Dog owner here. I don’t know if I buy the whole “don’t judge by breed” thing. Sure, training can become the dominant force, but dogs are literally wolves that were selectively bred based on temperament. And how would genes decide so much about a dog but not its temperament?
Anyway still sucks. I’d want to hang out with your dog. But I respect where people are coming from.

Could that be mostly alleviated by running it for half a minute before drinking?
Earwigs came out of mine once, so I always wait for those to stop coming out.

“Nuke the fridge” is up there with “Jump the shark”

Non-British here. There’s a telecom company that called itself “OFFcom”?

I’m only just learning about this, but don’t the encrypted DNS protocols solve the privacy problem?
Or do you mean more like not being able to trust a registrar or public DNS server?

Oh lol I thought you were the author of the survey.

I didn’t even know wifi 6 was a thing so I think I’m just behind on hardware :|
- Comment on The benchmark no one asked for: MacBook vs Legion Go vs Docker 4 weeks ago:
I love this future of gaming by streaming, but do you actually get good keyboard/mouse response over wifi? Or is the caveat it’s all wired?

Is using Docker Compose considered orchestration?
- Comment on And the pre-peeled containers for 4x the price are a ripoff 4 weeks ago:
Did…are you a bot? The last step in the video is literally putting the seeds in the bowl and scooping out flesh with a spoon. I guess this is “waterless” if the goal is not getting your hands wet with water (only pomegranate juice?)
Anyway, I will still try waterless if I happen to open up pomegranate and it’s magically of the quality and peelability in the video.

I’ll give this a try, but I know it won’t be compatible with wife.
- Comment on And the pre-peeled containers for 4x the price are a ripoff 4 weeks ago:
I mean I want there to be an easier way than “peel underwater” but every time I see a life hack that just rehashes that method, I’m glad to know I haven’t been wasting my time.
- Comment on Linkwarden v2.13 - open-source collaborative bookmark manager to collect, read, annotate, and fully preserve what matters (tons of new features!) 🚀 5 weeks ago:
I’ve been looking for a way to self host a bookmark manager so I can sync bookmarks (favorites / links) across all devices. Sounds like Linkwarden might be overkill for me, but can it do that if I’m ok with overkill?

Thank you for taking the time and effort to link the full video and also summarizing the relevant content for us!
I agree with you. I wouldn’t have leaned on the Old Testament either. I think most religious arguments are fairly logically consistent, it’s the whole “Should we have a static book of morals that we never modify?” question that we need to tackle.
I suppose if Kirk was saying that we don’t have to follow the customs of the authors, just the “God given” content, then one could retort that anti man-to-man passages are likely the customs of the time, not the word of God (though let’s be honest, pretty sure even Jesus would have been homophobic).
- Comment on Google just broke *all* third-party web clients, including yt-dlp; a full JS implementation is now required. 5 weeks ago:
Who’s “we” though?
I see the largest two camps here as (1) casuals that don’t have the know how to protest via alternatives and (2) the tech literate that are willing but ultimately limited by the larger forces at work.
I think it’s fair to blame the people with the power that exploited the first group and left the second without choice.

Haha I actually love having a blank Home (and especially blank Shorts) since as it has significantly moderated excessive YT use for me. I’m honestly surprised that was their course of action as it ultimately had reduced my use of the app.

What was the rebuttal?
- Comment on 1 month ago:
I keep thinking about this angle. Maybe it’s a case of a double standard being ok? Like if some group of people are like “Don’t worry about me, I don’t need any empathy” and others say, “I hope you will show me empathy” then I don’t see why a single standard has to be applied.
Not sure if you agree with this analogy but for example as a male, I don’t mind if a woman says something to me that might be considered intimidating if the roles were reversed. Sure, I need to be mindful of whether she might cause harm to someone who isn’t me, but again, I don’t need to apply a single universal approach to myself if I know in my heart it’s not necessary.
Anyway, maybe the stronger rebuttal is “That’s not what he meant”.

Yeah seriously with 100 psi it’s all zeros after the decimal. Look how precise you can get when you convert to bar.

You reminded me that some have a full bladed structure on wheels attached to that gear as a means of spinning the plate. Pulling this prank on one of those models would be even more diabolical.

Sweet recipe, I believe I’ve had it that way too. You have indeed stress tested asparagus.
- Comment on Aspergers officinalis 2 months ago:
I just need to know if you’ve given properly sautéed asparagus in olive oil and garlic a chance. If you’re basing this on mom’s boiled mush you need to give it a second chance.
Also I personally find it funny when I get to piss stinky piss. Like farts for my dick!

Fair point but they aren’t exactly hermetically sealed either. I’d expect a lower atmospheric pressure to impose a stronger gradient between skin and vessels. Like if you can get the bends from ascending from depth to quickly, shouldn’t something happen in this case too?
- Comment on HELP HIM. 2 months ago:
Yeah but can you give more details? Like what’s an example of something bad happening if it’s more than individual organs, like your entire body minus your head for example.

I’ve read it but I don’t remember enough detail to understand what you’re referring to.
- Comment on HELP HIM. 2 months ago:
Curious if you’re thinking of any cases where we’d need a safeguard for any parts of the body other than the brain? Like would a whole human minus the brain be OK?
I guess there’s the whole identity theft and impersonation side of things.
- Comment on Spotify fans threaten to return to piracy as music streamer introduces new face-scanning age checks in the UK 2 months ago:
I was impressed when iTunes added the option to get your album in .flac. And while I acknowledge there’s a lot of placebo effect with audiophillia, I still argue space is cheap and you never know how good your ears and sound system may get in the future.

I believe you so this is a genuine question: did you ever test your kbps threshold for being able to distinguish from lossless?
I remember in the MP3 and Winamp days, I was convinced I could detect anything below 192 kbps. Obviously depends on the content, and I’m implying 44 kHz minimum.
