- Comment on Traditions are just a society having OCD 18 hours ago:
And things like kosher diets are a few thousand years old and effectively exist to reduce the odds of getting Trichinosis and are just a less effective tradition.
The list is huge when you look at traditions and which of them actually produce a measurable benefit but it is true modern traditions tend to be more effective
- Comment on F dieting! 1 day ago:
Just go vegan and enjoy your food everyday.
- Comment on Traditions are just a society having OCD 1 day ago:
Many traditions like hand washing, public bathrooms, sewage systems and the cooking of food are literally about keeping people safe and alive.
This OCD is not only justified but why OCD is an essential part of what it means to be human.
- Comment on Someone should digitally remake the Bourne movies and make everyone in the films Jason Bourne 2 days ago:
Everyone looks exactly the same but wearing different clothes and sounding different. As all humans are effectively clones in their eyes.
Kinda like how humans can’t tell black cats apart but cats can.
- Comment on Someone should digitally remake the Bourne movies and make everyone in the films Jason Bourne 2 days ago:
This is literally how people with some types of facial aphasia see other people
- Comment on Great business idea, tbh 2 days ago:
An actual capitalist innovation
- Comment on What's a bad habit you use to have for a long time but finally fixed? 1 week ago:
Oral fixation.
Boy friends loved it, my husband was the first person who encouraged me to go to therapy and address my emotional and anxiety issues.

No, 0x20 is the space character

They also have to comply with the laws of physics and die if they don’t get enough food.
Also for every flying insect that you see, there are usually 20 times that many flying insects that you didn’t.
- Comment on I would give my life savings for something that eradicates them from my apartment 😌 1 week ago:
Well just regularly clean your house properly and then there will be no food for insects and thus no prey for them to eat and thus they will not be in your house.
- Comment on I finally decided to go full piracy against big companies 2 weeks ago:
Better to go to GPLv3 games.
Because they are most scared that people don’t even want to pirate their shit.
- Comment on Ultra-rare unreleased Pentium 4 with 4.0 GHz clock speed discovered — CPU-Z confirms it is an Intel Pentium Extreme Edition 980 2 weeks ago:
There were hundreds of people with those back in the day on overclocking forums, a few got those chips to 6Ghz with liquid nitrogen.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Well is there any reason why you can’t just use kodi with a read-only network share?
- Comment on In this dire time ... 2 weeks ago:
I absolutely love this and will cherish them forever
- Comment on Does IT know something we dont? 3 weeks ago:
Yes, the answer is always yes.
But that is because you never read the documentation, the notes, the emails and never seem to remember what they told you during the call or when they met with you in person. You even forget about the teams of technical staff that saved millions or even billions of dollars.
IT is starting to wonder if we are the silent because this is quite irksome.
- Comment on What's the most offensive word I can use that isn't a slur? 3 weeks ago:
It is a Dead Like Me series reference

Moist
- Comment on The Video-Game Industry Has a Problem: There Are Too Many Games 3 weeks ago:
The answer is slow gaming. If it is not still known as a good game 5-10 years after release, it is not worth buying.
Also helps avoid games which vanish like a fart after they get your money.
- Comment on The Rapture could have happened, but nobody would know because everyone got left behind 3 weeks ago:
I know, my kids remind me.
- Comment on Cooking 😋 3 weeks ago:
Not enough garlic in that picture
- Comment on The Rapture could have happened, but nobody would know because everyone got left behind 3 weeks ago:
Well assuming the 100k rapture, only 1 in 60K people would be raptured.
So if it happened one person in an average city disappeared.
So if we can get a few thousand people to drop clothes on the streets on the same day, there would be no way for them to figure it out.
- Comment on Amazon is making it impossible to remove the DRM from Kindle Books 3 weeks ago:
Ok look an article from 1997 which predicted this very thing
- Comment on Shh 4 weeks ago:
Well take the global number of people who do that and multiply it by their average yearly usage and then compare it against the global plastic straw usage in tons.
If it is far lower, it is fine.
If it is close or higher, just advocate for proper recycling/disposal.
- Comment on what's your take on employers banning the use of languages other than English between coworkers at the workplace? 4 weeks ago:
That is not a single boss but an industry wide standard, like using metric vs imperial units. There is no market corrective mechanism in that case and thus quitting would be pointless.
But excellent point.
Another example would be requiring code to be written in Java or COBOL.
- Comment on Or the common cold! 4 weeks ago:
Well that would require us to be in a society that values scientific research and investing in the public interest.
Unfortunately we are living in an age of deception and greed.
- Comment on Do drug cartels let the US and other countries "catch" their shipments? Like the US caught 1 billion of drugs over here while we ship 6 billion worth of drugs over there? 4 weeks ago:
Well the smart cartels just pay a handful of people and the Trump administration uses military planes to transport the drugs into the country and then forgets all about it and funnels the money into the right pockets.
- Comment on what's your take on employers banning the use of languages other than English between coworkers at the workplace? 4 weeks ago:
It is a sign that they have an unhealthy need to control others and it is best to get everyone to quit collectively
- Comment on Oh nooo! 4 weeks ago:
Godzilla is never a problem assuming that you are not a greedy industrialist or enslaving people.
If anything Godzilla means less giant monsters trying to eat people.
- Comment on What is the easiest way to have a self hosted git server? 5 weeks ago:
git init --bare
And then just ssh to the server to push/pull. It can’t be any simpler
- Comment on What is there to know about magnetic storage mediums? 5 weeks ago:
Depends on a couple different factors such as how robust you want the data encoded and the length of the tape.
Assuming 1mm thick tape encoding 11 bits (8 data, 3 error correction) per row at about 1mm wide and 10 meters of tape; you could store 10MB robustly. Higher density is more difficult but entirely possible.
