Infamous compared to what?
- Comment on About to ruin your whole day 1 week ago:
Engine and motor are synonyms. Broadly speaking, newer technology gets called motor to differentiate it from older technology.
See steam engine. Motor car. Etc.
And yeah, electric motors have fuck all to go wrong. Love my EV.
(Sorry for being a pedant)

Eh. My bog has a bluetooth controlled bidet so HA can wash my bottom, should i ever want it to…
- Comment on Just a matter of time before it's reality 2 weeks ago:
Eh, that’s overrated. My HA server runs on RAID1 hotplug drives with multiple layers of UPS. It can survive multiple drive failures with zero downtime, even when physically replacing the drives.
I’m more interested in evading the online only cloud dependent bullshit many devices have.

… i don’t own an air fryer. Or any undies.

Waaaaait. Does that mean I can dry my undies in it??
- Comment on Min wage in most states is so sad 2 weeks ago:
Thry should get a massive salary but be strictly banned from all other forms of income.

Daniel Radcliff is awesome though.

Performance is a stinking mess but gameplay is a joy. It’s not XCOM but it’s great in its own right.

Socialism!!!
- Comment on just sayin 4 weeks ago:
Skynet in the films is pretty dumb. It wastes resources in infiltrators who blend in by looking (and talking) like Arnold Schwarzenegger
- Comment on Pie in the face. 4 weeks ago:
It’s milkshake in the UK. Search for images of Farage milkshake.
- Comment on The line cook quietly handed me this 5 weeks ago:
Those are probably an even better example
- Comment on The line cook quietly handed me this 5 weeks ago:
That’s why fairy cakes are the best and it’s an international crime that American style muffins have replaced them here in the UK.
A fairy cake is a teeny muffin bun with more decorative stuff on top.

Please can everyone join me in referring to him as Rock “The Duane” Johnson when mentioned verbally?
It’s very satisfying.
- Comment on Growth and cuck mindset 2 months ago:
I find that fascinating. I just wouldn’t turn up to an internet date who wouldn’t give me their number. If safety is an issue then get a burner number.
I married an internet date and our kids are nearly teens now. 🤷♀️
- Comment on Do you think that Trump is the most hated U.S. president? 2 months ago:
They’re way left of the Tories and Reform. But yes, that’s what I was getting at with the “right” people. If Americans fight for better Deomcratic candidates between now and 2029 then they have a chance. They’ll win big when Trump goes anyway so the question is: Who benefits?
- Comment on Do you think that Trump is the most hated U.S. president? 2 months ago:
Whoever comes next will be blamed for the state of the economy and the government.
There’s just one sliver of hope: When Trump keels over the Republicans will tear each other qpart like cats in a bag. That’s your opportunity. You have to get the right people in, you (the “left of MAGA”, basically normies) will win an easy landslide just that one time…
I’m British and this is what happened here - the right briefly in disaray allowed our centre-left party to win big. Just once…

There’s no such thing as a seagull. Lots of types of gull but no sea gull.

The sad thing is - we COULD produce processed foods designed for our health. We just choose not to. The more its processed, the more room there is for profit margin improving adjustments.
(Meanwhile we evolved to eat not-ultraprocessed food so obviously that’s best for us.)

Almost correct. :D

- Comment on Factorio 2.1 will be the last major update as Wube Software are moving on 3 months ago:
Give Microtopia a look. It’s any colony as a factory sim and it’s really quite good.

On behalf of British pub goers, a half is a perfectly normal thing to order. :p
- Comment on Is there any open source ATM machine ? 3 months ago:
It’s not the regulations, it’s the banks. They’re super paranoid, everything has to be proprietary. And at the same time their backends are all ancient and seriously decrepit. Which has to be kept secret and airgapped from the public.
- Comment on Damn straight! 3 months ago:
It’s up to employers who they employ. It’s not for you or I to decide what job or what person are suitable.
But if your skilled enployees are switching to burger flipping because they can make the same money then you aren’t paying the new market rate.

They are secret and covert in that their identity is hidden.

Aside from Nvidia, what drivers?
