My banking apps, I don’t feel comfortable spending money when I can’t see my accounts in real time. Had a bad experience with BoA when I was younger.

Who counts the bean counters?

Lies, I count way more than 15 beans!

It can’t be any less scenic than the Four Seasons!
- Comment on A little memorial at the local dump 3 days ago:
LOL I thought OP was just calling their location a dump bc they’re having a charlie memorial. Nope, turns it it’s literally at the landfill. Now I can’t tell if this is a joke or not.
- Comment on A little memorial at the local dump 3 days ago:
That term isn’t really used anymore due to the stigma attached to it. Anti-social personality disorder is the term. It’s also clinically different from NPD.

Shit. I’m glad I’ve been babying my asus bw-16d1ht with libredrive mode enabled. You know, for backing up my home movies.

I’m surprised I’ve never seen a kid named Atreyu.
- Comment on "Rizz", "cooking" and "based" are going to be stereotypical old people words one day 6 days ago:
Either way is good IMO. Even if they just look at the pictures and imagine their own stories I have to believe that’s good for a developing mind.
- Comment on "Rizz", "cooking" and "based" are going to be stereotypical old people words one day 6 days ago:
One of these days I need to go and read through the Calvin and Hobbes collection I bought for my bookshelf when it was on a steep discount. I remember reading them all the time as a kid.
- Comment on There is no good reason why there is still homelessness and poverty 1 week ago:
The paper this article talks about was authored by an evolutionary biologist that wanted to talk about environmental science problems and social responsibility. Ignoring the concepts of personal property and ownership and stuff, think about this for a minute. 81% of Americans own a yard, but how many of them do you see growing crops in that space? How much more effectively COULD that land be utilized towards the common good if it were managed in some way? Or from the other side: the Alaskan government had to step in and put a halt on Bering Sea crab harvests for a few years because the numbers were critically low. Do you think all of the individual fishermen who are reliant on that income would have voluntarily stopped? Would they even have known the crab population was dwindling?

I’ll allow it, but only if we can somehow put the same flashing red banner on top of politicians in real life.
- Comment on Bye Intel, hi AMD! I’m done after 2 dead Intels 1 week ago:
I know this is sort of still doable with aliexpress kits, but I miss the days of being able to make “weird” builds. My first build was an Athlon XP-M 2500+. It was a mobile chip that was just a binned desktop chip. It used the same socket as desktop, had no IHS, and ran at a “lower voltage” thanks to the binning. Overclockers DREAM in back in like 2005.

There’s a reason they call it the tragedy of the commons.

Remember when search summaries were just extracts from the top result instead of LLM hallucinations? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 1 week ago:
Huh, I’ve been watching them since like 2016 or so and I seem to remember him hosting more frequently back in the day. Seems like now he does most of the main channel videos while everyone else handles Short Circuit and the like. My personal theory is that Linus is grooming Elijah to be his replacement. But we’ll see.
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 1 week ago:
He’s also put a lot of work into creating a team of hosts that are genuinely wonderful to watch. Riley, Jake, Sarah, James, and Elijah to name a few. Best thing he could do for his brand is step out of the limelight, focus on being “chief vision officer” and let his wonderful talent fully take over hosting.

Whoever is fixing your computer absolutely despises you if you’re a smoker. Tar gets everywhere.

A copyright strike is a little bit more serious than a content id match, fwiw.
- Comment on best episodes for people who've never seen star trek? 3 weeks ago:
strange new worlds has some legitimately good trek. i wish they’d experiment less given there are so few episodes per year but overall it’s excellent. you still get your adventure of the week while having a few loose continuing threads (and the major thread of Pike’s inevitable end. spoiler alert?)
- Comment on best episodes for people who've never seen star trek? 3 weeks ago:
This question comes up a lot, and I always respond with Carbon Creek. Is it the best Trek? Hell no. But what it is is a story that requires no knowledge of Trek. Anything relevant to a new viewer is brought up by Tucker or Archer at the dinner table. And it does introduce a new viewer to some key lore about the history of humanity relative to this wider universe, as well as what a wide reach the Vulkan’s had in developing the alpha and beta quadrants.
- Comment on Evolution: 🖕 3 weeks ago:
The thing is, for it to be an evolutionary advantage it can’t be common. That’s one theory behind why grandmas aren’t more common in species.
- Comment on Evolution: 🖕 3 weeks ago:
ADHD brains seem to approach problems in generally more innovative/non-traditional ways than neurotypicals. It can also foster intense motivation in people. Bill Gates, for example, has been open about his struggles with ADHD. Many scholars believe that Albert Einstein struggled with AuDHD (ADHD with autism, which wasn’t in the American DSM until fairly recently).

it encompasses a few genres of live action japanese tv/movies but i was thinking like power rangers/super sentai.

I’m supposed to be cleaning but now I’m laughing too hard imagining some “saturday morning cartoon” tokusatsu show about a squad of mecha-grandmas.

I think it’s less common in northern america than in other continents.
