- Comment on Max pulling THIS shit every time I finish watching Last Week Tonight 1 week ago:
Hulu instead shows you the latest episode of a serial show, hopefully there isn’t massive spoilers
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 1 week ago:
It should be easy to get updates with a little hacky help, they’ll be available on the long term support schedule.
- Comment on Get that Musky Grindset going 1 week ago:
That was a flight attendant.
- Comment on Horses ARE Forever 2 weeks ago:
Horses are only fast because of the shape of their four long legs. You can’t just give someone a carrot and long ears and expect them to be a horse. That just makes them a cat rabbit.
- Comment on Horses ARE Forever 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, but there are a lot of neglected emaciated horses from people that shouldn’t have horses.
- Comment on You are not living in reality if you do not see the huge difference between THEN and NOW 2 weeks ago:
There were houses in the US that were only 25k just before the great recession. Not everywhere certainly, small houses in major cities, we used to have cheap houses not too long ago. It was only after COVID that all the houses went up to a national minimum because of WFH and other things.
- Comment on PROTEIN BRO 2 weeks ago:
The sad part is that there isn’t any real answer, like a lot of fundamental things in science we don’t really know how it works and won’t for decades. My personal theory is more along the lines of the whole tearing muscles concept is crap and exercise is basically just a signal for your body to make more muscle and doesn’t directly cause anything.
- Comment on PROTEIN BRO 2 weeks ago:
That’s not a biochemist, memorizing the amino acids is literally biochem 1 on college. Most people with a biology undergrad take that.
Being a biochemist is more about understanding the whole system of how proteins interact, and not really about memorization of any specific protein.
- Comment on Games can no longer use virtual currencies to disguise the price of in-game purchases in the European Union 3 weeks ago:
It’d be fine if it was limited to like 1-5 dollars per account monthly with a yearly maximum. Not a 100 dollars at a time.
- Comment on Anon judges books by their covers 4 weeks ago:
It’s mostly to try and say that ugly people aren’t bad people, because there’s a natural human instinct to be drawn to pretty people with symmetrical faces. That’s why it’s a simple message for children. As OP said, with experience you learn more and you can draw your own conclusions.
- Comment on Photographers Are on a Mission to Fix Wikipedia's Famously Bad Celebrity Portraits [404 Media] 5 weeks ago:
The bad photos are just because of the wiki license requirements, it’s why there are a lot of military photos on Wikipedia because they’re all public domain by default.
- Comment on Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, if you are comparing the house you bought in 1980 for 10k dollars and say you pay 5k in tax every three years, using 2025 dollars then that is totally useless as a statement.
- Comment on Entropy? Never heard of it. 1 month ago:
Water is the biggest limiting factor, trees need more water.
- Comment on Does the US really have no instruments in case a newly elected president immediatelly and openly exposes he's a nazi? 2 months ago:
The premise was removing your mask after the election, so in that case the 25th would be the appropriate solution. But that’s only for extreme cases because you need the entire cabinet to agree.
- Comment on Who are you, who are so wise in the ways of SCIENCE? 2 months ago:
If they’re in a group with other humans. If you grow up without language like child raised by wolves then you just miss out on language completely and it’s very hard to impossible to learn later once your special infant brain language tool is gone.
- Comment on What year is it 2 months ago:
Commonly artistic items of game sets would be made for largely show purposes and rarely or never used. So it wouldn’t be surprising if it was made and then sealed in a box for a funeral wealthy collection or storage. We still do that with fancy metal dice that most people will never roll.
- Comment on What year is it 2 months ago:
Except for the constant parasites.
- Comment on Anyway to erase the permanent marker so I can reuse this? 2 months ago:
Acetone will work if nothing else works, but it’s just as likely to strip the underlaying paint off. You can mostly use alcohol to clean it and apply some acetone just on the actual stain with a qtip, that makes it less likely to be noticeable.
- Comment on Anon expects more 2 months ago:
The recent ones were good. But they’re basically a visual novel with some combat, so they’re small scale.
- Comment on Anon expects more 2 months ago:
It was honestly the design choice to make it procedural generation and then leaving the universe as a new game plus. That killed it completely.
- Comment on Nvidia Announces RTX 50's Graphic Card Blackwell Series: RTX 5090 ($1999), RTX 5080 ($999), RTX 5070 Ti ($749), RTX 5070 ($549) 2 months ago:
As always, buying a used previous gen flagship is the best value.
- Comment on Nvidia Announces RTX 50's Graphic Card Blackwell Series: RTX 5090 ($1999), RTX 5080 ($999), RTX 5070 Ti ($749), RTX 5070 ($549) 2 months ago:
You have to keep inflation in mind. 550 would be 450 2019 dollars.

Not really a countermeasure, but the scalping certainly proved that there is a lot of people willing to buy their stuff at high prices.
- Comment on Can enough solar pannels decrease the global temps? 2 months ago:
Sulfur cools the planet but not by shading, it’s more similar to how CO2 acts but in reverse.
- Comment on Can enough solar pannels decrease the global temps? 2 months ago:
That’s not really relevant. Fine particulate emissions from coal power plants, which are already mostly gone in the US but are still used around the world, don’t travel a really long distance.
