- Comment on Is it weird I don't typically answer how old I am anymore, because literally nobody besides my family believes me? 1 week ago:
I get told that whenever I run into people from high school, unless I’ve got my beard. My beard is gray enough to show my age.
- Comment on YouTube is getting rid of its Trending page and Trending Now list 2 weeks ago:
Just use RSS to follow specific channels.
- Comment on Holy sh*t: Jack Dorsey just Announced Bitchat(A secure, decentralized, peer-to-peer messaging app for iOS and macOS that works over Bluetooth mesh networks) Licensed Under Public Domain. 2 weeks ago:
That’s what my friends and family use!

You are more than welcome to cite the actual Geneva convention to show where I’m wrong.

Anyone see Chucky?
- Comment on What are your approaches to donating? 4 weeks ago:
My wife buys gift cards to restaurants with quality food (usually fast casual without table service) and hands them out to the homeless. We also donate razors, feminine products, etc. to a local house that gets supplies out to the homeless.
- Comment on Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weapon 4 weeks ago:
If that’s your metric, then I think Israel meets it. Iran has sponsored and directed non-state actors in Israel. These include both Hamas and Hezbollah. Additionally, Houthi militants have targeted Israeli civilian shipping.
- Comment on Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weapon 4 weeks ago:
An official declaration of war is not required. These nuclear scientists are not protected by the Geneva convention because Iranian nuclear infrastructure, including persons, are military targets. The purpose is to destroy Iran’s nuclear capacity and that’s a purposeful military objective.

Honestly, that’s what they need to hear. The woman in your example was an 18 year old adult and couldn’t handle basic chores. There’s no way she’s going to thrive if she needs to whine to ransoms online every time she’s gotta do something mildly unpleasant.
- Comment on Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weapon 4 weeks ago:
Civilian nuclear scientists working in enrichment are not protected by the Geneva convention. Technically it is legal to kill them when engaged in warfare.
- Comment on Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weapon 4 weeks ago:
Just to play devils advocate, what circumstances is it legitimate for Israel to attack Iran?
- Comment on 23andMe fined £2.31 million for failing to protect UK users’ genetic data 5 weeks ago:
Another line to be written off in bankruptcy?
- Comment on For All That Is Good About Humankind, Ban Smartphones 5 weeks ago:
Done. What’s next on my list?
- Comment on For All That Is Good About Humankind, Ban Smartphones 5 weeks ago:
Do it anyway. I use adb to modify my phone and make it suck less. I also look forward to the day (if it ever comes) where Linux phones are a viable replacement option.
- Comment on Is Google about to destroy the web? 5 weeks ago:
We have good options to replace Google Search. What good options exist to replace search on Google Maps?
- Comment on Cancers can be detected in bloodstream three years prior to diagnosis 5 weeks ago:
Can someone clarify which blood test was used? I want to get tested every two years.
- Comment on Twenty-seven states and DC sue 23andMe to oppose the sale of DNA data from its customers without their direct consent 1 month ago:
The sale is the entire company and assets to Regeneron Pharmaceuticals.
NPR reported in this issue:
Regeneron Pharmaceuticals said last month it aimed to buy the company for $256 million. Regeneron said it would comply with 23andMe’s privacy policies and applicable law. It said it would process all customer personal data in accordance with the consents, privacy policies and statements, terms of service, and notices currently in effect and have security controls in place designed to protect such data.
I don’t know much about Regeneron Pharmaceuticals but previously I read from others here that they represent the best case scenario.
- Comment on Month-long awareness celebrations 1 month ago:
June belongs to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Since Catholics live everywhere, I would say month long celebrations are everywhere.

- Comment on Geologists doubt Earth has the amount of copper needed to develop the entire world 1 month ago:
One of my family members had that job for a good while. What’s interesting is the phone companies did not keep great records of what’s copper and where it is, so a lot of it is likely to remain in place for a long time. Something else he has seen is thieves cutting fiber, thinking it is copper, and causing outages, although that is less frequent than it was years ago.
- Comment on Google is Using AI to Censor Independent Websites 1 month ago:
I seek out out-of-the-way websites maintained by one or two people and then subscribe by RSS. RSS may be the only thing left keeping the web sane.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
There are certain students the administration is likely going to want as international students. Israelis, white South Africans, and Hungarians, for example.
- Comment on Geologists doubt Earth has the amount of copper needed to develop the entire world 1 month ago:
I remember when phone lines were made of copper. We were sure that it would be impossible for everyone to have a phone.
- Comment on ‘Alexa, what do you know about us?’ What I discovered when I asked Amazon to tell me everything my family’s smart speaker had heard 1 month ago:
Your phone is doing it too. TV too, if you have one. Don’t forget about your doorbell!
- Comment on The technology to end traffic deaths exists. Why aren’t we using it? 1 month ago:
The last mile can be 25 mph. That alone will eliminate 99% of traffic deaths, especially if the roads are designed to make it uncomfortable to go above 25 mph.
- Comment on how did you and your partner change after having a baby? 1 month ago:
Latin Mass Catholic. So perhaps that makes more firm your impression of me. That said, I really don’t mind a sincere conversation, if you care to ask any questions.
- Comment on how did you and your partner change after having a baby? 1 month ago:
I might be insane. Do the insane know when they are insane? Either way, I am open to AMA style questions if you sincerely care to find out if your impression carries with me too.
- Comment on how did you and your partner change after having a baby? 1 month ago:
Actually, she’s cuter! 😉
- Comment on how did you and your partner change after having a baby? 1 month ago:
Having babies made my wife more affectionate and concerned about my own well-being. It was so great, we now have 11 children together. She’s a real blessing.
