I wired up my office, and when I speed tested it, the shitty Ethernet adapter in my USB-C dock was slightly slower than just using wifi.

Are “AI cat videos” a euphemism for “right wing propaganda”?
- Comment on Move over powered milk, it onion time 1 week ago:
That sounds like a tea egg. Century eggs are cured in an alkaline solution for weeks to months. Both taste fine.
- Comment on Is it still there‽ 1 week ago:
If it’s not medically necessary, yes. Not all wisdom teeth need to be removed, but some do. It’s kind of like foreskin in that way.
- Comment on Is it still there‽ 1 week ago:
It’s not mutilation if it’s done to a consenting adult. This applies to both vasectomies and circumcision. Sometimes there are medical reasons for either procedure.
- Comment on Is it still there‽ 1 week ago:
I can’t speak for people suffering from genital mutilation, but a flaccid penis with a foreskin is like a little stress relief fidget toy. You can squish it around a little, even through clothing. This does not feel sexual at all if you’re not already aroused. I’ve seen threads online where women do the equivalent ba idly squeezing their own breasts.
- Comment on Do people vote just by name recognition on the ballot or do they vote for the issues? 2 weeks ago:
That’s because the different shapes kind of group the signs, so you can see at a glance whether the sign is a mandate, a warning or purely informational. Well, that’s how European signage works anyway. US signage shapes appear a lot less organized.

The UK is way ahead when it comes to banning speech. So the knowledge transfer can go both ways!

It’s typing out “fuck you” every time, so not exactly a demanding prediction…

No need. It knows what the next letter is at any given time. In fact, we can just type out the whole phrase with one key press!

He’s a lot less intimidating the moment he needs to turn his head.

I wouldn’t trust a public computer running Linux either.
- Comment on Title goes here 1 month ago:
I needed to print something in a hotel today, and their computer was on Windows 7. No, I didn’t log into anything from it.
- Comment on Genius idea. Somehody should share this with the antivaxxers 1 month ago:
Even if it was just the adults, them not doing it eliminates herd immunity and puts others at risk.
- Comment on Park benches don't "open" until 10am 2 months ago:
Some people need to hit rock bottom to get the right motivation, others just need a chance to get back on top. We shouldn’t accommodate the former at the expense of the latter.

It’s a lot easier to get sober if you have housing and basic needs covered.
- Comment on Doorless showers just make a mess and everything ends up wet 2 months ago:
And I’m saying the code is there independently of doorless showers. The code was like that way before doorless showers were a thing.
In fact, if your shower has a door and the only drain is inside the shower, you are required to leave a gap under the door to allow water to flow into the shower.
- Comment on Doorless showers just make a mess and everything ends up wet 2 months ago:
It’s still code if your shower has a door. It’s not unusual to stick your washing machine in the bathroom, and even if you don’t, the toilet could always overflow.
North America is really the only place I know of where bathrooms are not required to be waterproofed throughout.
- Comment on Doorless showers just make a mess and everything ends up wet 2 months ago:
I haven’t checked the code in every country, but I do know it’s code in Norway, and you see a lot of the same building techniques in the rest of northern Europe.
Why do you think it is not code?
- Comment on Doorless showers just make a mess and everything ends up wet 2 months ago:
That’s still worse than just having a door. The squeegee helps, but it’s not perfect, and I hate stepping on wet/damp floor after drying my feet. I mostly see that style in hotels or bathrooms which are too tiny to fit a proper shower. Whenever not space constrained, I’m pretty sure they’re just there to save money.
Building code in most if not all of northern Europe require bathrooms to be a proper wet room, meaning waterproofing and a drain for all parts of the bathroom. This means either having two drains, or to allow water to flow from the rest of the bathroom to the shower. Guess which alternative is easier and cheaper to do?
- Comment on Yes, I use Debian stable. How'd you know? 2 months ago:
They exist with a round dial as well. Personally I don’t measure my tire pressure, ever. My car will tell me if one is low, and I’d go to a gas station to fill them to spec. Although lately I got a little compressor which goes in the cigarette lighter, which just lets you enter the desired pressure. I use that for the car, bikes, footballs and whatever else needs to be pumped to a given pressure.

Pretty sure you can sort by activity. Also, most stuff on here was on a different platform first.

Probably bundled a whole chromium like every other app.
- Comment on Drop your unpopular opinions here because c/unpopularopinions is filled with popular opinions 2 months ago:
I understand them (and even if I didn’t I could work it out from context), but it absolutely wrecks my reading speed, since I basically have to sound it out in my head instead of just reading the word. I hate SMS-style phonetic abbreviations for the same reason.

I’m not a member of either populace, but as far as I can tell from online discourse the male tinder experience would depend heavily on how hot they look.

Pretty much all untreated wood turns grey when exposed to prolonged sunlight?
That being said, I don’t like that look in flooring. On a weathered fence or log cabin it’s fine.
- Comment on They eliminated cashiers and keep the profits. NY Democrats are fighting back. 3 months ago:
Which they will. It’s a very obvious thing to do. If any of them wanted, they could lower their prices independently of any such law, but they don’t, because they want their margins high.
