Thanks to the internet you can’t easily stop that. BBC will keep covering it.
- Comment on xkcd #3081: PhD Timeline 1 day ago:
Holy shit this is crazy.
And major news outlets aren’t covering this due to the billionaire class owning mass media.
- Comment on OpenPin is an open-source project to revive Humane's dead Ai Pin - Liliputing 1 day ago:
I feel like there should be a law to release the bits we need to support these efforts.
Too many times a product will die or a company will fold along with all its documentation.
Maybe release a final firmware opening up a product. Or at the very least a git repo with api documentation.
- Comment on Sales of Hard Drives for the End of the World Boom Under Trump 1 day ago:
Yeah that’s a solid recap.
I now possess the knowledge about generating power to life off the grid using old motors salvaged from a junkyard thanks to my own personal research and video tutorials.
My intent with bringing that up is the hope of the existence of a document covering this topic in a preppers backup.
In a post apocalyptic scenario humanity has been proven to band together in groups and cooperate to survive. It’s less murder/greed and more sharing/helping. In these small groups it would only take one prepper or even an engineer to setup a generator or even just get solar panels to hookup for basic electricity.
Many of these points could be moot in a nuclear scenario where were dealing with EMPs and radiation.

Yeah my first thought was wondering what community projects exist to generate a guide to download all this info. I knew you could download all of Wikipedia but not the rest.
- Comment on Sales of Hard Drives for the End of the World Boom Under Trump 1 day ago:
I’ve seen people make power generators using old washing machine motors. Youtube is full of them. Cutting PVC pipes to make wind ones and even water based ones off of rivers.
I feel like some people would figure out basic electrical grids for led lights in homes at night and possibly a battery bank made of car batteries or something.
Getting a laptop working in that environment wouldn’t be too far of a stretch. Just need to find an old brother laser printer and a Linux USB and you’re golden.
Print off the critical farming/water treatment stuff you need and power it off.

You two have fun and keep the games going. It’s better than just binge watching a show together.

I’m picturing a couple cuddled up in bed. Sitting up with a single DS. One person “driving” the game and the other backseating occasionally.
Then the dialogue hits and y’all dub it.
Sounds like an awesome time! - Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 2 days ago:
Farming sim? No stressful management? Witchcraft?
You caught my interest and my attention.

Good to note
- Comment on Perplexity’s Android App Is Infested With Security Flaws, Report Finds 1 week ago:
Agreed. Website works perfectly fine on mobile.
You can even take the website and “add to homepage” on android effectively making it a webapp.
I don’t know why people install apps…

I actually hop around a few sites just to read comments on episodes so this is extremely valid.
- Comment on Confused about the many ebook/manga management solutions 1 week ago:
If you want simplicity I recommend skipping all self hosted solutions. You can set mihon to download X chapters ahead for offline reading and delete chapters as you read. On a kindle I’d recommend save as archive and/or cut tall images (webtoons).
Ebooks take no space.
Stick to calibre on your computer and transfer via netshare using a file browser (android: solid explorer) to copy stuff over. That’s what I do. - Comment on Confused about the many ebook/manga management solutions 1 week ago:
Mihon is the successor to takiyomi. It’s a manga website scrapper. But it also supports some self hosted solutions for reading across devices.
Make sure to add this special repo: raw.githubusercontent.com/…/index.min.json
It really sounds like you’re trying to setup a centralized solution for media consumption and I might be confusing you with my recommendations.
I read on only one device so this works for me. Mihon supports self hosted solutions. ReadEra is just a nice reading client. I manage it with a file explorer and netshare (Solid explorer)
- Comment on Confused about the many ebook/manga management solutions 1 week ago:
Android tablet phone here.
Manga - Mihon
Ebooks - ReadEra premium
I use calibre on my PC to manage ebooks, but I often download directly on my phone.
I use TTS (Text to speech) to listen to my ebooks. Sometimes I use @Voice to listen to books. It’s better for that.

I second this setup.
I have 3 ONN sticks and they do the job. Great for the price. Just sideload Kodi, new launcher, remap buttons.
- Comment on America is fucked 2 weeks ago:
This is a funny clip and an accurate depiction of NY congestion.
But, I live in a major city and weake way for ambulances. If it’s this bad we’ll end up with civilians running red lights or cops on motorbikes to unfuck gridlock.
I myself ran a red light last week in rush hour to GTFO when I hear sirens. Just turn on my hazards, slow roll into the red light. Cars were already stopping for me so I was safe, then pulled over.
This is really just making fun of NYC traffic and how fucked it is.
- Comment on Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message? 2 weeks ago:
I do a mix of both.
Start short and get to the point.
Add any extra crap below it.
Hey Bob we need X/Y/Z to finish the thing. Can you send it ASAP so we can continue.
Additional details:
- X is needed because of blah blah blah. Confirming the measurement and parts needed.
- Y is needed for compliance reporting in sister department in case of an audit.
- Z is requested by the project manager to justify additional man hours and assign more staff so we can meet the deadline.

Yeap. I picked the grass turtle to cheese Brock and Misty fights. He can also learn cut.
Then caught the lowest level magicarp I could find to slot 1. Gyarados with surf.

Yeah but don’t touch your shit until it bounces back. Touch it now and you’re selling low when you bought high.

This is the only strategy.
If I was smart I’d have switched my index to a global or overseas one. Then back after Tusk crashes the market. Which they did.

I bought a fake one off of Temu. It was so cheap why not.
Instantly knew it was fake once it was in my hands. Tried it anyway. Clearly just vibrating.
Returned it. They told me to keep it…

And it would totally never get abused or hit a false positive.

It does if it reports the URL to click home somewhere and users can opt in to pull the list to auto click.
It would DDoS the ad servers. Muwhahahaa
