Cars are just a scam made up by Big Horse to sell more horsepower without actually selling any horses
- Comment on “Awful”: Roku tests autoplaying ads loading before the home screen 2 weeks ago:
Buy a commercial signage display. It’s just a TV without the smart garbage.
Or, get a projector :)
- Comment on Is there any negative consequence to wearing socks inside out? 2 weeks ago:
My best friend of 25+ years has always worn his socks inside out. He has always preferred the smooth finished side to the unfinished/textured “inside” of normal socks.
It has never been a problem nor will it. It’s just preference. Go for it, it’s not going to change a single thing other than how your socks feel.
- Comment on “They curdle like milk”: WB DVDs from 2006–2008 are rotting away in their cases - Ars Technica 3 weeks ago:
What is the goto software/suite for ripping DVDs these days? It has been ages since I’ve done any.
- Comment on I remember when I thought this was just magic 4 weeks ago:
I used a Mavica that took FD’s for storage, back in the late 90s. I loaned it from school for a project. It was fun and frustrating at the same time. It’s crazy how far this tech as evolved.
- Comment on Who gets all the tariff money about to be collected from US citizens buying products from Canada? 4 weeks ago:
They’re furthermore a way to start fights using someone else’s money, that they can then take with impunity. So effectively US citizens are now getting charged a premium to fight a war they don’t want, without a choice.
I recall a war that started over taxation without representation…

- Comment on Is it normal for high sugar contents like in cake icing to make my uvula tickle? 1 month ago:
You’re probably mildly allergic to one of the ingredients.
There are foods that will make my mouth/throat feel itchy on occasion. I’m pretty sure I’m mildly allergic to a few things, but not enough for it to be a safety issue.

I miss my MD player. Easily one of the best gadgets I ever owned.
- Comment on Jeep's annoying pop-up nags you to buy an extended warranty at every stop sign 1 month ago:
I have a pickup from the pre-infotainment era, and I’ve considered how long I’d be able to keep it. Buying an old vehicle from the south an doing a restore is so much more attractive than anything that has touchscreen controls for hvac, media, etc. All of that shit is a massive safety hazard and a huge pain in the ass to use. It’s all garbage. Give me knobs and buttons all day long.
- Comment on Jeep's annoying pop-up nags you to buy an extended warranty at every stop sign 1 month ago:
The only way I’d buy one of these things is on a factory-delete custom order that removes the whole mess. You can still buy some fleet vehicles this way. The day I buy a car that has ads in its unremovable infotainment system will be a cold day in hell. I’ll build a fucking car before buying one with ads.

No one likes their x
- Comment on what's stops one from scavenging the best parts of old phones and putting them into a new one? 5 months ago:
All of this stuff is usually fit onto a single board, crammed into a very specific amount of space, and is thoroughly and iterated until it works properly. This isn’t the kind of stuff a home lab does, but you could certainly try. I think it would be damn near impossible to do it better and more reliably than teams of hundreds or thousands of various engineers. It’s not like you can just take a phone CPU and slap it on a random board without a ton of forethought.

Well, damn. You’re right. I must rescind the point distribution.

You have Cocoa Puffs and Corn Pops combined, I’m going to give you 2 points for that.
- Comment on End nuclear fusion! 5 months ago:
At least you spent yours on something scientific in nature.
- Comment on End nuclear fusion! 5 months ago:
Only a matter of time before they can’t get any because we wasted such a limited resource on vanity instead of the pursuit of science.
