- Comment on OpenClaw developer is moving to OpenAI 21 hours ago:
For context, there is a BUNCH of potential issues with OpenClaw. This recently happened and then ARS used fake ai quotes of the author when publishing an article about it.
- Comment on What do you recommend I carry in my first wallet? 6 days ago:
Make sure you get a good one with multiple fold out compartments too, maximum leather. Bonus if it’s ostrich skin or crock skin to really bulk up the wallet.
- Comment on Is the Raspberry Pi Still an Affordable SBC? I Don't Think So 1 week ago:
It really depends though, if you want to do analog in or out, relay control, or use existing hats, you are bought/forced into the ecosystem. If you are just using it as a small computer, yeah roll with whatever. To me, it’s always occupied the void between an arduino and a sffpc or when I wanted to do compute and analog/digital control on something.
- Comment on I've colored jenga pieces to play uno stacko. House rules for extra blocks? 1 week ago:
Thanks! It was a new build so I did the finish work on it after doing a “dry” build first to make sure the fit was okay with the parts. Then I dyed it, sprayed poly, and assembled it again.
- Comment on I've colored jenga pieces to play uno stacko. House rules for extra blocks? 1 week ago:
I did a greenburst. I think that I used 3 different greens to get there but its been a few years now. I wish I could have gotten the poly flatter on it but its good enough for a first try.
The tutorial I followed was from BigDGuitars on youtube.

Fyi, if you ever want to tint wood like that again, leather dye works REALLY well. I used the Angelus stuff on my guitar and its treally nice to work with.

Good Eats radicalized me too. Not for plex but for cooking.
- Comment on RAM Prices Got You Down? Try DDR3. Seriously! 3 weeks ago:
I had an 8350 machine with 32gb of ram when if was in season and while it never really left me short of power, the intel 4770k and 4790k were better performers. That may not be the case anymore with stuff being more multi-core optimized but at the time, the intel single core performance was so much better than the 8350s which made a bid difference in gaming.
My old rig was an 8350 overclocked to 4.5 on liquid, crossfired 3gb 7950hd’s, and 32gb of matched corsair dominator ddr3 all in a corsair 230t chassis with the bright orange paint and led fans.

The danger of most things that explode, goes away once they explode.
- Comment on Kids would encourage parents to get gas here so they could see the dinosaurs 5 weeks ago:
It also doesn’t really matter, those gas stations still exist in Colorado and they still have the big fiberglass dinosaurs hanging out. That picture could have been taken recently and still been roughly the same.

- Comment on Modded Consoles saved my retro gaming experience... 5 weeks ago:
Which version of thd slim do you have? I’m fine with a hardmod of it means I can just leave it alone. I just want to run games off the hdd. I don’t really care about anything else.

What did you use on your 360? I am about to install project stellar on my og xbox and was looking for something similar for the 360.

You should check comment history before making accusations like that, otherwise you look uninformed.

- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 1 month ago:
The containerized strikes Ukraine has done from inside russia have been particularly scary. They basically setup manufacturing cells in country, built the drones, drove to the launch sites, and launched with no one noticing. The U.S. has minimal counters to those types of attacks assuming you don’t catch them in advance. There have been reports for years about drones entering sensitive restricted airspace and just kind of flying around until the operators decide to leave.
When you start getting into ballistic missile defence and the larger one way drones, you realize that a proper coastal defence or even hvt defence on the homefront is woefully inadequate. I won’t say we need to spend more on that stuff because to do it properly would be in the high trillions. I will say we should be able to develop and field that tech in reasonable numbers given our current military spending. Buuuuuuuut, the best way to avoid needing that is to not be a country that everyone hates…
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 1 month ago:
The U.S. military really needs a wakeup call about drones but I think when that happens, its gonna be real bad news for wherever it came from or the scapegoat for it. To be clear, even in light of this, I don’t want to see people killed, on either side of this but the preparation that the U.S. military has for a drone war is woefully inadequate.
Look at the action taken against Iran, that’s a biiiiiiig deal too. Short of a nuke, there isn’t a much more exotic strike package than what was used against them.
- Comment on How many of you are using everdrive? 1 month ago:
Seconded. I have snes x6, gba mini, gbc, and 64x7. They all work great. Mine were picky about which SD card I used but once setup, they have been excellent.
Getting the save setup figured out on the n64 cart was a little weird especially adding in the Analogue 3d to the mix but once I figured out the cart sizes its been fine. I just save everything onto the everdrive now.
I 100% recommend them. The support from Krikizz is excellent to boot.
- Comment on Confirmed functional EverDrive SD cards 1 month ago:
I tried a couple of PNY cards without luck, post up if it does. Mine were the 64gb ones.

- Comment on How often do you change your towels? 1 month ago:
I loathe newly purchased towels, they always feel like they don’t dry well for a while. I typically wash/swap every 4 or so days. We also “strip” our towells with a deep clean like every couple months.

General Kenobi!
- Comment on Confirmed functional EverDrive SD cards 1 month ago:
I’m a big fan. Great hardware and super fast support. Krikizz’s work getting the 64 running for the analogue 3d was very fast and very well communicated.
- Comment on Confirmed functional EverDrive SD cards 1 month ago:
Yeah, mine were super picky about which worked and which didn’t. Not sure why, they were all formatted properly. Just following up on my precious post.

That’s cool as hell, if I didn’t already have the base gba version I would jump on it.
- Comment on YSK: The Lethal Danger Of Combining Welding And Brake Cleaner 1 month ago:
Solvent does not remove rust.
You degrease the part, then manually remove the rust, then clean with the solvent just before welding. Acetone or alcohol are better cleaners for weld prep than brake cleaner. These solvents are volatile enough that most of the time, the part is dry and not-flammable by the time you get your gear on and are ready to weld.
The really damaging thing here is not the fire but if you use chlorinated brake cleaner when welding it created concentrated chlorine gas and will kill you.
Welding produces a ton of nasty fumes and you should ALWAYS be wearing a welding rated respirator and using a fume extractor when welding, especially with flux core, galvanized, or stainless unless you want extra nasty cancer.
- Comment on It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser" 1 month ago:
How long until the forks get deprecated? Is that even a possibility? I don’t really know what goes into making this but I would imagine if it depends on some chunk of the mozilla source code, eventually it will be out of sync with the major releases or current browser standards. What does that mean for the TOR browser since its based on firefox right?
I ask that as someone moving from firefox to libre/waterfox.
- Comment on why is fossil fuel still used? 2 months ago:
Yeah, I was mostly addressing the immediate reason. The historical ones are way more complex as you mentioned. Now, you have to overcome suburban sprawl and hostile urban development where everything is spread out, requiring a car to use as a direct result of our past shitty choices/lobbying efforts.
