Not the person you’re asking, but I mostly watch craft stuff, particularly 1:12 scale dollhouse miniatures and sewing. The most recent video I could find that was even remotely relevant is several months old and about a different kind of miniature.

Ah, looking at your comment history, you just look for reasons to argue. Not my scene, have a good day.

You were deffo rude first, sorry.
- Comment on The Amount of Electricity Generated From Solar Is Suddenly Unbelievable 1 day ago:
Yeah, my partner works for an electronics manufacturing firm that mostly makes infrastructure-level power conditioning and batteries. Solar and other renewable has had such a strong boost that they’re still projecting gains, despite the US government’s bullshit on ‘green energy’ lately.
I keep telling him to ask if they do employee discounts, but they don’t sell to residential at all :(

That is a good question. Why are you being rude to randoms?
- Comment on Using Clouds for too long might have made you incompetent 3 days ago:
Maybe, but that doesn’t quite track with what I experienced. It was for a fairly well known company that builds industrial tools and machines, and I interviewed at their HQ, so I don’t think it was an agency building a pool.
The screening part sounds right, but I think these guys were doing it in-house.

I’m here from /all so I can confirm this is happening in non-tech too. Not too long ago, I interviewed to be a product photographer for an industrial manufacturer, and the people who were interviewing me knew nothing about the job I was interviewing for.
They couldn’t tell me what camera they used in house, they couldn’t tell me what editing software they used, they couldn’t tell me about the lights, they couldn’t tell me anything. It’s like if the interviewers said you’d use ‘computers’ but couldn’t tell you which OS they were running.

Bush beans are a thing? Soybeans don’t climb either, and it’s the most common bean grown in the US.

Rural west coast. It is more expensive here than the midwest states, but the state insurance is fantastic, so the access to medical care is worth it.

I’m currently living in a slightly smaller house that’s valued at 250k. The roof leaks and the porch is falling apart, but the town has doubled in size since COVID, and so has the cost of housing.

It kept crashing to desktop for me. Literally unplayable.

The only Ubisoft game I tried was Assassin’s Creed Black Flag, and it was the buggiest piece of shit I have ever encountered.

To be fair, air mattresses are like shittier futons and don’t get moldy because you’re always moving them around.

My local grocery lets me skip the step of buying them and taking them home, because they’re already moldy on the shelf.

Nobody deserves this kind of pain
- Comment on Men are opening up about mental health to AI instead of humans 2 weeks ago:
Tbh, yeah. I’m a woman with an inoperable brain tumor, and I can completely understand why people would be reluctant to accept “nothing to be done” as a real answer.
If I thought I deserved to live, I’d probably talk to a LLM about it because it drags everybody down, and my therapist only sees me once a week. Though, I’ve heard its good for helping people not live, so maybe its worth a shot after all.

Whaat, my library barely has computers.
- Comment on The Harbinger of the Dystopia 2 weeks ago:
Libraries don’t have playgrounds, and don’t allow food, drink, or birthday parties with friends.
- Comment on The Harbinger of the Dystopia 2 weeks ago:
When I talk about how much I miss the 90s McDonalds, I’m mostly complaining about the loss of a third space. My parents would go to McDonalds so we had a safe, climate-controlled, indoor play space, and we could spend hours there for the price of something off the dollar menu.
I don’t know of anywhere comparable these days. Anything indoors is going to be expensive, you have to get the city to unlock the local hoops, the cops start asking questions if you just want to hang out with friends, and if you have too many friends they make you get a permit to use the public park.

I don’t know if I’m sad for them, not getting the joke; or sad for me, for being here so much that I get the joke.

Both actual moths. The black and white one is Haploa clymene, and the colorful one is Dryocampa rubicunda.

I just don’t know how they’re getting away with calling it ‘full self driving’ if it’s not fully self driving.

On the other hand, I really do wonder how many of those 300m views were also not human views.
