Oh and then you could add these things called “rings” to the bottom of your website to jump to other websites with similar topics.

You know the answer, so why even ask? Just makes you look foolish. Brush off the resume and start looking. They won’t learn.
- Comment on Does different parts of the world use different standards for water pressure similar to voltages? 1 day ago:
That’s an interesting analogy. But just like too much current can melt a wire, I would assume there’s some upper limits to keep it from bursting pipes and fittings?

There’s lots of pedantry going on in this thread rather than attempting to understand the spirit of the question.

Doesn’t really matter the unit of measurement. Kinda like hp/ps or lb-ft/nm, there are equivalents. I’m more interested in the values, but you do have a valid point there.

I still have my TI-99 4/A and voice synthesizer and the parts. Been a few years since I hooked it up though.
- Comment on Is there ever going to be a way to post images from this instance? 3 days ago:
Lemme is not a file (image) storage engine. What makes it so lightweight and fast on smaller hardware is its generally only dealing with text. Introducing large file support will just add bloat to the service with having to store the images. Not to mention this increases things like bandwidth billing from everyone viewing the image. That’s why you should use external image hosting services that are designed to do that.

I don’t read manga so don’t have to worry about that.

Thank you for qualifying that. I hate when people immediately go “.255 isn’t a valid address!” It, and .0 very much are if you’re using a /23 or larger.

Potential double (triple) nat issue? Do any other streaming services work?

We will update the Backstage Pass Cars list with all the remaining cars that have previously been Festival Playlist Exclusive
That’s nice that you’ll at least be able to finally get exclusive cars you may have missed.
- Comment on Cloudflare is bad. Youre right. 5 days ago:
The bigger trouble is creating a CDN has a stupidly high barrier to entry. You literally need your own data centers across the world, your own server infrastructure, the man power to manage it, etc.
You could try to host it on a cloud provider but you’d go bankrupt even quicker. Unless someone were to try to build a co-op run CDN, it’s just not gonna happen without a profit motive and a large amount of capital.
- Comment on Cloudflare is bad. Youre right. 5 days ago:
Just note, OP, that the last part of his statement is pure speculation. The first part is technically true, which can lead to that inference, but no information has been released which corroborates it. However, that does not mean it’s not possible.

vote manipulation
What is this? Reddit? Votes really don’t matter here.
- Comment on "Ranma ½" Remake Announced With PV 5 days ago:
This is where it all started for me. So it’ll be a high bar. Though I will say the Urusei Yatsura remake has been pretty good.
- Comment on [deleted] 6 days ago:
Another thing to your point is most clients now support blocking communities or entire instances, so by doing this you’re leaving the power and the choice to the users to block as they want at a client level.
- Comment on Study: Congress literally doesn’t care what you think. The preferences of the average American appear to have only a miniscule, near-zero, statistically non-significant impact upon public policy. 6 days ago:
And a lot of this comes from not fucking voting. I seriously wonder how things would be if voting was mandatory and everyone was given appropriate time off to do it.
- Comment on Train cancellations up 9% in a year despite soaring fares and bonuses 1 week ago:
I read it and was like “140 isn’t too bad”. Then I noticed it said per day, wtf?!

Because of course it has…
Offer: high speed rail to connect the north and reduce people’s transit time
Best we can do: price hikes and fewer seats

Don’t forget Magic Johnson either.
- Comment on Marvel Vs Capcom Collection 1 week ago:
Finally! The return of MvC2. I bought MvC3 when it came out and I was so disappointed. Not because of the smaller roster but because they reduced pretty much every player to the exact same move set. So it didn’t matter who you chose, it was always the same.
- Comment on Valve owe you 44 quid, according to a £656m lawsuit against the company for allegedly overcharging UK customers 2 weeks ago:
Valve has provided me that value in entertainment. What will you do for me for €45?
Shake it baby
- Comment on Valve owe you 44 quid, according to a £656m lawsuit against the company for allegedly overcharging UK customers 2 weeks ago:
Valve can keep it. I’ve gotten more than that with overall entertainment out of the platform

- Comment on Masahiro Sakurai refused to add Dolby Surround to a Kirby game because players had to sit through the logo 5 weeks ago:
Yes there are other formats such as DTS and Auro 3D. You can even do it with straight up LPCM if you want, but DD is one of the quickest ways to do it and iirc DTS has similar licensing requirements with their logo, and barely anyone has Auro. You could try to use LPCM but you’d need a multichannel output such as 6x analog connections or a digital source using bitstreamed output which many didn’t have at the time.
- Comment on What should I know about buying / replacing a garage door opener? 5 weeks ago:
+1 on the “don’t touch the springs”. Those things are deadly like capacitors in tube TVs. I’ve seen one pop and go through a windshield and the seat of a car. Luckily no one was in it as I doubt a person would have offered much resistance to it.
- Comment on Texas power prices briefly soar 1,600% as a spring heat wave is expected to drive record demand for energy 1 month ago:
Jerry Jones, yeah same one that owns the Cowboys, made almost $1B off the price hikes durning the big freeze that almost crippled the grid.
