- Comment on Elon Musk’s Boring Company Is in Talks With Government Over Amtrak Project 2 weeks ago:
more of biden’s infrastructure bill money to steal… congressionally approved and allocated money. early site prep has already begun, even.
letting muskrat anywhere near this has great potential to really fuck-up the entire northeast corridor for a decade or two–or longer, for passengers and freight.
- Comment on There Is No ‘Energy Emergency,’ a New Lawsuit Claims | In suit, 15 Dem states called Trump’s declaration illegal & federal agencies are rushing permits for fossil fuel projects under false pretenses 2 weeks ago:
well the tech billionaires didn’t “donate” that money to the “inauguration fund”. it was investments. plentiful and cheap power for data centers is one of the returns they expect.

make the overhead train a 12 lane freeway and it’s any random metrohell in texas.

- Comment on OMG no please don’t call me. 4 weeks ago:
when a company puts its reps at a disadvantage by always being grossly understaffed and having hour+ wait times… who’s the ‘horrible’ people? the company or the caller?
- Comment on A completely useful compulsion I have. 4 weeks ago:
it’s just sensible. if you take from one end, you run the risk of unexpectedly grabbing the ‘light end’ and accidentally dropping the partial carton on the floor next time you take it out of the fridge.

- Comment on *Doesn't look like anything to me.* 4 weeks ago:
all entirely whole pepperoni slices and far too many of them to be mass-market or chain pizza… and no burnt bits anywhere. it wasn’t even modeled after a real slice.
- Comment on If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed? 4 weeks ago:
and if you manage to evade physical harm, sickness will surely catch up with you. the black death was not a ‘one and done’ pandemic. it lingered and persisted here-and-there for centuries after the widespread pandemic (known today simply as ‘the plague’) that claimed 50m+ lives, including half of europe’s population at the time

- Comment on What's a highly-rated, critically acclaimed TV series that you couldn't get into, or have no interest in? 5 weeks ago:
the first season of ones like survivor, bb, tar, were better than every season after. before all the strategies and stuff got worked out. it was ‘new’ to you and to those on the shows. now it’s just same-old, same-old every single season.

works great when verbally giving someone a phone number… almost always messes 'em up. instead of usual cadence of ‘312, 867, 5309’… try something different like ‘312, 86, 75, 309’ or ‘3128, 675, 309’.
- Comment on What's a highly-rated, critically acclaimed TV series that you couldn't get into, or have no interest in? 5 weeks ago:
the office. the documentary/handheld camera style cinematography is nauseating to watch. see also: parks & rec and similarly-shot titles.

ddg isn’t really any better with that exact search query. all ‘fashion’ related items on the first page.

the new app-flavoured notepad sucks.
go into its settings, turn off everything.
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 5 weeks ago:
rar has recovery records. i know it’s a somewhat niche feature, one far more popular in the ‘olden days’ especially in certain uh… ‘venues’… but it’s something i’ve always used when making backups with it.
- Comment on Do it 1 month ago:
i dunno which it cycled through last…
“party of your lifetime” in my ass
