- Comment on Body of last missing worker killed in Baltimore bridge collapse recovered 6 days ago:
Often a good portion of the crew of container ships cannot legally enter the USA, so stay on their ships in port.
- Comment on Jack Dorsey departs Bluesky board | TechCrunch 1 week ago:
What do you mean? The board provides the guidance and plots the course for the “low potential” people to follow.
/sarcasm
- Comment on Geography is neat 2 weeks ago:
Humans are weird. (And delightful!)
- Comment on The more air conditions in an area the hotter becomes around it. In turn increasing the demand for AC. Talk about infinite money glitch. 2 weeks ago:
Then heat pumps in winter will lower winter temperatures.
- Comment on amphibians 3 weeks ago:
To be fair, the small “pH” ones likely existed 280 million years ago. The the same species, but the general sort.
- Comment on Alleged cryptojacking scheme consumed $3.5M of stolen computing to make just $1M 3 weeks ago:
That is right. The thief got $1 million they wouldn’t have had otherwise.
- Comment on Could We Build a Decentralised Social Platform Rooted in Place? 4 weeks ago:
There was a nonfederated one. Elk talk, or Oxes. Anyway, most useful on college campuses. Pointing this out for reseach.
Sounds great!
- Comment on People think onlyfans is weird 4 weeks ago:
Artists page puts it as added at 5 years ago. Well outside of current AI funny business. useum.org/artist/Henryk-Fantazos/activity
- Comment on The reason why we never meet time travelers is because our civilization ends before the technology can come to fruition. 4 weeks ago:
Future historians could have infinite time. We could get grad students a thousand years after time travel is invented. Of course, they could be sneaky.
- Comment on UnitedHealth Exploits an ‘Emergency’ It Created 4 weeks ago:
Off topic a bit, but I often hear people wanting to use AWS so they have someone with big pockets to sue. I always wonder why they think AWS won’t use their money on lawyers, private eyes, and never pay at all.

- Comment on AI will reduce workforce, say 41% of execs in a survey 5 weeks ago:
Yup. The owners can save a lot of money on those paychecks.
- Comment on Why bag the hydrant? 5 weeks ago:
Apparently, the same gets in and corrosion starts. The second article mentions a city that stopped doing it.
- Comment on Why bag the hydrant? 5 weeks ago:
They go around way before the snow and do that in some places. The tall pole next to it is too highlight the location as well.
Think about a big snow with plows pushing snow into giant piles.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
Someone should sell the recipe of success by teaching others how to sell the recipe of success.
They do… And it is terrible.
- Comment on It's not enough to touch grass 1 month ago:
“wasteland” is a bit strong. Non-native grass is not ideal, but we could do far worse. Good on you for improving your land. Let’s not force everyone to be perfect, as many will just give up.
I think the focus on perfection leads to poor mental models and outcomes.
- Comment on The joy of finding an interesting gap in the literature 1 month ago:
Cite it with updates. Or ignore it and hope the reviewers ignore it as well.
- Comment on Security footage of Boeing repair before door-plug blowout was overwritten 1 month ago:
There is even a line of hard drives specifically made cheap and dense for security footage.
- Comment on Tesla starts shipping $3,000 Cybertruck tent, looks nothing like what was unveiled | Electrek 2 months ago:
Stop preordering things.
Don’t preorder games or unreleased cars.
- Comment on Good job man 👍 2 months ago:
You are correct, but slate is already pricey. You comment implies that company was gouging, though maybe not your intent. Sometimes a person wants something and will pay the price to get it.
- Comment on Have you started planing this years garden plants yet? You might need these 2 months ago:
I am a terrible gardener as I only recognize zucchini.
- Comment on Altered Carbon 2 months ago:
Way easier to lie about it. Just pick babies out to be indentured servants for life to repay some imagined debts. Maybe make them feel it was their fault for not paying off the debt previously. We could even target kids from poor families for this, so they have less hope of fighting back.
We did this already, a bunch of times.
- Comment on Waymo issued a recall after two robotaxis crashed into the same pickup truck 2 months ago:
They often are. Many recalls for other manufacturers are similar. They don’t actually buy back the cars and crush them.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Not OP, but the controller for the time machine could be a ghost with you. Just like the spirits with Scrooge.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Really? Am I then going the speed of light in time?
- Comment on Chronology 2 months ago:
Shit. I am a bit shocked how many critters have names similar for a random riff. 😂
- Comment on Chronology 2 months ago:
I apologize, but is that spelled correctly? I am finding several variations of the spelling with wildly different creatures.
- Comment on Chronology 2 months ago:
I don’t know that most people can tell the difference between an Allosaurus and a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
- Comment on Everyone makes incest jokes about Adam and Eve and their children but they never mention that there was another woman named Lilith (Adam's first wife) who would have added variance to the gene pool. 2 months ago:
Eve had two sons. Cain found a wife “somewhere”. Cain was also market so no one would kill him, but the three other people known to exist were his parents and dead brother.
- Comment on OpenAI wants to raise 5-7 trillion dollars. Yes, Trillion 2 months ago:
I agree that getting that amount of money, practically speaking, will be difficult.
If they can get so much money, and can spend it/set it in motion in the economy/not just horde it, then it would be great.
However, I don’t think it is a good idea for one company to have so much money at one point in time.
