- Comment on The recent events will probably be the first time that Gen Z and Gen alpha are hearing about 'Pagers'. 5 days ago:
Reminds me of how everyone is now misusing the term “ROM” to mean “Storage” when it actually means “Read-Only Memory”. Drives me nuts every time I see it in advertising.
- Comment on Why do phone manufacturers use in-display fingerprint readers instead of fingerprint readers on the power button? 6 days ago:
This so much! And it’s eragonomic no matter which hand you use. My new phone has it on the power button and it’s just ok. I miss having a rear touch sensor.
- Comment on Why do social workers get upset when you don't want their help? 1 week ago:
So true. If you’re not following the life script people freak the fuck out. Want to live in a vehicle? Don’t want kids? Don’t want to be married? Into BDSM? Your political views land on both sides? People just don’t know what to do with anyone that doesn’t fit in a box.
- Comment on There is no history on the History channel. There's nothing true on TruTV. There's no music on music television. There's no science on the science channel. 3 weeks ago:
I think that’s around the same time I cut the cord. I moved shortly after 9/11 and didn’t see the point in subscribing. I left my (CRT) TV behind too rather than waste space in the truck for it. I haven’t owned a TV since.
- Comment on Would you buy 2nd-hand PV panels? 4 weeks ago:
Solar is only getting cheaper and more efficient. I would buy new.
- Comment on Student loan payment 'on-ramp' ends Sept. 30—missed payments afterward can have serious consequences 4 weeks ago:
If you don’t pay the total balance due or make other arrangements after 90 days, your servicer may report your delinquency to the credit agencies. That delinquency can stay on your credit report for up to seven years, potentially impacting your ability to qualify for mortgages, credit cards and more.
You’re saying students will have bad credit and can’t buy a house? How exactly is that any different than paying nothing to these child predators?
- Comment on Well that was predictable 1 month ago:
Use a different instance?
- Comment on Israeli minister says it may be ‘moral’ to starve 2 million Gazans, but ‘no one in the world would let us’ 1 month ago:
Because unlike Russia, Isreal buys billions of dollars worth of military shit from the US. That is the reason. Greed.
- Comment on How it felt to watch this awesome console fail back in the day 1 month ago:
I remember nobody trusting Sega to not abandon yet another console after a year like all the others so a lot of people stopped buying their brand.

- Comment on Florida blocks heat protections for workers right before summer 5 months ago:
People are going to die. Literally. And sadly it’ll just be another statistic as climate change starts killing more and more people each year. At some point the morons in power are going to express confusion when everyone starts leaving places like Florida.

That is a beautiful banana for scale. I appreciate a you including the banana for scale as well.
- Comment on CATL, the little-known Chinese battery maker that has the US worried 6 months ago:
I’m not going to register to read the article but I’m guessing the US is shitting itself now that (lithium) battery resources are quickly becoming as important if not more important than oil and surprise-pikachu they’re way behind in the new game because they’ve been clinging to the past.

My gf wanted so bad for me to send my DNA to these clowns. I declined due to privacy reasons. She tried to convince me that they keep your info private. I told her that even if that was true, the government could still access it. She thinks I’m paranoid. And now her personal info is likely part of this leak.
