The only time I’ve gone longer than two days was when I wasn’t seeing anybody and my good friends were out of town.
- Comment on Gen Z job crisis: Maybe there are just too many college graduates now 1 week ago:
They sell a powder for moss and algae. You just spread along the peaks of your roof prior to some rain and the rain will carry it into the growth. You can use a push broom pushing with the shingles for stubborn clumps. Using a pressure washer directly on your roof can cause issues, but if you’re intending to just use the pressure to shoot a liquid solution on from the ground it shouldn’t damage it, just wear a mask.
- Comment on bmw 5 weeks ago:
Because BMW signals are different. Tiny tap gets you three blinks and goes off (more standard now). Pushing a direction turns them on, and unlike other cars you push the same direction again to disengage. This way you never accidentally push too far and do the opposite signal.
I definitely prefer the BMW signal to any other vehicles I’ve driven, but as a BMW driver I’ve learned that when you signal people will aggressively close gaps. I still signal but take the space almost instantly because I know 90% of drivers will try to block me out.
- Comment on 95% of Companies See ‘Zero Return’ on $30 Billion Generative AI Spend, MIT Report Finds 1 month ago:
More like most CEOs are fucking dumb. They attach to whatever the tech buzzword is. So AI being a buzzword drew them in, then the AI uses other buzzwords? It’s like a moth to the flame.

I hardly post on any social media besides here and I still feel violated.
- Comment on Report: Microsoft's latest Windows 11 24H2 update breaks SSDs/HDDs, may corrupt your data 1 month ago:
As someone who’s played a few LLM translated games, it is in fact not good at it. There’s a lot of contextual hints that get lost and slang terms tend to confuse it. It does make it close enough where a human that doesn’t speak/read the original language could easily finish the translation though or still make it through the game.
- Comment on Forget Netflix, Volkswagen locks horsepower behind paid subscription 1 month ago:
I hate it so much. It’s absolutely crazy how companies can be so anti consumer and get away with it because they market it well. Still can’t have a decent group chat if someone’s on an Apple device. That new car tracks you and sells the info, now you need to pay to unlock it’s full potential. The new os is always online and shares your info non-stop, it’ll continue to push it’s privacy invading AI until you give up. You don’t actually own that game you bought, it’s a license and we can revoke it because fuck you.
I’m so fucking tired of being the weirdo because I stand by my morals and won’t let them get away with fucking me over.
- Comment on Meet the AI vegans: They are choosing to abstain from using artificial intelligence for environmental, ethical and personal reasons. Maybe they have a point 1 month ago:
Don’t misunderstand, LLM’s are fantastic for certain applications and it makes sense to use them. But seriously GTFO my email and search results. Generated speech? Ew. Generated videos? Nah. Ordering for me at a restaurant? Just kill me.

Yup, satire is lost on the dumb and LLMs have no intelligence.
- Comment on Meet the AI vegans: They are choosing to abstain from using artificial intelligence for environmental, ethical and personal reasons. Maybe they have a point 1 month ago:
Yup, these things are still garbage for >90% of all applications people are jamming them into. Breathed a sigh of relief when my company CEO said he doesn’t see us using AI for more than can center routing for at least the next several years.
- Comment on Should I unplug my smart tv from the internet? 1 month ago:
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 2 months 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.
- Comment on US condemns French inquiry into Elon Musk's social media platform X/Twitter. 2 months ago:
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.

- Comment on Vibe coding service Replit deleted production database 2 months ago:
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.
- Comment on Hot take: 3D printing toys kinda sucks 2 months ago:
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 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months 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.

I’ve never worked for a company where the CEO was a value add.
- Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water? 3 months 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 3 months 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 3 months 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. 3 months 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.
