- Comment on What's the weirdest argument you've gotten into with someone? 13 hours ago:
I spent almost two decades as a game developer and many of those years were spent developing professional lottery products.
I argued with a buddy for over 5 years about the gamblers fallacy and various other aspects to do with probabilities.
See, in his mind, he could somehow claim to understand the underlying statement that past events are not a predictor of future events… but he’s still insisted that if he monitored the patterns, he could somehow break through this truth.
I could never get through to him that there was no system. You’re just fucking gambling dude. Zero progress… and I refused after a while to discuss anything to do with probabilities.

You know dude, I’ve been there myself.
My sister’s been there, my whole family’s been there, I dated a gastroenterologist for 7 years, I created a computer-based training program which was first year medical-level for a research drug for reflux.
This dude’s just driving the conversation down to the basest, most surly Facebook boomer-esque sniping. It’s completely obnoxious, it misrepresents the actual medical facts behind the symptoms and treatment. One line cynical statements are just thought terminating and I detest them.

Your redundant comments feel like some sort of anti-intellectual flex.

Ulcers, occasional reflux, and GERD are different things.
This man’s research specifically centered around ulcers and the cause.
- Comment on For the love of the game... 1 day ago:
This guy ingested H. Pylori to prove ulcers are caused by bacteria

20+ years ago Colgate bought and shelved a patent for an antibacterial mouthwash that only targeted bacteria that erode enamel.
- Comment on Is trying weed edibles worth it? 2 days ago:
Weed can completely and irreversibly damage a developing brain. Wait until you’re at least 26 before you fuck with THC.

“care deeply about Windows”
Fuck face… Not one person cares deeply about Windows… We just want this giant shit heap of bloated code to respect BASIC user needs.

So like, the war is on drugs, or the drugs are on drugs? Halp

Dude’s not going to be burning anything out, his furnace can’t even adequately ventilate his house as it is right
- Comment on How to find a fan that blows 90° from intake? 2 weeks ago:
Get Styrofoam blocks and plug vents seasonally. In summer plug the downstairs ones so AC feeds upstairs and drifts down, opposite in winter to make air heat the lower levels and slowly rise.

My buddy called-in Sportchek when they were advertising skis for like $900 but “marked down” to 200! They had to stop that practice as a result of his report.

- Comment on How do you fight doomerism/pessimism in these trying times? 1 month ago:
Disengage.
The amount of doomer shit you intake is directly proportional to time spent online listening to the opinions of imbeciles.
So basically walk away.
- Comment on Playback speed past X2 is now a YouTube paid feature 1 month ago:
For me personally, until a month ago I had no idea why people would prefer to watch at faster speed.
Then I was assigned 10 hours of training at work, and it was all the worst fucking videos you’ve ever seen, no editing for clarity or brevity, points being repeated at nausea. Repeated footage. And it’s not like I could skip vast portions of it, I never knew when a little piece of key information would be snuck in which was in the knowledge test.
Finally said to myself fuck this and I put it on 2x. I found it kind of life-changing in that moment and I’m going to consider using faster watch speeds from now on.

Frying is the transference of heat through oil or fat. Air “frying” is just heating.

That’s more informative, thank you.
I’m not pretending to be any kind of expert, as you can tell from my initial inquiry I’m not familiar with this, I was only responding to the way it was portrayed to me in comments.
- Comment on Disco Elysium - The Final Cut is free to claim on epic games for the next 24h 2 months ago:
Because it sounds like they were employees not IP owners

That’s a bit of a different presentation than “stole” just saying.

- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 3 months ago:
It’s my opinion that celery is both delicious and disgusting at the same time.
If you get very deep green celery, it’s horrid.
If you get light green celery, or you peel off the outer deep green fibers, it’s delicious again!
And the young leaves are absolutely sweet and delicious as all get-out.
But yeah I could see why a lot of people dislike it.
