I’m my experience it’s about a ten to one ratio of people who shit on vegans because they “never shut up about it” vs vegans who actually never shut up about it.
A true testament to how many people they annoy.
- Comment on So how would you handle this? 2 days ago:
Because statistically most pole dancers are ladies.
- Comment on Netflix Becomes Max-Level Patron Of Blender's Development Fund 1 week ago:
What are you trying to model? It’s far from unusable.

FreeCAD isn’t terrible, especially since v1, it’s rough round the edges at times, but definitely usable.

You remind me of Clarke’s third law, even in my own head this sounds a bit waffely but at the point one of them can fool all of us all the time how do we distinguish it from intelligence or something.

Okay, now airbus do freecad.

A Dutch guy mentioned it to me a few years back how far the brand has fallen, reminds me a bit of GE in the US. It’s kinda sad. The really crazy thing is a few of the investments they made and dumped have gone on to be key players in tech, like ASML.

Haven’t Philips enshittified almost entirely outside of healthcare products? Everything else is licensing the brand.
- Comment on The AI explosion isn't just hurting the prices of computers and consoles – it's coming for TVs and audio tech too 3 weeks ago:
I’m beginning to wonder if AI is actually going to set us back technologically. Certainly it seems to be creating or widening a technology divide.

She’s not using it for porn (that I’m aware of) but my wife got a Chromebook with her last phone. Handy enough little thing.
- Comment on "Microslop" trends in backlash to Microsoft's AI obsession 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, I should’ve been more clear in my original post - I was trying to convey why investors would like him and just ignored the profit bit.
- Comment on "Microslop" trends in backlash to Microsoft's AI obsession 4 weeks ago:
I’m not sure what your point is, the investors care about the stock price because that’s their money in/money out. Lower profit could be fine if they’re, say, investing 150Bn/yr into a new venture that stands to be profitable in the future (may even drive the stock price up). It’s vibes based to a degree, quite a bit of analysis goes into a company’s performance as well.
FWIW their gross profit is also up more than 3x in the same time frame.
- Comment on I can still smell them 4 weeks ago:
Haha, bought a couple of rolls of these recently to show the kids. Can’t believe no-one’s mentioned penny bangers yet. Take a roll, fold in half lengthwise and wrap radially around a penny, tape off the end, then throw it hard against a hard surface.

I’m not sure I’ve ever fallen more in love with a process than lost wax casting and it’s foam cousin, from the moment a tutor showed me a polystyrene cylinder head I was hooked lol. I’ll get a setup going some day.

Are you being serious?
Have a look at the MSFT share price in 2014 when he took over ~$45/share and now ~$470/share - of course investors love him, he’s 10x their investments since he was appointed.
- Comment on MegaLag - The Honey Scam is Worse Than I Thought 5 weeks ago:
I was going to make a joke about big bee and then remembered actual honey is a huge fraud as well, a significant portion of what’s sold as honey isn’t actually honey. Need a good docu on that too.
- Comment on Article: I switched to eSIM in 2025, and I am full of regret 5 weeks ago:
I’m fairness the only time I remember being in a phone store in the last decade was because I got an esim when I got my new phone, phone company didn’t send me a qr code to get the esim and I lost access to my account because I couldn’t receive an SMS because my old physical SIM was disabled.
- Comment on I need to vent about plastic milk jugs 5 weeks ago:
I mean your original argument was it was more convenient - everyone having to buy a milk bag holder already seems less convenient than one guy inserting a few shims in a few moulds every couple of months.
- Comment on I need to vent about plastic milk jugs 1 month ago:
Milk specifically, no, other bagged liquids, yes. An absolute pain in the ass compared to a bottle.
- Comment on I need to vent about plastic milk jugs 1 month ago:
Apart from when you want to use them.

How do you take that from the comment above?
- Comment on Dell and Lenovo may limit mid-range laptops to 8GB DDR5 RAM in response to rising memory prices 1 month ago:
They don’t care, my parents laptop was decently mid-range spec bar storage, manufacturer put in a 5400RPM spinning rust drive. It was damn near unusable, crap from the factory.
Was forced to use it once when visiting and noticed the performance, put an SSD in it and it’s been a fine laptop since. They’re perfectly willing to hobble a laptop to save a buck.

Had a friend who wrote his french oral presentation out in 1337, he was allowed notes but not the word for word presentation. He showed the teacher beforehand, she said that’s fine, looks like gibberish.

Glass is absolutely not guaranteed to be flat or without defect. Some glasses are. Mirrors have to be or they don’t work, they come precut in 300x300mm plates for cheap from IKEA. You’re free to check absolutely any thread from the time to see what people’s motivations were. Moving mass on a bedslinger would’ve been a bigger consideration.
