- Comment on Why is land/sky so cleanly split between mammals/birds? 2 days ago:
That it was more of a direct path from say raptors to chickens, but I mentioned in another reply that I had forgotten about all the different dinosaur eras and the hundreds of millions of years between them all.
- Comment on Why is land/sky so cleanly split between mammals/birds? 2 days ago:
I guess I’m forgetting that there were several different dinosaur periods spanning hundreds of millions of years. My mind defaults to the jurassic period being the only one.
- Comment on Why is land/sky so cleanly split between mammals/birds? 2 days ago:
Most birds can fly because they are an offshoot of one group of dinosaurs (avian dinosaurs) that survived the last great extinction when their non-flying non-avian dinosaur relatives did not.
Is this accurate? I was always under the impression that birds evolved from “land dinosaurs”.

Yeah if you’ve bent/broken multiple nozzles, its definitely a user issue and even if you could build a new printer for $35, you’re going to experience the issue again if you haven’t bothered to learn why it happened.
- Comment on Is there anything I can do to decrease the gap in my blinds? 2 days ago:
Buy one more set of blinds 3" wide and hang it in between these two. Just ask for “mini blinds” at your local big box store and they’ll put you on the right track.

Didn’t know this was a feature so I just tried it and… my watch thinks my phone is “gym equipment” and asks for permission to send my heartrate to it. How do you setup charging?
- Comment on Proxmox 9 released 2 days ago:
You could just start over if you dont have much invested into your current setup.
- Comment on Proxmox 9 released 3 days ago:
I’d also like to know.
I built a new machine seceral months back with PVE and got the hang of it but it’s been “set it and forget it” since then due to everything running smoothly. Now I don’t remember half the things I learned and don’t want to get in over my head running into issues during a major upgrade. I definitely do want the ability to expand my ZFS pool so I will need to bite the bullet eventually.
- Comment on Florida sues some of the biggest porn platforms, accusing them of not complying with the state's age verification law 3 days ago:
Lmao I had to look up what that term even means and saw that it comes from 4chan, which just goes perfect with my impression of you from the rest of what you said earlier. You obviously don’t realize how much you’re giving away about yourself here with your language. You might as well have started this off by telling us you’re talking about “your friend.”
Hmm let’s see, a dude who hangs out at a site that’s world renowned for being the home of the sad, lonely, self-hating individual who’s here to give us his hot takes about “this generation” and all “their” preversions. Please regale us with more tales about the deepest thoughts and actions of people who are complete strangers to you. What kind of sick and twisted stuff are “they” watching right now?

In a state that recently tried removing a bunch of child labor laws.

There’s a whole lot of projection to unpack in this comment.
- Comment on GitHub CEO delivers stark message to developers: Embrace AI or get out. 3 days ago:
AI is not currently at the stage that CEO’s think it’s at. A few years down the road there’s going to be a hard crash, when the problems overthrow the benefits and they realize they are just throwing money away.
I think they’re aware which is why they’re posturing with BS statements such as his. They wouldn’t need to force it on people if it were actually as good as they want people to think it is. They want to cash in now because they know the house of cards will crumble sooner than later.

I was thinking he looks like John Tesh.
- Comment on Starting out with Selfhosting 4 days ago:
I’d spend more time considering whether you want a mini-PC or not because it’s going to make storage expensive or difficult as youll either need to fork over a ton of money for a NAS and a bunch of matched drives or use one of those janky external DAS/storage boxes that could lead to you losing your entire storage pool.
What would work best (IMO) is a smaller tower PC with multiple drive bays. You can put whatever hardware you want in it, have SATA ports, PCI-E slots, plenty of ports, etc and upgrade/expand things as needed. You can also use mismatched drives in a setup like this with something like SnapRAID meaning you can use the stuff you already have without spending a ton of money. The hardware doesn’t need to be too powerful for your requirements. A modern Intel CPU will handle transcoding with Jellyfin extremely well and you can also use this with Frigate for your security camera footage. A decent amount of RAM isn’t bad either.

I’m middle-aged and still a night owl just like when I was younger. I think this depends on the person.

hillary clinton is one of the most admired politicians and diplomats in the world
According to whom exactly?
- Comment on Every female Democrat presidential nominee has resulted in a Donald Trump presidency 5 days ago:
I think it’s misogynistic to claim that they couldn’t win just because they were women. You’re infantilizing them and making it all about their gender while ignoring the mountains of evidence showing that they both ran terrible campaigns.

The hyperbole is ridiculous here and it makes you sound like a psychopath.
- Comment on Tesla loses Autopilot wrongful death case in $329 million verdict 6 days ago:
Autopilot is ACC which is what the case was about here.
- Comment on Tesla loses Autopilot wrongful death case in $329 million verdict 1 week ago:
Not to defend Tesla here, but how does the technology become “good and well ready” for road testing if you’re not allowed to test it on the road? There are a million different driving environments in the US, so it’d be impossible to test all these scenarios without a real-world environment.

- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
I only open the windows when the temperature is at least several degrees lower outside than in and run the AC when it’s not during the summer. I’m really hoping you dont mean that you have windows cracked while running your heatpump.

I had a professor do this too but the book only cost like $5 so it seemed fine compared to the loose-leaf math book I had to buy for $300

Yeah but people in Finland are out raking forests all day to prevent wildfires which leaves very little time for mass shootings.
- Comment on Battlefield 6 Trailer Drops, Teasing Chaos And Massive Firepower – Everything Else You Need to Know! 2 weeks ago:
That was before I got into the games. I began playing when BC2 had been out for a while.
- Comment on Battlefield 6 Trailer Drops, Teasing Chaos And Massive Firepower – Everything Else You Need to Know! 2 weeks ago:
Seriously. The Battlefield series is by far my most played series of games with thousands of hours but BF5 really killed my interest and 2042 I purchased but only played like 20 minutes of. I find the Battle Royal stuff incredibly lame too. Part of this is just me aging out of the demographic I suppose, but this seems to be a common sentiment among the rest of the player base as well which is why 2042 flopped so hard.
I would love to go back to the mechanics that made Bad Company 2, BF3, and BF4 (despite their terrible buggyness for the first year or so) so wonderful. The kind of maps that you could play over and over and still have a great time (Operation Metro). Quit trying to copy the mechanics of other games because if I wanted to play like that, I would be playing those games instead.
This is probably all a moot point at this stage as I just find myself drawn to simple games on the Switch like Mario Kart, Kirby and Zelda, the Lego series, and barely ever touch any massive games like this outside of the Soulsborne games (currently gave up on Elden Ring but enjoying the Demons Souls remake)

I use a PEI sheet + hairspray for my smooth plate and just raw dog the textured plate. I find that prints don’t stick well enough on my smooth PEI (Bambu) without the hairspray to help.
