Hold on, I gotta watch a Charmin commercial before my toilet 🚽 will flush for me…you know, my toilet that I purchased for my restroom. …it’s coming, laugh now but you, know it! Cha-cha-cha! Charmin!
- Comment on How rental ‘libraries of things’ have become the new way to save money 3 days ago:
I should start my own rental thing. I tend to buy what I need for DIY projects and I’m on the build up of tools phase. I can pretty much build my own house if I wanted, or fix anything in my car. So I got a number of toys just catching dust most of the time. But toys are fun.
- Comment on Innovation or Overreach? UH Research Casts blame on OceanGate's Submersible Design says: Low quality carbon fibre lead to the accident 3 days ago:
I can show anyone that I can successfully apply low grade carbon fiber as flooring material. No matter what grade porcelain you use, you probably wouldn’t use it for a submarine, car or plane body. It’s all about proper engineering design based on sound science and testing of materials.
- Comment on Is Boeing in big trouble? World's largest aerospace firm faces 10 more whistleblowers after sudden death of two 3 days ago:
George Carlin did talk about the 20? Senior citizens who past away in Bolivia when they all stood up on a goddamn rollercoaster. Right into the fresh Bolivian La Paz air. I thought I should mention it since free tickets to Dizne could be the first step Being used to reproduce such a catastrophic event.
Watch out you whistleblowing yous out there. Accept no free tickets for Dizne.
- Comment on Extremist Militias Are Coordinating in More Than 100 Facebook Groups 5 days ago:
I said if so I’m covered either way. I have family in the pig sty…so at least some cops are just oiky cute little buggers. But a pig is a pig is a pig gotta pig.
Yesterday on my way to work as usual everyone was slowly crawling to the 20mph sign by the nearby school. But no cop. But then eventually down the road the cop had caught somebody.
So basically we all gathered to vote to borrow a cop from another precinct just so he can catch us going 25 or 23 near a school. And you gotta watch it. It’s basically a permanent fear mongering illegal check point. Can’t the fucker go stop people at the qwickee Mart or something at least one day of the week?

- Comment on Extremist Militias Are Coordinating in More Than 100 Facebook Groups 5 days ago:
Okay now if we get the pigs from the previous post to chase the extremist groups then that’s a win win! But if the cops are part of the extremist groups, then we’re screwed.
- Comment on After 16 years, Ecobee is shutting down support for the original smart thermostat 6 days ago:
Yeah. The server and software should be open source and API available. That way we actually own the system and don’t have to just toss it out if someone goes out of business.
Fucking ulock for example suddenly wants me to create an account and sign in to their website to use my front door lock! What the fuck is that! We need consumer protections for this sort of shit. I didn’t sign up to giving away when I come in and when I go out of my house! WTF to the max!
- Comment on Windows 11 just isn't enticing Windows 10 users to upgrade, and its market share is actually falling 6 days ago:
It slowed down my desktop experience significantly. Like it makes no sense at all. One day I’m working I solidworks on windows 10 and old computer at acceptable speed, the next I get assigned a new, bastly improved computer, with windows 11 and solidworks latest version, and it’s slow as fuck! I just want to end it sometimes. It lags, it crashes, it’s worthless! SW is worthless on its own, but with windows 11 its like 10 times worse. I think they are actually serving it on a server secretly and we are just remoting into it. It behaves almost exactly as when using remote desktop. It’s terrible and I want it gone!
- Comment on Google lays off hundreds of 'Core' employees, moves some positions to India and Mexico 1 week ago:
Borrowing from the Simpsons…sorry Gupta and Raj and all my other Indian friends…“hey Mr Google! Don’t eat the cookies from the Cookie jar!” But instead of cookies it was pickles. And then Mexico! My friends and family… Google will have to figure out how to de-drug, and de-kidnap the place. It’s really dangerous going there now and it has been like that for decades now.

It’s almost like lifting a large area of the world by just a few microns per year using hydraulics and then pushing all the power through a tiny tiny hole the size of a house.

- Comment on Tesla’s Autopilot and Full Self-Driving linked to hundreds of crashes, dozens of deaths 1 week ago:
It’s just a dozen! You know how many people COVID took? And everyone wanted COVID! …it spreads of the air? Where’s my fabric non filtering 😷 mask with added holes baby!? So you know…how cool would it be if you’re riding a ordinary car and someone else is driving it into a wall or semi, except it’s actually not a sentient being but an algorithm? It would be pretty cool right?

- Comment on YouTube Tests Showing Ads When You Pause a Video, Calls it ''Pause Ads'' 1 week ago:
Well here we are sharing textual communication on fedi. It’s only a slight stretch. Like maybe I will share space by “liking” a video. Or maybe you have to explicitly click a “serve” or “seed” button. It’s not pie in the sky and it would eliminate all ads and other shit videos…you like a video ? Ok share it or download it if you want.
- Comment on YouTube Tests Showing Ads When You Pause a Video, Calls it ''Pause Ads'' 1 week ago:
Both seem/are single point of failure choices. I like a fediverse YouTube alternative.

- Comment on Chinese battery developer unveils new tech with 1,300-mile range that could revolutionize EVs: 'An important piece of the puzzle' 1 week ago:
It’s the development time 🙂. For example the new generation microchips. You know the US has them and Taiwan makes them. China is currently developing the technology. They got all their technology development partners out in the US and Taiwan working hard to develop all the little details.

First they need Toyota to test their chemistry and develop their battery production system…it’s part of the way Chinese companies develop technology.
If Toyota can do it, China will too! A win-win!
