  Yeah I don’t know why it’s relevant in this picture but the giant liminal cube in the background really grabbed me, the more I look at it the more I want to give my soul to Zorg, destroyer of worlds.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I LOVE POTATO SALAD⁩ ⁨⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a fair point actually, I’m French and do also make potato salad without mayo when I make it from scratch. But here in NL they tend to have mayo-style sauce in them when you get them premade. And I’m still pretty sure you can get similar style ones in the pots from the supermarket in France, maybe also in Germany?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I LOVE POTATO SALAD⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  The mayo is what makes it a salad…

  Mein kartoffelsalat!!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Could I render the computer-generated graphics from Toy Story (1995) in real time using a single modern home computer?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Basically to sum it up:

  • Render the actual movie from original files, hard because of the inherent technical challenges

  • Recreate the movie, easy from a technical perspective for your machine to render, hard (potentially very hard) from an artistic and design perspective.

  That’s one hell of a lock on that luggage.

  Looks like it’s a bit nippy out there, brrrr.

  What you wanna do is it’s closer to 1 rat hair per pound too often, add some yourself so it keeps rising the 3/lb limit, otherwise next year they’ll change the quota!

  In this economy?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No Weirdos⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It looks more like it’s made from off the shelf parts, I think. Still had to design and assemble it though 👌

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A 'US-Made iPhone' Is Pure Fantasy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lmao the image of a coyote with a belt of iPhones around its belly and a laser mounted on a rotating turret on its back chasing the dot across the border is quite something.

  This is the kind of hard hitting investigative journalism I come to Lemmy for!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thank you Gary ❤️⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I like the mango/pineapple variants or even some of the red fruits ones (though I tend to find these too sweet). But I always have the sugar free versions and only when I’m taking long drives. Used to have red bulls before in these occasions so never really tried the regular monsters, switched when I randomly tried mango loco one time. Again though, definitely not an expert since I’ll have maybe 4 cans a year or something.

  Good point, pic of JK Rowling would fit there I’d say.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did ChatGPT come up with Trump’s tariff rate formula? AI chatbots ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Grok all return the same formula for reciprocal tariff calculations, several X users claim.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Am I still going crazy or what, trade deficit =/= tariffs right??

  Was also coming in to recommend mirrors edge, what a great game.

  I assume these are mostly just bad/impossible translation of finer nuances from the Japanese.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Today's Survey. One point for everything that you have NEVER DONE⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I score 0 but quite a few of these are more “because there was an old one there and I felt like trying it out” rather than because I needed to use them daily.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Today's Survey. One point for everything that you have NEVER DONE⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Folks literally still using cheques in France to this day!

  Wasn’t that the case for like, all landlines?..

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Today's Survey. One point for everything that you have NEVER DONE⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can technically count myself one point, but that’s only because we didn’t have blockbusters in France (but I did rent VHS from other places)…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am just silly⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It does look like it’s missing a layer at export or something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Marine Le Pen banned from running for French president after embezzling EU funds⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You talk like this is a tactic from her political opponents and whether it’s an efficient tactic or not, but it’s just the justice system following their procedure, that’s it. Whether it’ll help the far right or not is irrelevant.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ninja sword owners will be paid to surrender weapons before ban⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m all for friendly ribbing, just a bit tired of this particular one because I saw it used in unsavoury ways too many times. Just spreading a bit of awareness about it, I could tell you weren’t being mean or actually using this as a xenophobic argument, but others before you have.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ninja sword owners will be paid to surrender weapons before ban⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Playing devil’s advocate, chainsaws are used for cutting trees and other tasks, they are not inherently a weapon unlike a sword (these are similar arguments to the ones used about gun control). I do find it silly to ban weeb swords, but mostly because I don’t think they’re ever really used for crimes? Or did I miss some info about a wave of ninja murders in the UK?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ninja sword owners will be paid to surrender weapons before ban⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This “joke” has been co-opted by xenophobic conservative Americans so often that I really struggle to appreciate it, even when you use it rather innocently like here. I’m not even a Brit and have grown quite tired of it. It comes from the same bag as cheese eating surrender monkeys for the French.
