Nobody’s saying they should. We are saying that most companies would. Because most companies do.
- Comment on How far do you wear your daily shoes out before bothering to replace them? 2 days ago:
I stopped wearing disposable shoes several years ago. So when they start to where out, I bring them to my cobbler to get repaired.

It’s only, what, 5 years away?
Just like 5 years ago.
- Comment on How do you think a socialist President would win the 2028 election? Would they use the exact methods used by Zohran Mamdani which earned him the office of Mayor of NYC? 1 week ago:
… How would that even work
- Comment on How do you think a socialist President would win the 2028 election? Would they use the exact methods used by Zohran Mamdani which earned him the office of Mayor of NYC? 1 week ago:
Step one: there must be a 2028 presidential election.
That is not guaranteed to happen. Not with the regime in power.

- Comment on I've never been in a situation where me having a gun would have made things bettter. 2 weeks ago:
Correct.
If I were in the middle of being mauled by wild dogs, a gun would not be very useful because I would already be getting mauled by the dogs.
Most importantly: I would not put myself into a situation in which wild dogs would maul me. Wild dogs don’t simply show up out of nowhere and start attacking.

Not for some of us.
Even under circumstances you would think might change our minds. Even then, we won’t change our minds.
- Comment on GOG is getting acquired by its original co-founder: What it means for you 3 weeks ago:
This speaks ill of CD Projekt, honestly.
Unloading a profitable game marketplace? A one-time payout instead of consistent returns?
This sounds like a move to please shareholders. Shareholders only care about short-term.
It’s hard to trust CS Projekt as a game company.

Hah, OK, got me there 🤣
- Comment on Anyone heard of barrel plugs with magnet adapters? 3 weeks ago:
Are electric barrel connectors ever used for data transfer? I’ve only seen them used for power, but I’m curious if it’s possible.
- Comment on Rear LCD Projection? 3 weeks ago:
They are neither LCD nor CRT. They are projection screens.
There is no liquid-crystal display, and there is no cathode ray tube.
- Comment on Anyone heard of barrel plugs with magnet adapters? 3 weeks ago:
Any type of connector can be magnetic like that. But like the other guys said, it’s a question of quality - lots of these third party connectors are pretty shit.
Also, it adds resistance to the connection. A quality magnetic connector should have minimal resistance period but a crappy connector? Who knows.
More resistance = more heat + potentially insufficient power transfer.
- Comment on Rear LCD Projection? 3 weeks ago:
The best answer any of us can give you is “try it and see.” Sounds like you have strong preferences of what you want from a screen, so we won’t really be able to tell you if you’ll like it.
Also, since it’s a projection TV, it’s not a liquid-crystal display (LCD). :)

If you die on the hill, you’ll never know whether the next time is different.

Oh, I see what you did there. In order to make sure you believe your answer is correct, you added additional details that weren’t part of the original statement.
Cool.
- Comment on "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results" is impossible, because time changes whenever we try to do the same thing. 4 weeks ago:
Perhaps we cannot actually do the same thing twice in exactly the same way.
But we can perceive that we are doing it a second time in exactly the same way, without perceiving the differences.
So, in practice, it can be replicated within the frame of our flesh-brained awareness.
- Comment on What are some cool infections? 4 weeks ago:
Ringworm is, in fact, a fungus. Not an actual worm.
- Comment on What are some cool infections? 4 weeks ago:
Lots of worms can live in a non-life-threatening wound for long periods of time. Some can’t reproduce in a wound because they require a gastrointestinal tract.
So it could be a single, small worm that prevents the wound from healing, is only painful enough to be inconvenient, and can’t easily be removed without cutting off a large chunk of flesh.
