  It’s also not worth my time or money to track down old, beat-up Chromebooks and put Linux on them, and yet here we are.

  I’m weird, so the things I find fun are weird.

  I look forward to thrifting one in a few years, then installing Linux on it.

  Sir, if you are inserting actual shit, you’re not going to have much success either turning screws or making holes in things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A drill technically becomes a screwdriver when you insert a drill bit into it⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If we’re speaking philosophically, do we really know that an electric kitchen mixer, when fitted with a bit, would make a terrible drill? It’s probably not something that’s been tested or studied much, if at all.

  For all we know, if would make an excellent one.

  Maybe we should apply for grants, talk to labs. Set up some experiments.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If contemporary professional comedians were magically taken to the Paleolichic, they'd probably work much earlier in the day. Back then, there were no Late Night Shows or well-lit comedy clubs.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  They’d probably die long before they had a chance to try working.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A drill technically becomes a screwdriver when you insert a drill bit into it⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The device is the drill.

  The driver or bit is the thing you insert into the end of the drill.

  It worked for Nintendo with Bowser.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can a reasonable person genuinely believe in ghosts?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not really sure why you chose to reply to me, as opposed to anyone else who replied on this thread. You can believe whatever you want.

  There’s no evidence that ghosts exist. Yes, there are many unexplained things. Yes, existence of ghosts is not impossible. But without evidence, it’s impossible to argue for something.

  I’m not going to tell you that you shouldn’t believe in it. I’m just going to tell you that I won’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can a reasonable person genuinely believe in ghosts?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Arguments against it typically make no sense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why PlayStation Graphics Wobble, Flicker And Twitch⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not sure how to reply to this.

  Mainly because my own math skill is unrelated to processor technology of the late 1990s.

  Hey now, I’m enjoying his nonsense. It’s fun to see what holes people dig themselves into.

  You must be real fun at parties.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why PlayStation Graphics Wobble, Flicker And Twitch⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  3D graphics were incredibly primitive back then. There really weren’t “3D processors” as we know them today.

  On top of that, CRTs masked many of the weirdest graphical artifacts - the shimmering we see on modern screens was much more of a blur on screens at the time.

  It’s fun to look back at the PlayStation and the N64, and to see how each of them handled limitations in a different way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to fix this crack in the shower wall?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you have any access to the inside of the wall, so you can view that section of wall from the back?

  Repair will depend on several factors:

  Was the correct type of wallboard used when building the wall? If not, and if it’s been cracked for a while, a significant amount of water could have gotten through the crack. If significant amounts of water have gotten through, you may need to replace the whole section of wall.

  Is there any water damage to the wallboard? Usually, if the correct type of wallboard was used, there won’t be any water damage. But I’ve seen plenty of installers use the wrong kind of board. If the wrong board was used, you may want to replace the whole section of wall, even if there isn’t visible water damage. Because if the crack gets worse, it’ll be a more expensive repair later.

  Does the shower-facing side of wall show any signs of crumbling? If so, it may be patchable, but you’ll need to remove the crumbling portions first. Also, if it’s actively crumbling, it could be bigger signs of structural issues, and you may want to get it inspected before doing any repair work.

  Is the wall stable? Is the cracked area firm? Is there no sign of water damage? There are a few different types of silicone caulk or tile filler you can use to patch the crack. As long as it’s patched properly, it shouldn’t let water through, and it shouldn’t continue to deteriorate.

  There could be other considerations, but these are some of the common ones.

  If anything seems off, get a professional to look at it. It’ll cost more now, but it’ll save you time and money later.

  That opinion is a weird hill to die on.

  Yes, and if I am not on the road there are fewer people on the road. And therefore risk is reduced.

  Everyone knows the sun was not replaced with a giant LED.

  LEDs with no heat. It was replaced with a giant halogen bulb.
