Stop drinking milk.
- Comment on Scales that refuse to measure if the battery isn't brand new 2 weeks ago:
Exactly. They don’t want to provide them at all, but customers would get furious, so they cheap out as much as they can.
- Comment on Scales that refuse to measure if the battery isn't brand new 2 weeks ago:
Weird that you mention Panasonic, because that’s the brand I noticed it first with.
The Panasonic cells that come with a device are usually garbage, also the stuff you get on flee markets and cheap packages on the Internet.
They apparently have cells that hold up and weight noticeably more.
For the standard sizes like AAA, AA and D cells there’s only Duracell for me. They’re still miles ahead of their competitors.
- Comment on Scales that refuse to measure if the battery isn't brand new 2 weeks ago:
In my experience you can feel how good they are by how heavy they weight in your hand.

How did you manage to lose money on a 3 fund portfolio, if one of its strengths is that it never underperforms the market?
Something doesn’t add up. Sounds and looks like you gambled first and then went with a solid investment.

- Comment on Microsoft made me sign in on their Xbox Accessories app to update the firmware on my controller 3 weeks ago:
I had to Update my PS4 controller exactly the same way using their app.
I never had to update my Xbox controller. I get the standard 360 controllers, not the Xbox one.
- Comment on Is it cheaper to use a plug-in oil radiator to eat an individual room, or run the central heater to heat an individual room and living room? 3 weeks ago:
I thought they burn oil, but they just use oil instead of water.

Get a cheap thermometer to place in the room you’re going to heat and look how much it is off the thermostat and regulate accordingly.
Leaving one room cold while others are significantly warmer might raise the risk of mold significantly, because the warm air might cool in the cold room and condensate on the walls and windows, creating conditions for mold growth.
I look that every room is at least about 16°C as an absolute minimum in winter.

- Comment on David Fincher Giving ‘Fight Club’ a 4K Remaster for the Film’s 25th Anniversary 3 weeks ago:
The tone of the movie was achieved by often filming in candle light.
It was filmed on good analogue equipment that doesn’t need to be upscaled and fucked with to get the same results with a better resolution.
I’m hopeful they don’t ruin it.
- Comment on What's the term for someone that likes Jesus of Nazareth, but doesn't identify with church, religious dogma, or whatever? 4 weeks ago:
Ha, they weren’t a band though, just people that walked the crowd trying to convince people of jesus.
I was a ruthless teenager questioning their beliefs until they got pulled away from me.
They somehow couldn’t answer why I would need jesus, when I’m already doing all the things they claim they only do because they found jesus.
Today I’m different and don’t question people’s believes as long as they don’t start harming others in the name of their god.

I met a group that called themselves ‘Jesus Freaks’, but they were just annoying trying to indocrinate people on music festivals.

Journalism on CNN is alright, it’s the political commentors that have been paid off.

To address your point of toxicity, I didn’t get the impression. In fact it’s the first thing that popped into my head as well.
Bethesdas reputation is just that tarnished.

You’re missing that he quit during the development of that crappy game, which gives him extra points for judgement.

- Comment on My job offers "free" online consultations for mental health reasons. Every single "available" slot is during working hours. 2 months ago:
Good HR people see their employees as tools and they know that tools need special care to work properly.
I’ve only had one HR member in the 5 big companies I’ve worked for that was like that, though.
