- Comment on Google Fiber will be sold to private equity firm and merge with cable company 2 days ago:
Not that Google was doing stellar with their rollout, but I haven’t heard anything bad from anyone who’s actually used the service. This is one of the worst things that could have happened with their service.
- Comment on Retailer denies memory replacement due to 4x increase in DDR5 pricing, says price increase would equate to an 'upgrade' for the customer — Australian retailer refuses to replace faulty Corsair kit 2 days ago:
TBF, the law as stated says a refund is acceptable. It does not say if the refund is at original purchase price or current price. It should be whichever price is higher, else the consumer could be at a loss depending on the circumstances.

I wonder if porn in the woods will become a thing again.

- Comment on Downdetector and Speedtest have been sold for over $1 billion 1 week ago:
Do people just make up numbers for what companies are worth? I don’t see how either of these are worth much of anything.
- Comment on Chris Bowen urges motorists not to panic-buy petrol 1 week ago:
They don’t make supply hoping for extra demand anymore. It goes the other way around.
- Comment on xkcd #3214: Electric Vehicles 1 week ago:
I can’t speak for the latter part, but the former is doable. I say this as someone who did nearly exactly one third the distance in one third the time. Depends on your car of course and if you can fast charge. The real world range on mine ended up being a bit less than 200 miles (260 EPA range) going just over 80MPH in Texas, and it had fast charging capabilities.
That said, I wouldn’t recommend it in the vehicle I used. Really need more like 300+ range to make it decent. Cause I had to fully charge at times to make it to the next fast charger and a full charge is at least twice as long as a quick charge, which is typically going from 20% to 80%. Longer range means mostly only having to charge to 80%. That saves a bunch of time.
Typical degradation at 7 years wouldn’t be bad, but with the type of driving you do I expect the degradation will be worse.

That was way more on point than I expected.
- Comment on Australia will ‘examine all options’ to avoid new 15% tariffs announced by Donald Trump 3 weeks ago:
Why would anyone worry about tariffs from Trump? They are still going to be illegal. He can’t just shout “national security” and expect that to suffice.

Need to make those click bait headlines from something. You gonna deny a hard working AI a job?
- Comment on Father faces no charges for fatally shooting British daughter after fight about Donald Trump 4 weeks ago:
I don’t understand why people don’t get charged in situations like this. Even if it wasn’t on purpose, it was entirely his fault. It’s extremely rare for a gun to go off accidentally.
Charges for extreme recklessness leading to death also seem to be too rare. Not just for guns, but also for cars and other things.

- Comment on Every anime ever… 1 month ago:
I would say Black Clover gets better after season 1. They really toned down the annoying parts of it. That said, I haven’t seen it in English to know if the same things annoy me. It was Asta’s voice.
