- Comment on Google confirms more ads on your paid YouTube Premium Lite soon 3 weeks ago:
No; I don’t think there will be.
- Comment on Safe to run a box fan face down? 4 weeks ago:
Anecdotal, but I ran a fan in that exact orientation for years with no issues. I used it for an overhead fan in a garage.

One charlatan calling out another.
Carry on.
- Comment on What games are just objective master pieces? 4 weeks ago:
I think the word you are looking for is pedant.
Better vocabulary will help get your point across better. Without also sounding like an edgy atheist teen.
- Comment on Why 3D-Printing an Untraceable Ghost Gun Is Easier Than Ever (Podcast 18mins) 5 weeks ago:
You 3D print something with no serial and it’s untraceable.
Except for all the metal parts they used a debit card/paypal to buy.
- Comment on New Cars Don't All Come With Dipsticks Anymore, Here's Why 5 weeks ago:
For what it’s worth I have yet to actually physically see a new vehicle without an oil dipstick.
It seems to be mostly a euro thing. BMW stopped using oil dipsticks nearly 2 decades ago. Land Rover also somewhere in the late 00’s.
But I agree it’s a moronic idea. Not only does it prevent you from checking oil condition like you said; if it’s after an oil change, it takes about 15min just to check the level (and another 15 if you messed it up). At $150+/hr shop rates, that adds up.
- Comment on The original Stalker trilogy is getting a free upgrade that brings in reworked lighting, full controller support, and more 1 month ago:
Hell yeah. This will help scratch that Stalker itch while the newest one gets a little more time in the oven.
- Comment on Very gently, I’m sure 1 month ago:
ABS would be better in that regard, it has a higher plasticity and less likely to fragment. But the one in the OP is PVC. ABS pipe is black.
- Comment on Very gently, I’m sure 1 month ago:
Fun fact: PVC doesn’t show up on x-rays. So when this thing turns into shrapnel and embeds itself in your abdomen; doctors get to just hunt around and hope they get all the pieces.
- Comment on Me when I zoom past traffic on my e-scooter 1 month ago:
Yeah a plated dirt bike rules (as long as your commute is less than ~20mi). Gets 75mpg, goes literally anywhere (even where it’s not supposed to), and you look cool doing it.
- Comment on I wonder what the specs are on the technology that disables shopping cart wheels 1 month ago:
Here’s a decent rundown.

Easy fix.

“Pokable” was my first hope too, but it doesn’t look so.
- Comment on Time to yeet your smartphone into the long grass 2 months ago:
Just trading one scroll wheel for another. “Surely the next channel won’t be another crazy preacher.” (It was).
- Comment on Framework temporarily pausing some laptop sales in the US due to tariffs 2 months ago:
Well, my original question stands. Is it really a better business decision to choose not to sell at all vs raising prices.
I run a US business where the cost of materials has always been volatile and the cost of the end product follows that. 40% swings aren’t uncommon and just get passed onto the end user; my profit stays relatively the same. So I can’t fathom just locking the doors when things get expensive (and people are still willing to pay it).
I could understand it if they were doing it as some form of protest, but then it doesn’t make sense to only stop selling the low priced options. That’s just hurting the people furthest removed from what you are protesting.
- Comment on Framework temporarily pausing some laptop sales in the US due to tariffs 2 months ago:
But like that article says, automakers have ~3 months of inventory already in the US. They aren’t pausing sales, they are just continuing selling what they have here while betting the tariffs get lowered in the next 3 months.
- Comment on Framework temporarily pausing some laptop sales in the US due to tariffs 2 months ago:
How is pausing sales in one area, rather than just raising prices accordingly, the better business decision? No one is forcing them to sell at a specific price point.
- Comment on Switch 2 GameCube controller will only be offered to those who pre-order the console 2 months ago:
K. I’ll just wait for the 8bitdo clone.
- Comment on Why can't I block rule 34 community? 2 months ago:
If you are using the web client can you go to: settings -> blocks -> Block community, and block it from there?
- Comment on A 32-bit RISC-V processor made using molybdenum disulfide instead of silicon 2 months ago:
Molybdenum disulfide itself is plentiful. It’s a common lubricant. But I have no idea what turning it into a single atom thick sheet entails.
- Comment on If these mother fuckers are trying to make me pay for Healthcare to talk to fucking ChatGPT I swear to god ChatGPT is going to write me so many scripts for opioids its won't be funny. 2 months ago:
I would almost accept AI accelerating humanities downfall if it could get us neutral, non-religious, non-prejudiced doctors & therapists for a while.

Is there a lemmy equivalent for HydroHomies?
- Comment on The admin of the third largest Mastodon instance (16k monthly active users) is asking for help to pay rent 2 months ago:
I think you’re misreading my reply (or i worded it poorly). I agree with you 100% and do contribute to the instances I use and the content creators I watch.
- Comment on The admin of the third largest Mastodon instance (16k monthly active users) is asking for help to pay rent 2 months ago:
So? Do, or don’t. Either their service provides people with enough value to donate to keep it running, or it doesn’t and goes under.
Altruism doesn’t pay the bills; but it doesn’t hurt to ask. Can’t blame them for that.
- Comment on Hey, do americans just want to take a break from normal politics for a bit and focus all our efforts solely on the wild boar problem? 3 months ago:
I can kill wild pigs. They’re only level 1
These aren’t. Most animals that you get to hunt in the US will run away if you take a shot and miss. Hogs just might decide to turn around and fucking disembowel you.

- Comment on Opinions Wanted: Creeky Floors 3 months ago:
Trim screws have small heads so they are even less noticeable. That’s what I’ve been fixing my squeaky floor boards with.

Can Jellyfin handle symlinks? That’s all it would take to sell me at this point.
