- Comment on “I am still alive”: Users say T-Mobile must pay for killing “lifetime” price lock 3 weeks ago:
I bought my dad’s 2014 MKZ off him 4 years ago. They stopped producing GPS updates several years before I bought it off him. According to the device, there are times it thinks I’m driving through farmland when I’m at a Target parking lot.
- Comment on Why did it take so damn long for humanity to "learn" how to draw/paint realistic images? 3 weeks ago:
Also the time needed to perfect that skill wouldn’t have been available that far back. If you’re needing to spend the bulk of your time hunting/gathering food and other forms of basic survival I don’t think you’d have the hours every evening to work on your shading techniques.

- Comment on Google looks to be fully shutting down unsupported extensions and ad blockers in Chrome, such as uBlock Origin – which might push some folks to switch to Firefox 1 month ago:
I’ve been using librewolf for a several months. Be careful because streaming doesn’t always work on it due to DRM features, and YouTube has been spotty AF. With YouTube it might start the video a couple seconds into it, buffer for no discernable reason, or just skip a few random seconds.
- Comment on New Email Scam Includes Pictures of Your House. Don’t Fall For It. 1 month ago:
I got one a couple years ago that included an old password I had used to use. It was sent to my work email but because it had that info in it I did legit get scared…until it said it recorded me jerking it over my webcam. I don’t have a webcam.
- Comment on Smart TVs take snapshots of what you watch multiple times per second 1 month ago:
You should look into PiHole, if you’re half-savvy with computers. They should be able to block all the destinations smart TVs are trying to connect to
- Comment on How come LED Light Bulbs only last for about 2-3 Years? 1 month ago:
What lasted forever for me…CFLs. downside is they just don’t seem to put out as much light. But I had some in my house 10+ years old. They lasted so long that when one finally burned out and I didn’t have a replacement of the intensity…I was pissed to learn they don’t even make them anymore. I’m not a fan of LEDs because some of the cheaper ones are like mini strobe lights and really big my eyes. I had to go through like $60 work of LEDs to find a set I actually liked

I really wish CBS hadn’t sent a cease and decist to that one YouTube channel who was building an entire Ent-D in Unreal. It showed all of Main Shuttle Bay through corridors, a couple lounges including 2-Forward all the way up to the bridge.
- Comment on Worst examples of Treknobabble 2 months ago:
It’s not so much technobabble, but from mid-TNG on through DS9 and VOY it seemed that, at least once per episode, “Some kind of…” was used to describe anything new.
- Comment on Worst examples of Treknobabble 2 months ago:
What blew my mind about that whole intro is they hid the entire ship UNDERWATER AT THE SHORELINE with a severe risk of damage to the local terrain and sea life instead of, you know, being in orbit.
- Comment on Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election? 2 months ago:
2 of my cousins (brother and sister) are 2 very opposite people. The older brother has been a career fuck-up since grade school; always getting in trouble, failing, not caring, running with the wrong crowds, knocked up a girl when they were 16, got kicked out of 1 school and barely graduated. He’s never held a job more than 6 months, if that, each job is minimum wage with minimal skills, been kicked out of the house a few times, has a sordid legal history, dated some questionable women, and eventually got into a relationship with a single mom of 3 kids who inherited 6-figures when her dad died and dude thought he was on easy street from that point forward…until 6 months later when he blew threw half the money and she kicked him out to where he’s now crashing in a camper working a lawn job.
His sister, honor student in HS, went to college, got a degree but had difficulty finding a job in graphic design that wasn’t freelance. Seeing the 27 2nd chances her enabler-parents afforded her brother…she stopped caring and moved back in with the parents bouncing from middling job to middling job. He’s in his mid-30s and she’s in her upper 20’s

- Comment on Research shows more than 80% of AI projects fail, wasting billions of dollars in capital and resources: Report 2 months ago:
As I said in a project call where someone was pumping up AI, this is just the latest bubble ready to pop. Everyone is dumping $$ into AI, a couple decent ones will survive but the bulk is either barely functional or just vaporware.

- Comment on Elon Musk wants to implant millions of people with Neuralink brain chips 2 months ago:
I have a couple former coworker friends who slob this dude’s knob all the time. One of em is staunch anti-govt (but loves his orange dictator obviously) and refuses flu shots from work every year because according to his this year is the year they start micro-chipping people.
Both of em would be the first in line for musk’s chip

- Comment on Never store gerbils up your ass, we went over this! 2 months ago:
One time my cousin Walter got this car stuck in his ass, true story. He bought it at our local mall so the whole fiasco wound up on the news. It was embarrassing for my relatives and all, but the next week he did it again! Different cat, same results complete with another trip to the emergency room. So I run into him a week later at the mall and he’s buying another cat and I says to him Jesus Walt what are you doing? You know you’re just gonna get this cat stuck in your ass too, why don’t you knock it off! And he says to me “Thebeardedsinglemalt, how the hell else am I supposed to get the gerbil out?”
- Comment on Where Are You Supposed To Buy Pajama Shirts? 2 months ago:
Most of my sleep shorts/pants just come from whatever section is on sale at kohls, target, belk, etc. the softer the cotton the better. I don’t have any dedicated sleep shirts, most of the time they’re the T-shirt I wore that day, or just some older larger shirts.
- Comment on Where Are You Supposed To Buy Pajama Shirts? 2 months ago:
Yeah, as much as I love poly dry fit stuff during the day it all rides up so easily at night and I end up feeling constrained
- Comment on is there a trustworthy SMS MMS app for Android that's not Google? 2 months ago:
I used Textra for years across maybe 4 phones. The customization is great, but it started randomly dropping ringtones on my Pixel 7 Pro…it’s the P7P that sucks ass, not Textra.
I eventually quit Textra because it doesn’t support RCS

And anyone who followed things around then, is was actually the cheeto that had an impact on those gas prices than Biden did…when he threatened to withhold aid to certain countries if they’d cut back on production IIRC.
But then again those morons think the president wakes up in the morning and sets national gas prices so facts don’t mean anything to them
