- Comment on My friend is buying a new PC and he is deciding between air cooler and AIO, which should be get? 4 days ago:
Air, water, AIO, whatever. If it cools well, use it. I just prefer AIOs and there really isn’t any maintenance, was my main point. There are always tradeoffs between AIO, air or a proper water rig, so there is that. (Fans are crazy quiet these days, but when I made the switch, it was mainly for noise. I always run an overclock, so my fans were always hauling ass which probably isn’t needed now.)
Ultimately, I prefer AIOs for the way airflow is managed. It’s not better or worse than air in many instances, but I like working with a radiator rather than a chonky heatsink.
I cannot disagree though: zero maintenance is better than maybe-maintenance. Like I said, it’s about tradeoffs.
- Comment on My friend is buying a new PC and he is deciding between air cooler and AIO, which should be get? 4 days ago:
I have been exclusively using AIOs for years now. Generally, by the time they need maintenance, its already time for a major hardware update and rebuild anyway. That is, of course, if it is serviceable. This depends on the quality of the AIO you buy, TBH. I had a first-gen Corsair AIO start to get audible air bubbles on startup, but it’s long since been recycled.
I am sure other people have some kind of horror story about an AIO leaking or something, but in general, they don’t really need to be maintained if it actually is a sealed system.

You can interpret anything how you choose, kind of like we have to do with your grammar.
- Comment on Reddit to lemmy reposter 1 week ago:
You are missing my point, but I also wasn’t clear enough. In proper context, we are saying the same thing.
I worded that sentence carefully, as to your point, I don’t actually want to tell people to go to Reddit. However, each platform is unique in its own way. If someone wants the Reddit experience, that is the only place they are going to find it. Reddit content is generally curated algorithmically while Lemmy content is not. It’s could be the same articles on the same day, but two different experiences.
OP was referring to reposting content for someone who seemed to be looking for the same volume of content that is on Reddit that is heavily sorted, unless I missed something. I was just saying that this platform doesn’t really support that kind of thing in a constructive way. The articles and the presentation combined make the platform “content”.
- Comment on Reddit to lemmy reposter 1 week ago:
Something similar has been done before and it was really easy to spot. I won’t get into the details, but it was really trashy. There are other communities that try to copy Reddit already and I block most of them.
Communities driven by one persons posts or by a cluster of bots generally suck. Yes, communities must start with only one person, but if nobody else likes the idea and the community doesn’t drive participation from Lemmy as a whole, it’s simply noise.
Post content that you like, in communities that matter to you. If you like a particular strain of content, start a new community. People will join or they won’t. Read the room and continue driving the community, or don’t.
Automated posts have their place, but most people can spot it fairly quick. It generally doesn’t drive participation as much as organic posts.
Bluntly though, if you want Reddit content, go to Reddit. Lemmy isn’t Reddit and that is what people generally like about it.

- Comment on hl shirt 3 weeks ago:
Sick! That would be a fun show. I was able to catch (probably) one of the last Sasha and Digweed shows that are probably ever going to happen and it was a good throwback to younger times.
Seeing artists now that I listened to during the birth of the rave music scene, now that I can afford it, is amazing. Unfortunately, it reminds me of how old I am. The last Sasha and Digweed show was packed full of people my age and it was exactly like an old-school wearhouse party. (The after-party even went to 6-7AM.)
(I didn’t take them) But we even had random people basically just shoving free pills (supposedly molly) at us too. Chances are it wasn’t malicious, bit more of a “spread the love” vibe.

- Comment on North Carolina (NC) is just built different 4 weeks ago:
The south can be really tribal like that. Once someone gets hooked on the southern baptist group-think schtick, independent thought is near impossible. I ain’t saying that is the case for all people, but if Bojangles being a sponsor of NASCAR is important to your life and belief structure, odds are fairly high that someone else is making decisions for you.
- Comment on North Carolina (NC) is just built different 4 weeks ago:
I am from NC, believe it or not. People can identify with whatever they want, but it’s kinda silly when they are identifying with a company that really isn’t southern any more.
It’s kinda like how people are dedicated to their home NFL team when none of the players are from that area. It confuses me, s’all.
- Comment on North Carolina (NC) is just built different 4 weeks ago:
Totally had me fooled with the truck that is driving backwards dumping spice out of its front.
Bojangles was founded in NC but the company has been shuffled through so many investment firms now, it’s basically just a brand with zero soul.

Yeah, cats make everyone and everything adapt to their environment. You have to completely go outside the environment to avoid their influence.
- Comment on By technical standards were 3D TVs impressive, Why didn't they catch on back then? 5 weeks ago:
The media (Blu-ray, dvd, whatever…) didn’t matter so much. Adding depth fields to existing media works, but it isn’t exactly perfect. The tech should be much better now, but it took a fuck ton of manual labor to convert films to be compatible with 3D. Back when 3D TVs were being pushed, studios had to film movies in 3D as well, which took more time and more equipment.
Here is an old pic I took during the conversion of Titanic into 3D since it wasn’t filmed in 3D from the start. Each frame needed to have depth fields mapped, by hand, in a room filled with jr level staff: Image

I personally watch he hell out of PBS shows and have since I was a kid. (Space Time on YouTube is probably at the top of my list now.) My first thought about PBS was, “PBS has a web site?”.

It’s so much more complicated than that, it seems. Wool was a major business, even back then: cambridge.org/…/A173396BD9F8E10E74634263506620BE
While I don’t think that article proves or disproves a woman being financially independent through spinning, it does hint that wool was extremely expensive, big business and it took quite a bit of cash to buy the raw materials.

Punctuation can change context and/or grammar, but I’ll meet you on the middle on that one. I’ll also just keep telling myself that it was an intentional mistake by the editors to trigger real grammar nazis.

MH-60s have 3 engines. 2 for the main rotor and 1 to provide air to star them them and provide initial electrical power. All three run on JP-5, which is jet fuel. (I was stationed in a helicopter squadron for a few years.)
JP-5 is a kerosene based fuel.
- Comment on Is it really worth the BS for a couple more years? 2 months ago:
I’ll never drink again, but there are some days still that I wish my mind could be as numb as it was while I was a raging alcoholic. That thought is usually replaced with remembering how shitty I always felt and how I didn’t give a fuck about anything. Life was a blur.
A mostly clear mind and recovering body is a very good thing. Daily stress is easily managed with regular exercise and chronic anxiety and depression is only a tiny fraction of what it once was. It’s a good life now.
I believe the lifestyle changes not only lengthened my life, but it also stretched out my perceived time as well.
- Comment on Media Liberation Day: how can we help newcomers get started and have a good experience on fedi? 2 months ago:
Observe while participating is what I meant. The intent is to give a person a heads up that cliques still exist on Lemmy and it may take a bit to understand them. In my case, I found the first instance I wouldn’t participate on when I was classified as a fascist baby killer for some reason. (Some instances hadn’t been mostly defederated back then.)
