  Now I feel like our kids are going to discover our posts some day and have to say “It was a different time”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do air purifiers really reduce dust much?⁩ ⁨⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  There are, but the mapping functionality drastically increases how well the vacuum works.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨haveibeenpwned alternatives / data?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s because of Enterprise contracts, for the things you can check off with HIBP… 4 grand is not a lot for them. But, then also if you offer a separate plan and just say ‘no enterprise, we trust you’, many businesses will just ignore the enterprise plan.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  And, I totally get that! It’s like yeah, I know how to setup a symlink to probably make that work, but you know what’s a lot easier than that… Just not doing that and just having it work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s sad in a way but I kinda feel like proton is going to near wipe out the very few Linux native ports we get. It’s so much easier and more stable than trying to build and package for Linux.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We'll pay you $10,000 to DE-shitify this Samsung refrigerator⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re renting, usually the landlord picks the appliances.

  I guarantee someone is working real hard on making ad supported appliances targeted specifically for rental properties a reality.

  They are in the same family as hops, interesting beer?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘It’s about redemption’: Peter Molyneux says Masters of Albion will make up for decades of ‘overpromising on things’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s been awhile since I played Godus, but I don’t remember micro transactions. May have forgotten, but remember it just being a super simplified version of populous. I only played in early access though, not sure on changes or if it ever had a full release.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Minecraft is removing code obfuscation in Java Edition⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They already do that for bedrock.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some good things to purchase to add a new distraction to my life?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In my experience, majority of therapists are garbage. I’ve experienced the same, but once you get one who actually shows up and is actually good at what they do, it’s worth it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MicroProse reveal Dungeon Holdem a mixture of poker and dungeon crawling that looks ace⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Microprose, now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time.

  It seems like they’ve had a lot of companies licensing out the name for various minor things over the past few decades, but now some guy in Australia bought the name fully and is trying to buy up as much Microprose IP as he can to revitalize the company.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon checks up on a childhood friend⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know you or how you’re feeling, but do you feel like you deserve the same consideration you give your cat when it comes to yourself?

  I’ve been depressed so I know there’s a solid chance that answer is no and you probably feel pretty settled about why, but ask yourself if you were judging someone you love (maybe your cat) by the same metric would your answer for them be the same?

  Depression is a real rough process, we’re rooting for you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon checks up on a childhood friend⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Your cat would want you to be happy. As long as you don’t forget to fill up the food bowl.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I do it at least 35 times just in case⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, or even the other way around. It’s kind of generic, but we feel pretty good about one of the better ways of reducing your risk of cancer being to exercise and eat healthy and that will also get your libido going.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I do it at least 35 times just in case⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  With the quantity of ejaculations being self controlled, this feels like we could just be looking at a marker of general health.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bye Bye Existence⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Even just maybe… gaseous oxygen could be interesting.

  How big would the drop in atmospheric pressure actually be at ground level? I don’t know how to calculate that beyond… feels like lower than 20%, but could whatever number still be enough to induce barotrauma? How do we apply that potential change in atmospheric pressure to the ocean and tides, and how bad is that sudden shift, massive tsunamis or just slightly higher tides? I feel like a lot of measuring equipment would be fucked for a bit, how bad could it be if every altimeter/barometer/etc was unreliable for 5 seconds? Effect on contained systems feels more predictable, I know nitrogen inflation is a thing you can get in some places, but most are just air, feels like a 20% drop in tire pressure worldwide for 5 seconds is going to have to cause a spike in road accidents.

  Would the increased radiation be enough to create a global sterilizing affect for important bacteria/etc and what’s the worst that could happen there?

  What happens if every combustion engine in use stops working for 5 seconds? How much does that affect power plants/our energy infrastructure?

  There’s lot of industrial applications, I know that welding and steel production can require pure oxygen. Medical and research applications too. How bad is it if the oxygen supply on all of those worldwide fails suddenly?

  You were right, the style change is very noticeable, but id still say it’s a worthwhile read.

  Ancient meme, but that’s why you have to keep a small version of this in your wallet:

  The guy who put this together ended up writing a full book based on the concept.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dancing With Boobs⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think there is any joke or subtext.

  I think that’s just kinda it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Found a dog⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Look at the forest puppy!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon works in a nursing home⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow, kinda same, I had the full image for a minute, but it cropped when I tried to zoom in and now even if I zoom back out its still cropped.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would-be City of Heroes successor, Ship of Heroes, decides to launch the MMO with a $45 price tag and a $15 monthly subscription and it's, er, going about as well as you'd expect⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Not saying it’s entirely cool, but wow base game purchase usually includes all expansions except the latest nowadays and that rolls (you get newer ones as more expansions are released) if you had an account historically.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon dates a 19 y/o⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m just a bit older, but been there.

  I could never get past it though. I have a daughter too, and it really just takes one experience where they really remind you of your kid and… yeah, I don’t think I can do this y’all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Youtube Has A Big Issue Right Now⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Do any of those have any kind of monetization? I legitimately don’t know, feel like Dailymotion might have something? Would be great if we just didn’t need to do that, but I don’t think people concerned about their views/earnings on one platform are going to move to one where it’s worse or non existent.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If spiderman shoots webs from his wrists would not the tension of shooting and swingiing up a skyscraper pretty much break his wrist? Also why SpiderMAN shouuldn''t it be SpiderTEEN?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Blah blah blah, ‘Quantum Realm’.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Use this science wisely.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder if he ever got to realize that his lasting contribution to humanity was going to be improving the sex lives of several entire generations.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Corporate policy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In my experience, it usually originates from India, but it’s catching on in the UK too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The recent Steam censorship debacle actually sort of opened me up to adult games.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You do kind of have to buy into it. Most of the engagement of the story is locked behind the various options there, and it can really be surprisingly good beyond the adult content.

  Maybe don’t explore anything that’s a full on ick, but I would second that, if there’s something you’re at least neutral on I’d recommend giving it another shot.

  Maybe its why the Andorians are blue?

  Like… Which YouTube conspiracy videos? Hard to find ones that aren’t a mouthpiece for some sort of political party, I could use some expert recommendations.
