Oh shit, at long last a job opening I’m fucking qualified for!

- Comment on It is very therapeutic to garden, though. 6 days ago:
Unless you live somewhere with 0 soil quality or literally never do any work to fertilize it’s not that much extra cost to fertilize and keep soil doing well
Run a compost heap and you’re practically going to supply yourself with everything needed for free if you can scale it enough (which is like, 2 2x4 beds and remembering to dump organic food remnants too)
- Comment on Microsoft might be trying to sneak Bing into one of Windows 11’s apps – and some users won’t be happy 1 week ago:
Interesting, I tried like 5 tools and Flameshot (my fucking autocorrect also made it flame shit lol) never once came up
Gonna give it a go when I get home
I really do like being back on Linux but it’s this “someone only tells me about the exact software I need once I whine about it 3 weeks later on a different fucking Forum” that gets exhausting, lol

On my phone ATM but I’m pretty sure that’s what I ended up using as well
It’s 95% there but it’s incredibly annoying to have to hit enter or space to confirm my screenshot area every time when I’m used to it just getting that from release of the mouse button
Dug around the settings and even googled it and it doesn’t seem there’s a way to make it do that, so it’s just shy of snip

Funny enough it’s also one of the few places Windows was kicking Linux’s ass on a feature
Finding a passable replacement for the snip tool was probably the biggest issue I had moving to Linux unironically, tookultiple tries of many tools, a lot of config, and it still takes an extra click over Snip
I use it all day at work and then get home and miss it when I wanna clip funny shit in my games, then remember it’s a different keybind with an enter keypress
- Comment on And I’m out 1 week ago:
Like some weird union of states or something
- Comment on Day one and done 1 week ago:
was thinking more power use averaged over time
So much less than you’d think. My GIGANTIC unit (literally a full sized fridge model but on it’s side as a chest freezer) costs something like $25 to run all year. These things are stupidly good at their job because cold air is dense and sinks, unlike a stand-up model that dumps the cold air out every time you open it.
My mini fridge for my soda and bongs costs more to run each year and is literally 1/in the volume

Honestly, I do want a better smartphone. Not better as in more pixels or processing power, but more features.
My P8P has a temperature sensor on it. Every phone I own moving forward is gonna need that now cuz I use it for all kinds of shit basically daily, great tool for a SMART device.
I miss IR blasters, they weren’t as useful but they had their place
I miss the short time period where volume and lock buttons were on the backs of phones.
More weird sensors and functionality that might prove useful in niche situations, please.

My SYNOLOGY NAS that’s just shy of being used for too much stuff (96% CPU means I’ve got 4% left babyyyy) is, was, and will forever be: Senpai.
That way people (my wife and parents) notice it in the network list.
- Comment on Texas Attracted California Techies. Now It’s Losing Thousands of Them. 3 weeks ago:
National parks are owned by the Feds, so using them as “my state is beautiful” is cheating. Guarantee it TX was actually responsible for the maintenance of their parks… Well they probably wouldn’t exist to begin with, but sure as shit wouldn’t be what they are today
- Comment on YouTube Tests Showing Ads When You Pause a Video, Calls it ''Pause Ads'' 3 weeks ago:
Also they leave their Patreon shout-outs in which is not what I’m paying money for
No, but it’s what other people have paid for. Usually at the end of a video past it’s actual content, in what’s considered the “credits”, people who helped pay are tradiditionaly part of that.
If it’s elsewhere in the video that fucks with flow then yeah, that’s bad, but the normal process has been in place for longer than either of us has been alive

- Comment on Those were the days 3 weeks ago:
Oh, was this because of limited processing power / slow secondary storage read speeds?
That and we hadn’t settled on standards nearly to the degree we have now. Much like charging cables it was the wild West for some shit out there. Also, many phones actually did support MIDI, but most normal users didn’t know what to do with it lol
Oof that must’ve been so annoying, no? Ur phone being a waking advertisement to everyone around you?
Back then it was status. “Look at me, I have an IPHOOOOONEEEEE”

On Android:
Download song as .MP3
Go to the sounds settings
Choose ringtone
Choose “browse files” or whatever similar title your version uses (on pixels it’s a + symbol)
Find downloaded MP3 file, select
If you want to edit it down first then use either an app or Audacity on your PC
You can also use a file stored to Google Drive if you wanted to

