Uhh, do you still believe in Santa or the Tooth Fairy?
- Comment on What’s the endgame? 6 days ago:
There’s no “end game” - the world’s in constant flux.
There’s a million stories, a million agendas, a million players (8 billion?)
Every day there’s a change in circumstance, so every day each agenda/story shifts to accommodate, as the players take new approaches to achieve whatever goals they have today.
Nothing is ever as simple as “end game”.
- Comment on Is there a spreadsheet that doesn't mess with the data I enter? 6 days ago:
AFAIK, when you save to CSV with Excel it doesn’t add anything.
But you won’t have a Table either, as that requires saving yonan Excel format.
As for the rest just format your columns as “text” in Excel.

- Comment on How many times a year do you wash your jeans? 1 week ago:
The 60’s - when jeans were still very rough material and needed a LOT of breaking in.
Today’s jeans are wimpy by comparison.
But regardless of the material, I wash my pants when they get dirty, not every time I wear them.
- Comment on Home-building robots could help fix the housing crisis 1 week ago:
Its really to compensate for the lack of framers.
Five years ago the average age of a framer was 55.
This is what happens when you don’t have a new generation of people trained to do something - constrictors have no choice but to use automation.
I’m not blaming anyone - its just an observation of pressures.

My Thinkpad (4 years old) runs all day, no problem. I’ve often been shocked to look at the battery in the afternoon and see it’s at 30%.
Really depends.
ARM is still better on battery life but the difference isn’t as great as it was - and that’s enough to not trade the performance and flexibility for better battery life.
X86 doesn’t need the same battery life as ARM, just not the awful life it used to have. And that’s where we are. The difference in battery life from 10 years ago is staggering. Used to be 2-3 hours run time, now I get 6-8.
- Comment on Avocado. Is it really so untasty or I am doing something wrong? 1 week ago:
Avocado is like mushy peat - its fucking awful.
Even the tiniest bit in a taco or whatever ruins it for me - I find it that awful.
I don’t like guac.
It makes me wonder if there’s a cilantro thing with avocado, because dirt tastes better.
- Comment on How to find a fan that blows 90° from intake? 1 week ago:
Another term to search for is “centrifugal fan” - these are the type used where air flow restrictions are significant, as they can compress the air some unlike a traditional box fan.
Where’s the return on your air handler? If there’s more than one (one upstairs, one down), you may be able to cheat the system by blocking one seasonally.
Also most likely the air handler speed is set too high - installers are kind of lazy (they don’t want callbacks) so they typically set the air handler to max speed. Since most instalsl are also well oversized, this means the system will short cycle and move less air during that short cycle. Lowering the air handler speed may help lengthen the cycle, moving more air in total.
You could also try just turning the air handler on (fan mode orn"Always On" on thermostat).
This probably won’t solve your problem entirely, just maybe help.

Well Microsoft has been working on am ARM version of Windows for at least 10 years that I know of, probably longer.
But every time ARM seems so much better than x86, x86 improves to close the gap.
Power consumption has always been a big driver - laptops today now run all day on battery, or at least half a day, which competes with the ARM battery life advantage.
- Comment on How to I prove to someone that the U.S. moon landing wasn't staged? 1 week ago:
Just as bad, we have Johnson on tape selling it to Kennedy as a way to get past the Bay of Pigs fiasco. Kennedy didn’t believe in it at all.
Johnson wanted the pork for his constituents.
In Johnson’s defense a little, many of his constituents were quite poor and this did bring a lot of development to the area.
It also put the Soviet Union in a tough position of having to try to keep up (though they did have a stellar space program already, but going to the moon was a waste of resources).
Hell, IIRC, they had the first lander on the moon. They were well ahead of the US in many ways.

Arguing with a fool is like wrestling a pig - all that happens is you both get dirty and the pig likes it.

PC-7 is another brand that’s identical to JB.

And this has been the case since the early 70’s

Same thing that happened to them before - when they were Service Stations.

Oswald never shot anyone - he couldn’t have.
- Comment on Is toothpaste supposed to be sealed or is this how shitty the products just are now? 2 weeks ago:
Shit happens in manufacturing.
Some day you should tour both a really modern facility and a very old one.
Sometimes damaged stuff slips through, nothing more.
Contact them via the info on the tube. I’ve never had anything but a good response when doing so, the QA Dept and maintenance want to know when the system drops the ball so they can improve it.
- Comment on Is toothpaste supposed to be sealed or is this how shitty the products just are now? 2 weeks ago:
About 40 years

- Comment on Is creatine safe? 2 weeks ago:
Exactly.
Doctors can be some of the most unscientific people you meet.
They repeatedly apply population level statistics for positive benefits of medications, by don’t so the same for the risks.
Which is wrong from the word go.
