A great one at that
- Comment on Infinite Monkey Theorem 1 week ago:
Since monkeys tend to hit the same keys repeatedly, rather than trying them all out at random, I’d say your second order monkey business is actually more likely to succeed than the first set of monkeys ever typing out Shakespeare is.
- Comment on Facebook Pushes Its Llama 4 AI Model to the Right, Wants to Present “Both Sides” 1 week ago:
“we should hear both sides!” Is and always has been an argument from people who know they are wrong, who want to pollute the available information from the people who are right.
- Comment on Massive X data leak affects over 200 million users. 3 weeks ago:
Seems like a dedicated person might be able to prove that. Go through the available data and see what % of leaked accounts actually point to a real person, or even a unique person. If it’s mostly bots you’d see that pretty quick
- Comment on Rocky rock rocking 3 weeks ago:
This implies that you can both see where the electrons are and where they’re going. Obviously that’s impossible.
- Comment on Is Baldurs Gate 3's voice acting so great that it ruined other games for me? 3 weeks ago:
mass effect and the first few dragon age games had great acting, Kingdom come has great acting, most of the Sony exclusives have great acting, it’s out there. It’s just rare.

We produced everything to spec and on time, thanks.

Back when I was a fabricator I made some of the critical components used in Amazon stores. Amazon was incredibly particular about every little detail, even on parts that didn’t call for tight tolerancing in any conceivable way. They, on several occasions, sent us one bad set of prints after another. Which we could only discover after completing a run of parts. We’re talking 20-30 thousand units that ended up being scrapped because of their shitty prints. Millions of dollars set on fire, basically.
They became such a huge pain in the ass to work with we eliminated every single SKU they ordered from us.
- Comment on DNA testing firm 23andMe files for bankruptcy 4 weeks ago:
Right, but the data you get from that test is pretty broad. One test will create a background for an entire family. You only need to do one for one child. Or if both parents have one, or a sibling of both parents have done one, the children of that pair also no longer needs a test to see their background.

Sir I am at work.
So obviously I’ll take a nap
- Comment on Microsoft tells Windows 10 users to just trade in their PC for a newer one, because how hard can it be? 4 weeks ago:
I want you to know a few things. First, you saved me a Google, so I appreciate that. Second, I am working overtime to support a department that isn’t working at the moment, and so I have very little to do. (Long story) I was real excited to slap on my headphones and listen to an hour and a half long rant about fallout 3, only to discover that I left them at home. And so I am terribly disappointed.
- Comment on Plex is increasing Plex Pass prices and paywalling remote playback for personal media at $1.99/month or $19.99/year. 4 weeks ago:
Oh I’m sure, classic top gear is crazy accessible. There are multiple hours long compilations on YouTube of some of the best crazy shit they did. I just wanted to parrot Clarkson.

And on that terrible disappointment, back to piracy.
- Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April 4 weeks ago:
I have fewer issues with the jellyfin app on my TV than I do with literally any of the streaming apps on the same television. My only gripe with jellyfin is there’s no PS5 app.

- Comment on Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you 1 month ago:
Land is land. We don’t get any more. Some land is inherently more valuable than other. We should be disincentivizing ownership of land unless it’s being cultivated or contributing in some way.
By saying that farms don’t pay property tax, we’re creating an avenue for billionaires to create “farms” and skirt taxes.
Instead what we should be doing is guaranteeing that crops will sell. Pay the property tax, use the land, and if your harvest fails at market, then the government covers the gap. But not before. I’m even cool with the government buying the seed and feed. That’s all renewable and contributes to a bountiful harvest. Having taxes to pay on the value of the land encourages it’s use, and pushes the wealthy billionaires away from wanting to own it just cuz. They’ll naturally look for the least valuable land if they just want a big ass estate. Who cares if they build a mansion on a pile of worthless rock?
- Comment on Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you 1 month ago:
If you’re retired or disabled, you’re not working a farm.
If you are working a farm, then you should be paying taxes anyway.

You realize there are literally dozens of examples of dense urban environments flooded with small private businesses right?
- Comment on Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you 1 month ago:
If that was satire, it was incredibly well done. If it’s red sincere, it’s a great example of why property taxes should still apply at a certain point.
- Comment on Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you 1 month ago:
at the primary residence up to .25 acres. Anything more than that should be taxed as normal.
- Comment on The Volkswagen ID. EVERY1 is an affordable EV for the masses 1 month ago:
The car he’s reviewing does not exist. He has some technical specs and a few renders to review.
- Comment on Let me paint a picture 1 month ago:
I feel no regrets for anyone that takes a stall next to me and dares to stay on the phone.
They’re gonna know what you’re doing, and you’re going to know what I’m doing. Loudly.
- Comment on Billionaires shouldn't exist 1 month ago:
Could you imagine the talent pool the most profitable companies would have if all net profits over X billion dollars were automatically redistributed to it’s labor force? Suddenly the wealthiest middle class on earth would be in the US until then somehow clawed that money back.

Almost 30 million miles closer to us than the sun is.

What prevents a mind from being uploaded, and continuing to exist in meat space?
A clone is closer to giving birth than transporting yourself. Even if you only cloned your consciousness. That’s a new being, and no longer “you.”

Negative
I am a meat Popsicle
- Comment on Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?! 1 month ago:
In my experience, jellyfin seems to think everything is anime for some reason.
I’ve had to go in to every single TV series and manually enter Metadata.
Not a huge deal I only have a few series’ but man it’s weird.
- Comment on It would be Kool if the next Pope was a woman 1 month ago:
This is one of those fun harmless myths that I will nonetheless bust for you.
That’s a legend, there’s no evidence for it to be true, and the dates typically given for Pope Joan are already filled with popes we can prove did reign at that time, as coins bearing both the image of the pope and the emperor exist from those dates.
Also, the people who really hated the papacy never bring up Pope Joan as an issue.
Fun fact tho, typical tellings of the myth indicate that her lover insisted she dress as a man, so she did. So, make of that what you will.

Only when they have something to sell. That’s not as common as you’d think.
