- Comment on If you had to buy a new TV, what brand would you get? 1 hour ago:
I’d buy an HDMI monitor instead of a TV, I guess. Why a new one though? There are tons of super cheap ones at goodwill stores.
- Comment on Why is the human body so incredibly bad at responding to colds? 5 hours ago:
It answers OP’s question about why they are so miserable from a cold. It could be that it isn’t a cold.
It also means they should isolate longer to not spread the virus, and (IDK what is currently recommended these days) maybe seek antiviral treatments. Plus it can explain lingering symptoms after apparent recovery.

Get a COVID test if you still can.
- Comment on Are There Any Pastebin Alternatives that Allow Editing and Long-Term Storage? 6 hours ago:
That sounds like you just want a web page. neocities.org might be a fun approach. If you want something more serious you should probably use paid hosting. namecrane.com/store/da-shared-hosting starts at $8 per year and you get quite a lot of resources for that. You can install a wiki so your friends can edit, among other things.

- Comment on [USA] How much of a bad idea is it to be flying drones in this political climate? Or carrying meshtastic radios Or Ham/GMRS radios in public? How likely are there gonna be karens that will harass you? 3 days ago:
I don’t fly drones and generally find them to be dorky, but it would have occurred to me to worry about carrying radios. I’m not worried now either. And, there really isn’t much that isn’t made in China these days, including quite a lot of mobile phones.

Wut. Usually it’s for elderly people who need someone looking after them. So yes this is sus.
- Comment on What's the name of the type of man I'm attracted to? (pictured) 1 week ago:
Idk what they are called but I know what version control software they use.

- Comment on Hypothetically, if you have memory problems and need to write down events, is there a system which you can verify that its not tampered with? (Like a digital checksum, but for a journal) 2 weeks ago:
Maybe there’s a technical solution but what if you forget to check it?
Anyway watch the movie “Memento” if you haven’t.
- Comment on Why don't they have simpler names for brain disorders, where perhaps even the person suffering the disorder might be able to remember the term themself? 3 weeks ago:
Hadn’t heard about that one, heh.

It’s a joke, in case that wasn’t obvious.
- Comment on Why don't they have simpler names for brain disorders, where perhaps even the person suffering the disorder might be able to remember the term themself? 3 weeks ago:
It’s worse, e.g. aibohphobia (the fear of palindromes). Sufferers can’t seek treatment because they’re afraid to even say its name.
- Comment on Is it better to: [A] watch videos content on a flagship/midrange smartphone that you already have, OR [B] get a cheap tablet (say, around $200 USD) to watch videos? 4 weeks ago:
I usually use my laptop but sometimes my phone. Both work fine. Phone is a low midrange, I guess, Moto G Stylus 5g, 2023 model.
- Comment on Does putting clothes in the closet protect them from dust, or is the dust in there too? 5 weeks ago:
I don’t know why clothes that have sat around for a long time get funky but I don’t think it’s dust per se. Keeping clothes in a drawer generally keeps dust off of them but they still get funky.
- Comment on Is it safe to assume the guy i went out on a date with, just wants to sleep with me? 1 month ago:
Is there any comfortable way to bring up this topic without making me sound like a narcissist who assumed a guy wants to sleep with her just because he asked her out🥲.
I wouldn’t say you sound like a narcissist but this does sound immature. “He wants to sleep with you” and “he just wants to sleep with you” are two different things. It sounds to me that he likes you and wants to spend time with you, and maybe-probably also wants to sleep with you. Is that enough for you? It’s enough for some people, though obviously not for everyone. Either way, talk to him about it.
- Comment on What's the easiest way to get hookups without seeing escorts? 1 month ago:
Oh I was going to suggest Mouser and DIgikey for most kinds of electrical stuff, but it sounds like you are after something different.

The classic
- Comment on Why do females got to be so hard to talk or flirt with? 1 month ago:
Calling women “females” instead of women, as if you were a frakking Ferengi, won’t endear you the interest of any sensible person.
But when it does work, the oo-mox makes it all worth it ;)
- Comment on How do you combat boredom? 1 month ago:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boredom looks like an interesting article that might convey some helpful info.
- Comment on Solar powered personal umbrella with battery? 1 month ago:
There are foldable and flexible solar panels that go on a backpack. An umbrella would be kind of silly. What are you trying to do? How much power do you need?
Here is a 6.5 watt solar backpack though I robably wouldn’t buy it. It shoud be able to charge a 40WH USB power bank in a day or so. You never get the full rated power from solar cells.

No, none unless you could newpipe.

Wait, it’s a band. I thought it was some kind of streaming app. Meh.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
You don’t want one. There was one about me once, but I managed to get it deleted. Good riddance.

I just logged in, worked fine.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
I think the stuff you’re describing is outside the range where we internet randos can give any concrete help. You’re doing the right thing in seeing professionals who have training in dealing with this stuff. I can only offer sympathy and best wishes. I find if I get agitated about something, I can often calm myself down with deep breathing. But I’m sure my experience is less intense than yours to start with, so I have no idea whether the same methods would help.
- Comment on If you had a huge slingshot, how much rubber band would you need to send a spaceship into space? 2 months ago:
You couldn’t do it with one slingshot, as several people have explained. But if the slingshot was big enough to launch a ship carrying someone with another slingshot, you’d do a little better. With the second ship carrying a third ship and so on, the slingshot round on the last ship might move fast enough. This is how multi-stage rockets work, by the way.
- Comment on What is wrong with being "Black Pilled"? 2 months ago:
I wasn’t familiar with the term: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incel#"Blackpill"
It doesn’t sound good at all.
- Comment on 32, f. Are there any dating sites that are actually free and don't suddenly force me to pay to actually use the site? 2 months ago:
I hate to say this but there are still interesting people on Reddit.

Yes, they generally work fine.
