Rarely, TBH. Unless you’re OK with being an absolute ass in some form or another.
- Comment on Why is this so hard 10 months ago:
Breath on your fingers like you’re trying to fog up glass. Immediately open by running your fingers in opposite directions along the edge, using the additional friction you created.
- Comment on Lucid dream startup says engineers can write code in their sleep. Work may never be the same 11 months ago:
Ever tried to read something in your dreams? Coding is basically 90% reading and 10% writing. Then you have to insure that shit compiles and runs.
I can’t speak for you, but I don’t think my brain has a valid edition of the Java Development Kit.
- Comment on Lucid dream startup says engineers can write code in their sleep. Work may never be the same 11 months ago:
Just think: People having to get help because the job they quit three years ago keeps showing up in their dreams. What’s worse is that they keep doing it, in control but unaware of the fact that they aren’t getting paid, threatened by their former boss with being fired if the quota wasn’t met.
Staying awake yet unemployed becomes one of their only escapes. They turn to stimulants to stay away from ‘work’ just a bit longer, just a little more peace.
But they then ‘crash’, falling asleep for almost a day, and starting a shift that feels like an eternity, Inception style.
- Comment on Assuming a button that, every time you push it, your intelligence goes up. The obvious and sane thing to do is to push the button all day. Yes? No? Maybe? Is there something that I'm missing here? 11 months ago:
Which goes swell, until you realize that you are instead dealing with an ever complex and gnawing realization you can barely quantify as existential dread in light of the remarkably complex yet dangerous capabilities found in every human present and yet to be conceived on this suddenly constricting mortal plane, exceeded only by the sheer number of permutations which you generously call ‘best case scenarios’ that result in an irrevocable destructive spiral on the fragile biome only loosely labeled by you as “third rock from the sun”.
- Comment on amazon anti union posters put up by the company 1 year ago:
“Hey Manager Amy Zone, can I have a bit of time off for my leg to heal? It was just partially crushed by a stack of Prime Day boxes.”
“Employee 3869310, in the time it took you to get across the warehouse to ask me that dumbass question, you just used up the last of your bathroom breaks for the day. As an act of mercy, here’s my empty Amazon Basics Hyrdration Drink bottle. Just try not to piss all over the floor when you use it. Now get your ass back to work!”
- Comment on Open source community figures out problems with performance in Starfield 1 year ago:
Not safe enough. Give it another decade; I’m sure they’ll get around to ruining it by then.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
I’d like to think that half the crew died along the way, and it got to the point where promotions were being handed out just to keep the ranks filled.
“Shit, we lost another commander. Lets promote one of the remaining lietenants and…hey, Harry, how do you feel about getting another pip?”
- Comment on Resin Printing is killing you. 1 year ago:
Did you actually watch the video?
He literally presents a list of reasons around 5:12. Then he goes on to describe how formaldehyde already affects him.
Resin priting can be a lot of fun, but he’s correct: that shit is toxic. It needs to be respected, and he’s also correct in pointing out the carbon filter on many printers is basically a placebo for the consumer.
Still don’t believe him? Fine. Go checkout the small book that is the set kf warnings with this stuff from a resin producer: entropyresins.com/safety/epoxy-safety-tips/
- Comment on What else do you think they do during those long haul warps? 1 year ago:
Yeah, that was a good one. Wharf got that plant petal on him after the away mission, and boom: Whordi.
- Comment on What else do you think they do during those long haul warps? 1 year ago:
“Number one, you can’t build that now. Those tanks just took out your north power supply.”
“Captain, I assure you I can build the radar. I only need five units to-”
“THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS!”
