- Comment on YSK: Gas stoves cause cancer 1 day ago:
Yeah I’m not sure what the purpose of the comment was. To convince people to continue using gas on the off chance it won’t increase cancer risk? That’s not a compelling reason to use gas. It might not kill me.

I rescued baby raccoons from a dumpster once.
- Comment on John Oliver promoted alternatives to big tech in last night's episode, including Mastodon and Pixelfed 5 days ago:
Can anyone explain Bluesky vs Mastodon as Twitter alternatives, asking as someone who never really used Twitter much anyway?
- Comment on How is my bedroom being heated? 1 week ago:
Ah yes, for comparison my parents was built year 2000. 22 year difference in quality!
- Comment on How is my bedroom being heated? 1 week ago:
There might have been advances to that tech, maybe it’s better thermally regulated now. My parents house had it in the kitchen and I think it was relatively new concept when house was built, I found the heat to be a bit uneven, a bit uncomfortable in some spots.

So like… How possible would it be that you thaw something like that out and you release some kinda doom virus?

I mean… It’s a feeling. Dysphoria is a complex thing, it’s not as clear cut as, let’s skip right to surgery.

Therapy and/or hormone treatment certainly might make enough difference to not require surgery anymore.
Let’s not pretend that the act of transitioning is something that should be taken lightly. There are trans people who have been wholly unprepared for actually living life as the opposite gender and kill themselves. For example, I’m seeing cases of Female to Male trans saying they were completely unprepared for how lonely it is to live as a man compared to a woman. So for some of them that negative feeling of loneliness ended up being even more detrimental and unpleasant to them than the original dysphoria.

AF1 probably needs a database just for it’s in in-flight menu.

He didn’t say the SSN database isn’t SQL. He said the GOVERNMENT doesn’t use SQL.
- Comment on How does this pic show that Elon Musk doesnt know SQL? 2 weeks ago:
Oh, well another user pointed out that SSN’s are not unique, I think they are recycled after death or something. In any case, I do know that when the SSN system was first created it was created by people who said this is NOT MEANT to be treated as unique identifiers for our populace, and if it were it would be more comprehensive than an unsecure string of numbers that anyone can get their hands on. But lo and behold, we never created a proper solution and we ended up using SSN’s for identity purposes. Poop.
- Comment on How does this pic show that Elon Musk doesnt know SQL? 2 weeks ago:
Because of course the government uses SQL. It’s as stupid as saying the government doesn’t use electricity or something equally stupid. The government is myriad agencies running myriad programs on myriad hardware with myriad people. My damned computers at home are using at least 2-3 SQL databases for some of the programs I run.
SQL is damn near everywhere where data sets are found.
- Comment on ‘If 1.5m Germans have them there must be something in it’: how balcony solar is taking off 2 weeks ago:
Most people don’t care about being CO2 neutral. The real question is what is the ROI? Will the panel save that person money. If it takes 50 years to pay for itself, I’d say that’s bad. 10 years is more standard. 5 years I say it’s a no brainer. Though I suppose you can also argue value for utility, if that is giving her the ability to power something off grid that would be worth something.

Jesus. Enough hyperbolic nonsense. Browsing Wikipedia is way healthier than doom scrolling.
- Comment on Tesla pulls out all the stops as Cybertruck sales grind to a halt 3 weeks ago:
Even by money standards he does stupid stupid things. How much money did he piss away on running Twitter into the ground and telling advertisers to go to hell. If he got the help he obviously needs he could have had it all. And his latest stupidity with the Nazi salute seems to be going down really well in Europe. Tesla sales evaporating in Europe. Just read that Cyber truck has completely flopped (shocking!)
- Comment on Tesla pulls out all the stops as Cybertruck sales grind to a halt 3 weeks ago:
Hi Elon. No, we hate you because you know you have Asperger’s, think yourself smart, but are blind to the fact that you need people in your life to filter your thoughts and actions to cover your weak areas and flawed perceptions.
Only a fool thinks himself beyond improvement. Elon Musk is a great example of squandered potential and self delusion.
- Comment on USA | Doctors say they’ve unfairly taken on job of preventing patients’ medical debt 4 weeks ago:
Doctors can’t unionize. And even if they could, they’re not numerous enough to swing elections, even if you could get them all to agree, which I doubt.
- Comment on Should I get a drum kit, or a pressure washer? 1 month ago:
Pressure wash a few neighborhood walkways or houses, use income to buy drums.

What is a tanky? Only heard that after switching to Lemmy. What’s the origin?

Ohhh, yeah I suppose if it’s brand spanking new it might be designed for a certain minimum version. Not common but possible.

Just get the drivers from manufacturers website. What laptop is it?

I for one am a lifelong Nintendo customer that has finally decided to boycott them moving forward. Plenty of other companies to support.

Kinda feel like Captain Janeway made the most wrong calls. This one, not necessarily. Tuvix, on the other hand…
- Comment on Nintendo filed a lawsuit against Pocketpair, Inc. 5 months ago:
Congrats Nintendo, I’m done with you. SNES, Gameboy, N64, GameCube, Wii, Switch, and now done for good. Cantankerous old dinosaur of a company that has lost touch with the world.

Sounds like a viable market gap for a new manufacturer!
- Comment on Discord lowers free upload limit to 10MB: “Storage management is expensive” 5 months ago:
Yeah, makes no sense that they store some pdf I was dragging over to someone one time. Super inefficient. They should allocate an amount of storage per user that then rolls and deletes the oldest files when the cap gets exceeded to make room for the new files.
