So you’re saying we have an evolutionary example of “eat the rich”? I say we get started - the ants gave us a blueprint.

0% of the time it works because I shut that shit off the first minute I saw it

It still didn’t result in a conviction and removal from office

No confidence votes are a referendum that forces a new vote. Impeachment is done by representatives and kicks off a process that gets blocked by the senate and results in no change, ever.

Now is probably not the best time to sell my xbox… I bet the market is flooding

I have it on good authority that if you go blow your bros that you’ll start to care about balls

Maybe they just don’t have AI commenting like reddit does?

I’m a MAN. I’m a MAN who likes to watch MEN play with OTHER MEN. I especially like it when those MEN TOUCH EACH OTHER. It makes me cheer! Sometimes they have to RAM THEIR HOT SWEATY BODIES INTO ONE ANOTHER. Yeah I love that!
- Comment on Goodwill Isn’t a Platform (thoughts on the Digg beta) 2 weeks ago:
I checked it out. It’s not a ghost town, but I feel like there is less activity than on federated platforms. It doesnt have the critical number of people talking about stuff to be interesting and actually result in dialog.

That thing is special.

Oh. If that’s really the case then it is much less exciting. That almost sounds like some kind of boring fine arts thesis.

Does it have an actual game embedded in it somehow? Like you solve a puzzle or something that is hidden in clues within the shows?
- Comment on Is there a drink with taste of energy drink without caffeine? 2 weeks ago:
It’s a distinctively unnatural taste that makes me think of the inside of chemistry glassware.

I don’t believe them when they say the casings have engravings. I just don’t. “He wrote an entire manifesto on the casing! It spells out his entire political philosophy! Isn’t that convenient?!” -liars who think we believe them
- Comment on Building a removable kiln vent outlet 2 weeks ago:
A kiln is not a high efficiency appliance - the effluent gasses will be extremely hot. You need double walled vent (or stove) pipe and the appropriate fittings.
Honestly, this is not something to install in your domicile by yourself without the appropriate expertise. You need to hire an HVAC professional.

This is cool. It needs a lot of polish though. I hope it does well.

XBox then buys indies and shutters their studios. Whoopsie.
- Comment on Verified Steam game steals streamer's cancer treatment donations 3 weeks ago:
I only game on my steamdeck now. And it has practically zero security on it. Admin has no password. When I realized that I then came to the conclusion that Steam doesn’t give a fuck about security.
I tried setting an admin password on it and it broke everything. So it’s in a penalty box on my network and can’t access anything except the outside internet and I do nothing with it but game.

Collecting something can be a fun hobby. Buying collectibles is something a fucking idiot does.
- Comment on Samsung brings ads to US fridges 3 weeks ago:
Being pedantic is totally OK here - we’re talking about SSL’s spoof protection. I’ll have to look up how any rando can host a DNS that supports DNS/HTTPS when a system would be expecting a valid SSL cert that declares who it was issued to and by whom and the requester is expecting a particular whom.
- Comment on Samsung brings ads to US fridges 3 weeks ago:
Wow really? I was under the impression that the SSL part would prevent the pihole from being able to spoof itself as a legitimate DNS
- Comment on Samsung brings ads to US fridges 3 weeks ago:
Pihole’s act as a DNS or “Dynamic Name Server”. All internet traffic is IP based once it leaves your home because routers dont know how to forward traffic for “samsung-ad-hell.com”, so there is a dedicated kind of packet for “Where is samsung-ad-hell.com located?” and that is a DNS Lookup. The Pihole pretends to know because it maintains a list of bad urls that host websites that only support privacy exploitation and advertisements and tells them “oh you want to go to 0.0.0.0, that’s where you’ll find your stuff” as it snickers.
But DNS Lookups were always plain text. When your laptop says "Where is big-booties.com" your ISP knows you want porn. Now there is a new variant called “Secure DNS Lookup” which encrypts the url you’re asking about. The ISP knows you’re asking for a domain’s IP, but it can’t know which one and it no longer cares. Neat.
The trouble is that the Pi-Hole can no longer protect us from all the stupid fucking smart devices that want to earn a fraction of a penny per device by spying on us because THEY use the new Secure DNS Lookup.
- Comment on Samsung brings ads to US fridges 3 weeks ago:
I wonder how much longer that will work. DNS over HTTPS is now a thing and totally defeats the mechanism of a pihole.
- Comment on Samsung brings ads to US fridges 3 weeks ago:
I heard those linear compressors could be the best in the industry but they tended to fail. Did they finally fix that?
- Comment on Samsung brings ads to US fridges 3 weeks ago:
Whenever appliances get brought up I always warn people to stay away from Samsung.
- Comment on Broken stair step 3 weeks ago:
Those stairs have a bullnose that juts out and the whole thing is made from mortar. Mortar is very strong in compression but weak in tension. So a load on the tip of the stairs will put a large tension load on the top of that bullnose where it meets the stair corner. At some point it will break off.
- Comment on 5 Signs the AI Bubble is About to Burst 3 weeks ago:
Even 0.01% of a businesses shares in volume in the span of a 1 minute order is enough to massively swing the price. I saw it multiple times in after hours trading when I let my options ride for the day.
- Comment on Peter Thiel Antichrist lecture: We asked guests what the hell it is 3 weeks ago:
People didn’t listen to Einstein because he had money - he didn’t. He just had good ideas. People didn’t listen to Curie (at all). People only listen to Theil because he has enough money to be scary. They obviously think his ideas are fart sniffing.
