You do know they have limited write cycles, right? Not getting at you or anything. Just checking. I’ve had a handful flip over to read-only mode over the years, would hate for that to happen to anyone else unexpectedly.
- Comment on Most people don't have boxes of USB flash drives sitting around 1 day ago:
I can’t speak for anyone else, but for me, I throw them away as they break, and I’m not planning to replace them. I just find them incredibly handy as a means of quick and easy data transfer without pissing around with network shares.

It’s annoying, a lot of them are more than 4GB now :(

Most people do not go to professional conferences, though

- Comment on What's *your* favorite way to play old games? 2 days ago:
I have a PS2-compatible PS3, and a N2DS XL. The 2DS is a fantastic little emulation machine, and the PS3 plays three generations of games from my youth well into my adulthood. Between those two devices and my desktop, I’m pretty much set for any game.
That said, my favourite way to play old games is The Internet Archive Console Living Room. The bar to entry is so incredibly low (any modern browser is good enough), and you can share random games with people just by giving them a link. For example, would you like to play my favourite game of all time? Click here and click the power button. Controls are below the game.

I’m really sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but modern livestock feeds aren’t all vegan.

This is the only correct answer

Well, 2015 was a writeoff, 2016 was the year I got my mortgage, 2017 I started my new job, 2018 same shit different year, and 2019 was just a blur. So far 2020 has been pretty shit. I can’t wait for 2021, if it ever comes.

Where the hell did all that time go?
I dunno fam, I went to sleep in the mid 1990s and now I’m 40 and have a car and a mortgage and how the fuck did all this happen

You need a reality check. You’re on the Internet. We can’t all agree on anything.
- Comment on If what they taught us about checks and balances was a lie maybe what they taught us about civil disobedience was a lie too. 1 week ago:
What did the nebulous “they” teach us about civil disobedience again? Because I’m not sure I ever learned that lesson in the first place 😈

I always tell the honest truth. I’m an utterly terrible liar. /lie

Fun fact: the bananas that are bred for human consumption are herbs. They don’t contain any seeds, and they grow on herbaceous bushes.

Yes, they definitely make 3 litre bottles.

Now that you point it out, that was actually a typo, I meant 3l. But I’m not gonna edit it because I find it funny. :)

Happens every year, doesn’t it?
- Comment on There are people young enough to not even remember Pokémon Red/Blue who are old enough to be parents now 1 week ago:
I’m not talking about a generational divide. I’m talking about feeling old. Me, being in my 40s. Perhaps I could’ve led with that.

Have you considered the meaning of the words “young enough to”?

I’d imagine it’s like downing an entire 4l bottle of Pepsi Max. Seems innocuous, but you’re gonna have a bad time.
- Comment on Spotifies come and Spotifies go, but that folder of badly-sorted MP3s will still be there in the 2050s. 1 week ago:
Maybe you’re right, I don’t get it. Because from where I’m sitting, ears don’t have anything to do with it, any loss in quality already happened when the music was encoded as an mp3. You can’t magically restore the missing bits by transcoding it to a different format, even if that format is lossless, because the loss already happened.
- Comment on The people developing vegan meat alternatives must have eaten a lot of meat beforehand so they can replicate the taste and texture. 1 week ago:
Most people aren’t born vegan :)

I’m just not sure how transcoding an existing MP3 file to ogg would restore its quality given that the bits are already gone, is all

Please explain how changing formats would be in any way helpful for a poorly-named untagged MP3 from 1999

There’s even more radio stations. When one goes to commercial, I channel hop. :)

You haven’t answered my question. A baby is born who isn’t physically attractive and has physical disability. What do we do with that baby?

What exactly do you propose we do with the people who don’t have “good genes”?
