I promise you we have better space that city sidewalks for carbon sinks.

Carbon sinks? Dude, people are planting trees in cities for the shade.

- Comment on The Biggest Box Office Bombs of 2024 1 day ago:
So you think they should include Madame Web in their list and use a different metric for it than the others? Or what?
- Comment on The Biggest Box Office Bombs of 2024 1 day ago:
Well, whatever metric you’re using isn’t what this article is using because the budget and box office earnings of Kraven on Wikipedia match. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kraven_the_Hunter_(film) It doesn’t seem right to use a different metric just for Madame Web.

When someone says Megaopolis doesn’t have obvious symbolism You believe that entitles you to the riches of my Emersonian mind?
- Comment on The Biggest Box Office Bombs of 2024 2 days ago:
Oh, don’t get me wrong, some of them were obvious. Like when they threw the literal Make America Great Again hat.
- Comment on The Biggest Box Office Bombs of 2024 2 days ago:
If you believe Wikipedia has incorrect information and the budget of the film was actually $120 Million then I encourage you to find a source and edit the article. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madame_Web_(film)

Their video content is pretty good.
- Comment on The Biggest Box Office Bombs of 2024 3 days ago:
Megaopolis and Babylon are weirdly similar to me and I can’t really explain it. I enjoyed Megaopolis and would watch it again. Especially Wow Platinum lol. Such a weird movie. So many scenes were like “damn, I feel like this is supposed to be symbolic but I don’t know for what.” Sort of the opposite of “sometimes the curtains are just blue” lol.

Wikipedia seems to imply Madame Web (which is indeed an early 2024 movie) made $500k.
- Comment on Recommendations for "girly" games? 3 days ago:
How the fuck do you recommend DDLC when OP says non-violent?
OP, DDLC is a fun game, but there’s a reason it’s tagged psychological horror. It’s not just a meme. I won’t elaborate in case folks wanna try it out. I do suppose it is a “girly” horror though.
- Comment on Pearson complaining about using Linux to access my course material 3 days ago:
Damn! If only we had some sort of technology that was OS independent and served as a way to view content and run code written for it without having to recompile for every platform.
I am of course talking about web browsers. Which I’m betting this screenshot is from.
- Comment on Consumers make their voices heard as Microsoft's huge venture flatlines in popularity 1 week ago:
Gemini is such a joke. I long pressed my phone’s button while driving to send my wife a text with voice to text. Gemini pops up and is like “I can’t do that”. Then I ask it to switch back and it gives me instructions on how. I can’t do that while I’m driving though. So annoying and useless. Couldn’t navigate anywhere either or okay my music.

500 kHz is outside the amateur radio bands. With a general license they’d be able to use 472 to 479 kHz. With only technician they could use Morse code (only) on 3.525 to 3.600 MHz.

Pasting my comment here from another on this thread.
I’ve been using Cachy OS and Marvel Rivals, Deep Rock Galactic, Deep Rock Galactic Survivor, Crusader Kings 3, and UFO 50 have all worked out of the box including multiplayer. Turmoil and Helldivers 2 required a “tweak” which was switching back from Cachy’s version of Proton to the default Steam one. (Turmoil had minor graphical glitches and Helldivers 2 wouldn’t work on multiplayer until I did that.)
Linux gaming is worlds better than it has been in ages.

- Comment on Infinite Monkey Theorem 2 weeks ago:
The thought experiment is about how wrist watches are incredibly complex and hand crafted machines so if you dissemble one and put all the parts in a clothes dryer you won’t get a watch back. (I believe given infinite time and random movements you would eventually get a watch.)
- Comment on Infinite Monkey Theorem 2 weeks ago:
Worse, creationists use the “watch maker’s paradox” as evidence of creation. Same idea but watch parts in a washing machine.
- Comment on Infinite Monkey Theorem 2 weeks ago:
The funny thing is, if you truly have infinite monkeys, it doesn’t matter if they’re using it correctly or not. There is an infinite amount of them.
- Comment on Pens in Space 2 weeks ago:
I misread you as saying pencils are dust free.
- Comment on Pens in Space 2 weeks ago:
You’re just raising the question about why the pencils cost over $100 if all pencils are dust free. What was so special about them when the special pens were so cheap?
- Comment on Pens in Space 2 weeks ago:
It makes more sense if you think of it as enflammable. Indent and indebted at examples of this “in-” prefix. merriam-webster.com/…/flammable-or-inflammable
- Comment on Infinite Monkey Theorem 2 weeks ago:
If you have an infinite amount of monkeys and they’re all typing truly randomly, then an infinite number of them would get it correct on the first try. Which is sort of weird to think about lol.
