Idk I don’t seem to count myself as having made it until I’m sat
In my experience there’s an inverse square law where the urge approaches infinity with proximity to the bowl
- Comment on Did you all know these things can be pickled??? 20 hours ago:
I got the inspiration from a visit to Turkey many years ago, give it a go, it’s a game changer
- Comment on Did you all know these things can be pickled??? 20 hours ago:
Pickled red onions are basically a cheat code
Shove some cumin, sumac, chives, salt, pepper and lemon juice on some and an hour later you’re dealing with 24 carat amazingness
- Comment on Did you all know these things can be pickled??? 22 hours ago:
I know you seem to be having a bit of a radish moment
But lemme tell you, you can pretty much pickle anything edible that’s not been particularly processed
If you’re just living a monopickle life with gherkins, you need to step out into the universe outside your door
Any given person’s sandwich game is directly proportional to the selection of tang they have available to them

Well it’s more of a perk for a donation the way I see it,
But hey, it also breaks even after 25 years…!
- Comment on Alton Towers bans people with anxiety from using disability pass 3 days ago:
The telegraph’s main demographic is lonely, angry, retired gammons
I can 100% believe there are a shitload of them spending their final years vomiting bile into internet comment sections, completely earnestly

The Torygraph reporting on something adjacent to mental health issues?
I bet that’s going to not make me hate humanity by reading it…!
- Comment on There isn't a person on earth that doesn't look cooler with sunglasses on. 3 days ago:
There definitely exceptions
Gotta say those flippy top ones only look cool if you can pull off a full 80s beach holiday look with it. Those light reactive ones kinda end up giving history teacher vibes rather than cool vibes any time I’ve seen them. Oakley’s when not on a ski slope (and even then tbh) kinda makes the wearer look like an out of touch boomer.
I’m not a big fan of those super thin 90s styles coming back in, but some people can definitely pull them off

I’m already expecting it to come out that Farage is one of the names they’ve been redacting

If anything like me, just tall
- Comment on [deleted] 4 days ago:
Honestly, what a monumentally shit take from OP
There are people out there losing family members, many of them forever, over politics
There are millions of people who don’t feel safe leaving their house right now due to politics
Millions more worried about straight up losing their house and everything they own over politics
People worried about where their next meal is coming from
People worried if they’re gonna be able to afford to continue to fucking live
Others wondering if there’s even going to be much of a world left to live in
Many people thinking about politics are doing so because they do not get a choice. No one wants to think about any of that, they’re being forced to by the reality unfolding around them.

