I try to notice it but often fail.

If it was ‘he’ nobody would have questioned it, which kinds gives me pause for thought.
- Comment on get out of my head 1 week ago:
100%. I think just a vertical flip of the image would do it. Otherwise anatomically difficult to pull off.

If they were rare, they would be unbelievably expensive. We’re so lucky they are cheap.
- Comment on Salt is very salty. Sugar is not that sweet. 2 weeks ago:
Differences between salt are mostly textural. Trace minerals can change the flavour, and people do sell flavour infusions and mixes.

Letters of marque have to be issued by their legislature, no?

Yeah, I’d imagine treated wood wouldn’t be great.

Does this significantly damage the wood?

And will last vastly longer, without the hassle of replacement and without having to deal with intermediate decay stages.
- Comment on US demands access to tourists' social media histories 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, I’d worry that they’d ask for my social media and get confused and angry.
Haven’t been to the USA since 2016, unlikely to ever go again. :(

It’s the taste of childhood, really. I still get cravings for the worst fake cheese on the whitest of bleached bread.
- Comment on Preloading File Explorer in Windows 11 Doubles RAM Usage, Offers Minimal Speed Boost 4 weeks ago:
I also agree, but … it’s an attitude that gets you in trouble fast and it only works once. Throwing hardware at a problem never works for very long, and hardly ever gets you the order of magnitude increases that reevaluated algorithms and data structures will get you. No amount of hardware gets you past an O(n^2) for long.

I think the English word is pretty much ‘halava’. There’s no equivalent word so we just use that.
- Comment on similar to the word of mouth post, what game did you not expect much from but loved it? 1 month ago:
Yeah, btw what really got me into it was the Scrapyard mod set. Splitsie has a series on YouTube about it, and also some very good tutorials.
- Comment on Windows 11 to add an AI agent that runs in background with access to personal folders, warns of security risk 1 month ago:
The basic idea is that it can stem from the incel world, the attitude that if they can’t have women, they can become them. It can be a way to affirm hypermasculinity, not challenge it.

Just a bit misgendery for my tastes. Also some right wing people have glommed onto the whole femboy thing. There is 100% a femboy-fascist pipeline.

I’m not sure what’s worse, the greybeard stereotype or the socks.
- Comment on Trump tariffs are helping drive U.S. beef prices to new highs 1 month ago:
In the plus side, higher beef prices will do more for climate change than any amount of hectoring and moral argument.
Beef should be way more expensive than it has been. It’s a luxury, not a staple.
- Comment on 3D printed Linux Mint emblem to cover up the illuminated Apple logo on my ancient MacBook 1 month ago:
Totally. We use ours for tv, it handles h264 without issue still.
- Comment on 3D printed Linux Mint emblem to cover up the illuminated Apple logo on my ancient MacBook 1 month ago:
That’s pretty great! We have a 2008 macbook that could probably use a similar treatment. Probably still wouldn’t be able to handle h265 video though…

- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 1 month ago:
It’d be interesting seeing Microsoft in a position where the vendor isn’t automatically making their drivers for them. It’s a massive advantage they have.

- Comment on I keep waffling on Proxmox. Sell me. For or against. 1 month ago:
I’ve been using Ganeti for like 15 years now, and I’m not sure what proxmox offers besides a nice GUI. I know how Ganeti works and getting up to speed on a new one doesn’t seem super interesting to me. Is anyone here familiar with both?
