• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Rules Could Force Tesla to Redesign Its Door Handles. That’s Harder Than It Sounds⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I read the article. It sounds like the auto makers concern is that they don’t think they have been given enough time to solve the problem (the problem being one which may kill people while we wait for a solution).

  I think we should give them all the time they want, as long as they stop selling cars without safe door handles RIGHT NOW.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is anyone NOT steaming their Music?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I only buy music on physical media. It’s the only way I can be sure that I really own it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that hand sewing is a stupid cheap hobby to get into and reduces your impact on the environment⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I hate sewing, but it has saved me thousands of dollars over my lifetime and I am convinced that everyone should know how to do it unless they really don’t care about money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to relax and most importantly stop thinking about the things i could be doing?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Consume less caffeine and sugar.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In SpongeBob, Sandy Cheeks is way more closely related to Pearl and the fish than she is to anyone else in the main cast⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Steven Hillenberg would be proud of you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What bottles/containers should I use for shipping from sea level to places at higher altitudes?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If it’s sauce, there probably isn’t much air. Space in the jar is a partial vacuum with some vapor from the sauce. Air in the container will let the sauce spoil.

  You probably just need a heavier container.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Imagine being a billionaire, running one the most powerful, corporations in the United States, and prostrating yourself to Donald Trump in this very public and embarrassing way.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  More likely zinc or brass.

  Cook isn’t handling it like solid gold though (it looks too light). I bet it’s 24 karat gold plated zinc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why, this is a crash, nor are we out of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Someone should make an anticapitalist Dexter. A serial killer who kills evil rich people.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ya, like any major media company would go anywhere near that. Great idea though. It would get dynamite ratings.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does Dairy Queen sell food?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Define “food.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨tattoo printer⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The YouTuber Emily the Engineer made one and tested it on her assistant, with success. But the video wouldn’t make you want to try it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We went from LEARN TO CODE to NO ONE LEARN TO CODE GET A CONSTRUCTION JOB in about a 3 year span.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m fairly sure the “learn to code” thing was just a media campaign by corporations to assure an abundance of programmers, leading to decreased labor rates. Years earlier it was a push for electronic engineers and technicians.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What programs do you wish a good FOSS alternative existed, but doesn't or most of the FOSS alternatives simply aren't good?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Microsoft Access. I have one database that I need that’s written in Access, and although I suppose I could convert it to some other system it would be a chore and I’m not that driven to make the change.

  I’ve moved almost everything else onto Linux.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Today's Survey. One point for everything that you have NEVER DONE⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I got one point for the Walkman thing, but maybe I just forgot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Horses ARE Forever⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Self driving, too, provided you want to go where the horse wants to go.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the weirdest argument you’ve overheard?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not exactly an argument, but I once overheard a restaurant owner bribing a cop. It was an Italian restaurant in San Francisco. Kind of unsettling, but the food was great, and reasonably priced. 4 stars.
