I’ve always held the belief that Jim was short for Jimothy, and Kim was short for Kimothy. You can’t convince me otherwise!

Seconding this. He sounds smart enough to understand “Hey, I need a few minutes, but I still want to talk”.
Raising our kids, we never used reasons like “because I said so”, we always explained why we made the decisions we did, so our children learned reasoning and understanding as they grew. Kids are generally quick to learn, and can understand most situations if explained plainly. Talk to them with clarity and respect and you’ll be surprised at the response you get.
- Comment on Google might replace the ‘I’m Feeling Lucky’ button with AI Mode 3 weeks ago:
I think I’ve clicked that button once in maybe 15 years. IMO it’s useless and I’m surprised it has taken them this long to do something about it. I wonder what the click stats for that one button are.
- Comment on Philips debuts 3D printable components to repair products 3 weeks ago:
I don’t ask for permission to make my own parts. I do it all the time. What I mean is I want to see more companies proactively offering consumers replacement parts and design files that would otherwise not be available without good drawing and modeling skills.

In 2001 my Uni’s entire campus network was shut down for 3 days to clean up a massive NIMDA infection. Wild times.
- Comment on HBA Mode vs IT Mode to connect disks for ZFS 5 weeks ago:
Initiator Target mode and Host Bus Adapter mode are interchangable terms for the same thing. The card has 2 modes, one is RAID (don’t use this) and the other is Initiator-Target or HBA mode.
ZFS needs direct disk access so flash the IT .bin for HBA mode using the P20 (latest) drivers and you’re g2g.

- Comment on Why do some drivers turn off the signal sound so quickly? 1 month ago:
Same. This runs for 3 seconds and blinks 3 times. If the car behind you is not paying attention to you for longer than that, that’s their problem. Your first priority when driving is looking where you are going before anything else.

Cars are just a scam made up by Big Horse to sell more horsepower without actually selling any horses

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 months 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.

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 2 months 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? 2 months 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…

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.

- Comment on Jeep's annoying pop-up nags you to buy an extended warranty at every stop sign 3 months 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 3 months 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.
