Maybe it’s colloquially short for light-parsecs 😅

But you get more zeros with Ah 😂

Stop living in the past, it’s Saturday.
- Comment on wrong again 5 days ago:
Seems like it’d be a lot cheaper to buy a chicken farm in the long run 😅
- Comment on Did people experience doom scrolling with newspapers and magazines? 6 days ago:
It’s a bit different when you have access to every newspaper in the world and a machine that hand picks all the stories from them that seem most likely to trigger an emotional response from you specifically 😅
- Comment on What are some of the things someone permanently relocating away from the US should be aware of? 1 week ago:
Maybe also check your current countries extradition treaty 😅

Sorry I accidently insulted your mother or something 😅
- Comment on Nintendo has sent a DMCA notice to Ryujinx forks 1 week ago:
Probably just a case of the corporate lawyers haven’t noticed those ones yet.
- Comment on What's easier to shoot, a bow or a firearm? 1 week ago:
They don’t always need to do a full draw for every shot though, especially at shorter ranges. E. G. In this video by Lars Anderson he does some very quick short range shots and doesn’t look like he does a full draw for them: youtu.be/BEG-ly9tQGk
That said, firing a gun still seems like it would take way less skill and training, except maybe something with a lot of kick like an AWP and deagle? 😅
- Comment on Is there a less stinky way to cook broccoli? 1 week ago:
It’s because they’re overcooking it.

Will be very disappointed it got abducted to be given to someone who can’t spell “you’re”

I hope this idea is patented by a patent troll who has no intention of licensing it out for a reasonable cost…

Shift+Delete all the things first, regret their choices later
This tbh, can always go to the downloads window in Firefox and redownload it if regretted.
- Comment on GO FORTH AND SEIZE YOUR DESTINY 2 weeks ago:
It’s made from sandstone, not oatmeal.
Maybe the one we have now is a fake and it got swapped out with the real oatmeal one before England stole it 😂
Baking powder wasn’t invented until the 1800s.
They could’ve used trona 😅

Sounds like the downloads folder and recycle bin with extra steps.
- Comment on Why don't states in the US come up with their own health insurance program? So people can pay into it prolly less then what they pay now and the state put the money in a bank and use the interest for 2 weeks ago:
Which also makes it more expensive, as insurance gets cheaper the more people are on the same provider
- Comment on Why don't states in the US come up with their own health insurance program? So people can pay into it prolly less then what they pay now and the state put the money in a bank and use the interest for 2 weeks ago:
Also it’s only for people with limited income and resources.
- Comment on Why do most Americans use an iPhone? 2 weeks ago:
it is a little cheap regarding the opinion of 300 million+ people
Actually it’s a little expensive, and mostly talking about around 150 million of those 300 million people 😜:
In the United States, there were over 150 million active iPhones in 2023
- Comment on Merry weekend yall 2 weeks ago:
Could be other contaminants in the weed causing some issues.
- Comment on Bumper crop 2 weeks ago:
Looks like they’re already dead, would probably be satisfying to set fire to them 🔥😅
- Comment on Valve have just updated the Source 1 SDK on GitHub to the latest code based on Team Fortress 2, effectively making TF2 code source available 2 weeks ago:
Also this is just source code, not the assets (at least as far as I understand it).
Could probably just require the official game to be installed too and load the assets from that directory, or might even be able to use the a shared folder, but not sure if tf2 uses that, i remember l4d and css and hl2 used to.
- Comment on Where can I find information on disinformation? 2 weeks ago:
These youtube videos dissect some good examples of various forms of disinformation :
- Comment on Doppler 3 weeks ago:
someone else can figure out the kinetic energy of the car and why the whole continent just exploded…
It’s not on fire or melting the asphalt beneath it, so it must be really aerodynamic, and have really low rolling resistance tyres…

A quick google and I found this: Irish Homing Union

- Comment on It'll happen to you! 3 weeks ago:
Interesting: in that sense 4k would have slightly better brightness gradiation: if you average the brightness of 4 pixels there’s a lot more different levels of brightness that can be represented by 4 pixels vs 1, which might explain the difference perceived even when you can’t see the individual pixels.
- Comment on It'll happen to you! 3 weeks ago:
While it is pretty subtle, and colour depth and frame rate are easily way more important, I can easily tell the difference between an 8k and a 4k computer monitor from usual seating position. I mean it’s definitely not enough of a difference for me to bother upgrading my 2k monitor 😂, but it’s there. Maybe I have above average vision though, dunno, though I’ve never done an eye test.
- Comment on Driver caught doing 122mph on 30mph road as UK’s shocking speed records revealed 3 weeks ago:
Yeah not saying it was an appropriate speed for the previous area 😅 (except if the road was closed for a rally) just maybe explains how it was physically possible.
