023 models 5 months ago:
My poor Smart TV thinks I don’t have an Internet connection.
- Comment on 5 months ago:
I usually do some goofy math like cost / uses. The first time I used a $300 washing machine I considered that a $300+ load of laundry, next time we’re down to $150, and so on.
For a song I’d probably at least want a few dozen plays out of it for $1, although nowadays everyone just subscribes and streams.

- Comment on Awww, he's so cuuuuttteeee!! 6 months ago:
The novelty of Alexa wore off so quickly. Once the “maybe I shouldn’t hook a microphone provided by a corporation in my home” thought crossed my mind I got rid of all of them.
- Comment on ChatGPT’s much-heralded Mac app was storing conversations as plain text 6 months ago:
So many apps use sqlite or json files for storage without encryption; this doesn’t seem like much of a discovery.
In any case, don’t share PII or any of your deepest, darkest secrets with it.
