Can confirm. I work on industrial equipment. Sometimes you just gotta hit it with a hammer.

One of these companies is gonna do a cost analysis on how much they could be making in additional ad revenue and how much it would cost to equip all their TVs with 5g antennas and pay for the data.

Wait, so you got a projector to avoid the smart features of a tv, but the projector has the smart features anyways, you just don’t use them?
What was the point of getting a projector over a tv?

- Comment on Was thinking of getting into 3d printing, doesn't this listing seem too good to be true? 1 week ago:
Like others have said, it’s definitely not “too good to be true” territory, but there’s so many things that can be wrong or not right with it that you’re much better off getting a new printer. Sure you might save $100 getting a used one but the chances of you spending weeks chasing a problem that you admittedly have no knowledge of diagnosing is just way too high for it to be worth it. For someone with a bunch of knowledge and experience this would be a decent deal, but so is a car with a check engine light or salvage title… could be (probably are) opening yourself up to way more headache than the money’s worth.

Care to elaborate? I’m not really seeing the parallels… I guess there’s a line between Invincible/ Omni-Man and Zuko/ Ozai, but the only similarity there I see is good kid stops bad dad, and their characters and motivations are pretty different.

My guess is some marketing intern over there saw this phrase on a shitty US flea market and was like, “that’s a great slogan!”

God damn, it really just takes a jump off a cliff. I was at least willing to read it to gain an understanding of their perspective, but once I got to the “the difference between men and women is wokeness” section it just completely derailed any chance of me finishing it. We’re actually fucked.

I’m not saying your opinion is wrong or that you have to watch the video or anything like that, but videos like this are made so that you can see the testing procedure and judge it’s validity without just having to assume they did their job right. I wouldn’t trust someone just saying “yup, tried it out, doesn’t really matter 👍🏽”

It took more time and effort to make the meme than it would have to make sure you weren’t gonna look like an idiot
Like you could’ve just typed “Chornobyl” into a search bar instead of the text box and avoided utter embarrassment
- Comment on People who rely on their phones/computers to tell time probably forgot or didn't realize that a Daylight Saving Time-Change even happened, some might've forgotten that DST existed at all. 2 weeks ago:
I had to stay up to push my sleep schedule back to catch an early flight. I didn’t know we were going back until it was about to be 2am (when I planned to go to sleep) and it was suddenly 1am. Normally I’m happy to get an extra hour of sleep but this time it meant having to wait an extra hour to sleep.

My roommate mentioned there was a price increase recently. It is pretty pricey.
- Comment on PC Master Race 3 weeks ago:
I’m still a PC player through and through, but I will say that the game subscriptions that give you access to AAA games (albeit sometimes a bit after launch) is pretty enticing. Obviously you get better sales and whatnot through Steam, but not having to shell out 50-70 dollars for a new game is pretty cool.
- Comment on Guide recommendation for absolute newbies? 3 weeks ago:
It is from the brand Elegoo. The printer is pretty dated at this point, so it’s not the one I’d recommend. There’s probably more robust systems out there.
- Comment on Guide recommendation for absolute newbies? 3 weeks ago:
I’ll offer a counterpoint. If this is your first printer, don’t build it from a kit. Most printers will require some assembly, and that’s totally fine, but if you have no experience with 3d printers (and likely anything similar in size or technical requirements), it’s going to be way too easy to make some small mistake that results in days of diagnosing where you went wrong.
My advice would be to find a decent mid-range printer, and if you really wanna dive deep in to the hobby, build or buy a big fancy second one later. I’m still rocking my $150 Neptune 3 from like 3 years ago, I’ve thought about upgrading but haven’t really needed to.

Are those cars inside the building? I thought it was a reflection but I don’t see any cars outside where they’d cause that reflection.

I’m also horseless, but their analog clock is a wind-up, no batteries required. So if you’re snowed in and can’t get to the store, it’s one less thing that will take up batteries.

Honestly if you can’t calculate things on an abacus you shouldn’t be in the exam room tbh. Sure, calculators have been invented and have ultimately replaced the abacus in nearly every facet of day to day life, but surely you know how to add beads together?
We’re letting kids use GPS to get to school now? What the street signs and constellations aren’t good enough for you?
