- Comment on Honda successfully launched and landed its own reusable rocket 5 days ago:
The issue is not going up, it’s going over. If we only cared about the private sector getting people into space, that happened on a fully reusable vehicle twenty years ago.
The problem is getting things to stay in space. Not trying to Elon-stan here, but getting a rocket into orbit is many fold more difficult than just getting into space.
- Comment on I Tried Pre-Ordering the Trump Phone. The Page Failed and It Charged My Credit Card the Wrong Amount 1 week ago:
cosmetically tweaked
It would have to be super tweaked considering the phone you referenced has four cameras, and a notch style front camera.
My bet is that this is a 10 second photoshop job and the actual phone will look nothing like that.
I mean if you do a difference blend of two of the cameras, you get a perfectly black circle (minus some blending at the edges): Image This means that the cameras are exact pixel-perfect copies of each other arranged in that order by photoshop. They don’t exist on any phone.
- Comment on A game you "didn't know it was bad 'til people told you so"? 1 week ago:
There were so many issues
- Final boss was lame and level leading to it was slow and tedious completely killing the momentum
- Camera system was wonky
- Rocket nozzle barely got any play
- Jet nozzle was too difficult to control to be useful outside of specific racing segments
- Pachinko machine physics were fucked
- The lily pad level was unfairly difficult
- There was no way to track which blue coins you found. Like even a grey coin marker for already collected coins would have been super helpful.
- The reward for getting blue coins was pathetic
- Yoshi was criminally underutilized. The whole juice mechanic was used like twice.
The whole thing just felt rushed. Like there was another third of the game that they didn’t get to make.

Super Mario Sunshine. I thought it was just hard as a kid. Come to learn it’s fucking broken.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Not so much overheating as dropout. Batteries lose both energy capacity and power capacity over time. If you draw too much current from an older battery, its voltage will drop significantly and possibly prematurely shut down the phone.
Lowering peak current (by slowing down the phone), can prevent your phone from shutting off while it still has like 20% capacity left.
Considering Apple was doing battery replacements for like $60 (before bumping to $100), and this was a setting that could be turned off, I think the only real crime was enabling it by default and not properly informing users.
- Comment on Can you clear a straight line of malfunctioning pixels on a phone with a lighter? 1 week ago:
This is the kind of equipment you need to fix your problem.
A lighter does not have the precision to do it unless you are insanely lucky.
- Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water? 1 week ago:
Some people don’t have access to decent tasting tap water and bottled water is expensive.
Tip: If your water tastes like chlorine, just fill a pitcher and put it in the fridge. Whatever chemicals they use will off gas overnight and it’ll taste great in the morning.
- Comment on How often do you take him for a walk? 1 week ago:
Or is it yet another example of social decay, that parents can’t even discipline/raise their kids well enough to allow them outside without leashes?
From what I’ve heard, the expectations of behavior for children in public spaces has gotten a lot more strict. People generally have very little patience for your kid’s antics. Also fewer mothers are dedicated homemakers, and when time and energy are tight, a leash might be a good bandaid.

They also have one of the largest egg size to mother size ratios of any species of bird.

I feel like I remember someone doing this like 10 years ago. Can’t find a link.
- Comment on Amazon is reportedly training humanoid robots to deliver packages 2 weeks ago:
eventually
It’s been ten fucking years. They are one of the top five companies in the world. What are we waiting for here?
- Comment on Amazon is reportedly training humanoid robots to deliver packages 2 weeks ago:
Even as pitched, you still have to print out a QR code and staple it to your front lawn for every package. Presumably, they want you to be home for it since it’s dropped out in the open and might bounce into the street.
- Comment on Amazon is reportedly training humanoid robots to deliver packages 2 weeks ago:
Amazon announced using drones in 2014. In pop culture, drone delivery is like an assumed common practice. Yet fucking nobody gets their packages delivered by drone. It’s been over a decade.
These robots are vaporware. Amazon will get a stock bump and that’s the whole point.
- Comment on Let my Duolingo streak expire cos I don't want to give them any more AI training for free and this popped up 🙄 2 weeks ago:
I wish the whole streak paradigm was time weighted. Like I got over a 1 year streak on my Apple watch over Covid. That’s basically never going to happen again. I wish there was some kind of “this is your longest streak in the past <time period>” or something. It all just feels so all or nothing.

Makes a lot of sense, thanks.

Wasn’t the whole point of layaway to keep the physical item from being purchased by another customer until you could pay it off? How many items today completely sell out?
Elder millennial, and I’ve never fully understood layaway.

Is it because the amps are high
Yes. I don’t know about for motorcycles, but in a car, it’s like hundreds of amps. That’s a lot of fucking amps.

It would cost like $1k for some YouTuber to buy a few burner android phones, slap prepaid sims in them, and then talk to them about their love of Hyundai and protein powder. It would blow the whole lid off whatever conspiracy were all just resigning ourselves to.
Such an easy thing to test and yet there’s zero evidence that it’s happening. At least the way people assume.

Getting upset about AI in this case is extra silly because 90% of the art is made by clicking and dragging rage faces that someone else made.

Man, how did you find that? I wasn’t getting anything on ddg.
Anywho, looks a little buggy (it doesn’t seem to deal with website credentials, so I’m not sure how it ever worked), but it’s got the bones to do what I want to do. Thanks for the link.
