It’s slowly starting to become a lost art though, there’s definitely more and more automatics around, starting with all electric cars.

So fucking cool.
- Comment on 2025 USA 1 week ago:
I’m gonna assume it’s from the specific scenario described. After all, who would go on the internet and tell lies?
- Comment on Phones may come without bundled USB cables in the future, if OEMs have their way 3 weeks ago:
BTW you can get Garmin to USB-C little adapters, they come in quite handy.

I fucking love camping but had to glamp it up for it to pass the WAF… We have a blast when we do it but it’s only a couple times a year.

The lesser known, higher educated cousin of the Highlander premise.

Maybe lay off the carnival powder for a bit eh.

With a nice rug, some candles and some decorations you can make it work.
- Comment on FFS Plex, the server is on my local network 4 weeks ago:
What I meant is I tried to Google homebrew smart remote and found nothing. I do have understanding of the concepts and was looking for the specifics :)

I tried googling some of this but I must be misunderstanding the thread, mind ELI5 for the rest of us? ^_^’

And yet whenever you try to bring this up you get folks from all sides of the political spectrum losing their shit.

Do you mean actual mcd branded ones? We can find normal chicken nuggets, not mcd (but the standard ones are just as good sometimes better). In NL.
- Comment on whats your dumb purchases? 5 weeks ago:
I mean if you’re into mechs I can see how that could come in handy for spares if anything, or just fucking around. Depends on the price though if you’re paying anywhere close to normal price then it’s probably not worth it, if it’s like 10% of the price then sure why not.

Didn’t someone make like an entire story from all of these at one point? I remember it being a bit of a stretch but still funny.

Obligatory PSA not to give bread to ducks (or birds), use compatible seeds and grains instead if you enjoy doing that.
- Comment on Political discourse 5 weeks ago:
All I’m saying is everything is further to the right in the US. These things you listed aren’t even partisan issues here, they’re just normal things.
- Comment on Political discourse 5 weeks ago:
I don’t think any of this happened last time the democrats were in charge? Or any other time before that. Seen from Europe, democrats are definitely right of center, just less so than republicans.
- Comment on Marketing Doesn't Work on Nerds 5 weeks ago:
I agree on this for products however with services (such as the ones I provide) I can’t really give you a price upfront except for stuff I’ve highly standardized, because I have no idea until we work out the project on how much labour/costs it’s gonna have.
- Comment on Flying cars crash into each other at Chinese air show 5 weeks ago:
I know a guy that’s a pilot and while 90% of his flying is leisure, he’ll sometimes fly down to France for his vacations etc in one. Doesn’t own them though, has to pay rentals.
- Comment on How many hands long do they get? 5 weeks ago:
Except they only know the amounts/frame of references for the specific things they’re used to, so it’s not like they can do the conversion any better than the rest of us. Canadians have a similar (though different) system as well.

These things are so creepy.
- Comment on Get ready to see ads on your… Samsung refrigerator 1 month ago:
I mean if it doesn’t make sound I’ll get the cheap “smart” fridge and just cover up the screen, if it’s a high quality fridge besides the screen, no problem.
- Comment on FOSS App to Edit videos ? 1 month ago:
Great comment all around albeit with maybe a bit outdated yet personal experience.
I would say, don’t underestimate blender, it has a lot of parallel progress going on and while I never used it for video editing, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s pretty powerful in that area.
I’m personally a resolve user and I think it doesn’t have anything to envy from avid or premiere at this stage (you admit yourself it was 8 years since you tried it). It’s incredibly powerful and the free version should get you by for most projects though you might run into a few things where you wish you had the studio version.
My personal experience when I was shopping around before settling on resolve (3/4 years ago) was that all the other FOSS options I tried were mid at best.

Obviously my joke was already done. I was gonna go for “have they checked in the British museum?”. Lol.

The trick is to just keep taking more crack continuously, then everything is better all the time.
