- Comment on Hacker says they banned ‘thousands’ of Call of Duty gamers by abusing anti-cheat flaw 1 week ago:
Vizor said they could simply send a private message — known as a “whisper” in the game — that included one of these hardcoded strings, such as “Trigger Bot,” and get the player they were messaging banned from the game.
That is so fucking stupid.
- Comment on Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible 1 month ago:
I think this will cause as many problems as it solves (from Reddit’s POV), going private has always been a panic button for mods when shit hits the fan. Now those controversies will have much longer to build and have news stories written about it first. Short sighted.

In a perfect world stick it in a secondary reactor and make lithium. But that’s obviously even further off than hydrogen fusion.

I don’t think there are many people just chucking pills out. 1000 isn’t much if it’s your go-to pain relief.
Ibuprofen solid tablets take about 5 years to expire (they are also pretty safe to eat expired as well, just might be less effective). So you have to have about 4 a week on average, which is well wihin safe limits even for a single person (and these are more for families).
As an example usecase If you have 3 menstrators in your household that take 4 a day 3 days a month (daily safe max is meant to be 6x200mg tablets) then that’s ~450 a year and you’ll be using them up more than quick enough to not throw any out, and that’s just dealing with cramps alone. Throw in someone with back pain, the occasional headache and sprained ankle, etc, and you can see how quickly a big family could go through them.
Personally I don’t quite go through them that quick (I use roughly 100 a year) but if my household was 1 bigger it would make sense for me too.

Unfortunately converting 1 calorie to joules ruins everything 4.2J per calorie. Makes it annoying to calculate how quickly you can boil water for instance.

- Comment on Lingering damage 1 month ago:
realistically your only hurting the person that lives there next. Even when it eventually becomes too big a problem to ignore that’ll prompt the landlord to hastily cover it up and sell it. And you are also hurting the city pipes as well which costs everyone money.

I helped set up a raser blade 14 with ubuntu 22.04 and it worked out of the box. Since setting it up I haven’t heard any complaints, which is usually a good sign.

If the calendar was written in C++ or many of it’s derivatives then signed integer overflow is undefined behaviour and it could technically choose to do anything it damn well wants (unsigned integers actually do have defined overflow behaviour). Something tells me the runtime of a paper calendar is anything but standard :D

- Comment on And they don't fold well either 4 months ago:
It’s great on the bottom and seems like it’ll last the rest of my life.
No pillow is going to last 10years. Your brand recommends changing every 2-4 years depending on the type, of course they are biased to make that number lower, but you still are going to be hurting yourself if you leave it too long. If you wake up with a stuffy nose every morning that could be your pillow for instance.
If longevity is your biggest concern I would recommend something like a buckwheat pillow, when it ages out you can just replace the stuffing for cheap and the waste buckwheat is fully biodegradable. I love mine!

Are you a back sleeper or someone who sleeps on their arm? If I get in my side sleeping position without a pillow my ear isn’t even touching the ground.

Pretty much entirely blocked, but it makes setting it up a little painful, but pleasurable if you’re into it and have experience.

Well your clearly not here in good faith so I’ll keep it brief.
Singh is in his pocket, a waste of a vote. I was an NDP voter all my life, I’m done.
Sorry can’t hear you over the sound of my dentists drill.
Polliviere is an absolute idiot who will ride a wave of hatred for Trudeau into office.
Worse than Biden, probably, worse than Trump no way.
Voters in Canada have no power and no representation as all votes are whipped. Your MP is a seat filler
No I live in a green riding.
- Comment on To all you outside of the US... 4 months ago:
No I would definitely vote for trudeau a 100 times over before Biden, and we have at least 3 choices in almost every riding. We don’t have to worry about gerrymandering and voters reform while unlikely is at least a topic mainstream politicians will tall about.
Comparing ourselves too much to the states is why canada is the mess it is, it’s still no contest with the states.

On the rare occasion I have to wear a dress shirt for work, I’m making sure it’s as wrinkled as possible. I wouldn’t want to be mistaken for one of the execs, it gives the impression that you don’t work hard. I think it’ll continue bubbling up in the same way not wearing a tie and not having curtails did.
- Comment on Rock Eagle Flag 4 months ago:
For the lazy US has 3.5x more guns than Finland and 35x more firearm homicides (which, not to nitpick, is not necessarily the same as a firearm death). If us has a 10x reduction in firearm homicides to be more in line with their gun ownership they would go from being ranked 23rd (as of 2019) to 42nd or so, going below countries like Canada (although Canada’s gun crime is strongly linked with the us), new Zealand and Sweden.

I would suggest growing your own mushrooms as the safest way to be sure they are tainted, it’s pretty easy (the hardest part is keeping things sterile) and you can grow quite a bit at once in a small footprint. In my jurisdiction it’s not even illegal so long as you destroy the final product upon maturity.
