Where are you from that you would even phase it as “I’m not in”. I get what you meant but I can see why the AI doesn’t understand. Combined with severe grammar errors even a human could struggle here.
Where I’m from it’s “I’m not home” or “I’m not around”, “I won’t be there”
- Comment on How to make an EV tire that won’t pollute the environment 6 days ago:
Hey man, it’s got nothing to do with them being heavier, it IS about how that weight is distributed differently. You’ve mispoken and now everyone is latched on to something that isn’t true about something that is true.
EV tires are made from different compounds then truck and car tires which causes them to wear ~20% faster.
-
EVs have instant torque delivery, which can put more strain on the tires during acceleration. Therefore, they need EV tires that can handle the increased force and extra weight.
-
Electric vehicles have heavy battery packs, affecting the overall weight distribution. This can impact tire wear, so EV tires are designed to carry and distribute the extra weight effectively.
-
EV tires are engineered to have lower rolling resistance. These tires reduce the energy required to move the vehicle, resulting in better range and longer battery life.
-
Most EVs use regenerative braking systems, which recover energy during braking. EV tires offer better traction and grip, enhancing the effectiveness of regenerative braking.
-
Electric vehicles are generally quieter than traditional ICE vehicles. To complement this characteristic, EV tires are built to reduce road noise and vibrations, providing a quieter and more comfortable ride

- Comment on Server as heating device - how do I do this? 1 month ago:
Unless you can physically separate the heat from the server… This is a bad idea. There’s a reason servers don’t sit in hot humid areas.

Haha retro… Ouch

haha i didnt believe you but google translate confirms
- Comment on Raspberry Pi 5 vs Intel N100 mini PC comparison - Features, Benchmarks, and Price 1 month ago:
Pi power consumption is going up too. And x86 keeps coming down. Idle power draw the pi wins you’d get 2x longer idle. But under load if you compared the workoutput to wattage I bet it’s pretty close.
- Comment on Raspberry Pi 5 vs Intel N100 mini PC comparison - Features, Benchmarks, and Price 1 month ago:
Yep, that’s what ‘generally’ and ‘niche’ means. The n100 doesnt have hyper threading so isnt subject to that kind of attack - btw the same attack that AMD has been subject to to many times over and over. Not sure what’s good on ARM curiosity - still interested to know.
- Comment on Raspberry Pi 5 vs Intel N100 mini PC comparison - Features, Benchmarks, and Price 1 month ago:
There’s gotta be a bunch of niche cases why a pi is better - but generally…not.
What usecase is arm based linux and bsd all that important? Outside of arm dev - probably not much.
- Comment on Raspberry Pi 5 vs Intel N100 mini PC comparison - Features, Benchmarks, and Price 1 month ago:
At the ever increasing cost of the pi and how limiting it is, the n100 is a no brainer.
- Comment on ByteDance prefers TikTok shutdown in US if legal options fail, sources say 2 months ago:
Fwiw I’m not American.
- Comment on ByteDance prefers TikTok shutdown in US if legal options fail, sources say 2 months ago:
If tiktok can be considered owned by the Chinese gov so can facebook en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRISM theres tons of programs secret and public that shows american tech companies have to obey to the US government demands.
“In 2014, ByteDance established an internal Chinese Communist Party (CCP) committee.[47] The company’s vice president, Zhang Fuping, serves as the company’s CCP Committee Secretary.[48][49]”
This is not a defense of FB or american companies, but rather an indictment of tiktok and an acknowledgement that the degree of CCP involvement in tiktok is not the same as neolib involvement in FB.

It’s almost like making money is not the primary purpose of this website 🤔
- Comment on Those were the days 2 months ago:
Contextually I’m saying it’s a diaper. This is a guy who doesn’t love getting out of his chair.
- Comment on Those were the days 2 months ago:
Phones didn’t have UFS/USB storage like today. So usually you were using a proprietary cable and software to move files over.
- Comment on Nas’ 'Illmatic' Was the Beginning of the End of the Album 2 months ago:
Man as someone who named themselves Album because i am a fan of Albums as a piece of art - I do NOT agree. Illmatic is one of the best albums ever made, no challenge - but it’s an odd take to try to frame it as one of the last. Super narrow view.
- Comment on The Google One VPN service is heading to the Google graveyard - The Verge 2 months ago:
It makes just as much sense as most popular vpns. The main difference is you know you don’t trust Google. Do you think something like nordvpn is any different? There’s no guarantee for what they’re doing either.
- Comment on 卄乇ㄥㄥ ㄚ乇卂卄 2 months ago:
Would love this without the text and possibly the distortion
- Comment on More and more people are ditching carrier roaming in favor of travel eSIMs 2 months ago:
Yeah. Before your options were roaming or waiting till you get there to get a physical SIM.
Today I can get an app that will install the esim before I get to the country so I’m ready to go out the gate.
Rates seem really good this way.

Alright, finished the internet early today. See y’all tomorrow.

Lmao yep
- Comment on Wyze says camera breach let 13,000 customers briefly see into other people’s homes 4 months ago:
This is the exact same error that chatgpt had. Caching error letting you see other users stuff.
- Comment on Choose your ultimate lineup! 4 months ago:
The album that song is on is actually great and one of my favs of that era. I’d make them play the whole album.
- Comment on Choose your ultimate lineup! 4 months ago:
Soad, Deftones, Allen ant farm. Done. let’s go I have a boner already
- Comment on Staff meeting 4 months ago:
Obviously the used the Staff Room. Staff only.
- Comment on "Cheaters never prosper" is a lie that a cheater probably came up with 4 months ago:
Long term losses > short term gains
- Comment on Instance admin updates + Blahaj 5 months ago:
Yeah sure like blacklist instead of exclusion list. I get it. Really I do. I feel like saying you’re progressive instantly means you aren’t - so I still won’t say it.
They/them is a way to refer to anyone without making ANY assumptions about gender - because it’s entirely unnecessary to do so. I don’t see how calling someone who identifies as female ‘they’ has any affect on someone who is transgendered or specifically prefers they/them identifiers. It sounds like the intent there is that they/them is exclusive for transgender…which as of this time I can’t agree with.
If it’s done intentionally to disparage trans allies then sure - that makes good sense - but this clearly wasn’t done in bad faith.
- Comment on X removes support for NFT profile pictures 5 months ago:
The value of your NFT just went from .02 to .0002
- Comment on Instance admin updates + Blahaj 5 months ago:
This is so dumb you should defed with Blahaj in principle. I don’t even use this instance but it’s kinda pathetic that you guys have to deal with this.
Apparently defending oneself from attacks in a discussion is “aggression”. No consequences for the others in that thread I assume.
It’s also completely insane that the use of “they” to refer to anyone would be soft transphobia. That’s one of the main purposes of that word - especially on the internet. Some languages don’t even have he/she it’s literally just THEY in their language e.g Tagalog has ‘sila’ for singular ‘they’ and ‘sha’ for plural they. There is no he/him/her/she in that language.
- Comment on For real though, I think about this at least once a day 5 months ago:
Lol the entire enterprise crew needs some deep therapy after all the traumatic shit they deal with on the daily. The most unrealistic part of that show was how none of them became became grizzled after 10 years of life altering experiences and losses though they often showed others who did. I want to assume they had access to more than troi and just didn’t show it because an entire crew probably couldn’t be supported by one therapist similarly to how whichever physical health doctor on board had lots of help and even other doctors.

Imagine getting paid that much to ruin everything you touch.