It’s also insanely inconsistent about showing them depending on zoom level when you look at the same route
I was just making a joke at our piss poor rail systems expense
- Comment on Apple keeps flogging 8GB of RAM for its Mac computers but it's still a dead horse 4 weeks ago:
Macbooks are meant to be for creative professionals and those of us deluding ourselves into thinking we might one day be one of those
8G RAM for that purpose is NOT enough in 2024. Shit, it barely was when I went through college in 2016 with a macbook (which is why our models had 16)
- Comment on The Eurobean Mind Cannot Comprehend 4 weeks ago:
The real thing that breaks the Euro mind about this is that you go all that way and cross 3 rails, all quite close together all things considered

- Comment on brave little bird 4 weeks ago:
3 crows that hang out near my house and join my chickens and ducks when I toss scratch and treats out have made it their mission to keep said birds safe.
Wife and I watched them hassle a hawk until it flew away, gen they came back and chilled on our fence. Tossed them some French fries for the work well done
- Comment on California can share your baby's DNA sample without permission, but new bill could force state to publicly reveal who they're giving it to 4 weeks ago:
Maybe you should look into the details (pro and con) before becoming enraged.
And maybe you should try some basic reading comprehension, ey?

- Comment on How In-N-Out Burger’s president runs her fast-food empire: Keep it simple, affordable and close 4 weeks ago:
McDonald’s burgers better? No. Are Wendy’s? Yes
Maybe it’s the one you tried or something but, no, not by a long shot, at least not on average.
What makes In n Out better is the freshness of everything. Crispy fresh lettuce, crunchy quality pickle, thick cut fresh not slimy tomatoes, etc. It’s basically a fast food version of the small town burger joints you see everywhere in California. Everyone heres got their local burger joint with quality ingredients, In n Out is basically a step down off of that in chain form. I’d almost classify most fast food burgers as one “kind” and In-N-Out/joint places as another with how vastly different they are despite being the same ingredients.
Wendy’s is one of the better fast food burgers but if you prefer it then it’s likely the grease and salt and other addictive stuff in them. Or the bacon. I can get behind the bacon being a plus.
- Comment on But how would they be able to live on that? 4 weeks ago:
Seriously doubt that, honestly, unless you’re VERY rural and/or cannot charge at home
I drive 45 miles each way for commute to work in a 2018 EV that has half the range a modern one does.
I make it home with plenty of charge to still get around town for groceries or what have you, and if I go more than 130-150 miles in a day I can stop at a quick charger for 10/15 minutes and have ~50 miles more range to play with
- Comment on Tesla stops cybertruck deliveries—accelerator pedal may be to blame 4 weeks ago:
Finally saw one of these in person as it drove past me in the oncoming lane.
Was being driven by the most Karen looking Karen youve ever seen, and she did NOT look happy driving it.
I literally burst out laughing from how fucking stupid it looks
- Comment on Why do Americans measure everything in cups? 5 weeks ago:
I legit can’t tell:
You guys DO realize that “cup” is the specific name of a measurement and not, like, telling us to go use whatever mug we have in the kitchen, right?

- Comment on Homeowner baffled after washing machine uses 3.6GB of internet data a day 1 month ago:
I can hear that sucker beeping anywhere
You can make them quieter or even silent these days with the “signal cycle” or similar setting, a legitimate thing I want to do but mine don’t tell me when they’re done so I leave them loud.
what’s the big advanta of knowing exactly when the cycle finishes?
Even when on my Adderall I forget I set it all the time and wind up with smelly wet clothes too often. Also would be nice to get an alert if my wife set it without telling me, then I can easily swap it out if I’m not doing anything and she is.
I want a washer/dryer with these features now goddamnit

- Comment on acceptable screws 1 month ago:
They make bad screw heads but the drivers themselves are useful for so many random odd-jobs that you can basically be guaranteed to find a flathead that’ll fit your screw within a few seconds of searching near basically any tools
Because of that many cheaper companies use flats for their screws, though I almost never see it in anything bigger than the little ass plugs we use in doorknobs and electrical socket covers. Once you go bigger than those it’s usually a Phillips/flat combo, or torx if you’re spending some extra cash

I, too, do all of my electrical work without shutting off the breakers. Safety is for losers
