- Comment on [deleted] 8 months ago:
This ought to happen everywhere. Either I'm the admin on my machine or I'm not. If it's not, I'm not sure how much longer I'll tolerate a Windows machine.
- Comment on Now it looks like Facebook is fighting ad blockers 9 months ago:
They want to get rid of ad blockers? They should base on the same model that keeps me away: namely, that Facebook is repulsive and useless.

Winter, you say. It felt like spring yesterday.

Jeezus, Iowa. What is the matter with you?
- Comment on Burger King Giving Discounts If Facial Recognition Thinks You're Hungover 10 months ago:
They meant tosay fecal recognition. They're struggling to determine the difference between a Whopper and a whopping dookie. No luck so far, and I doubt an app is going to help.
- Comment on People who dont particularly care for or celebrate Christmas, Whats your favorite Christmas song? 10 months ago:
There's nothing objective about that opinion at all. I think Mariah Carey's song is cynical corporate kitsch written for one reason and one reason only: to make money. That's why I hate it.
I can tolerate some of the secular big band/swing songs, and there have been a few decent ones since then. Fiona Apple does a brilliant cover of Frosty the Snowman. Vince Guaraldi's work for the Charlie Brown Christmas show is still wonderful.
- Comment on What 2D printers do 3D printer people prefer? 11 months ago:
They're not great.
My dad signed up somehow years ago. He doesn't even have a printer anymore. He swears he's canceled, but I keep seeing a monthly bill. They aren't even sending him ink. Thanks for reminding me that I need to get the bank to stop charges.

I've had a Brother laser printer for years now. Zero regrets. I'm never going back to the ink jet mafia.

Weird. Doesn't he usually show up on toast?
- Comment on Fusion 360 increasing annual price by $190 USD 11 months ago:
And they make it tricky as hell to find the hobbyist license. I really hate this exploitative shit. Same for Adobe.
- Comment on Lucid dream startup says engineers can write code in their sleep. Work may never be the same 11 months ago:
What do they think we've already been doing this whole time? It's why we prefer to have the lights out in the office.

The graphic novel Paper Girls features a giant living tardigrade, if you want a preview.

That's cool , but it's paleontology, not archeology.
- Comment on Reddit is removing ability to opt out of ad personalization based on your activity on the platform 1 year ago:
A couple weeks ago, I had a ten year old account on Reddit that just wouldn't let me back in. I tried changing the password, but the link and the form it gave me didn't work. I tried several times, no luck.
I contacted support several times. They were worse than useless. If that's how they treat their most loyal content creators now, why on earth would I ever go back?
Oh well. It was fun until it wasn't.
