- Comment on Terrified friends burn to death trapped in Tesla as doors won't open after crash 3 days ago:
I want to see you recite a haiku while the car is burning. Can’t think of one? Maybe relying on knowledge instead of intuition isn’t such a great idea.
People have died in front of emergency escape doors that are slide to open instead of push because of air pressure, so expecting people to find a little loop under a plastic cover in the door compartment during an emergency is asinine. Which is the case for Tesla Y, btw.

For some it’s an accident, inspiration for others: the unexpected origin of Raygun.

I’m so sad that the meme deteriorated. The original Hooty McOwlface was more complex, but the hivemind made it stupid. Boaty McBoatface should have been e. g. Horny McBoatface.

Well, it turns out they both tell me I’m a little too fat.

Love it when people handle money with a gloved hand. They didn’t understand the concept.

That’s how you recognize bullshit. If there was a kernel of truth worth protecting the offending posts would be removed.

- Comment on Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered - Announce Trailer | PS5 & PC Games 1 month ago:
Greed is a hell of a drug. Enshittification of the game industry means you buy the final edition after a few years at a sale and ignore any remasters/rereleases/remakes/reskins since they’re all obvious cash grabs and add less and less to the game.
- Comment on Square! 1 month ago:
The 90 degree angles are supposed to be on the inside. Which in this case would mean at least the same side. Otherwise the 360 degree rule is broken and it’s not a rectangle, much less a square.

- Comment on Headlamp tech that doesn’t blind oncoming drivers—where is it? 1 month ago:
That’s the reason I think matrix lights should be outlawed. They allow plausible deniability for the driver. “oh sorry, is my matrix broken?” No, it never worked to begin with; bikes and pedestrians are blinded. Drivers on the opposite lane are blinded if there’s a divider between sensor and lamp. You’re illuminating the town like breaking dawn because your matrix doesn’t care about sleep, either!

The problem is non-savvy people classifying connecting a Bluetooth or wifi as complicated.
- Comment on Microsoft is bringing annoying Windows 11 Start menu ads to Windows 10 2 months ago:
There once was a time when I would have recommended VMWare, since Workstation is now free for personal use and HyperV is missing crucial direct hardware throughput, but… It’s shit now. Doesn’t work properly under W11.
Why does every tech company seem to have reached the ‘collapse’ part of enshittification simultaneously? Couldn’t they have staggered it a little?
- Comment on Guess I'll km/s 2 months ago:
kWh has an intuitive reason. Watts are so small that you’d always calculate consumption in MJ and whatnot, and seconds are so short that you’d always be expressing time in ks. Using kWh will reduce the numbers to useful ranges and makes cancelling M and k unnecessary.
- Comment on Customers who save on electric bills could be forced to pay Louisiana utility company for lost profits 2 months ago:
My lamp oil business has the same problem, ever since that darn Edison came along my deserved profits have been dwindling! And my cousin has a limestone tablet store, you can’t imagine what it’s like!
It’s what happens when you calculate with infinite growth. Eventually you’ll be surprised by the fact that it isn’t. The only reason why they’re thinking they’re OWED that money is because someone wrote down a number.
Brb, making a company, projecting 10b revenue in 2 years, complain how numbers are being suppressed, maybe sue the government for one thing or another. No I don’t have a product yet. That’s how it works, right?
