- Comment on Is there any good free tutorials/courses that cover setup and administration of websites and web apps? 18 hours ago:
Yeah? That’s why OP posted it here, there are no stupid questions here.
- Comment on UK | Oatly banned from using word ‘milk’ to label vegan drinks 1 week ago:
No, I want to overthrow cow milk and destroy that industry. So I call all milks “milk” except cow milk, which I call cow juice.
- Comment on UK | Oatly banned from using word ‘milk’ to label vegan drinks 1 week ago:
Unless you’re drinking milk from the cow’s tit, your milk is very mucg an industrial product to make it shelf stable and consistent. People have a totally wrong idea of what real milk feels or tastes like or what’s involved in its production. At least oat milk is literally just filtered porridge you can make at home.

It’s only called Hamburger if it comes from the small town of Hamburg, Germany. Otherwise you must call it reformed organ patty. Ti’s the law.
- Comment on Portugal elects socialist as president but far-right rival takes record vote share 1 week ago:
Despite the name, PS isn’t a socialist party.
- Comment on Is what Elijah saying here true for all heroes and villains across the board? Or is it how it used to be? What would be equivalent today? 2 weeks ago:
Media today is way more subtle than that, in part because culturally we don’t need to be told so explicitly anymore. It’s similar to how villains used to, and sometimes still do, have a strong gay accent, because being queer coded was the same as being evil coded. That’s the same principle with the weird body proportions vs the perfect white American jaw.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
I want to understand this question. Is the implication that men don’t pee and poop/fart, or that you think women would somehow be different than men in this department? Do you only exclusively pee standing?
- Comment on I still haven't figured out how to do this 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, I wrote my thesis in it. As a programmer it made total sense to me.
- Comment on Is it possible to cool my body enough to not sweat while exercising? 3 weeks ago:
Sweat means your body is trying to cool down, not that your heart is pumping.
- Comment on How many active robots do you think exist today on this planeeet by your best estimate ? 3 weeks ago:
Automotive industry uses lots of robots. There’s little manual work in the production of cars nowadays.
- Comment on Train derailment in Córdoba, southern Spain kills five 4 weeks ago:
This is the worst thread to be pedantic, but I’m curious about your choice of unit. SI stipulates km/h although we often see kph (mostly next to imperial mph). But k/hr is particularly cursed.
- Comment on World's first hydrogen drone sent into a combat zone 4 weeks ago:
Not necessarily because diesel can be at atmospheric pressure while hydrogen needs heavier containers to keep it pressurised and liquid.
- Comment on Hypothetically, if your were a kid and your parents worked for a government intelligence agency, how would you keep secrets / have privacy from your parents? 4 weeks ago:
Do you assume secret services are constantly spying on their kids?
- Comment on Danish Forces Are Mandated to Fire Back if U.S. Attacks Greenland 5 weeks ago:
Israel is fighting a war with its neighbours. Not a world war. Funny you say that, because it almost became a world war because the US decided to bomb Iran.
Russia is also fighting wars at its borders trying to expand territory, but Russia doesn’t want that. They wanted a quick and easy takeover. It might push the EU to a war, but it’s still a local war.
The US is the most likely to start an intercontinental war. They attacked Iran, they attack Venezuela, and now they have again their eyes set on European territories.
- Comment on Danish Forces Are Mandated to Fire Back if U.S. Attacks Greenland 5 weeks ago:
You didn’t? Really? Who else is instigating global conflicts?
- Comment on Where are the marketing volunteers? 5 weeks ago:
Email was born in a service vacuum. The reason it still exists today is the same reason nothing else can become as ubiquitous as email.
- Comment on How do you build revolutionary optimism in these dark times? 5 weeks ago:
What kind of software is getting better? Most commercial software has steadily gotten worse, moving to subscription models, taking more risks with updates and breaking things. I remember clearly when Github got bought by Microsoft. Since then, outages became a common occurance whereas before they were rare.
Open source software is arguably getting better and better, but less people are willing to do it for free while big tech reaps their free labour for profit with no return.
- Comment on State of the Fin 2026-01-06 | Jellyfin 1 month ago:
The fact that jellyfin let’s you sort your media exactly the way you want without promoting or hiding content already puts JF miles ahead any commercial streaming services. The ease of mind is unbeatable.
- Comment on I am so scared of nuclear war, how do I cope with it? 1 month ago:
I do the closest thing I can, which is lick my smoke alarm every night and sleep with 1kg of banana next to my pillow.
- Comment on I am so scared of nuclear war, how do I cope with it? 1 month ago:
That definitely helps putting my mind off of the fear of radiation. Thanks.
- Comment on I love science 1 month ago:
That’s because your frigid heart doesn’t understand the science of looooove
- Comment on Vietnam introduces tougher penalties on e-cigarette and heated tobacco use 1 month ago:
This can only be because of tobacco industry lobbying.
- Comment on I know its hard to digest. 1 month ago:
What’s this, 2023?
- Comment on Where are you running your wireguard endpoint? 1 month ago:
On the home server on the host. I couldn’t figure out how to make it work in a container and still have ssh access to the host, which was my goal…
- Comment on What DDNS providers you guys recommend? 1 month ago:
Same! I setup a cronjob calling namecheap dyndns API.
- Comment on UN expresses concern about suppression of Estonian Orthodox Christian Church rights 1 month ago:
What a weird rake from the UN. Minority rights? This is the biggest religious institution in the country, not some minority. The church has no business receiving money from the state.
- Comment on EU to unveil plan to tackle housing crisis 1 month ago:
And I think enterprises should pay higher taxes than individuals even for the first house, as companies are not people and thus don’t need a place to live.
- Comment on Amazon says blocked 1,800 North Koreans from applying for jobs 1 month ago:
I do wonder what the future for NK is. A lot of the cyber crime they commit is for financial reasons. As an extremely isolated country, barred from trading with most of the world, with most of the population stuck in poverty, there’s not that many ways for it to leave its current situation. And because they are already isolated, they are immune to the usual sanctions. So cyber crime will continue being a very lucrative business.
- Comment on at what point in life it's too late to go back to school? 1 month ago:
Depends what you want. It’s never late to pursue an academic interest. But realistically if you’re going back to school to change careers, probably from 35 up it starts being hard to justify. If you just want to go to school to supplement your current skills, it’s never too late.
- Comment on 1936 - "absolutely invisible even with the most perfectly fitted gown" 1 month ago:
Tampax was indeed designed by a physician. A male one, if you can believe. So when he says they are super comfortable, you know it’s true because it’s a man’s opinion.
