• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Milking dust⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  The books, Jurassic Park and its sequel The Lost World, are very good and very different from the movies. I also recommend Disclosure by the same author.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dolph is prime human⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The same reason the National Aeronautics and Space Administration isn’t NAASA.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Enough is enough⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Not OP but just to hazard a guess:

  Alcohol evaporates quickly. It’s probably there for the same reason it’s used in dry shampoos and antiperspirants; to make something that sprays but drys into a power or thickens to a gel in a very short period of time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Xbox Hardware Is Dead,' Says Founding Team Member, 'It Looks Like Xbox Has No Desire — Or Literally Can't — Ship Hardware Anymore' - IGN⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That Xbox would become Microsoft’s Steam has been the prevailing prediction for the better part of 10 years. I am immediately dubious of anybody who’s opinion is that a more capable than the Xbox device (as far as availability of games) has no reason to be purchased.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It was all a lie, wasn't it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably;

  Wood structures fair better in high wind and in earthquakes. Things we have far more of in North America.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sweatshop⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a thermostat that looks just like that at home. It doesn’t go to 100°, like the other commenter said.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's the dream⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In my experience it’s usually a “cherry on top” of whatever horrible personality that person has. It’s the difference between somebody who treats like they own you for 40+ hours a week and somebody who understands that people are hired for what they know and not for their output quantity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🐇 🐇 🐇⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t really start hating it until not doing it for 13 hours a day meant losing my job because, and I quote, “we can have meetings all day because you have all night to finish your work”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Aging is fun⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If this is you, try drinking more water.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Always there⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “After these messages, we’ll be ‘light’ back!”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The real question is, which color?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It takes all kinds to make a world; There are even people who don’t like chocolate and would just prefer the peanuts…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ok smartass⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They don’t look the same and it doesnt look like differences that can be explained by photoshop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A couple of Switch 2 owners are already reporting expanded back panels, Nintendo investigates possible causes⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think I would be more okay with having to undo a screw or two as long as it was still just as easy to get the battery out. The way the Advance SP and DSs handled it. Lithium batteries are slightly more unfriendly to being handled than AAs and this is a device aimed at children. Your point stands though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wanna tell the class the joke⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I actually knew a guy who had a stroke fairly young and lost partial use off the right side of his body but regained some of his mobility. His car had the gas on the left.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'No gay, no pay': The RuneScape community is absolutely mauling Jagex's new CEO over his decision to cancel new Pride Month events⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Where I am from several years ago the city renamed the Christmas Parade to Holiday Parade in a bid to be inclusive of other winter holidays. A small subset of citizens got butt hurt and have held a competing Christmas Parade several times.

  Apparently the war on Christmas is acknowledging that there are other options.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't kink shame Oklahoma City.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The locals still call it the cock ring though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨2025 be vibin'⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A piece of advice I wish I had listened to is “don’t turn your hobbies into a vocation”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨game has multiple factions fighting each other⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As somebody from Tulsa I can confirm that Oklahoma is a weird mishmash of ‘anything goes’. People will literally say “soda pop”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Happy PrIDE Month⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  IIRC Apple drives, like those in the Mac Studio, use a version of NVMe that doesn’t have the controller onboard which is why they were so hard to reverse engineer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who did this 😂😂😂⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I still remember using Windows machine for the first time after only having a Commodore 64 and Nintendos. I specifically remember thinking it was dumb because it didn’t have a cartridge slot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who did this 😂😂😂⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Any Windows machine that does not support ACPI or has it disabled. IIRC Windows has required ACPI since Vista.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Exclusive: Kevin Smith opens the Pearly gates on plans for a 4K Steelbook version of Dogma⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The Phantom Menace was released the same year and was quite famously recorded digitally in 1080p. I doubt Dogma did this but it is possible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Held back no longer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My grandpa was a truck driver. He told me he hated bobtailing (driving with no trailer) because he didn’t get paid for it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Every toddler becomes a hackerman when they find a tablet⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  No, I don’t think not being able to make change or not stopping touching a screen no matter how many times you are told that it isn’t a touch screen is cultural momentum. I genuinely think that we the older generations have failed Gen Z at a common sense and problem solving level and I very much hope that we don’t keep failing Gen Alpha. I was in school still when no child left behind went into effect and the difference was stark. It was said then that it was designed to create a generation of Republican voters and based on the most recent election it looks like it might have worked.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Every toddler becomes a hackerman when they find a tablet⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Working at a university I have seen some astounding shit; people just barely 10 years younger than me who can’t read analog clocks or make change let alone use a mouse or move a file to a flash drive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RIP obsolete tech⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s step two.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RIP obsolete tech⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Start with Plex and learn from there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Prices are out of control⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Technically most coke is “sugar free” in the strictest sense of table sugar versus corn syrup.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Need a tiebreaker⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Seems like they need to make a wastebasket that fits the paper sacks?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sagan, you look high.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean… if you are always high then that isn’t wrong is it?
