- Comment on They're called leaves for a reason. 2 days ago:
As a Brit we were always taught to gently disturb leaf piles before jumping in them or throwing them into the fire, just in case hedgehogs were in there. The habit has stuck, although I now just rake our leaves up onto the mulched beds and leave them. The chickens will then pull them apart and consume any living thing unfortunate enough to live there.
- Comment on Is a Quest 3 really worth it? 3 days ago:
Very accurate. We have the Quest 1 and 2, both just collecting dust now, I’m not even sure if they would work anymore. We set up a VR gaming night with a few friends who also had headsets, played Beat Saber and Synth Riders a bunch, then got bored and decided to explore a new game where you walk about and chop wood and whatnot. Five minutes of that and I was so dizzy I almost threw up. It made me realize that the type of game you can play on these is very very limited. I did get a lot of mileage from Synth Riders, so I’m not saying it’s all worthless tech, but we probably could have got a better ROI just buying a regular console with the money.

- Comment on Alcohol from peppers? 2 months ago:
Hello! Yes, we’ve tried it! It was a Jack Keller recipe that called for 14 jalapenos and some raisins with a bunch of sugar. Fermented fully, but it was too sweet still, I actually found the pepper taste to be nice, but sadly the sugar made it undrinkable. Would make it again with an amended recipe.
- Comment on The air begins to leak out of the overinflated AI bubble 2 months ago:
I work for an AI company that’s dying out. We’re trying to charge companies $30k a year and upwards for basically chatgpt plus a few shoddily built integrations. You can build the same things we’re doing with Zapier, at around $35 a month. The management are baffled as to why we’re not closing any of our deals, and it’s SO obvious to me - we’re too fucking expensive and there’s nothing unique with our service.

Foraging and stealing :)
- Comment on Kroger executive admits company gouged prices above inflation 2 months ago:
I’ve always had a rule that all my decisions should be the ones that make my mother the most proud. Sometimes it’s a choice between two things she’d probably dislike (like getting a tattoo or a piercing), but I always do the thing that has the better chance of making her proud.
Recently I’ve started stealing from large evil corps. Not even gonna sugar coat it. I go to self checkout and just don’t scan things here or there. Whoops I left that thing in my cart. Whoops I left half of the bag of lemons off the scale and they rang up for 10c. Whoops, that eyeliner pencil fell into the unnecessary plastic wrap of that other thing and I didn’t scan it.
I recently mentioned this to my mum and she laughed. She was proud. Because fuck Kroger, fuck these companies gouging us, stealing our land and food and ability to sustain ourselves without giving them a cut. Fuck people who hoard money so hard that people fucking die because of it. Boycotting shitty companies is what makes mums proud.
- Comment on What are you brewing? 2 months ago:
Recently got into hoochin, just put some pawpaw wash in the primary to make wine. We also have apple juice bubbling away, was gonna jack it but I think I’m gonna buy an air still and throw it in that to see what happens.
- Comment on Would you like a receipt? 2 months ago:
But then how much time have you saved not having to receipt the receipts.

- Comment on And they don't fold well either 4 months ago:
Years ago my husband bought a random pillow from Amazon. I liked it so much I also bought one, but I guess it was a different manufacturer and I hated it. He’s not fussy so we swapped, and I swear to god this is the best pillow I’ve ever used. It was like $23 and the link is broken now.
- Comment on Why are there "driveway connections by permit only" signs on roads? 4 months ago:
That’s a wild take, thanks for writing it up. I’m in Tennessee, and it feels like our state isn’t as shrewd as that, but I could be wrong.
- Comment on Why are there "driveway connections by permit only" signs on roads? 4 months ago:
Innnnteresting. That’s an angle I hadn’t thought about before.
- Comment on Why are there "driveway connections by permit only" signs on roads? 4 months ago:
Yep, it’s the road sign part that gets me confused. I live in Tennessee. I suppose that makes some sense but I still don’t know if I understand why it needs a sign vs just having an ordinance and fining people who don’t follow it. In my brain, road signs are for things you might need to know in the spur of the moment. It’s not like people are going “Whoops I just built an unapproved driveway!”

Keto taught me amazing lessons about fat. I just had to unlearn shoving cheese and bacon in my mouth all the time when I quit it.

Christ, we cancelled it a month ago and I feel so fucking stupid. Stupid that we had it for so long for… what? I don’t need anything so quickly that a couple of days delivery makes a difference. Food, water, heat, somewhere to sleep are things I need on a strict schedule. Knock off earbuds and some silicone molds for frozen shot glasses can absolutely wait. AND IT’S STILL FREE SHIPPING, you just add to cart and buy once you hit $35.

- Comment on Watch a 13-year-old become the first person to ever beat Classic Tetris 10 months ago:
Nope. There’s a whole thing where a human can’t move the joystick quick enough on full speed to clear the blocks so they invented a new method of tapping the joystick. This only got discovered in the last decade, and meant world record holders went from games at level 29 to games in the hundreds. This kid played until the game’s memory couldn’t cope anymore. That’s now the competition, pushing it until it crashes and hoping it happens on a higher level than the last person. The only achievement beyond this is mid-200s level when the game would roll over to 0. But that’s basically impossible because it’d crash far before that.

Yes! A very fun game to play as a couple! I liked how it was more graphically interesting than a lot of other puzzle games, and dialog is fantastic.
