True, you make a good point.
I did know I was referring to an apocalyptic scenario rather than an emergency one. The giveaway was that I was replying to this comment:
Yeah… if I am trying to reach people tens of miles away during The Apocalypse, I am already dead.

Say what you will about Microslop, that controller was/is a pretty amazing thing.

What about after surviving the initial disaster? During the rebuilding?
Long-distance radios are useful as hell in stuff like The Last of Us.
- Comment on X’s deepfake porn feature clearly violates app store guidelines. Why won’t Apple and Google pull it? 4 days ago:
Nah. He can’t buy Apple (market cap $3.8T), or Google ($3.96T). He’s not a trillionaire yet.

Dulce de leche (which is essentially caramel made from milk).
So tres leches cake has whipping cream, condensed milk, and evaporated milk. Cuatro leches cake adds dulce de leche.
- Comment on Is there a science educator who shows in a video how they hand wash dishes? 1 week ago:
Not sure about hand washing. But if you want to save water, and have access to a dishwasher, oh boy can I help. Just search “Technology Connections dishwasher” and get ready to learn!
- Comment on NVIDIA To Bring Back The GeForce RTX 3060 In Q1 2026 To Tackle Current-Gen GPU & Memory Shortages 1 week ago:
They really should anyway. The Switch showed almost a decade ago how popular the handheld form factor can be when powerful enough, and the Steam Deck has capitalized on that beautifully. At this point a significant component in my purchasing of games is looking for that “Steam Deck Verified.”
- Comment on Just couples things 1 week ago:
I actually did this once. My wife asked me to check our car do a hair tie for her friend. We did not have one.
So I ordered like, 200 hair ties for a pittance and put 100 in our car, and gave her friend the other 100 and said, “Put these in your car.”

Yeah. I heavily regret buying my 4070 Ti Super last year. Wish I’d just gone full AMD.
I mean, it’s a great card. I just spent more money on it than I needed to, and also supported nvidia.
- Comment on Is ice heavier than water? 1 week ago:
They aren’t wrong. You’re keeping the mass constant, they’re keeping the volume constant.
I think the confusion might come from their phrasing: “the same volume of ice as water,” which could mean “the same volume of ice as the volume of water” (which is what they meant), but could also be interpreted as “the same volume of ice in the form of water.” The latter interpretation doesn’t fit the rest of their sentence though, so we can safely assume they meant the former.
- Comment on Steam Link for Non-Steam games on Wayland? (Linux) 1 week ago:
Oh I’m still a Windows user, haven’t yet migrated over (though I do have a Nobara install I’ve played with a bit, I haven’t tried to get Apollo working on it). I stream 2560x1440 and just ignore the black bars, but I could request 2560x1600 and I think it would work just fine (I prefer the higher resolution for higher quality, rather than the native 1280x800, though I can confirm that requesting 1280x800 works when my bandwidth is limited).
That setting is handled within Moonlight, and Apollo respects that setting by default, so Apollo presents itself as a virtual display with the resolution requested by Moonlight. At least that’s my understanding.
- Comment on Steam Link for Non-Steam games on Wayland? (Linux) 1 week ago:
Turns out the major difference is the thing I use most: virtual display in headless mode.
When I connect as a virtual display, I have Apollo set to treat the new virtual display (whose resolution is set by Moonlight’s settings, so I can control it on the client end). Headless mode means all apps open in the virtual display, so I never need to go to the PC itself. And finally, in the advanced settings I have it set up so the virtual display is treated as the only display, so existing applications move to the virtual display (in case I already had Steam or Battle.net or whatever open).

Try Apollo in place of Sunshine, it was recommended to me as having more options. (I don’t actually know though, I never used Sunshine.)
- Comment on Today in “Google Broke Email” 2 weeks ago:
I have a personal domain I use for email, with an address set up as firstname@lastname.family
Most people understand this just fine, but sometimes forms don’t work with .family as a TLD. EVERY NOW AND THEN, though, someone cannot comprehend an email address that doesn’t end in Gmail.com.
When I arrived to have some work done on my car recently the person on the phone had recorded my email as: firstnameatlastname.family@gmail.com. Like, the actual word “at” was in there. I had never said anything about Gmail. And when I corrected it after arriving at the shop, their form had no issue with the .family TLD.
I think some people genuinely don’t understand that Gmail and email aren’t synonymous.

Bahahaha!

People can put whatever they want on their pizza and pineapple adds a delightful sweetness which can be appropriate in the right context. It doesn’t belong on every pizza, but it’s fine to have on some pizzas.
I will die on this hill.

Man those potato cakes though. Dummy thicc hash browns any time of day? Yes please.

I can understand this hesitation, but I don’t expect that from Larian, they’ve delivered in the past and I suspect they’ll deliver again.
(So had CD Projekt Red of course, but Cyberpunk’s launch issues were largely stability/performance related, IIRC. Whereas Hello Games over-promised and under-delivered core features on No Man’s Sky.)
- Comment on Why does every commercial depiction of honey involve one of this things? Literally nobody has ever seen one of these in real life 4 weeks ago:
No, it sounds like the proper tool for your use case is a spoon or squeeze bottle.
- Comment on Why does every commercial depiction of honey involve one of this things? Literally nobody has ever seen one of these in real life 4 weeks ago:
Sure, and that general purpose tool works fine. This is just the tool specifically designed for honey. It’s not necessary, just useful.
- Comment on Why does every commercial depiction of honey involve one of this things? Literally nobody has ever seen one of these in real life 4 weeks ago:
You keep slowly rotating it as you move it from the honey to whatever you’re going to put the honey in so the viscous liquid essentially “orbits” this thing instead of dripping onto your countertop. Then when over the target you stop rotating and let it pour off.

You’re probably right, I just wanted to be J Jonah Jameson.
- Comment on Venezuela Condemns US 'Piracy' as Trump White House Signals It Will Seize More Oil Vessels 4 weeks ago:
I resent that!
When state-sponsored it’s “privateering.” Piracy is stateless.

Which was wonderful, and a breath of fresh air. But Rothfuss’s prose is what makes his books as good as they are, in my opinion.
