Also, a necessary warning about the water at Jerry Garcia’s house.

I usually joke “The Polish in me knows how to drink, the Irish in me doesn’t know how to stop.”
- Comment on Duolingo CEO on going AI-first: ‘I did not expect the blowback’ 2 weeks ago:
I said “I sent a video recording of this a month ago and received confirmation. Do you not have that?” and got back “I never got that.”
“Alright, got it. Thankfully it’s not my problem anymore but you know where yours is.” and left it at that.
- Comment on Anon misses the classic design 4 weeks ago:
Stacks nicely in a backpack? You know how much crap goes in a medium ruck? How’s Jenkins gonna find my stash of disk nades under my spare ammo and ‘field stripped’ MREs? No, I need my grenades quick access, on my chest next to the repurposed saw pouch full of rip-its.
- Comment on Amazing. 4 weeks ago:
I once had a broken headlight and also broke pockets, so I grabbed some packing tape and made a new one. I was at an AutoZone and the guy looked at my car, looked at me and said “that won’t last past the first storm” to which my response was “it’s held up for three months. I’ll take my chances.” and it held up until the seals on the transmission blew out after driving it across the country again.
- Comment on "Official" Russian Military game depicting invasion of Ukraine released on Steam as Yunarmy propaganda 4 weeks ago:
You’re not going to find a weapons maker with an unproblematic background (part of the problem with sourcing arms for your SRA meetup) but IMI certainly has a bad one.
They’ve also got a number of totally iconic weapons though. Separate the art from the artist and all that.
- Comment on I am not a builder… but that does not seem right 4 weeks ago:
Use stud finder /beep move it two inches /still beep/ move it further /still beep/ move it again /still beep/. “Stud finder must be broken” Get another stud finder /still beep but the whole section again/ “I need to know what’s behind this wall before I just bolt this TV to this fucking thing” /cut away the drywall/ “I better make this look like something stupid for fake Internet points…”
- Comment on Canon requires an account to transfer images from your camera. Forces you to sign up using Chrome. 4 weeks ago:
Thank you for the version number! I was just lamenting not being able to find it.
- Comment on Canon requires an account to transfer images from your camera. Forces you to sign up using Chrome. 4 weeks ago:
pro-NATO is like how people used to say “Lincoln Republicans” to say “Well, I don’t agree with what the party is doing currently but I will continue to vote for them.”
- Comment on Canon requires an account to transfer images from your camera. Forces you to sign up using Chrome. 4 weeks ago:
Yeah but the app also does remote control / viewing. The transfer is a bonus of being able to quickly do the transfer and text it to someone right away.
Of course, none of this matters because I don’t have Chrome on my new phone and can’t even create the stupid account if I wanted to.
Also, can’t find information about which version they rolled that out in and get an older version.
- Comment on Steamdeck or.... 4 weeks ago:
As someone with a primarily physical Switch library and more than 100 Switch games, the Switch cartridges aren’t even satisfying to put in and harder to store or display than consoles of old.
Even the 3DS just feels easier and more substantial. So, despite the Deck’s lack of a cartridge slot, I don’t even think the Deck really loses.
- Comment on Mario Kart 64 got finally decompiled! 1 month ago:
There’s already ROM hacks for MK64.
- Comment on Even Starfield's community patch modders are growing 'disenchanted' with the sci-fi RPG, as volunteers depart in droves: 'If nobody comes forward, we may have to retire the project' 1 month ago:
But the aliens were humans who came before/after you because humans made a thing that made them destroy the universe so everything is stuck in a time loop where humans have to… Stop other humans from fielding too many stars or else they figure out how to loop the star field again.
- Comment on Trump tells Canadians to Elect the guy who'll make them the 51st State of US [Canadian elections today] 1 month ago:
No, it’s terrible. Your English is better than his. Just because there’s some sliver of sense doesn’t mean he even did it on purpose.
- Comment on Trump tells Canadians to Elect the guy who'll make them the 51st State of US [Canadian elections today] 1 month ago:
Commas can be used to identify parts of the sentence that can be cut out e.g. “… wisdom to cut your taxes in half … If Canada becomes the 51st state.”
Now, here, the comma was used for a list so it shouldn’t have been used that way but I’m sure his meth head brain probably got lost partway or the AI bot that mimics his speech patterns is just that dumb.
- Comment on How come id Software / Bethesda have never sued Bungie / Microsoft over the similarity between Doomguy and Master Chief? 1 month ago:
I think the only thing I remember about Reach is the last mission anyway but thanks for the heads up.
- Comment on How come id Software / Bethesda have never sued Bungie / Microsoft over the similarity between Doomguy and Master Chief? 2 months ago:
John Halo and the Marines are Marines and not Soldiers. Though, I’m not certain Halo ever shows a non-Navy Servicemember in 1-4.
- Comment on Academic email signatures 2 months ago:
That fact that you mention Three Houses make me think you mention that because you wanna bang your students.

This is terrifying to link to after what you just said
But they are great boobs and that’s what’s important. I do this not for me, but for us all.

Yeah, first part of any fresh Fox setup is changing the default search engine.
- Comment on Amazon is Canceling Orders After Tariffs Destroy Profits 2 months ago:
I cancelled my Prime in boycott (and brokenness) ages ago… And yet, my account still gets free shipping. My partner looks at the same item, shipping charges but for me it says “Free With Prime” yet I click on the free games or video and it says “Sign up for Prime.”
So, when we absolutely need to order something from them, I do it because it takes a little bit more from them.
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 2 months ago:
Because I’ve been using it for over 20 years?
- Comment on Can't Afford A Nintendo Switch 2? Buy A Switch 1, Nintendo Says - Insider Gaming 2 months ago:
Yeah, Microsoft had a similar stance around the Xbox One timeframe! It worked out great for them.
Just don’t talk about it, Nintendo, that’s a better PR strategy.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
To be fair, a lot of those women were probably traumatized in the same wars their husbands were (for different reasons, obviously) so they probably trauma bonded.

We do not have a legal president and we don’t have a legal precedent for this case.
- Comment on Hardcore gaming 3 months ago:
Those are over ear closed backs with thicc pads, no way are those going to be comfortable to one ear. Some Grados, maybe, but again the more important thing is hearing things in the room, not the game.
- Comment on Hardcore gaming 3 months ago:
You wanna be able to hear if your partner needs anything. Ear buds would at least mean that they can only put one in at a time.
- Comment on Hardcore gaming 4 months ago:
I can see bringing the Deck, like you might be sitting there for at least 24 hours, you don’t need to be sitting there holding their hand the whole time…
But the keyboard? The mouse? The HEADPHONES? It’s not like you’re in an extended stay. You’re getting that baby out and going. You don’t need all that.
- Comment on If you shop by unit prices, double check the math! 5 months ago:
It’s great value peanut butter. It is easier to clarify that as a semi solid oil than actual peanut butter. Feel free to be jealous but that’s not ‘good’ peanut butter. It’s better than nothing but only just.
- Comment on Hulu quizzing about the ads played 5 months ago:
I cancelled Prime over a year ago and for some reason I still get “Prime” delivery. I don’t get the games, movies, or Twitch stuff but if I order something it shows up faster than when my partner does.
So, I don’t hate that about Amazon… Everything else keeps me from ordering there unless there’s no other options.
