  That’s a weird pride flag

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a desktop and there’s no reason for it to constantly be drawing power. It boots fast enough even with fast boot disabled that it’s not an issue for me.

  I leave my work laptop on, but it lives on my desk at work. Not my power bill not my problem. I still have to regularly reboot it because windows can’t update without reboots.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Literally every single time I use it. I only need it to be on when I’m using it, and I don’t use it every day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure, but my keyboard doesn’t have a power button.

  Yep! Feels like going through a rom pack or multi-cart and only finding good games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #2990: Late Cenozoic⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re getting awfully close to sounding like the psychos who say that all fossils are invented or placed on earth by the devil to confuse humanity about the age of the earth.

  Most mounted dinosaur skeletons contain real fossils. Many museums have diagrams showing which are real and which are recreations of fossils that were missing or too damaged to mount for each specimen.

  Paleontologists can determine what the missing fossils looked like based on other specimens and looking at what they have in context of other similar species that have more complete skeletons.

  You also have to have a license for tv…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Preference⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  For people looking for a reason for large bottles other than less frequent purchases. Large bottles with many pills produces less waste than the same number of pills in multiple containers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ISPs tell Supreme Court they don’t want to disconnect users accused of piracy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Personally I think AI training is free use. I also think AI is a fad and generally used as a way to scam people.

  However, artists complain about AI because it pulls from their business (in theory.) Artists generally don’t complain about piracy by the end user because the artist is usually still credited in someway (signature watermark etc.) and piracy doesn’t generally stop other people from paying for their art. AI in theory steals their jobs.

  The main people who complain about traditional piracy are the executives of companies that purchased copyright on artist’s works through contracts that do not favor the artists.

  It would also mean being involved in the most lawsuits, unfortunately.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨pringles⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  ENIAC was built in 1945. And Cray was building supercomputers in the 60s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How it felt to watch this awesome console fail back in the day⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Mega drive would have sounded cool when it came out, though it’s perhaps the most dated sounding name of the bunch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's honestly good advice, but I much prefer original hardware when possible.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It helps that emulators have caught up in the last ten years. When I started collecting consoles there wasn’t a good emulator for the Saturn and even emulating the snes on a mobile device with similar power to a pi was inaccurate at times.

  I have less and less reason to want to use original hardware other than nostalgia.

  Well, just wait a while and Virginia will shrink again, and you will be in another state.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oh the wonders of technology⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the point is that the formats have basically been unified into fully digital formats. Though we still use Bluetooth speakers to replace boomboxes and audio stacks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hooooooooooooooooooot⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But it can be contained and condensed for reused.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨sun time⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There are craters from volcanic activity in the northern part of the valley. There are dunes. It’s the hottest driest place in the US because of the Sierra Nevada rain shadow. The effect of rain in the valley is dramatic when it does rain.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Snikt⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In a fair world we would have gotten a Lobo movie starring Lemmy Kilmister in the ‘90s or Rob Zombie in the ‘00s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New 'Mind-Reading' AI Translates Thoughts Directly From Brainwaves – Without Implants⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There are fewer verbs than nouns I’m sure our brains prioritize accordingly

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “May be” is the point.

  From the Forbes article you cite:

  “KEY QUOTE

  ‘It’s important to emphasize that these findings are observational, and they provide insights into patterns within our dataset. However, they do not establish a direct cause-and-effect relationship,’ lead author Dr. Anees Bahji, at the University of Calgary’s Cumming School of Medicine, told Forbes.”

  Drinking anything other than water, breathing anything other than air, and eating just about anything have been shown in some study somewhere to be harmful in someway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Know you're character⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I have no issue with the Warriors description. His name is literally bad Mario and he is yellow.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Methheads⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  A “meth whore” is a prostitute who accepts meth as payment for sex. I am not assessing the John’s perception of the prostitution’s attractiveness, but the prostitutes perception of their own attractiveness as per the rest of the post. The prostitution by necessity must believe that they possess some quality that is worth buying. Surely a willingness to have sex with whomever is willing to pay is part of that, but attractiveness is one of the core components of sexual desirability. I find it hard to believe that meth whores do not believe that they are perceived as attractive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Methheads⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Never heard of meth whores?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google is ready to fill its AI searches with ads⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  So they are a metacrawler that has additional first party crawlers? That’s actually pretty neat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Think anyone would notice?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe we just stick them together in the middle of the Atlantic?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would you seal this gap around kitchen sink plumbing?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  In that case it’s even better. Check your jurisdiction, but you might be able to get a contractor to fix it then charge your landlord.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨4 Roman Emperors Who Died in Battle⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re right, I’ve just always found it funny that he was able to get away with playing sick every time something dangerous came up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would you seal this gap around kitchen sink plumbing?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Wrong foam insulation resulting in overheating or toxic/ flammable off-gassing, wrong amount of foam, attaching something conductive to the copper pipes, accidentally nicking a wire in the wall, I don’t know about a billion things could go wrong, and you don’t want it to be your fault if it does.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would you seal this gap around kitchen sink plumbing?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If he messes it up based on internet research and burns the building down, or causes some other harm to a tenant then he’s going to have a lot harder time dealing with the insurance claim than if he hired someone whose job it is to do that kind of thing.
