- Comment on Why is it so hard to buy the same toothbrush twice? 1 week ago:
buy 3 or 4 more pairs as soon as you realize the fit perfectly.
- Comment on Why don't these code-writing AIs just output straight up machine code? 1 week ago:
not necessarily, just as interpreting assembly to understand intent is harder than interpreting “resultRows.map(r -> r.firstName)”, additional structure/grammar/semantics are footholds that allow the model to form patterns at a higher level of abstraction
- Comment on if pure water is not conductive why would condensation be an issue for electronics? 2 weeks ago:
It’s not pure once it starts dissolving or corroding the metal or other materials.
And, if you can sufficiently dry the item (including inside of things), pure water is not a threat to electronics; it’s often used to clean solder flux.
- Comment on Could you use a stationary array of antennas to form an image? 2 weeks ago:
if you weren’t constrained on the tinyness of the array or its complexity, sure.
But how you gonna get a light-frequency signal down a conductor to the antenna? It would just be light you’d be powering your antenna array with.
so, I consider a DMD or a hologram a device along the lines you mention
- Comment on Should visitors to a country (tourist / visa-holders / people staying temporarily) have the right to criticize the government? When should an immigrant have the right to criticize the government? 1 month ago:
Unless a Democrat is in office, in which case everything the government does is the most disastrous, evil, horrible thing to ever exist.

This comment is on the level of DonaldJMonk. Amazing level of discourse here in /c/conservative.

LOL what a tryhard

Oh, he has the alt thing all figured out
- Comment on Trump reveals his tariff endgame in bombshell post as Warren Buffett is forced to issue extraordinary denial 1 month ago:
not “people”.
- Comment on Do people really think setting up domestic manufacturing in the USA is easy? 1 month ago:
They don’t “think” in general. Abstract concepts and long-term consequences do not trouble their minds.

Clearly, meeting in the middle at $500,000,000.50 is the right price
- Comment on How can I reject MAGAs version of america more then I already am? 1 month ago:
Connect people back to value systems instead of aggressively debating specific issues.
For example, when we think about Jesus Christ’s teachings, why are we erasing the nation’s historical decision to help the poor, sick, and hungry - an action executed by the most greedy, vain, and boastful people on earth?
- Comment on Should I withdraw/stop putting into my 401k? 1 month ago:
if you do that, the risk is that you miss out on buying at low share prices during the slump, which will be the lots that show the highest return when the market heads back toward normal.
The periods of fastest gains are usually immediately following a downturn, so selling your holdings when you hear bad news about the stock market going down, is exactly the wrong thing to do.
If you believe that The Trump administration policies represent a foundational destabilization of the American economy, which is a reasonable take, you might make the choice to diversify into more international funds.
- Comment on Is dns a good application for the blockchain? 2 months ago:
Can you briefly describe how you’d fit the two together?
- Comment on Why can’t HVAC be made smarter? 2 months ago:
I just set my ecobee to “auto”; the only possible inconvenience is the required gap between heating setpoint and cooling setpoint so it doesn’t constantly flap back and forth as a result over overshooting the setpoint. I have the gap set to 3 degrees and tend to shift it up and down seasonally (e.g. heating setpoint at 72 and cooling setpoint at 75 in the winter, heating 69 and cooling 72 in the summer)
Insolation and air infiltration based on wind conditions likely affect loss as much as outside temp, and the thermostat doesn’t know that (it could presumably learn to relate time of day, cloud cover, day of year (solar angle), wind conditions with that - but it would take 2 years to learn and its response would be opaque - most homeowners want bang-bang control since they understand it.

What a loser.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
His interaction and writing style is easy to recognize, under a previous username he boasted about having dozens of accounts and using them to flood/control narratives, and he posts literally identical links seconds apart under different accounts - easy to recognize.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
OP is one of the most prolific posters here, operating several accounts and sometimes posting 50+ times a day.
His salient trait is that he wants to control the narrative but claim “it’s just an article”, and “I don’t want to be attacked”.
The reason he feels attacked is because he made an absolute ass of himself and his inauthentic behavior became very obvious.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
OK, how many do you post, across all your sock puppet accounts?
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Even if they do, you’ll flood them out with your 20-30 garbage posts per day. Like its your job.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
And most of the media went right along with wording such as “tariffs on China” rather than than “tariffs on US buyers”
- Comment on What's the Standard Operating Procedure for if someone steals your phone while you were using it and its unlocked? 2 months ago:
maybe get a lanyard to reduce the snatch risk
- Comment on Alarmists Bemoan Climate Research Funding Freeze 3 months ago:
It was 20 degrees above average here in Georgia last week, yesterday we had 6 inches of rain in a few hours. Human-caused climate change is real.
Did you know we’ve increased the CO2 concentration by nearly 50% since 1930?
CO2 was known as a heat-trapping gas over 110 years ago. Have you seen this 1912 newspaper excerpt?
- Comment on DOGE Discovers $1.9 Billion HUD Money ‘Misplaced’ By Biden Administration 3 months ago:
It’s 0.4% of of Musk’s gluttonous fortune, and 0.02% of the total federal budget.
With transparency measures being dismantled by the hour, and “mission aligned” talking-point-driven outlets repeating government statements without question, how will you know if this turns out to be an erroneous conclusion ?
- Comment on Why are there silly license requirements? 3 months ago:
There are 14 GMRS frequencies. How soon do you think they would become unusable if even 10,000 casual users in a metro area all went and bought 50W radios?
- Comment on Do you think progressives understand the difference between legal and illegal immigration? 3 months ago:
Hey cow boy. Progressives are generally more educated and aware, so yes. Meanwhile, most conservatives don’t understand the difference between, for example, asylum and undocumented border crossings; or that “encounters” doesn’t mean “entries”; or that coming on a vacation visa from South Africa or eastern Europe and starting a business or doing modeling work is illegal.

- Comment on How can a US citizen invest outside the reach of the federal government? 3 months ago:
Well, they can seize a lot of things because of reciprocal anti-terrorism money laundering agreements with most of the countries you’d want to trust with your money.
resources aimed at wealthy people offshoring their assets might be useful to you
- Comment on How can a US citizen invest outside the reach of the federal government? 3 months ago:
well, first you would need to set up a brokerage account outside the US…
For now, though, you can invest in an Ex-US ETF, Vanguard has one that is essentially the total world stock index minus US companies.

Have you noticed they’re always paired with messages encouraging voter apathy and disparticipation ?
