- Comment on Solar panels in space could cut Europe's renewable energy needs by 80% 2 days ago:
I saw this documentary about a device that can concentrate solar energy, called a “Solex Agitator.” The project went sideways when this guy, who looked an awful lot like Christopher Lee, stole the prototype and tried to sell it to the highest bidder.
The British government somehow got involved and sent a spy to…
Wait… maybe that wasn’t a documentary.

Fair point. If course that’s already a problem with Excel. It would probably have to be disabled by default just like VBA macros.
- Comment on It Took Many Years And Billions Of Dollars, But Microsoft Finally Invented A Calculator That Is Wrong Sometimes 4 days ago:
There are things that could be done to improve Excel. For instance, fully integrate python and allow it to be used to create custom functions. Then, maybe one day, VBA can ride off into the sunset where it belongs.
Adding Copilot to Excel is not an improvement because Copilot and all other LLM based platforms frequently barfs out totally incorrect information about how to do something in Excel.
“You do that using <X> formula.”
No, I can’t, you worthless pile of shit because THAT FORMULA DOESNT EXIST.

Some of us do teach our kids and they just don’t care, I guess. My oldest (17) has had a smartphone for a few years. She knowa what not to do on social media. Does it anyway. That pretty well tracks with the rest of her (mostly) poor decisions. What can I say? She’s …Consistent. 🤷♂️
- Comment on Starlink tries to block Virginia’s plan to bring fiber Internet to residents 1 week ago:
They do offer their T-Satellite service which uses Starlink. It only works with supported mobile devices (not home Internet) and is additional to your regular plan.
T-Mobile is honestly one of the easiest cell operators to deal with in my experience. I would take them over AT&T any day.

You also need to know how to “vibe white”.
Does wielding an absurdly large Starbucks cup and angrily demanding to speak to the manager count?
- Comment on Starlink tries to block Virginia’s plan to bring fiber Internet to residents 1 week ago:
Recently talked my MIL into switching to T-Mobile home Internet instead of StarLink. I even volunteered to mount an external cell antenna on her roof if the signal wasn’t good enough.
Elmo and his shitty satellite company can kiss my ass.
- Comment on So Long to Tech's Dream Job: It’s the shut up and grind era, tech workers said, as Apple, Google, Meta and other giants age into large bureaucracies. 1 week ago:
I find it difficult to be the code mill I’m expected to be, especially when getting work done quickly is prioritized over getting it done correctly.
Same. Half the time the code base is an indicipherable, spaghetti filled dumpster fire. More often than that, the business plan is either non existent or just plain idiotic. Management can’t even answer basic questions like, “who is going to pay for this?” The last three projects I worked on were DOA because there was no clear path to profitability. This was at large, well established corporations.
I’m still trying to figure out how it’s possible to graduate with an MBA without understanding the inherent need for revenue to exceed expenses.
- Comment on Help. 1 week ago:
I think the decline of organized religion and things like fraternal orders (Elks, Moose, Shriners, etc.) have probably contributed a lot to the loneliness epidemic. There are a lot of other extenuating factors but those two things were once foundational to social circles in the US.

Just a bit of olive oil.
- Comment on Bat Butts 1 week ago:
Absolutely. If they’re small, you can handle them with thick leather gloves if you absolutely have to. Little brown bat’s don’t have teeth that are long or sharp enough to penetrate the leather. That won’t stop them from grabbing ahold of your finger to let you know that they are not happy.
Of course, it’s best to avoid to touching them at all if possible. Especially if they allow you to get close enough to touch them. That’s pretty unusual and can be an indicator of rabies.
This little guy (pictured) found his way into my basement, heard a spider moving in a glue trap, and managed to get stuck in said trap. He flew safely back to his buddies after we worked out our differences and he had a snack and some water.

People with hip replacements can walk again for years afterwards. This is not normal.
- Comment on Bat Butts 2 weeks ago:
They can also bite surprisingly hard. Handling a bat with your bare hands to get a good look at its ass cheeks …or whatever other reasons you might have… Is ill advised.

- Comment on HELP: Wireguard for home network with remote exit node 2 weeks ago:
I want to make sure I understand your goal correctly. Here’s what I’m getting.
- You have a wire guard connection that you want to use for outbound traffic from your local LAN.
- You have a Debian box that serves at the client in this situation.
Here’s the part where I’m a little fuzzy
- You want to connect to your local LAN using another wire guard connection and have WAN requests routed from clients connecting to your LAN (via wire guard) out the wire guard connection mentioned in #1.
Did I get any part of that wrong?

- Comment on The US Coast Guard Marine Board of Investigation tasked with examining the June 2023 implosion of the Titan submersible released its report 2 weeks ago:
IKR? It doesn’t take a genius or even an engineering degree to figure out that if you’re inside a vessel under intense pressure and that vessel is made of a bunch of fibers that are glued together, cracking sounds are no bueno.
- Comment on The US Coast Guard Marine Board of Investigation tasked with examining the June 2023 implosion of the Titan submersible released its report 2 weeks ago:
I recently watched the Netflix documentary about the Titan. Stockton Rush’s sheer level of hubris is just mind blowing. Not only thinking he knew better than engineers who design submersibles for a living, but willfully disregarding a century of well established engineering standards in favor of his stupid ass ideas.
