Please remove your suggestion for buying 18650s on Amazon. They are full of counterfeit cells, or rewrapped cells with dangerously inflated specs.
Get lithium cells from a reputable vendor that tests the batches they receive. Illumn and IMR Batteries are two such vendors.
- Comment on 2x2 lumber at Home Depot is now 1.28x1.28. Nominal size is supposed to be 1.5 2 days ago:
That’s my plan once I find a used jointer for sale.
- Comment on 2x2 lumber at Home Depot is now 1.28x1.28. Nominal size is supposed to be 1.5 2 days ago:
Yeah, once I get my garage sorted out (and buy a jointer or make a Jig for my planer) I’m going to start getting rough cut lumber and finish it myself.
- Comment on 2x2 lumber at Home Depot is now 1.28x1.28. Nominal size is supposed to be 1.5 2 days ago:
Nah, lumber was already garbage quality at the big box stores before Covid.
- Comment on 2x2 lumber at Home Depot is now 1.28x1.28. Nominal size is supposed to be 1.5 2 days ago:
That’s not why there’s a nominal size vs actual size.
- Comment on 2x2 lumber at Home Depot is now 1.28x1.28. Nominal size is supposed to be 1.5 2 days ago:
they are then milled straight and square
Lol. Trying to find lumber that’s straight and square is a pipe dream these days.

I have only ever used fire ant specific pesticides. They’re just a problem in my area.
- Comment on Lightning bugs 4 days ago:
For us it’s fire ants. They’ll destroy your yard if you let them.
- Comment on They're the same picture 5 days ago:
Superman is a much better comparison.
- Comment on The “Require videogame publishers to keep games they have sold in a working state” petition just got a response. 1 week ago:
That’s pretty much always been the case. The difference now is that the licenses aren’t transferable.
- Comment on kids are gowing up faster and faster 1 week ago:
Kindergarten is often counted as school.

I often wonder how different the world would be if Hitler had used his power for good.

Maybe they meant prism, since a cylinder is technically one.

Tons of animals sleep for like 20 hours a day.
My dream is to be a house cat.
- Comment on Corals 2 weeks ago:
That last line kinda runs the joke.
- Comment on military industrial publishing complex 2 weeks ago:
Exactly. The worst that happens is they say no or don’t respond.

Well, depends on your reference point.
- Comment on They really want people to RTO 3 weeks ago:
It’s a Mac Book. Getting hot enough to fry an egg is a feature.
- Comment on Your Computer Isn't Yours: Apple stores every program you run, and when and where you ran it 5 weeks ago:
Except it is; you can add a batch script in your startup folder to disable it on startup. You could also just add the registry key that disables it.
If you’re actually a power user, disabling updates isn’t an issue.
- Comment on I'm working on it, ok? 5 weeks ago:
It’s not 6 months salary, it’s 6 months of expenses, although those numbers are likely close for most people now.
- Comment on Your Computer Isn't Yours: Apple stores every program you run, and when and where you ran it 5 weeks ago:
The problem is when those systems become part of a botnet.
Plus, you can just disable the update service if you want to leave your computer vulnerable to attacks.
- Comment on How do you keep your homes clean? 5 weeks ago:
I use a crosswave, and it’s disgustingly effective at cleaning floors. It’s basically a self cleaning Swifer wet jet.
I used it on floors that I mopped with a traditional mop twice right before, and the water was dark brown when I finished.
- Comment on Your Computer Isn't Yours: Apple stores every program you run, and when and where you ran it 5 weeks ago:
Most people have absolutely no need to understand how the systems they use operate under the hood.
If anyone does care to “reach up”, it’s not hard to find the steps to disable it on Google. But 99.9% of people aren’t going to do that.
- Comment on Your Computer Isn't Yours: Apple stores every program you run, and when and where you ran it 5 weeks ago:
Those notifications have existed for years. People don’t give a shit.
All you have to do is restart your computer every so often and nothing will be forced.
- Comment on Your Computer Isn't Yours: Apple stores every program you run, and when and where you ran it 5 weeks ago:
The forced updates are usually after the system has bugged the shit out of you to update for a week or two.
Plus, you can easily disable it.
- Comment on Your Computer Isn't Yours: Apple stores every program you run, and when and where you ran it 5 weeks ago:
Forced updates are a good thing for most people, though. The general population doesn’t know or care about infosec, so they’ll put off updates for months or years.
- Comment on My dachshund is trying to kill me 5 weeks ago:
We have a mentally challenged cat who does this, but his favorite thing is to flop on the floor in front of you when you’re walking.
But, he also fucks with the great Dane while he’s eating, so maybe he just wants to die.
- Comment on Switch performs better running games through an emulator emulating the switch than natively. 1 month ago:
Unfortunately, the copyright issue was about a decryption key, not about Yuzu providing a better product.

Wayfair isn’t going to get enough spam reports for Google to block them.

You can disable those in your account settings. It’s pretty simple.
