A sex doll is almost the definition of “weird about sex”
- Comment on Thank god "shit" is censored 1 week ago:
Too real
- Comment on uninvited 2 weeks ago:
Yeah okay, but I didn’t see that it was in a shit posting community because I was scrolling through ALL, and others seemingly didn’t either.
- Comment on uninvited 2 weeks ago:
You don’t see that on real shot either
- Comment on This is America 2 weeks ago:
Very clever. It’s the land mass, just like Eurasia.
- Comment on Psst, the Americans are asleep, post some eggs 2 weeks ago:
You can also by packs of 15, to thirds are possible :)
- Comment on Big Charging doesn't want you to know this one simple weird old trick 4 weeks ago:
The brightness is too bright, not the color. The brightness is always a choice by the manufacturer they could easily make it dimmer using the exact same components.
- Comment on The evolution of phones 4 weeks ago:
Bugs don’t have much “software” going on, and the reason for many lenses is only superficially similar. On phones you want different lenses to do different things, while the bug has different lenses to look into different directions without all the volume “between” eyes also being a lens.

Woodworkers don’t traditionally cut boards to 1 inch or 2 inches thick; they’re rough sawn to that thickness and then dried and milled to 3/4" or 1 1/2". Which are 1/16th or 1/8th of a foot, and both are divisible by 2 and 3 and expressed in a power-of-two fraction. a third of 3/4" is 1/4".
Okay but then that third is more of a lucky coincidence than a function of the measurement system. That’s like saying millimeters are good for woodworking because boards are traditionally milled to 18mm and you can divide that by 2, 3, 4, 6 and 9.

Okay I’ll bite. How do you take a third of an inch, and how is it better than in millimeters?

It does if you know German, at least to me.

Underfloor heating.
- Comment on Can't throw me off the scent 1 month ago:
Yes. The cables are intentionally made “too thin” so that they weigh less and are less stiff. The upside it it makes handling them much easier. The downside is they they get pretty hot pretty fast, and from there you have two options: Actively cool the cable from inside or throttle charging so the cable doesn’t melt.
- Comment on Can't throw me off the scent 1 month ago:
Just crimping a connector to such a cable is hard work. You really can’t compare that to traditional wiring. Many are also water-cooled.

It pays so little nobody would even think of doing it if they didn’t literally need to to survive.
- Comment on Help 2 months ago:
The UI looks exactly the same as it did 10 years ago. Using single window mode was always an option and only two clicks away
- Comment on Help 2 months ago:
You can’t scan things that aren’t lieing flat on scanner.
- Comment on The torque better not be too strong with this one 2 months ago:
You can use everything, but everything works badly. Even a fitting screwdriver will just randomly jump out after half a turn and scratch whatever you’re working on.
- Comment on The torque better not be too strong with this one 2 months ago:
It works, but badly. All my homies hate cam-out and love torx.
- Comment on Percentages 2 months ago:
Maths always tries to have agreed-upon unambiguous definitions of things, precisely to avoid confusion.
Laughs in ambiguous notation
- Comment on explosions 2 months ago:
It might well have started our as a sphere. But you also need to rotate pieces in the third dimension of you want to pay the sphere back together.

Bright creek? Sounds lovely!
- Comment on Balls 3 months ago:
This happened like a decade ago
- Comment on Don't Engage with Trolls 3 months ago:
That isn’t even generally true. Try mentioning crypto on the LKML and see what they think you mean.
- Comment on Half as Hot 3 months ago:
Do you also say 'the temperature in the freezer has doubled" when it goes from -12°C to -24°C in the freezer? Any thing else would be disingenuous.
- Comment on Half as Hot 3 months ago:
That’s not how it works, an “idle” CPU is already generating a not insignificant amount of heat. That why you measure the difference against ambiant air if you’re at all serious about it.
- Comment on Half as Hot 3 months ago:
Usually that should mean it cuts the difference ambiant and CPU in half. Anything else would just be stupid or a lie.

I’m not sure what kind of eggbeaters would survive smashing potatoes, but I’ll live in fear of them from now on.
- Comment on Infinite Suffering 4 months ago:
Yeah okay but by that logic you’d also have to quantize time and the suffering would end either way in a finite amount of time.
- Comment on Tough Shit 4 months ago:
That’s because it isn’t. As was just explained, the shape is pretty much done before the “extrusion die” sphincter comes into it
