I’m in Aus and Ben and jerries is not soft, unless it’s the whipped ice cream which is super soft. The normal flavours bend my non-preffered spoons as much as golden north does.

- Comment on Do you use your blinker in a car? 5 weeks ago:
If I’m in a traffic area or pulling into a traffic area, always. I indicate out of my driveway because I’m going on to a road and there’s 2 directions I could go.

6, 7 if Bluetooth speaker outside doesn’t count as boombox, because my speaker is a box and it booms, but it’s not called that.

It takes me 10 seconds to remove internet access from yet another windows process, it takes weeks if not months to re-download the 2 point something TB of games I have installed.
People who have a real internet connection need another excuse but my internet isnt good for 2005, let alone 2025.

For the ryzen 7 9700x I have the answer. Ryzen is the brand name, 7 is where it stacks up, the 7 in the 9700 says where it lines up vs other ryzen 7s in the 9000 series.
USB can suck a fat one.
The pro title is like the ‘performance’ version of cars. Sometimes it matters and there’s a lot of difference, Hyundai N is not the same as normal Hyundai. Sometimes it’s just a slight aesthetic difference. The title is to sell it not to be clear and accurate, normally. Some pro phones are definitely higher performing, others are almost identical.
I have no answers for Sony, outside of my area of knowledge, same for monitors.

- Comment on ‘The tyranny of apps’: those without smartphones are unfairly penalised, say campaigners 2 months ago:
I use an app for OTR (petrol chain in Aus) and they’ve removed the requirement for location which is… Unexpected, to say the least. Anything except using the pumps on the app no longer needs it when all orders previously needed it.

The top link of the search was a bulbapedia list of every Pokemon ordered by weight. It’s not like it couldn’t have gotten it. It’s a static list, the old answers won’t change.

It has an answer that isn’t up for debate. It’s celesteela and cosmoem. Both of them. They weigh the same.
Saying one weighs more is just wrong.
- Comment on Microsoft Study Finds Relying on AI Kills Your Critical Thinking Skills 2 months ago:
It’s still wrong and it even has the information in its own chat to know it is wrong. It’s literally contradicting itself.
