- Comment on Why PlayStation Graphics Wobble, Flicker And Twitch 3 days 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 4 days 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? 6 days 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.

You can do that at the same time as beating yourself with the purple dildo

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.

- Comment on If the color of the Sun was orange, wouldn't the clouds and everything white also be orange? My friend is adamant that 30 years ago the "real" Sun was orange but got replaced with a white LED. 2 weeks ago:
Everyone knows the sun was not replaced with a giant LED.
LEDs with no heat. It was replaced with a giant halogen bulb.

Nobody’s saying they should. We are saying that most companies would. Because most companies do.

I stopped wearing disposable shoes several years ago. So when they start to where out, I bring them to my cobbler to get repaired.

… 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? 4 weeks 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. 5 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 1 month 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.

- Comment on Anyone heard of barrel plugs with magnet adapters? 1 month 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? 1 month 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? 1 month 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? 1 month 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). :)

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.
