I haven’t encountered Brendan yet, but I look forward to yet another reality-bleed.

Forget the turducken. This year we’re having brachiotyranotriceradilophovelociturducken.

You should hear the sound they make. Thumping bass that you feel as much as you hear it.

Soju and fried chicken is also an excellent option.
- Comment on Jennifer Lawrence was quoted implying that The Hunger Games was the first female-led action movie ... today I want to introduce you to one of my favorite exceptions: The Long Kiss Goodnight. 3 days ago:
I wasn’t allowed to watch “violent” movies as a kid, so I missed a lot of action classics like RoboCop, Rambo, etc. But there were a few exceptions we had on tape so they got watched a lot. Long Kiss Goodnight, T2, Alien,… I rewatched this one again a couple of years ago and was shocked at how violent it actually is. It finally clicked that my single Mum was making an exception for iconic kick-arse women.

I just got into Cyberpunk 2077, and too many parts of it are leaking into the real world. This could be a Delamain interaction.

True, but it already felt like a cheap shot. The highland cows are another one.

- Comment on Do you use your blinker in a car? 1 week ago:
It’s actually easier to just use it every time. Deciding whether you need to is cognitive load that’s better spent on other things.

- Comment on Madison Square Garden’s surveillance system banned this fan over his T-shirt design 3 weeks ago:
I will never understand why people with power are this petty.
They probably think it’s a huge flex, but it makes them look like the most pants-shittingly immature little cry babies.
Real power is not devoting brain cycles to things that should be beneath you.

Around here we still have them, and they provide free wifi. My home is almost close enough to pick up the signal from one in the main street.

Pebbles are small enough to fit in your mouth. This is clearly a stone.

- Comment on Why there are few video games with a lot of mythological pantheons? 4 weeks ago:
Which mythologies would you like to see represented?
I think this would apply to all media, and probably just comes down to some traditions being more familiar and having more cultural impact in general.

- Comment on Which game is it? 5 weeks ago:
I kind of miss when No Man’s Sky was an endless, empty expanse. That sense of loneliness and futility was an emotional experience that it doesn’t have now. It’s become a much better game, no doubt, but putting time and careful planning into that long crawl towards the galactic centre felt right.
- Comment on If I use winrar to compress 80gb of tv and movies. Then can I compress it further by making it an iso? 5 weeks ago:
As most have said, doubling up compression won’t usually get you much.
However, video compression is usually designed to facilitate performance of sequential reads because videos are typically played beginning to end, so theoretically there may be ways to compress them more if you’re willing to make sacrifices there.
I doubt RAR is the way to do it, though. It just hasn’t been designed for this kind of data.
Maybe there’s a video compression format out there designed specifically for archival storage, but I’m not aware of it.
ISO won’t get you any further compression, that’s for sure.
You could certainly test this out yourself and let us know if you get any space savings.
- Comment on You guys have to end it 1 month ago:
If you’re on a steep hill, yes sometimes you need to use the handbrake to get moving. This had to be demonstrated when I got my licence, but to be fair some manual vehicles now have automatic hill start. Still a good technique to learn because it doesn’t always activate.

When progressivism moves toward conservatism, conservatism moves toward regressivism.
- Comment on Are "Lifetime" Cloud Storage Plans scams? 2 months ago:
It doesn’t seem to make sense, but I gave pCloud a chance years ago, and I’ve been using the lifetime plan ever since. I feel like I got my money’s worth, so not too worried if I eventually have to migrate elsewhere.
- Comment on Permabanned from Reddit? 2 months ago:
I think they want real users because they want to sell their data for LLM training, but that might mean purging accounts that are “too political” to be of use.

They called him Rich-tard for short.
But he got the last laugh when rich 'tards ruled the country.

The trick is for those other AIs to reserve a few bucks, so they can repeat the process but this time cash out early. Keep repeating until everybody wins.
