Idk man. I’m a big Keanu fan and I knew as a kid watching The Matrix for the first time that he was not convincing as an actor. Entertaining, absolutely. Skilled, especially in action choreography, no doubt. But I feel like his roles in movies like the John Wick series (where you aren’t expected to take it super seriously) are the only ones where he doesn’t stick out next to even lesser known actors as heavy handed with his acting.

I think it’s supposed to say, “No Enviting Harassment”, like they don’t want you to envite that kind of behavior here.

- Comment on California just passed a law forcing mandatory DRM in 3D printers 2 weeks ago:
Say the entire country of America bans 3d printers without DRM, why would a German 3D printing enthusiast stop developing their firmware?
Note that I’m not saying these bans aren’t bad. They certainly can and will cause harm to the community as a whole. But I don’t see the argument of, “if it gets banned in x place, it goes away forever, for everyone”. There are thousands of projects that are already illegal and exist without issue online. Piracy is illegal but still easily doable, it’s already illegal in several states to 3D print certain gun parts but people still create the files and print them out.

Imagine if california made browser drm required: no more open source browsers
Why would that be the case? If I’m a programmer in New York, or Germany, why do I care if my open-source browser meets California’s requirements? If there’s any chance of litigation, can’t you just slap “not for use in California” on it and call it a day?

I genuinely think you might be talking to an LLM. Completely missing the analogy was one thing but supposedly being able to get around a 3D printer DRM with a bicycle is… an interesting proposition

Facebook marketplace wouldn’t let me search for an LSD for my car, I had to search for a limited slip differential, which gave me a ton of results for posts that had “LSD” in the listing.

I find it interesting that the post itself has mostly upvotes, yet every comment I’ve made explaining why I don’t like it is downvoted
- Comment on The layout of these floor tiles. 3 weeks ago:
Well, I wouldn’t say I’m outraged by it, given the community I posted it in. I’m not foaming at the mouth, I find the arrangement unpleasant and unnecessarily odd. Am I not allowed to think so?
- Comment on The layout of these floor tiles. 3 weeks ago:
The pattern doesn’t go on for terribly long (you can see a break in the pattern towards the left of the photo, where there is actually a set of 3 aligned rows instead of 4).
They could have accomplished the same thing in a more uniform way by placing the tiles in the standard half-interval or quarter-interval pattern across all of them. The only thing that makes any sense to me is that it’s quicker/ faster to align the tiles than it is to offset them, but they couldn’t have them aligned the whole way for the reasons you outlined.
- Comment on The layout of these floor tiles. 3 weeks ago:
The every fifth tile is what I have an issue with, tiles laid out at half-intervals or quarter-intervals on every row are common and perfectly fine. The chunk of 4 aligned tiles is very unpleasant to look at imo.

The pattern is stupid.

For what it’s worth, I went to college before I was ready and it didn’t do anyone any favors. I think college only helps form structure for those that already have a good foundation for it; there’s so much freedom that if you decide to just fuck off and do nothing, there’s generally no repercussions until you’re failing the class you presumably paid to attend.
If you go into it planning to use it as a tool to help build structure and find a purpose on your own, it can be good. But it’s not like the military or something where they’re going to force you to comply. I spent most of my freshman year in college sitting in my car in the parking lot because I had other stuff going on and I was too stressed out / anxious to go to class. Then took nearly 5 years to rebuild the courage to go back. If I just waited a year to sort my shit out before trying to go to college fresh out of high school, I probably would’ve had a degree by the time I started the second time.

That’s what I came here to say. Find a math/ science adjacent hobby (note: hobby must be expensive) to devote a disgusting amount of time researching, then use some of those skills to find a job. I like computers, 3d printers, and cars; I got a job servicing and installing industrial equipment.
Sometimes you don’t even have to partake in the expensive hobby. Just spend weeks reading about it on Wikipedia and forums and watch a few dozen hours of YouTube videos on it and you’re bound to get enough side knowledge to be useful in some field.

That’s funny you mention them. Before going to In-N-Out the other day I was curious where the nearest Shake Shack was (I travel for work and they’re in a lot of airports but I otherwise haven’t seen many), the closest one was ~25 minutes away vs 8 minutes for In-N-Out. I also don’t really like Shake Shack’s actual food as much, but their shakes are of course phenomenal (if not pricey).

I mean, they’re well known for being a Christian company. It’s not particularly surprising.
In a perfect world, I’d go to the left-wing-donating equivalent, but until they show up or In-N-Out stops being an otherwise commendable company (charity work for addiction centers and trafficked children, much higher wages than competitors, (mostly) clean and well maintained establishments), they’re gonna get my $9.98 when I don’t have the time or energy to make dinner.
- Comment on Absolutely 3 weeks ago:
I think their consistency has gone down. If you get a top tier In-N-Out burger, where the cheese has just started to melt and the bun was toasted just right, they’re pretty damn good burgers, would still be worth it if it cost an extra $2-3. The mid to low tier In-N-Out burgers are about worth their current price.

I read this post after ordering my trusty $9.98 double burger with fries at In-N-Out. I pray for the survival of this franchise.