Good
Hopefully the rest of the industry takes note too
- Comment on Notepad++ users take note: It's time to check if you're hacked 5 days ago:
I feel like you misunderstood me on purpose…
Funnily enough I thought you were playing along with the bit, so I guess I misunderstood
Figured “enlightened vim user” was a bit more of a giveaway than it apparently is
- Comment on Notepad++ users take note: It's time to check if you're hacked 5 days ago:
Vim is hardly an IDE unless you have added a shitload of plugins (which is fine if you want to do that, arguably a plus to have the option)
Notepad++ is way too bloated for a “simple notepad replacement” and often lacking when you need something more serious than that
Although I guess vim never shipped with malware, so I guess it’s lacking in that particular notepad++ feature
- Comment on Notepad++ users take note: It's time to check if you're hacked 5 days ago:
All of this would have been easily avoided by its users if they had just listened to the enlightened and switched to vim
I’d rather never turn my computer on again and run away to live in the woods than use notepad++
- Comment on Reform UK politicians should be barred from speaking on campus, say 35% of students 6 days ago:
Quick search indicates HEPI is a Tory-run lobbying org
Baffling that a Tory would struggle understanding the paradox of tolerance.
Though, actually a bit concerning the guardian would publish this without that context
- Comment on [deleted] 6 days ago:
Most people […] write […] comments […] and hope AI picks them up
Really quite sad if there’s even one person out there doing that.
This is also as much of a grift as any SEO that claims to have cracked the code of getting to the top of results. Even if they have figured something reproducible, it will get fixed. If someone can manipulate a search engine to provide results different to what it would otherwise do, that’s a bug they will fix
- Comment on What's up with "Plex Servers"? 1 week ago:
Depends what industry you’re in, I guess
I’m in tech and there are more Plex guys than people looking for Plex guys
- Comment on Sony Patents Buttonless Adaptive Controller With Customizable Layouts 1 week ago:
Unless they have some magic tech to deform the surface and do the same fake click Apple does with their touch pads, this is going to suck massively.
You shouldn’t need to look at your controller, basically ever
- Comment on Sony Patents Buttonless Adaptive Controller With Customizable Layouts 1 week ago:
The steam controller was a bit inferior to the steam deck control setup and used touch pads instead of buttons in a lot of layouts.
The steam deck (and new steam controller) layout is much better because it’s essentially touch pads added to a conventional controller layout
- Comment on Musk's Starlink to allow consumer data to train AI 1 week ago:
Hmm, seems exactly like the kind of training data you might need to create an AI that does VPN traffic analysis to then sell to the likes of Palantir/autocrats
- Comment on Is it possible that the rich are so rich that they have created inflation? 1 week ago:
TBF I more meant they weren’t actively trying to be malicious in many cases
You’re entirely right that they are malicious though
- Comment on Is it possible that the rich are so rich that they have created inflation? 1 week ago:
Yes 100%
Wealth generates income, that income can’t sit as cash or it will lose value, so they need to invest.
When the ultra wealthy invest, it’s less important to get the best price for an asset than simply getting it. That money needs to be spent. So if there’s competition for an asset, they will spend more to get it.
When that happens, the price of the asset goes up.
Those assets ultimately determine the baseline cost of everything else. Can’t grow food if you’ve not got a farm. Farms being more expensive make food more expensive.
This isn’t malicious, this is just how it has to be when you have ultra wealthy people. They must invest, they must take property away from everyone else.
The ultra rich are actively pricing us out of living.
The ultra rich need to go

I’ve had a few AF IPAs that still haven’t got the mouthfeel right, but they’re getting close with the hoppiness
Guinness 0.0 is genuinely good enough to pass as a mid-level Guinness from a train station pub
- Comment on Apparently I'm into Web3, says Netcup 🤷 1 week ago:
Huh, typically you’d set an instance to scale out, not in when CPU usage spikes
- Comment on Finally, the FPS I keep asking for: Deep combat, classic modes, and an honest-to-god server browser 1 week ago:
Oh don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t saying this was “just quake”
I think it’s the same words to describe two different things. Less “taking advantage of weird math for optimal speed” and more “kung fu action movie with guns”.
Ah fair play, tbh I saw that list of maneuvers and it was like I’d been warped back 20 years and started watching a hypercam skill video on YouTube with 009 Soundsystem dreamscape in the background.
Well you’ve definitely got me intrigued anyway, I’ll probably pick it up when it’s on sale
- Comment on Finally, the FPS I keep asking for: Deep combat, classic modes, and an honest-to-god server browser 1 week ago:
Quake doesn’t have sprint and a lot of those kinds of maneuvers are straight out of shooters like that. Quake players also basically invented the wall-run and dive rolling was pretty common in UT99 IIRC too
That description is literally what playing old school arena shooters is like
- Comment on Finally, the FPS I keep asking for: Deep combat, classic modes, and an honest-to-god server browser 1 week ago:
I’m not disagreeing with you, but does it?
Honestly it looks (refreshingly) very much like those kind of games just with modern graphics and a load-out system
Is there something I’ve missed?
- Comment on Mosaics are analog pixel art 1 week ago:
Apparently they did have a raw format called RAF and the processing involved “demosaicing” funnily enough given the thread we are in
