He knows there’s something there but can’t see it because he can’t look up.
- Comment on Fuck you in particular 4 days ago:
Has his operation gotten any more reliable? I thought about getting some of the powders to put in resin but there were so many stories of people waiting months and then getting ghosted.
- Comment on Britain is ‘a terrible place’ to sell medicines, says Pharma corporate executive 6 days ago:
Pretty much the single biggest customer they have. I was getting podcast ads a few weeks back about some fund or other pharma companies had started to help British patients because the NHS wouldn’t buy their drugs. It sounded pretty desperate.
- Comment on Microsoft doesn't understand the Fediverse 1 week ago:
Yeah, like I can’t disagree, I’ve spent hours at work producing decidedly shit documentation (that it’s just occurred to me I should probably have done in PowerPoint) but equally I don’t think I’ve ever used a WYSIWYG word processor I’d consider good either (or web design program for that matter).
- Comment on Microsoft doesn't understand the Fediverse 1 week ago:
They rock at being the default. As much as I love LibreOffice MS office is probably the best office suite I’ve used too.
- Comment on Vape ban isn't working, says waste firm boss 1 week ago:
From a practical standpoint (whether or not kids think this way) those $3-4 ones are mostly shit, the $6-10 dollar ones are more what you’d want to be using, you’d want at least 2 or 3 in case they run out when you’re out and about and you’ll need a charger too. The refillable tanks on that site (at a glance) use premade coil cartridge things that need replaced (though you’ll probably get a week or more out of them) $12+ for a pack of those and the juice isn’t free either.
- Comment on Mercedes and BMW, eternal rivals on a race once again - this time to the bottom. 1 week ago:
I always think this about BMWs and then they somehow manage to grow on me. It’s like they’re released 2 years too early or something.
- Comment on Nintendo Wins $2 Million Lawsuit Against 'MiG Switch' Distributor 1 week ago:
I’m not pro Nintendo by any stretch, however in this particular case the guy seems to have been intent on speedrunning stupid any %. Ignored a cease and desist and then decided he’d defend himself in court. I sympathise to a point, but if a notoriously litigious games company asks you to stop, probably stop.
- Comment on Bye Intel, hi AMD! I’m done after 2 dead Intels 1 week ago:
Which is fine. Potentially part of the huge known issue with the last couple of generations of Intel chips which affected a huge swath of CPUs, foxes have been released, but damage has been done - that alone would make me dubious about them going forward.
The more immediate issue though is, my CPU failed, I need to find some time to take the PC apart, safely box up the the CPU, figure out the intel rma procedure, ship it off, wait for intel to assess the cpu, hope they accept responsibility, ship me a new CPU and then find the time, once again, to take the PC apart to put the CPU back in. Twice. And I’ve been without PC for the entire time. And they most likely knew about the issues before the second gen of defective chips they launched. And it’s not even the better chip as you mention. I’d be sufficiently pissed off to stay away.
- Comment on 1 UPVOTE = 1 AGREEMENT! 1 week ago:
Just a shit post unfortunately.

Has Lemmy become Facebook?
- Comment on Age check 1 week ago:
For anyone looking for more history around this, the economist have a podcast series called Boom!
- Comment on Say hello to Bary 2 weeks ago:
Kinda feels intuitively correct
- Comment on UK Cops 'Ashamed and Sick' of Enforcing Ban on Anti-Genocide Group Palestine Action 2 weeks ago:
Jimbo has, in fact, suggested he might like the freshen up and Budgie’s just happy to be less Epstein adjacent.
- Comment on UK Cops 'Ashamed and Sick' of Enforcing Ban on Anti-Genocide Group Palestine Action 2 weeks ago:
Damaging an aircraft engine is a far cry from a campaign of kneecapping, bombing and murder.
- Comment on New Valve trademark for 'Steam Frame', looks like we're getting new hardware 2 weeks ago:
My first thought on hearing frame is server. I’m likely way off the mark (to the point I don’t actually think it’s what they’re doing) but it could be the basis for a cloud gaming setup for steam. Would extend the deck life and allow them to optimise settings for proton locally.
- Comment on UK Cops 'Ashamed and Sick' of Enforcing Ban on Anti-Genocide Group Palestine Action 2 weeks ago:
It begs the question, in whom have they inspired terror?
- Comment on UK Cops 'Ashamed and Sick' of Enforcing Ban on Anti-Genocide Group Palestine Action 2 weeks ago:
I think plenty of their supporters knew what they did and frankly they absolutely deserve to be punished for criminal damage. Proscribing them as a terror organisation, however, is waaaay disproportionate and in my personal opinion an abuse of the law. I think their supporters feel the same and are making a stand against this.
- Comment on Never get a tattoo when you are drunk 2 weeks ago:
Cock and balls would be the baseline here I feel.
- Comment on Under-16s to be banned from buying high-caffeine energy drinks including Monster 2 weeks ago:
We rather famously drink tea.
- Comment on Applies to many things. Not just religion 2 weeks ago:
Well, that’s kinda my point, a lot of modern theoretical physics doesn’t present a falsifiable hypothesis - it can’t be tested, there’s no proposal for how it could ever be tested.
In terms of evidence the unrepeatable results - some of it is being repeated and checked, a lot of it isnt. Predictions of how bad the problem is is derived statistically. So much so it’s considered a crisis in modern science.
- Comment on Driver claims cyclist punched him in face and threw bike at car, causing £1,000 worth of damage, after motorist hit him “at about 2mph” 2 weeks ago:
I do too and I actively advocate for the same when I’m a passenger. That doesn’t mean the reaction described above is in any way normal - of another driver did the same I’d also think they had some kind of mental issues.
- Comment on Applies to many things. Not just religion 2 weeks ago:
Never said you did
- Comment on Applies to many things. Not just religion 2 weeks ago:
That’s the ideal the commentor is talking about, this isn’t reality. A significant number of peer reviewed papers are being published without replicable results or any hint of a falsifiable hypothesis.
- Comment on Applies to many things. Not just religion 2 weeks ago:
Whats more to the point, it’s not science.
- Comment on Applies to many things. Not just religion 2 weeks ago:
In a way I find pop sciency types that go after religion even worse. Like science doesn’t argue anything about religion, it’s set up to be unprovable - so don’t argue, if it’s not falsifiable it’s not science you’re just grinding a personal axe.
- Comment on Just a little bit more 2 weeks ago:
I’d argue it’s inferior for estimating by eye and dividing in half.
- Comment on Just a little bit more 2 weeks ago:
I’d be fucking nervous approaching 40.
- Comment on Just a little bit more 2 weeks ago:
That’s one lucky motherfucker, look at what it did to the front wing.
- Comment on Apple Envy 2 weeks ago:
Even on a literary level, asimov had some great ideas and concepts, but the actual writing isn’t particularly gripping stuff.
