- Comment on Squirrel with a Gun - Announcement Trailer 2 days ago:
I think this is about it coming out of Early Access?
The developer published this trailer on March 15. Looks like they’ve made a channel for the game specifically and republished it there.

But doesn’t the ifixit kit have a sim extractor bit?
Yes, it does.
- Comment on Looking to build my first PC in almost 30 years; What should I be on the look out for? 2 months ago:
Honestly any parts you buy today probably won’t be much good in 30 years.
At least not when AGP comes to town.

T did S with P and then A (23 F) got into with G

This will be a fun new addition to my vocabulary.
- Comment on Doing the important work 3 months ago:
It’s actually called Johns Hopkins?
Named for Johns Hopkins, who got his first name from his mother’s maiden name.
- Comment on a story in two parts 3 months ago:
I’ve used the official Mastodon app, and Tusky. Both work well, but I haven’t really done a deep dive into features.
- Comment on RIPE, Regional Internet Registry, hacked because an admin account's password was ripeadmin 4 months ago:
That’s why I only use “*******” for mine. With the number, it’s more secure.
I guess it works because I can’t see the password.

Science isn’t about why, it’s about why not.
- Comment on Walter Koenig was bitterly disappointed about his role in Star Trek VI 4 months ago:
What a weird thing to say. I’ve always heard it described as one of the best TOS films and I always found the ending quite an emotional and fitting send-off to the TOS crew.
His feelings might be related to his plan for the sixth film involving the TOS crew being forcibly retired and then slaughtered.

Hey Minnesota diesnt have toes anymore
Technically, the new flag doesn’t come into use for another 5 months or so, assuming the legislature doesn’t stop it.
It does look pretty slick, though.
- Comment on xkcd #2869: Puzzles 4 months ago:
I’m sure they meant segue here
Correct. The amusing part being that “Segway” was intentionally chosen as a play on the actual word “segue”. Hence the phrase “linguistic backport”.
- Comment on xkcd #2869: Puzzles 4 months ago:
commercial segways
I’m amused at the linguistic backport that just occurred here.

- Comment on Best of both worlds 6 months ago:
Just buy a TV and don’t connect the wi-fi for the smart capability
Some of these TVs will find an unsecured network within range to connect to, so they can still bombard you with ads.
And (in my experience) they’re still slow as hell. I press “power on” and have to go pour a drink or something while I wait for it to boot up, as if I’m warming up a radio in the 1930s.
- Comment on How did people refer to clockwise movement before the invention of the clock? 8 months ago:
Yes but, how did people know that time went sunwise before the sun?
Back before the solar system was fully formed, it was called “gaswise”.
