- Comment on Ate there more galaxies in the universe, than stars that can be seen from Earth with the naked eye, or with a telescope? 2 days ago:
Damn. This is complicated. We can’t even count 1-10 trees properly. How did someone manage to count all 3 trillion??
- Comment on Ate there more galaxies in the universe, than stars that can be seen from Earth with the naked eye, or with a telescope? 3 days ago:
Where are they hiding all these trees? I just looked outside and saw, like, 5 tops.
- Comment on is it just my TV that goes black during replays during the world cup? 4 days ago:
I’ve not had that happen on either Crave or TSN, which should be the same feed.
- Comment on Ok to dual boot Linux and Windows 10? 4 days ago:
This, 100%. It’ll probably ruin your day but it won’t ruin your life.
- Comment on Ok to dual boot Linux and Windows 10? 4 days ago:
No doubt. I can’t just have had 20+ years of good luck though, right? I think the risk is relatively small.
- Comment on Ok to dual boot Linux and Windows 10? 4 days ago:
I’ve dual booted every version of Windows since XP on the same drive. I’ve never had the bootloader get nuked. Windows 11 just installed a bunch of big updates without a problem. You’ll probably be fine.
- Comment on Day 731 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 5 days ago:
First comment of the new calendar year! I’m officially immortalized.
- Comment on What does "Woke" mean to you? 1 week ago:
Very true. But the fact that it sounds black allows it to be used to efficiently encode white supremacy with plausible deniability. It’s probably why it’s still used by racist ghouls more than a decade after it was regularly used in the traditional sense. Like, Elon Musk starts ranting about the “woke mind virus” about six years after anyone was regularly using the term. And it really only returned to common usage for a few months.
- Comment on What does "Woke" mean to you? 1 week ago:
Hey now, don’t forget about the racists! It was adopted as a pejorative by the racist far-right because it “sounds” black.
- Comment on Is it even possible to drop 20 lbs in a month? Are there any diets for people who want to go to the extreme? Kind of like celebs do for roles? 1 week ago:
Exercise regimens and diets that actors follow are also usually not even intended to be sustainable. You alter your body for a few weeks for a role. It’d probably be a miserable existence maintaining it, and that’s what you’d have to do to maintain the results.
- Comment on Fuck you Whatsapp 1 week ago:
For sure. I wasn’t talking shit. Just commiserating about how burn-the-city-down infuriating this is in a jokey way.
- Comment on Fuck you Whatsapp 1 week ago:
I’ve proud of you for just being mildly infuriated about this. I’d be pure rage monster. You’ve got the patience of a saint!
- Comment on is the romantic period due, in any part, to the high alcohol content of their food ? 1 week ago:
Cows and peas were notorious drunks back then.
- Comment on Why does dried pasta have an expiration date 1 week ago:
It can go bad, but it probably wouldn’t make you sick. Fats can go rancid through oxidation. It wouldn’t taste great. Proteins can decay, impacting the structure and flavor. It would probably just break apart when you tried to rehydrate it.
If you were storing it properly - no moisture and an air-tight container - it’d probably take way longer than the best before date.
- Comment on hockey team owner selfishly engraves his whole family on the Stanley Cup 2 weeks ago:
But that isn’t true because they have minority co-owners who are not on the cup. Brett Jefferson, Marc Grandisson, and Bobby Farnham own 12.5% of the team but weren’t included.
- Comment on hockey team owner selfishly engraves his whole family on the Stanley Cup 2 weeks ago:
Assuming he’s done this very specific thing without evidence is far more speculative.
- Comment on hockey team owner selfishly engraves his whole family on the Stanley Cup 2 weeks ago:
Not from what I’ve read. But I’m not his accountant, so …
- Comment on hockey team owner selfishly engraves his whole family on the Stanley Cup 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think they have any relationship with the team. Just the guy’s wife and loin product. There are actual minority co-owners who aren’t on there.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Plus I wouldn’t touch some of these posts with a ten foot vote. Sick fucks.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
I down vote very little. Used to down vote more until I discovered the joy of not voting. Now I get off on being withholding.
- Comment on I am someone who works out daily and sweats a lot. Just doing laundry doesn't seem to adequately clean the underarms of my shirts. What are some ways to clean these areas of my clothing better? 3 weeks ago:
But it isn’t cooling (eccrine) sweat that causes pit stains. It’s apocrine sweat that’s released under stress. I don’t think that increases when you get in good shape. Probably decreases with your cortisol.
- Comment on Time to bring back physical media on PC? 3 weeks ago:
I’m all for people having discs if they want them but, man, I do not want that shit cluttering up my life.
- Comment on I am someone who works out daily and sweats a lot. Just doing laundry doesn't seem to adequately clean the underarms of my shirts. What are some ways to clean these areas of my clothing better? 3 weeks ago:
The Hyper Fixed podcast has an episode about this called “The Pits.”
TL;DL (iirc) don’t let stains set by letting dirty laundry sit for a long time is probably the most important. Don’t use a dryer. Try different solutions to pre-treat (vinegar/baking soda+water/dish soap).
- Comment on Seems like Trump waited for winter to escalate his ICE agenda but why did he go after Minnesota? People who are completely acclimated to frigid weather. 5 months ago:
Oh shit! If they take Thunder Bay, the whole country falls… ;)

I made the mistake of giving robo wingman a gatling turret.
- Comment on Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of January 12th 6 months ago:
I’ve done a few solo+robo runs with the small ship and it’s a great time. It’s a bit less chaotic because there are some ship effects (like fires and radiation leaks) that don’t get enabled until you have at least 3 players. I’m excited to see how the game develops over the next few months.

I’ve been having a great time playing Jump Space with some pals.
- Comment on Nvidia GeForce Now’s Time Limit Will Stop Gamers After 100 Hours Each Month 6 months ago:
You’re really just renting hardware. You own all your games and they aren’t tied to that service. The appeal is to play PC games without being on the perpetual hardware upgrade hamster wheel.
