I’m relying on my inheritance from my mum to get a house, but that’s mostly from selling her house, I’m sure her actual savings will be quite low by the time that comes around.
- Comment on yeah, I game on APUs 3 days ago:
I spent my early gaming years breaking games to make them run on lower than minimum settings so I could maybe get 15fps.
Now I’m a performance snob and get annoyed seeing it dip under 100 at 4k

I live in Australia, 7 figures mostly won’t cut it for a life of not working either. 10m will cover it almost anywhere though

Everything important with the exception of a single email address that probably can’t do that much damage anyway is auto logged out. My bank, being only 90% fucking stupid forces a logout after 5minutrs of inactivity on their web portal.
It’s be annoying to reset all my passwords, that’s about it.

You might be surprised how much thermite won’t be impressive here. Napalm sure, sticky fire everywhere. Thermite is hard to put everywhere and really doesn’t want to light. Hard enough I’m not sure I have anything in my house that could, although idk how hot a lithium fire gets. Probably not even close.
- Comment on My brothers Chuwi laptop had major problems. Now he got a wal-mart gift card for the price he paid for the Chuwi. He is eyeing an HP laptop with 256gb ssd. Is that the same as a regular harddrive? 3 weeks ago:
Can confirm, current high end laptop has taken a beating into walls doors and floors, minor body damage with scraped plastic is the only problem. Hardware is surprisingly resilient

I have a trash internet connection so I just play whack-a-mole with internet privileges. Windows update? No. NVIDIA? Not a chance. Google? How is that even on my computer? But also nah.
Turns out most things use fuck all resources without internet

- Comment on Washer estimated "1 minute left", took 13 minutes to finish 5 weeks ago:
Mine has no idea what the fuck time even is. 1 minute almost never shows up, normally it stops at 4 minutes left. But 4 minutes doesnt mean it’s nearly done, it might be about to pop this very second but also half an hour seems like a good time.
I’ll put the fucker on for a 30 minute cycle, have a shower, get dressed and come back to 29 minutes. Idk why it even bothers with a timer if it’s literally never accurate.

When I got my key stuck in the ignition I turned it hard enough the metal part of the key twisted a lot. At least it didn’t damage anything not already broken.
I’ve worked on my own car 4 times, started 1 fire and 1 almost fire.
I’ve stopped working on my own car now for related reasons lmao

Presuming any kind of skill. Some of us are the kind of idiot that makes cotton wool dangerous.
- Comment on No excuse 1 month ago:
Either way I’m blind if there’s a big fucker next to me at the start, and it’s about 1/5th of the car moved to see either way. I guess that’s car dependant though, it’s only my direct rear visibility that sucks and sideways back is fine but I’ve definitely been in cars where trying to see what’s next to you and a bit back is hard.
- Comment on No excuse 1 month ago:
Australian, I actually took a photo to show my point today. Technically didn’t reverse back because it’s back to back parks and you can drive through the first to be in the second, but same end result.

Sorry about it being a discord link, that’s just the most convenient thing for me right now as apparently I can’t just upload the image to the comment. Or I just don’t know how, either way. Can’t see shit to my left, I just happened to know there wasn’t anyone coming from when I got in the car, but if I didn’t it would be a massive pain in the arse despite leaving the park forwards.

So is 999%
And I’ve just learned percent is under two layers of keyboard menus so that’s just fantastic.
- Comment on No excuse 2 months ago:
We must have different parks, if there’s a car next to me regardless of facing forwards or back, I can’t see shit til I’m half out the park anyway. Part of that is most cars being twice the height of my previously normal sized car I guess, so I can’t see through their windows anymore.
- Comment on No excuse 2 months ago:
Significantly less turning going in forwards, with the exception of parallel parking where both are pretty even, but some people see you pass a park and go right up your arse even though you wanted to back in.
Also car has great visibility forward and fuck all backwards, rear view mirror is like double the size of the rear window (in the reflection, not side by side).

Cats tend to be exactly inside the box, I would expect them to park inside the lines every single time.

A lot of religious people aren’t inherently dangerous, whereas an active nazi or pedo is likely going to end up hurting someone.
Not that I overly disagree, fuck religion.
- Comment on Steam's new disclaimer reminds everyone that you don't actually own your games, GOG moves in for the killshot: Its offline installers 'cannot be taken away from you' 2 months ago:
Valve is holding up the bar not because valve is great but because everyone else is so shit. I’ve had a ton of issues with steam throughout the years and it’s just… nothing else is better. I was actually excited for the epic store launch and it’s… Well, not the worst, because being the worst is a challenge some places take seriously, but certainly not a good steam replacement especially for low data people.
Steam may not let me control the updates to steam, but it won’t force refresh my library causing ping spikes all the time as an intended feature.

My underscreen one is excellent and works 99% of the time. That still leaves it significantly worse than rear fingerprint sensor. RIP the best unlock method.
