- Comment on After Apple originally announced the first version of Halo in 1999, Xbox apparently called Bungie and said "'Steve Jobs can't have that. We're going to buy you.'" 2 days ago:
Some things have survived, like CUPS…but yeah, their track record isn’t great.

What exactly in the above sentence would have suggested to the average person that they should Google search the troubles?
Or are you saying any time I see a nonsensical sentence I should just stop what I’m doing and google search the whole thing? - Comment on Had to look this up 1 week ago:

I’ve never heard of that bug. I know you can marry Aela, and if you do marry her you can convince her to give up lycanthropy. If you don’t marry her, you can’t convince her.
- Comment on ISP tricked customers about fiber optics being used in their internet service, German court rules — 'full fiber' customers found to have 'last mile' copper connections 5 weeks ago:
When the ‘last mile’ is copper, the ISPs almost always use xDSL for the data delivery.
The extra equipment increases latency, decreases reliability, and often precludes high upload speeds.
I’m on true full fibre, and I get 500/500mbps, with the option of going to 2.5Gbps. A friend of mine on the same ISP who is limited to ‘fibre to the neighborhood’ maxes out at 300mbps down, 90 up. - Comment on wax on 1 month ago:

Lol, no. But Rogan in his prime is still way more capable than the average adult.

Good question. I didn’t have occasion to test it. If we assume a good herd dog is roughly equivalent to Joe Rogan in his prime, I likely would have died though, yeah.

For those wondering, Casper continued to do well, and won ‘Farm dog of the year’ in '23.

I was 6’ tall in 7th grade, and no, I wasn’t held back. I’m still 6’ tall now. I didn’t do any vertical growing after the summer between 6th/7th grades.

Fair enough, I should have been thinking bigger.

The expansion is supposed to be happening everywhere at the same time, not just at the edges.
For example, tomorrow there should be more space between the Sol and Alpha Centauri systems than there was yesterday.
Our present understanding suggests that ‘normal’ universal expansion should not (in and of itself) result in anything moving towards us. - Comment on 5 tomatoes 2 months ago:
We kind of do have metric inches, insofar as machinists work in 'thou’s (thousands of an inch) But that’s kind of specialist

And isn’t 1kg of water 1L? And 1L is 1000 cubic cm? So a 10x10x10 cube?

The barycenter is different for each planet-sun (or any two object) pairing.
The earth and moon have a barycenter which is beneath the surface of earth. Likewise, the barycenter of the sun-earth pair is below the surface of the sun

Australia is pretty weird about porn too. For years their rules basically ensured all female porn actors get boob jobs and took scissors to their labia.

- Comment on Laptop dreams 3 months ago:
Agreed. I prefer a ‘proper’ dock like the HP ultra Slim dock 2013 or the Lenovo ThinkPad pro dock, where you set the laptop into it and you’re good to go, but times change and the current usb-c thunderbolt docks are reasonably decent now. One cable if your laptop doesn’t have insane power demands, or two if you use a laptop with >100W draw
