“Hey, wait…that’s not…!”
- Comment on I read every day but rarely have my e-reader on me — so I built a self-hosted EPUB library that syncs my reading position between my Kobo and my phone 3 days ago:
I prefer trade paperbacks over the initial first-run hardcovers because they are easier to carry around. I will carry around a big old heavy hardcover if there is no paperback though. The only drawback with this is, sometimes there is not enough light to read, and the book machines provide that.

- Comment on Pluto is still a planet, just a dwarf one 6 days ago:
Well, that explains everything. Thanks.
- Comment on What's your contingency plan for the apocalypse? 1 week ago:
I hope to avoid the apocalypse, Armageddon and black Friday but I know I must eventually succumb to time.
- Comment on "We made a series of mistakes": GOG apologise for emailing Nazi symbols to people in newsletter about Slavic fantasy game 1 week ago:
GOG is gonna lose MAGOG if they keep going on like this. /s
- Comment on Pluto is still a planet, just a dwarf one 1 week ago:
What about in the old myths where Pluto, Neptune, Mars were used as god’s names? Weren’t they referring to the planets back then?
- Comment on Anyone have one or two anime that they watched and were surprised it wasn’t more popular? 1 week ago:

Economically, that was a brilliant move! /s
- Comment on Strava just killed its free API, will require a subscription if you want to build on top of it 1 week ago:
Whether it’s a back-alley transaction or a multinational corporation transaction “the first one is free” is a marketing tactic that seems to work time and time again.
- Comment on New York's 3D printer law is NOT gun control; it's just.... control. 1 week ago:
In Canada you can buy beer or make your own beer. Should that logic be extended to guns?
- Comment on The way "self-checkout" has been pushed on us is nothing short of injustice 3 weeks ago:
I’ve waited in register lines while people hurry through the self-checkout like lightening. I refuse to self-checkout unless there is an automatic 10% discount. My labour means something.

To each their own. Some folk prefer a bit of banter and the human touch.
- Comment on Toilets: to caulk or not to caulk? 1 month ago:
Keep it simple and let the wax ring do it’s job. If the wax ring is not doing it’s job, you want to know.
- Comment on UK wind farms generate a record 22.7 GW of power on a single day 6 months ago:
Why is it that alternate energies or alternate foods always cost exactly what the former energies or food costs, for the citizens? Is “cheaper alternative” a never-ending scam?
- Comment on Scientists have been studying remote work for four years and have reached a very clear conclusion: “Working from home makes us thrive” 7 months ago:
I didn’t think it was easy and there are always naysayers, no matter what.
- Comment on Scientists have been studying remote work for four years and have reached a very clear conclusion: “Working from home makes us thrive” 7 months ago:
Well, I don’t need saving, but others do. There is no such thing as a superhero but I agree…there is lots of bureaucracy and administration! Going through proper channels while the world burns is not something I put a whole lot of faith in when the first knee-jerk response to anything is the economic cost. Sometimes the people have to get involved, not the systems (which are decidedly lacking nowadays).
- Comment on Scientists have been studying remote work for four years and have reached a very clear conclusion: “Working from home makes us thrive” 7 months ago:
Having a purpose makes us thrive. In some cases, it could be work.

Now we need a genius architect to covert all of that office space into homes for the homeless. That includes changing any laws that would prevent that from happening.
