What a ride that is, especially for Doom players going in blind.
- Comment on I will not be taking questions. 4 days ago:
Depends on the cat. If they're simply going with tapping the roll to spin it, that may work for a bit. I've found that rolls accessible to a cat tend to morph into big balls of clawed unusable pulp.

Usenet. Go back to the base level.
- Comment on Ticketmaster breach, beaches in general 6 days ago:
I've come to the conclusion that all these breach notices and the free stuff they offer for X months is a huge scam to get you sign up up for something. Either that, or every company has woefully underpaid/incompetent IT people. I'm waiting for the next news story to break on another company that somehow got passwords or identity info hacked that was stored in plain text...something I learned how to not do back in the 90s with basic HTML and PHP.
- Comment on if jupiter gained enough mass to trigger fusion and ignite into a star... 1 week ago:
Aside from the orbit change mentioned, the huge increase in stellar radiation would certainly blow much of the lighter elements including water away. The core and some residuals that might remain on the far sides would be all that's left.
- Comment on Choose your Fighter 2 weeks ago:
That was news to me. The wiki for Torosaurus is a deep rabbit hole, and since fossilization is rare and we have to go with what little we can find, this will probably be a long debate either way.
With that being said, whatever the name, three horn dino is best dino! And weird that the meme wouldn't have one on there, since it has always been a well known dinosaur in movies and toys.
- Comment on UK petition of "Require videogame publishers to keep games they have sold in a working state" just got thrown back to the Government 1 month ago:
I'm curious on how signers of this petition think companies could afford to do this. Often times shutting a game down is because the interest of players has waned. Making a law to require them to keep that server and software running...forever? Is the end goal to kill any online game development?
It would make sense to require a company to release the code for players to host their own servers, which has been done by many games in the past. Not to continue to run it themselves.
- Comment on Chicken vs Egg 1 month ago:
Wherever humans draw the line. The meme uses the assumption that there is a clear change from earlier species to later descendants, when it reality it is a continuous change of many characteristics each time an individual reproduces and spreads their genetics. It's the flaw of the missing link argument.
- Comment on Google has an idea to prevent phone scams, but it'll mean allowing its AI to listen in on your calls 1 month ago:
Google promised
You mean the company that got rid of their previous motto of "do no evil"?
- Comment on Republicans are pulling out all the stops to reverse EV adoption 1 month ago:
And making more than the minimum the government requires them to make for quota. Demand is even there now, so there's no excuse other than the bottom line, plus a bit of cooperation with the oil companies.
- Comment on Republicans are pulling out all the stops to reverse EV adoption 1 month ago:
"Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman accused President Biden of being “willing to sacrifice the American auto industry and its workers in service of its radical green agenda."
I mean we could try and transition workers from a more negative industry type to a positive one...but that seems like a lot of work and less profitable, so never mind.
- Comment on Here’s How That Disney 360° Treadmill Works 1 month ago:
I don't think it needs to be much bigger for an individual, just fast enough to keep them near the center even at a run. Smaller pads will be the way to go, just have to drive and control them in sync. Maybe predictive software to only run where your feet are at or will be, to minimize the noise.

That scientist must not know how much mass hits the atmosphere each day from meteors.
- Comment on cute little devils 2 months ago:
That look. I'm not petting it.
- Comment on I fixed my dad's angle grinder with a ball bearing I salvaged from my gerbil's old excercise wheel a few years back. 2 months ago:
Then there's the feeling when you finally let something go that you've had for ages just gathering dust, and suddenly a need pops up for it.
- Comment on somewhere a postdoc is crying 2 months ago:
Thanks for the extra info. I figured it applied across many solutions. And your TLDR was my initial response - chemistry...well physics in general to cover everything else too, is weird.
- Comment on aliens. 2 months ago:
"They're the same picture." Relatively.
Who knows what an alien's obscene graffiti looks like?
"Glorb, have you been doing those disgusting symmetry circles again? Pervert."
- Comment on somewhere a postdoc is crying 2 months ago:
My uneducated gut feeling is that it's due to the ratio of water and how the water molecules interact with the acid. Other acids have similar curves (in that they aren't a smooth curve).

Don't embarrass us, call a big one.
Not that big.
- Comment on Peak technology 3 months ago:
We had a 5P back in the Win98 days, and it was exactly what you'd expect a printer to be. The refills were pricey, but they'd last a long time (we printed a lot then). And you could get a bit more life out of an empty drum if you shook the hell out it.
I do wonder about compatibility with Win10/11 at this point. I know some other old devices I still have around are all but impossible to get to work.

It's uncanny how any post about problems with HP always has the same solution in the comments. Brother.
In related news, learning what Audi is doing with their new model and subscriptions makes me think the world has gone mad.
- Comment on How many times will I tell you? 3 months ago:
It's best to have an agreed default in a household, so there's no surprises during a half awake trip or an emergency. Lid down is the best hygienically, but seat down is better than all up as it's a shared need for everyone sometimes.
Women who do lid up for the men have done that out of a history of men in their lives thinking their aim is perfect.
- Comment on why don't people say mega meters 3 months ago:
That unit is used a lot in the space game Elite Dangerous. Never saw it used before that, but it made sense because it's the next jump up in large units, and it also helps keep the UI clean looking.
