• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK Tips for a Winter Storm⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I tried the car mat trick once. They immediately shot out from under the tires when giving it gas.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are they different shapes?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Dang, that crumb is amazing. Did you bake that?

  Speak for your own feet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should speakers hum when they're connected to a stereo, but the volume of is turned all the way down?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Disconnect all copper input cables from your amp. If the hum stops, it was a ground loop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Removing the auto-off timer from my coffee machine⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re supposed to transfer the coffee to a thermos when 30 minutes is up. The coffee “burns” after that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Google Tracks and Scans Everything on Your Android Device⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not much I suppose. At least in case of Google, it’s governed by a single policy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Google Tracks and Scans Everything on Your Android Device⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the correct comment. Google sells access to user data, not the data itself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hundreds of thousands of Brits to have energy bill debt written off⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So why not buy shares to coup back some of the cost?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No shit! I would also run like hell away from that.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why are you running?!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨wax on⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you spread that stuff on wood or leather, it’ll last forever.

  Is there an XKCD What If about this? Sounds exactly like that territory.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Using Termux to create a tiny selfhosted hidden chat server with E2EE.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Was this coded on a phone touchscreen?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep, just imagine how bad the compression artefacts will be if they double the resolution but keep storage/network costs the same.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla sales plunge 40% in Europe as Chinese EV rival BYD's triple⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Cargo bikes cost 5 grand? That’s outrageous.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Indoor lettuce growing in 3D printed pots⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This, the amount of potential plastic ingestion from using these pots is nothing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Taylor Swift’s new album comes in cassette. Who is buying those?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m fuming at this too. Pictures with some amount of bokeh is the standard look unless you’re shooting landscape camera or using a telephone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ChatGPT 5 power consumption could be as much as eight times higher than GPT 4 — research institute estimates medium-sized GPT-5 response can consume up to 40 watt-hours of electricity⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder if that was meant to be interpreted as a large or small amount of power. Back then I thought it’s a somewhat significant amount but now it seems tiny.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Researchers asked AI to show a typical Australian dad: he was white and had an iguana⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Where is the sexism?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨nightshade⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Tomatillos aren’t self pollinating, they need a buddy plant. I have two side by side in my garden and both are producing fruit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How streaming changed the way you watch TV⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In the 90s you had to be careful not to touch the Nintendo while playing or else the game might crash. It was still better than today because you didn’t need an internet connection to play your games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How is spontaneous betting (as portrayed by comics and movies) supposed to work?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t Americans do this in real life? That’s what TV taught me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Protip:⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I once found a pair of barefoot running sandals online that were otherwise normal with rubber soles etc, but had a copper rivet inserted through the sole to facilitate that connection to earth.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who did this 😂😂😂⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And when Win95 booted, you exited into the DOS prompt, the true gaming environment at the time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The american crypto mafia⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You can borrow crypto there days?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At some point, kids watching older cartoons will no longer understand why putting a thermometer under a desk lamp was a way to skip school.⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Kids today don’t know that until quite recently if you turned on the TV and you didn’t get any picture, you could give the thing a firm slap on the side and it would work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone else hate knowing stuff and looking "smart"?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s nothing wrong with knowing about things. If I’m deciphering your question correctly, you need to learn to keep your mouth shut. People won’t pester you then.
