I once knew a woman who used cut up punch cards as spacers when rolling joints.

~5 inches thick means the circumference, I assume? Because a ~12cm diameter sounds rather uncomfortable.

Do you mean MAGAF? The F stands for Facebook and fascism.

Damn.
- Comment on Quick fix for cracked plastic clip: thread wrap and superglue 1 week ago:
It looks like the thread is keeping the upper part from slipping out, yes. But that still creates vertical stress on the glued part. And the thread won’t hold long either, is my prediction. It will loosen over time. Repairing something sometimes means replacing parts and that’s the right approach here.

Woah, you’re an optimist.
- Comment on Quick fix for cracked plastic clip: thread wrap and superglue 1 week ago:
Superglue sucks ass for vertical stress. If plastic like this breaks, it’s best to replace the entire piece. Either buy a replacement or print a new one, if you are sufficiently equipped.

What’s that flag mean? It looks like it says “I’m an asshole”, but I’m not quite sure.
- Comment on Mozilla is shutting down Pocket, their read-it-later and content discovery app, and Fakespot, their browser extension that analyzes the authenticity of online product reviews. 2 weeks ago:
I used to use Pocket a lot, it was my main way to read long form articles. I somehow stopped doing that years ago as a way to preserve my mental health. Since then I haven’t used Pocket once.
- Comment on "You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books" 2 weeks ago:
I think that ship has sailed. That word is at the moment a clear sign the person using it is an asshole. It can be reclaimed, but right now I don’t see that happening.

Any person who unironically uses “woke” is a complete douche canoe and can go get fucked. Change my mind.
- Comment on There are people who are still using toilet paper purchased during the pandemic. 3 weeks ago:
It’s endemic when it’s just always there, like the common flu. Even if the numbers fluctuate. When it first appears and spreads across borders it’s pandemic.
- Comment on There are people who are still using toilet paper purchased during the pandemic. 3 weeks ago:
Covid is endemic now. Is there another pandemic?

I never said she should’ve been black. But some milktoast British lady is still several shades lighter than any Egyptian in history.

Or look at Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Or Elizabeth Taylor in Cleopatra. Or John Wayne in Gengis Khan.

- Comment on 4 fundamental forces 5 weeks ago:
While that is true, for how long can you resist gravity? Gravity is the endurance hunter of the fundamental forces. Sure, you can lift your arm and resist the entire earth’s gravity. But for how long, before you succumb to gravity’s irresistible pull?
- Comment on What is Docker? 5 weeks ago:
Docker is a set of tools, that make it easier to work with some features of the Linux kernel. These kernel features allow several degrees of separating different processes from each other. For example, by default each Docker container you run will see its own file system, unable to interact (read: mess) with the original file system on the host or other Docker container. Each Docker container is in the end a single executable with all its dependencies bundled in an archive file, plus some Docker-related metadata.
- Comment on 'Oh god': There's a buried Steam help page that shows how much money you've ever spent on the platform, and you may not want to know 1 month ago:
530 dollars for 251 games in almost 22 years of service. Steam only logged about 210 hours in those years, which is bullshit. There’s almost no time recorded in Half-life, Day of defeat or Counterstrike and those are the games I played the most. I also got most games through Humblebundle, where I spent 270 dollars since June 2012. But as I haven’t been playing much on PC ever since the PS3 came out, the real money went to Sony and I don’t even want to know.
- Comment on Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version 1 month ago:
Exactly. It also means you’re being sued by the copyright holder and not the state. You won’t go to prison for this shit, as opposed to actual theft.
- Comment on Quantum mechanics might have the solution to joystick drift 1 month ago:
Hall effect sensors are crazy expensive. Sony has controllers with them and they’re more than twice as expensive as the normal ones. It’s very unlikely that Sony would set this insane price without a good reason.

- Comment on Henry Symeonis 3 months ago:
Well, it might not have happened with chimpanzees, but it happens all the time with humans. So I see it more as a good allegory than a true story.
- Comment on Henry Symeonis 3 months ago:
Take five chimpanzees. Put them in a big cage. Suspend some bananas from the roof of the cage. Provide the chimpanzees with a stepladder. BUT also add a proximity detector to the bananas, so that when a chimp goes near the banana, water hoses are triggered and the whole cage is thoroughly soaked.
Soon, the chimps learn that the bananas and the stepladder are best ignored.
Now, remove one chimp, and replace it with a fresh one. That chimp knows nothing of the hoses. He sees the banana, notices the stepladder, and because he is a smart primate, he envisions himself stepping on the stepladder to reach the bananas. He then deftly grabs the stepladder… and the four other chimps spring on him and beat him squarely. He soon learns to ignore the stepladder.
Then, remove another chimp and replace it with a fresh one. The scenario occurs again; when he grabs the stepladder, he gets mauled by the four other chimps – yes, including the previous “fresh” chimp. He has integrated the notion of “thou shallt not touch the stepladder”.
Iterate. After some operations, you have five chimps who are ready to punch any chimp who would dare touch the stepladder (or curse Henry Symeonis) – and none of them knows why.
