- Comment on Why does the microwave button have a "popcorn" button when every microwave popcorn brand says "DO NOT USE THE POPCORN BUTTON"? 21 hours ago:
Because microwave popcorn sucks? Haha

Or land
- Comment on What should computer monitoring software actually let you control? 5 days ago:
Ah, yes, you like shit to break and have no ability to manage systems.
- Comment on Why don't people do Documentaries about the average person instead of someone who was in the news or pop culture? Like their neighbor or something. 1 week ago:
I love to play golf, ball or disc.
But to watch either one? Boring as fuck.
Though watching someone throw an incredible disc shot or hit a ball perfectly is amazing (especially disc). I really enjoy a great disc shot, it’s a thing of beauty, whether it’s mine or somekne else’s shot.
- Comment on Does the net positive of Eugenics out weigh the negative? How so? 1 week ago:
- Define Eugenics
- Comment on why do reverse thrusters work on an airplane, but a fan on a sailboat doesn't work? 1 week ago:
Imagine standing on the boat and pushing on the sail.
Which is the same as the fan pushing on the sail.
The force is all contained in the boat.
- Comment on Would the world look different if we adopted Truman's League of Nations instead of the UN? If how so? 1 week ago:
I mean history speaks for itself - League of Nations collapsed and was supplanted by the just as shitty and corrupt UN.
- Comment on Are fluctuations in Earth's magnetic field during geomagnetic storms actually enough to cause stress on our cells and bodies, or am I encountering junk science? 2 weeks ago:
That means humans developed in an environment where these changes wee happening - so if it could affect us, natural selection would’ve compensated.
Just like how our lungs and cardio system is adapted to our nitrogen/oxygen atmosphere.
- Comment on IT Horror 2 weeks ago:
This should tell anyone what they need to know about how government operates.
- Comment on I wonder why people treat it like an Ancient Egyptian cat? 2 weeks ago:
Yep.
Using a 2019 small form factor Dell desktop as an ESXI server running a handful of VM’s: Windows, Debian, DietPi, etc. I hammer the VM’s sometimes doing video conversion and everything just works.
Best part is it consumes less than 20 watts at idle, and maxes at 80 watts. Hard to beat.

Got my first in for $5
- Comment on What's the science behind erratic driving? 3 weeks ago:
Haha, and here I thought my rationalizations for driving like an ass were pretty bad, but you sir make me look like an amateur sophist!
I how down to the bigger asshole driver, and that’s saying something.

The DVD today comes with the endings.
Love it.
- Comment on What's the best way to still something expensive that can't be shipped? 4 weeks ago:
Sad but true.
- Comment on Rich french high-schoolers drive tiny electric cars 4 weeks ago:
Gulf carts…
- Comment on Battery-Powered Attachment Turns Diesel Semis Into Hybrid EVs 5 weeks ago:
I could swear Eaton produced such assist devices 20 years ago.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
Are you going to pay to change the entire electrical grid, rewire every house, replace every appliance, etc.
It would be an unimaginably massive undertaking for very little gain.
The US electrical system was well-established when Europe had to rebuild post-WWII.

- Comment on 1 month ago:
Not in the US.
US dishwashers run on a 15 Amp circuit so don’t have a preheat for the first wash. The heater is too slow.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
It’s because I have never seen a dishwasher in the US designed for a high current circuit.
The standard is a single dedicated 15amp circuit for the dishwasher, because the standard dishwasher is designed to use the house hot water, so doesn’t need a larger circuit.
It has fuck all to do with the water supply,
- Comment on If I only have space/money for one exercise machine, what should I get? 1 month ago:
Yep.
I have a handful of ancient, beatup dumbbells. So much you can do with even that.
- Comment on Discord Is Bringing Back Age Verification for Millions of Users 1 month ago:
Whats a “Discord”?
Yes, that’s sarcasm, because I refused to use that garbage years ago.
Keep on enshittifying your shitty product, hopefully that will help end it.
- Comment on Can cartilage be replaced? And if not, Why can't they just inject something like silicone into a joint? 1 month ago:
I’ve talked to a number of people (and have family) with both single and dual knee/hip replacements - some in their 40’s.
It’s shocking how effective it is, and how much function they have - pretty much back to normal in weeks. All of them were outpatient surgeries - where they’re expected to walk immediately after surgery (it’s part of their rehab to move the joint immediately).
I had no idea until very recently this is how it works today. I was stunned at the progress that’s been made.
- Comment on Why do we assume paper towels are sterile, or at least clean? 1 month ago:
Hahaha, I think someone didn’t get your humor
- Comment on How does a game server differentiate between multiple clients on the same network? Do they even? 1 month ago:
Mac never leaves the LAN.
The switch in your router knows what to do with your MAC - because that’s hardware level communication.
Even your machine’s IP doesn’t leave your network, your router tracks which interface your IP is on, and keeps a table of local IP:Port mapped to Destination IP:Port on the external interface.
And when you really dig into IP routing, I think the router system actually maps IP to interface, and doesn’t even know about MAC addresses because that’s a layer 2 functionality and routing is layer 3 - so it merely hands a routed packet to the appropriate interface and the switch then maps IP:MAC. But it’s been a long time since I dove into router programming internals.
- Comment on Walmart Shopping Carts Left Feet Away from the Cart Corral. 1 month ago:
Really depends where you are.
I’ve lived/worked all over the US. Since Walmart is everywhere, you get to see how different regions behave, or even different areas of a city.
I have 2 Walmarts nearby, one is like this, the other isn’t.

Blocking JS will increase fingerprint accuracy, but…
I can’t imagine browsing with all js allowed by default anymore. It’s painful.
With NoScript and Ublock my browsing experience is just so much better - stupid videos don’t autoplay, the screen doesn’t do weird reflow once it fully loads, etc.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
That would be meaningless for translating to anything else, such as the time zone where any participants are.
Which is why everything uses UTC/GMT and offsets for local time
- Comment on How do we stop people from defending billionares and trillion dollar companies? 1 month ago:
You mean OP’s?.
Because it is. Right out of the gate he doesn’t define what he means.
Are we saying defend in the legal sense when accused of a crime? Because damn right I want that person properly defended against government accusations. Otherwise we’re just behaving like a mob, and that goes nowhere anyone wants to be.
- Comment on Air or electric powered? 1 month ago:
Battery, all day these days baby!
The improvement in battery tech became a game changer for impact tools about 15 years ago. Crazy.
