  I’ve got 20/10 vision and the difference is so negligible as to not really matter after 1080. Especially because all the smoothing and image effects new TVs have are so horrendously bad that they make me feel sick.

  I still run an 8 year old LG TV that stopped getting updates 4 years ago and doesn’t even attempt to connect to the internet. It’s great because it just turns on and works.

  Managed a grocery store for years. 100% accurate except for beads the store defrosts (Canyon, Alvarado, etc).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Epstein puts my morality into perspective⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  They have no morals, which is why they can grab power so easily. They’re not playing by the rules. Thus to win consistently, you’d need to cheat as well.

  Then you’re left with two options. Cheat to win too, or rolling heads.

  Based on your response, I’m not sure you even read my questions.

  What do you mean, did the Biden admin target any particular shows or networks? Are you also aware the current admin is holding off Paramount’s merger to exert influence over their programming? IDK how free that feels. May not be directly breaking laws, but it’s absolutely a subversion of free speech.

  Just booted my R36S. 21 seconds to be on the title screen of a game, Gameboy is apx 4 seconds. I was just curious so I thought I’d share.

  Smart is a relative term lol.

  A stupid human is still smart when compared to a jellyfish. That said, anybody who comes away from interactions with LLM’s and thinks they’re smart is only slightly more intelligent than a jellyfish.

  I recently got a flash forge adventure 5m and was printing in 30 minutes with no prior experience. There’s definitely a learning curve but if you can get a paper printer working, you can do a 3d printer

  Jokes on you, I love my brainwash pod. I still take the train anywhere I can though, the Seattle light rail system is dope.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Americans Can’t Buy the World’s Best Electric Car⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed. I’m American and think American manufacturers make the ugliest and worst cars. Outside of the Corvette, which remains the best spots car in it’s price range.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Americans Can’t Buy the World’s Best Electric Car⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wish I could upvote twice. As far as I’m aware there’s about 5 American politicians who actually care about more than just lining their pockets.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Take a deep breath and think about it⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, always seemed so wrong that so many people just stagnate. Like they reach some imaginary milestone and just stop improving and float through life. There’s room to improve almost everything in life, why the heck would you settle?

  Agreed. This system of giving out money and getting what we paid for sold back to us is fucking dumb.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some people hate drinking water?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Get a filter for your tap water, then get the water cold. Both will reduce the flavor of the water, leaving you with crisp, neutral flavored water. If that doesn’t do it for you, look into an at home carbonation system, there’s guides for making your own if you don’t wanna do premade.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Outer Worlds 2 - Official Story Trailer | Xbox Games Showcase 2025⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup, this is why the $80 price tag doesn’t bother me. I’ve got a backlog of games I want to play that I probably already can’t finish in my lifetime. This will be $20 a year post release and in two years that $20 will get you all the dlc as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Outer Worlds 2 - Official Story Trailer | Xbox Games Showcase 2025⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Games at that time were cutting edge technology, distribution networks didn’t exist, physical units had to make it to stores, etc. The environment isn’t the same. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think $80 is terribly outrageous in our modern economy but at that price point it has better provide 60+ hours of entertainment. If outer worlds 2 is as good as #1 it’s worth $40 tops. I played that game end to end and can’t recall a single characters name.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple just proved AI "reasoning" models like Claude, DeepSeek-R1, and o3-mini don't actually reason at all.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The guy selling the car doesn’t tell you it runs like a horse, the guy selling you AI is telling you it has reasoning skills. AI absolutely has utility, the guys making it are saying it’s utility is nearly limitless because Tesla has demonstrated there’s no actual penalty for lying to investors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta shareholders overwhelmingly rejected a proposal to explore adding Bitcoin to the company's treasury, with less than 1% voting in favor of the measure⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I had an acquaintance ask me about my opinion on crypto a few years ago and I explained it only has the perceived value and is highly volatile as a result, and that all but a few coins were basically rug pulls waiting to happen. He was satisfied with that and moved on. About a year later crypto had roughly doubled in value and he gave me shit about bad advice (it was an opinion not investment advice) and proceeded to move $10k into some coin I’d never heard of. About a month later a mutual friend said the other guy had lost like $8k of his $10k investment. Next time I saw the acquaintance there was no mention of crypto.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Youtuber Geekerwan has find the motherboard of Switch 2 and after reverse-engineer it have simulate the performance on a similar PC⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  From what I’ve heard a lot of the same og programmers and animators from the game boy days are still in charge of making the games and they don’t want a large team. They also don’t want to have to work really hard or learn new skills, so basically all the work falls to inexperienced people being led by people with incredibly dated skills. Nintendo still rakes in tons of money so they don’t see the need to interject.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You never forget your first⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  At this point nearly any device with a screen can emulate SNES games and the consoles that came before it. I have a cheap Chinese retro game handheld from Ali Express and it’s honestly so refreshing to play games that aren’t begging me to spend extra money.

  Also, playing fan translations of games that weren’t released in the west like mother 3 and dragon quest monsters is so cool. 10 year old me would be so jealous.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨More Americans are financing groceries with buy now, pay later loans — and more are paying those bills late, survey says⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My experience is that there’s always a hidden surcharge with DD or Uber eats. Like fries are $3 if you call it in yourself, but are $3.30 or something in an app. A couple years ago I had a $10 off $40 coupon and dash pass from my credit card. Total after fees for pickup was like $55 and just calling it in myself was $45.

  Not saying it’s impossible to save using them, but good luck.

  Let’s clear it up though, it’s the guy who invented the cereal who was a nut. His brother was the one who was like “I’m gonna sell the flakes, not the dick snip bit.” They got into a huge battle when the quack doctor realized his brother was making more money selling the cereal than he was selling religious pseudoscience.

  My area introduced tiers for medical forgiveness based on household income, even if I made twice as much there’d still be some degree of assistance. May be worth looking into for your family.
