  Who cares about twitter?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨👴☝️I did that⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  In places like Saudi Arabia, gas is cheaper than water.

  Because it’s a fucking desert surrounded by salt water. Desalination is expensive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This place is a prison⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Study shots it is then, got it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Handy tip⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s probably not so odd, it doesn’t seem to have much of an effect on creative skills. A friend of me has aphantasia and she’s a tattoo artist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Handy tip⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Does this affect dreams?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Handy tip⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  No, I will imagine a rainbow farting unicorn singing Bohemian Rhapsody instead. I win.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Witcher Expansion? In 2026?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I loved Blood and Wine, I hope this comes close to it.

  Sus

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This looks structurally unsound.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We are so close⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  2000000 of anything sounds like a lot, so why not use prefixes to simplify?

  That’s why you either use kcal (or Cal) or kJ, but not Mcal (or kCal, which is easily confused with kcal) or MJ, because most things you eat and drink are between 0 and a few hundred kcal. This way you have one unit and keep it consistent instead of switching between kcal and Mcal all the time or saying awkward stuff like you ate something that only had 0.004 Mcal.

  Europeans use kilojoules to the same effect.

  While kJ is required in labeling in Europe most people still use kcal for everything. AFAIK the only country somewhat consistently using kJ is Australia (the one with the kangaroos).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We are so close⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  4 kCal is a lot. There is cal (small calorie) and Cal (large calorie), 1 Cal is 1000 cal or 1 kcal, 1 kCal would be 1 Mcal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI girlfriend⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If she really is my girlfriend she would share that RAM with me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gold⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Gold coating for connectors is nice. For everything else it doesn’t really matter, you get an oxide layer that prevents further oxidation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gold⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For what? Gold is a shit conductor compared to copper.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How is RAM size measured? Why doesn't it match the marketed size?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There is no kernel and no device drivers, MemTest86+ runs on bare metal and it moves itself around to test all memory, so it uses virtually no memory and should show all available memory.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon struggles with OLED⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Tell anyone who asks that you were just hanging out too much on X/Twitter. No wait, I think that’s worse than the truth.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon struggles with OLED⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably makes it worse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ew why are you like that⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Skeletons would be less gross without the fleshy parts around them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ew why are you like that⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  auto-immune issues are gross…

  Autoimmune issues at least know who the enemy is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ew why are you like that⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Noses are so ugly and they’re right in the middle of the face. Very hard to avoid looking at those ugly things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Modern lies⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t even get started on conditioner.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Deal with it, Libby.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  'Muricans gonna be happy as long as they can put a 'murica flag on something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We need to go back.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Greg, Pastor of the Promised End playing guitar???⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Cologne Cathedral, Speyerer Dom

  Bad examples, those two are they’re still catholic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am about to learn everything.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I studied electrical engineering, I had to do a mandatory internship of 10 weeks. Pretty sure the mechanical engineers had to do one too, but I suppose this varies a lot across countries.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is embarrassed at school⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe Anon meant 11st grade?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Got gifted an XBOX360 S. What now?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Wasn’t the RRoD only a problem of the first generation? OP has an S, it shouldn’t be affected by that problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rule⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Is that Bugsy?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Behold: A vibe-designed pcb⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The photo is as good as a 3d render of the PCB in KiCAD.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Behold: A vibe-designed pcb⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This reminds me of the people who trained neural networks on stuff before ChatGPT

  I did this with Buzzfeed clickbait headlines, not using neural networks, just simple Markov chains.
