So you can’t criticize a movie if you haven’t made one.

- Comment on Bosch dishwasher needs app for certain features 2 days ago:
I bought a new Bosch a year ago to replace my broken Bosch. The mandatory wifi to a cloud service to access the same features that were a physical button on my old Bosch made me incredibly angry. This was the highest end Bosch dishwasher they sell. There is absolutely no excuse.
Consumer Reports is dead to me. They didn’t mention it at all.
- Comment on A conundrum 5 days ago:
Second line of credit or mortgage, its still debt.
Your suggestion translates to “Don’t worry about home repairs, just take on more debt to pay them.”
- Comment on A conundrum 5 days ago:
after that you can tap into home equity and repair say a roof.
There’s no, “tapping into home equity.” There’s only extending the mortgage with more debt.
20 years ago my sister did all sorts of home improvements that she said were free because she was “tapping into equity”. Now she’s nearing retirement and complains she still has giant mortgage payments.
- Comment on A conundrum 6 days ago:
I’m guilty of ignoring my water heaters. Had my backup start to leak and it cost $1500 to replace. So I immediately bought a new anode rod for my primary tank. Drained/flushed it and replaced the old rod which was completely gone. It was an easy task but you will need a cheap impact wrench, 1 1/16" socket and chain link anode rod to make it easy.
It’s something you need to do every couple of years. But I never do it.
- Comment on The USA prided itself on a nation of immigrant, heck even the Statue of Liberty says it. When did immigrants (US citizens from the old world) become anti immigrant and why? 1 week ago:
There’s a great fictional movie called Gangs of New York that covers the real life anti immigration riots that happened in New York City during the civil war.

Hold on, lemme go ask chatGPT what I should think about this subject.

I like to fill the bucket with water to cool the blade when cutting metal.

Freshers? That’s a new word.

Translation?
- Comment on Why don't they have simpler names for brain disorders, where perhaps even the person suffering the disorder might be able to remember the term themself? 2 weeks ago:
There are too many terms. If you simplified every medical term you’d end up with too many words that were almost identical but meant very different conditions.
I see it like thinking you could compress all possible number strings to a simpler number that’s easier to remember.
- Comment on Do farts at least nominally increase the overall temperature of the room in which they are extruded? 2 weeks ago:
They were part of you that were already at a constant temperature. It would distribute the heat quicker but the overall heat transfer is the same.
One factor that changes this is that because your body maintains a constant temperature, releasing heat faster would cause your body to generate more heat to compensate.

It is in no way a bomb. If this was the 1970’s, it would be the same as changing the combination on the safe and not telling anyone the combination after being fired.

Compound interest.

It was the weasel that went into the collider. We’ve always been in the same timeline. It’s the weasel that’s now confused and very angry.

If someone was claiming they were working on making a game that contained all games
Minecraft?
- Comment on Next time I swear bro 3 weeks ago:
That’s like saying “All Modern Games are a dead end. We’ve had Gouraud Shading since 1971.”
Just because all 3D games use a “dead end” shader doesn’t mean they can’t be a multi billion industry. Games look great using primitive shading algorithms that we know are a dead end to achieving photo realistism.

- Comment on Intel Outside: Hacking every Intel employee and various internal websites 3 weeks ago:
I’m constantly amazed by the misuse of JavaScript. The web worked fine when it was all client side requests and server responses. JavaScript was for rare edge cases. Then it became the default for every webpage.
This type of JavaScript has absolutely no business being on the client side where it can be modified by the end user.

It’s not clear at all from that pic that there’s a boot print in the planter. I see several small holes in the second planter that looks like squirrel digging.
- Comment on Arkane Devs Call For Microsoft To Stop Working With Israel 4 weeks ago:
Boycott AMD, Intel and ARM. They have offices in Israel like Microsoft and sell Israel the hardware used to kill Palestinians.

That’s incredible!

Yes not passive but you’re not thinking big enough.
- Comment on CATL announces sodium batteries that cost as little as $10/kWh, a massive price reduction compared to the current average of $115/kWh for lithium-ion batteries. 4 weeks ago:
Google says 80% compared to up to 95 for LifePO4. Extra 15% cost for waste heat during charging vs 10x cheaper battery.

The video says it’s 175 kwhr per kg compared to 185 for LFP that’s already used in some cars. Gold standard is Lion at 300. Volumetric is the same ratios.
So it’s usable in cars and absolutely immediately useable in homes.
- Comment on The New Yorker Asks: Is the A.I. Boom Turning Into an A.I. Bubble? 4 weeks ago:
Also the number of supported users does not scale linearly with the number of CPU cores
US population has grown 25% from the year 2000. Other than Anti AI detection, everything worked on the hardware of 25 years ago. Single core performance has gone up more than 25% over the past 25 years.

“State services” is database lookups and billing. Back in the 90’s, I supported 10k users (1.5k active at any moment) on a Pentium 3 with 512MB of Ram.
