- Comment on Why do bikes have a solenoid? 4 days ago:
Because a starter motor draws a hundred amps or so. The solenoid ensures that closing the circuit is done as quickly as possible to limit sparking - and also keep the sparking as far from the driver’s fingers as possible. Also, it’s closer to the starter motor and the battery, so the cables are short and don’t waste as much power as if they had to snake through the firewall - not to mention the PITA of routing monter copper cables through the firewall.
- Comment on Kids Say They're Using Photos of Trump and Markiplier to Bypass 'Gorilla Tag' Age Verification 6 days ago:
Of course they do: when you show Trump’s face to an AI, it thinks his date of birth is April 20, 1889.
- Comment on Tesla Reportedly Has $800 Million Worth of Cybertrucks That Nobody Wants 2 weeks ago:
The Cybertruck has always been a vehicle designed by a childish mind for equally puerile customers. Now it’s also a strong indicator that you might be a bit of a Nazi if you own one.
So yeah, I don’t expect it to sell too well, as most motorists are adults who tend to dislike Nazis, or would prefer it if they didn’t have to worry constantly about their vehicle being defaced by non-Nazi adults.
- Comment on Instagram CEO testifies about competing with TikTok: ‘You’re either growing, or you’re slowly dying’ 2 weeks ago:
Both can die and nothing of value would be lost.
- Comment on Live Updates: White Smoke Signals That a Pope Is Chosen 2 weeks ago:
Either that or the clowns in red and white are all having a vaping cloud competition.
- Comment on Google shares slump as Apple exec calls AI the new search 2 weeks ago:
Another reason not to use Apple.
AI search can fuck right off.
- Comment on A Most Sensitive Subject in the White House: Where Is Melania? 2 weeks ago:
I don’t buy this.
Let’s not pretend Melania Trump wants to distance herself from her criminal husband: she’s just as much of a grifter as he is. The MELANIA cryto scam, the $40m to sell her story for a book… She’s making off like a bandit too. Those two go together like a house on fire and I have no more sympathy for Madam Golddigger than for Sir.
- Comment on A Most Sensitive Subject in the White House: Where Is Melania? 2 weeks ago:
She might have been deported back to Slovenia by ICE. Possibly sent to a Salvadorian or Libyan concentration camp. It’s just that her orange sugar daddy hasn’t noticed yet.
- Comment on GlobalX, airline used for Trump deportations, gets hacked 3 weeks ago:
Nice.
- Comment on President Trump declares May 8 as WW2 Victory Day marking first public holiday commemorating our win against the Nazis 3 weeks ago:
I hate to break your narrow two-party view of the US political landscape, but I’m neither a Democrat nor a Republican - nor a communist or other nonsense party from yesteryear. They’re all one party: the party of filthy rich corrupt politicians, and I don’t root for any of them.
But your fascist racehorse is beyond the pale.
- Comment on President Trump declares May 8 as WW2 Victory Day marking first public holiday commemorating our win against the Nazis 3 weeks ago:
There is a small difference: none of the people the Jan 6 thugs wanted dead deported people without due process or arrested judges.
Your guy IS a traitor and a dictator, and he WILL be toppled for real reasons.
- Comment on President Trump declares May 8 as WW2 Victory Day marking first public holiday commemorating our win against the Nazis 3 weeks ago:
Then it’s really important that the Trump regime be toppled on that very day too.
- Comment on Americans Really Dislike Trump. But They’re About to Truly Hate Him. 3 weeks ago:
Too bad they didn’t do that before the election…
- Comment on 'The Equalizer' Canceled After 5 Seasons at CBS 3 weeks ago:
The only true Equalizer is Edward Woodward.
- Comment on The Return of the Pebble Smartwatch Is a Sign People Crave Something Unique 3 weeks ago:
Exactly.
People don’t root for feature-poor stuff because it’s unique but because the features it’s missing - that you want - preclude the hardware and the hardware maker from slipping in features that you don’t want.
- Comment on The Return of the Pebble Smartwatch Is a Sign People Crave Something Unique 3 weeks ago:
I think it’s also a sign that people want a device that doesn’t come from Big Data, isn’t online and isn’t designed to put them under surveillance and invade their privacy.
- Comment on Deranged 4 weeks ago:
That doesn’t mean you’re divine.
- Comment on Deranged 4 weeks ago:
I was onboard until I saw the “divine being” and “holy tongue” bits. I’m a technophobe, not a religious nutter.
- Comment on Leavitt says Trump has ‘revolutionized’ the way a president communicates 4 weeks ago:
I often wonder if she’s the dumb broad she looks liks and she really believes the nonsense she spews out, or if she wants to be a true professional and she carries out her WH duties to the best of her abilities regardless of what she herself thinks.
- Comment on Vintage 4 weeks ago:
Also, as cars designed by immature adults go, it might just look better than the real thing.
- Comment on Karoline Leavitt slams ‘full-blown crazy’ Democrats supporting illegal immigrants 4 weeks ago:
I pity the poor girl in a sense: she’s only 27 and one of these days, after Trump and his cronies disappear or have their collective ass Nuremberg-tried for high treason and she gets older and more level-headed, shell realize who she decided to roll with, and shell never find employment ever again in any decent capacity, as future employers will remember who was the American 4th Reich’s mouthpiece…
- Comment on They Criticized Musk on X. Then Their Reach Collapsed. 5 weeks ago:
They chose to sleep in somebody else’s bed and they shat it. What did they expect? Twitter isn’t some public agora where free speech is guaranteed or even expected.
Also, social media influencer drama is pathetic in general.
- Comment on Who should america be more concerned about MS-13 or Russia? 5 weeks ago:
Ms-13, Isis, Blm and that was fox news
E-xactly.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
All it says is that his physician is afraid to lose his job. Or be send to a Salvadorian concentration camp perhaps.
- Comment on Who should america be more concerned about MS-13 or Russia? 5 weeks ago:
Americans should be concerned about Trump and his goons first and foremost - the “homegrown” criminal gang.
Seriously, had you heard about MS-13 before Trump?
- Comment on Dark chocolate Toblerone to be discontinued in UK due to ‘changing tastes’ 5 weeks ago:
It’s a major blow to forgetful frequent flyers too: giant Toblerones are famously what you can always find in any airport to buy someone you completely forgot to buy something for and pretend you didn’t forget.
- Comment on Dark chocolate Toblerone to be discontinued in UK due to ‘changing tastes’ 5 weeks ago:
Also, hurting your mouth with hard triangular bits of chocolate has gone out of fashion.
- Comment on Mark Zuckerberg personally lost the Facebook antitrust case 5 weeks ago:
He should have given more than $1m to Cheeto in Mar-a-Lago. Cheapskate…
- Comment on How Elon Musk's favorite news influencer is capitalizing on his clout 5 weeks ago:
The only reason Musk has influence is because he has an audience on Twitter. The only reason he has an audience is because people are willing to listen to what he has to say.
The questions is: who the fuck is interested in what Elon Musk has to say?
Unfollow him - or whatever ignoring someone on Twitter entails, I’ve never been on Twitter so I don’t know - and Musk will find himself deprived of influence. Just like that.
- Comment on Nigel Farage Calls for ‘DOGE’ Teams to Root Out Waste and Inefficiencies in English Councils 1 month ago:
Hey! Look at that bunch of bozos across the pond wrecking essential state services without having anything to show for it. Let’s do the same in Britain!
I could understand Nigel Farage being this misguided 2 months ago, perhaps. But in April 2025, advising anyone to create a British DOGE is akin to setting fire to the country and throwing the fire extinguisher in the bin.
What a fucking moron…
