- Comment on If restaurants just microwave their food can I just get the frozen version and cut out the middle man? 15 hours ago:
The ones sold in supermarkets are not the same as what are distributed to restaurants. Plus, you don’t have the right equipment to make it the same way as the restaurant.
- Comment on Important information about compatibility of Nintendo Switch games with Nintendo Switch 2 1 day ago:
The ones that require you to insert the switch into them make sense. There are no excuses for the remainder.

- Comment on Roman numerals could be based on what your hand looks like when you count. 3 days ago:
Masters in classics here. They literally are, even the number 4. Look at a watch with Roman numerals and notice that the 4 is “IIII”.
I = 1 finger … V = open hand … X = two open hands next to each other

Someone like 40 years ago told him what they are. He did not understand and keep repeating the mistake.

Reasonable doubt applies to criminal law. Civil law only requires the preponderance of evidence.

- A good engineering pencil can be used for anything.

Error: fountain pen not found
- Comment on Trump has pummelled America to the edge of recession. It could destroy his dreams 2 weeks ago:
More and more, I think that someone some decades ago explained tariffs to Trump and he did not understand the explanation. He has since been living his own head cannon.
- Comment on Millennials are watching monthly student loan payments skyrocket from $500 to $5000 under Trump: This will ‘crash the economy’ 2 weeks ago:
I made up a number when I said 10–it was rhetorical. But from your own story, you’re looking at 5 before you’re making the money.

lol tell that to my angry brothers who work in construction. they were so antiunion and it hurt them

True, but that might take you 10 years to get to a point where you’re no longer the new person and have skills to back it up.

There are no cheaper schools. There are expensive ones and more expensive ones. There is literally no option for the non-rich except to go into debt or learn to be a plumber.

- Comment on why was 1995 video games console very pixel art graphics but music was high quality and images were great??, 4 weeks ago:
TLDR; these had built in musical synthesizers. Same sorts of chips you’d find in electronic keyboards. You don’t have to record the sound, just the instruction for the chip to play the sound you want.
- Comment on I'm Tired of Pretending Tech is Making the World Better 4 weeks ago:
I do think you’re right. Friendster and MySpace were pretty much the peak, then when real social media took over, it all went to shit. Since then, tech exists not to perform some function but to justify its existence specifically to earn money.
- Comment on Now that Trump is getting real chummy with Putin where does that leave China? 4 weeks ago:
I am surprised that you had to point that out, if I am honest. I’d have expected people who have reasoned opinions on China to understand that basic part of Chinese (or possibly Asian-at-large) culture.
- Comment on Why does it seem like many Americans have an arrogant personality trait? 4 weeks ago:
The US suffers deeply from cultural narcissism where a significant number of people believe that their needs are more important than the needs of others.

Not sure why you’re trying to give up your rights, but ok.
- Comment on Has America Reached Its Tipping Point with Ignorance? 1 month ago:
The internet has been around, as you understand it now, since the late 1990s. 1995 - 1996 is earliest analog to what we have now.
