  AU outlets sound pretty good by comparison. I’m sure there are improvements to be made, but I never have any of those issues.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨sus⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The show briefly showed Drummer in charge of a small poly crew.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Me when I zoom past traffic on my e-scooter⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It was more focused in the beginning, but I left them a while ago because it did become derailed as it grew. Reddit was never great at nuance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Me when I zoom past traffic on my e-scooter⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, but fuckcars is also a venting space so I didn’t want to get into technicalities. There are urbanist communities that do a better job of presenting the bigger picture.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Me when I zoom past traffic on my e-scooter⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s supposed to be the consensus of the “fuck cars” movement, but the name certainly gives the impression of being completely against cars. When your eyes are opened to how car-centric infrastructure has taken over our societies it’s hard not to be a bit reactive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Bring more warm stuff than you think you need. An extra blanket, beanie, thick socks (and spare pairs).

  Also sun protection. Broad hat and sunscreen. Even if you think it won’t be sunny.

  Wet wipes can go a long way with cleanliness.

  More drinking water than you expect.

  That should cover the basic comforts. For the rest it sounds like you can just go with the flow.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I LOVE POTATO SALAD⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Bake the potato. Add sour cream, chives, and a dash of seeded mustard to the final mix. Bacon bits are optional.

  This is how I learned to like a particular subset of potato salad.

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chocobo⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chocobo⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Friday Night Fights⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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 ⁨weeks⁩ 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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Claude gets depressed, calls the FBI and attempts to shut down a vending machine business after being filled with existential dread.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I can't believe it⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I can't believe it⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The £ is a bit of a giveaway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you use your blinker in a car?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When old people tell you about "the good old days" and how great things used to be⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rocky rock rocking⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  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?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Come one come all, it's time to unblock !conservative@lemmy.world and bring your best memes of conservatives!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  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?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨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.
