- Comment on A new generation of cheaper batteries is sweeping the EV industry 3 days ago:
Maybe, but this is why I already bought an EV in 2020. By the time the battery has degraded, I hope to be able to replace them with cheaper, higher capacity upgrades.

I heard if you ingest huge quantities of bananine, you will see the golden path humanity must walk, but will be condemned to life as a half banana, half human monstrosity.

Pass me some apostate-o chips while I log in then!

I am Jack’s Lungs. I breath in soot and particles and eventually they cause cancer and I kill Jack.
That’s how that shit works, homes. Not a thing to “idk whatev” about.
- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 6 days ago:
Ok but maybe a counterpoint is we are overestimating the ability of the atmosphere and ocean to absorb CO2 and maintain a habitable planet. I’d rather store isotopes in the earth (where they came from anyway) than carbon in the air.
- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 6 days ago:
mmmm sounds like someone has zero concept of the scale of the problem: ie how much cable we’d need to bury. Simmer down Tony Snark, you’re demonstrably less clever than the rest of the species’ experts in this.

It should also be a strong strong signal to stop listening to the apes that are hoarding all the bananas, and instead, eat that banana-hoarding abhorrence.
- Comment on Microsoft Edge gets "unfair advantage", browser makers claim 1 month ago:
As it’s based on chromium, I’d call what it has a handicap and just keep on using Firefox.

Additionally: if you’re at a gas station filling an ICE vehicle and you get mugged, and you panic and peel out, there’s gas going everywhere, plenty of potential ignition sources etc.
The argument “I have more control and agency therefore I am quantifiably safer” can fuck alllllll the way off. Safety regulations are written in blood.
- Comment on Elon Musk’s X is now worth less than a quarter of its $44 billion purchase price 1 month ago:
Now, call me crazy, but if I was optimizing for maximum welding power, I’d start with oxy acetylene and at least try a few other options. How would buying a website even be a good start?
No wonder people are making fun of him!
- Comment on Elon Musk’s X is now worth less than a quarter of its $44 billion purchase price 1 month ago:
He is a net loss for humanity is the currency is moralistic.
We be deep in the red between Trump, Bezos, this clown and many other “captains of industry”.

Ok my investments have all tanked so I guess I’m an insurgent working to tear down the system from within 🤷♂️

- Comment on YouTube is Losing The War Against Adblockers 2 months ago:
No, it potentially impacts cpu power profile (if it’s toggling between AC and DC because of a loose connection)
This would adjust throttling of the cpu, which could impact playback in certain cases, so it’s possible. Likely other apps would be affected but OP was probably most often watching videos while plugged so noticed mostly there 🤷

You were the one looking for proof? Then you do the googling.
That is how this shit works, genius.

404 Ethics not found. Go be evil elsewhere.
Has a nice ring to it. Though google deserves their own special fuck-you http status. Maybe we can crack the 600s

- Comment on Logitech has ‘no plans’ for a subscription mouse 3 months ago:
Not just wanted to make, the original article implied existence of a prototype. That’s “putting into effect a plan” which, for fans of causality, implies a pre-existing plan.

Turdonomy AND Turdology, a double threat!
- Comment on Most consumers hate the idea of AI-generated customer service 4 months ago:
Fair point but no one wants to deal with my incessant whining, and you couldn’t pay me enough to deal with it. Sometimes a scratching post is what the cat needs.
- Comment on X weighs adding a downvote button to replies — but it doesn't want to emulate Reddit 4 months ago:
This is about that Twitter website people used to use right? Sorry, out of the loop here.

Thanks! I checked my wishlist earlier this week but maybe it was before the summer sale or something. Either way, appreciate the heads up!

Oh, that’s Witcher 2: Ice Road Witcher.
- Comment on Are there any games you're planning to pick up during the Steam and GOG sales? 4 months ago:
Oh man. Once you get some of the higher level fighting moves that games can just be a ballet of rend and slice.

I’m really hoping for an armored core 6 sale soon!

Well as an avowed fan of every voice actor ever, thanks for your work, and now I will forever be speculating on the pitch and timbre you might have delivered.
- Comment on US to impose tariffs on Chinese EVs next week 6 months ago:
Nope. This just seems patently obvious to any but the dull-witted or anyone whose paycheck depends on denial of some fairly basic facts.
- Comment on US to impose tariffs on Chinese EVs next week 6 months ago:
Doesn’t the use have much higher wealth inequality than China’s? If so, is that not the result of corruption? If not, so you consider the visible symptoms of it?
- Comment on US to impose tariffs on Chinese EVs next week 6 months ago:
Maybe the problem is our lifestyles. I’m unaware of any long term studies suggesting that in a situation in which the population increases and the resources and land are fixed, that it gets cheaper for anyone wanting anything.
