- Comment on How can I start getting familiar with the plants, trees and animals around where I live? 4 weeks ago:
I like the iNaturalist app: www.inaturalist.org. When I see something I’m interested in whether plant or animal, I upload a picture and it tells me what it thinks it is. And they’re trying to collect good data about flora and fauna so there are volunteers who review submissions and agree or correct it, so it’s not just an algorithm doing the work. Obviously when you upload it it’s a computer making a guess but people usually review the uploads later, and you can get emails with the results of those reviews.
Someone else mentioned Merlin for birds, which is cool because it can do image ID or bird call ID.

- Comment on How do you gently tell someone you only want to keep seeing them if it's on a dating level? 2 months ago:
I disagree with the person you’re replying to - romantic partners and friends have a lot in common but they are not the same thing. And just because you were romantically interested in someone doesn’t mean you owe them friendship. These things are difficult and if you don’t want to keep being a friend for whatever reason that’s fine.

- Comment on Don't make it "like Google" 3 months ago:
I feel like all file-like UIs suck. I hate Windows Explorer, Mac Finder, Nautilus Google Drive, OneDrive (yes I’m talking about both local and native file UIs but I dislike them all). Are there any that you consider good? Because I’d like to try it.

When I got banned I tried to create a new account several times and used up several clever usernames which were immediately banned. So I gave up on having a Reddit account. Several months later I decided to try again, this time with a username that was just a random string of digits and using a brand-new browser. I think I was on a cellular connection instead of my home internet when I created the new account. For whatever reason it worked that time. Maybe the fingerprinting isn’t as effective if you haven’t logged into Reddit for several months?
- Comment on what exercises work for you to avoid back pain? 6 months ago:
It depends on the cause of your back pain so I agree with the people who said maybe see a doctor. Some people have weak back muscles so strengthening exercises help. My back pain was caused by tight hamstrings and overuse of my back, so I fixed it with a lot of hamstring stretches and getting out of my office chair as much as possible. My brother in law has a bulging disc so neither of those things would help him.
Probably the biggest help for me was WFH so I could get out of my office chair - I can lie down, walk around, or sit in different chairs when I’m taking a break, and I take a lot of breaks. I stretch my hamstrings after most workouts so I’m warmed up. I bend over to touch my toes with my feet together for 90 seconds, starting gently, breathing as I relax, and slowly increasing the stretch a little as my muscles loosen up. Then I take a 30 second break, then I move my feet to somewhere width apart and do another 90 second slow hamstring stretch. Another 30-second break, then I put my feet about halfway to a split and do a other 90 seconds touching the ground. Then a break then as wide as I can go and bend over to touch the ground. I think the slow process really helps me relax.
- Comment on Are anyone else's texts getting delayed after the RCS switch? 8 months ago:
Working fine for me so far but a lot of people I know haven’t upgraded their iPhones so our messaging hasn’t switched to RCS. But the few conversations that have switched are working fine.

- Comment on Comcast, Disney, and IBM Are Among Advertisers Returning to X After Ad Freeze 8 months ago:
Did anyone read the article? Besides the top 2, these amounts are paltry:
Data by MediaRadar showed that Comcast, which spent less than $1.5 million on X this year, was followed by Warner Bros. Discovery at $1.1 million, whose ads are supporting theatrical releases of movies, and Disney at under $550,000. Lionsgate spent less than $230,000, while IBM allocated under $2,000.
That’s embarrassing.
- Comment on Is it cheaper to use a plug-in oil radiator to eat an individual room, or run the central heater to heat an individual room and living room? 9 months ago:
Yeah that looks like resistive heating, so there’s no reason to think it’s more efficient than the small heater which definitely uses resistive heating. It’s impossible to know for certain but my gut says the small heater is the right call - since you’re heating a smaller area, there’s less surface area to lose heat from, and heat losses are what drives heating costs.
- Comment on Is it cheaper to use a plug-in oil radiator to eat an individual room, or run the central heater to heat an individual room and living room? 9 months ago:
What kind of unit is the central system - heat pump? Resistive heating?
There are a lot of details we’d need to determine this, so I don’t think we can give you a firm answer. But heat pumps are dramatically more efficient than resistive heating, so if the central system is a heat pump that’s probably the right answer. If the central system uses resistive heating then it’s probably not much more efficient than the small heater.
