- Comment on "i can hear the difference" 5 days ago:
I worked at a big box electronics store back in the day. Problem was we only sold two kinds of cables.
1 - shitty cables with the ends crimped on that will fall off after three uses.
2 - way overpriced gold plated cables that cost 10x or more.
I’d love it if we sold something in-between, but you absolutely could tell the difference between those options. Mostly cause the RCA ends didn’t make an actual decent connection to the equipment, so it wiggled around and induced static into the signal.

Scowl Owl is tied for the best host on Legal Eagle. Tho it is a 5 way tie right now.
Maybe one of them will pull ahead soon.

YES, he absolutely mentions it! Then quickly states that there are no legal penalties for that so he’s not including it in the count.

I think the base picture is a car dealership. It could still be AI, but the original base picture is probably still a dealership.

- Comment on Ford ends F-150 Lightning production, starts battery storage business 2 weeks ago:
Large, heavy electric vehicles don’t make a lot of sense. The F-150 lightning was a neat idea, but smaller EVs make far more sense for personal vehicles.
Electric vans would be much better as a work vehicle.
Electric work trucks aren’t ready yet.
- Comment on THIS is an inventive idea 2 weeks ago:
No, most things slide under a shingle so the water never touches the fasteners.
Some things screw right through with sealant on top, but that’s not the best way to do it, cause sealant will break down over time.

With just a little pre-planning when the weather is ok, you can install some brackets or fall harness mounts under the shingles.
Solar panel mounts would also work. There’s plenty of things designed to mount to the roof while still maintaining water proofing.

- Comment on How come there is not a pope without grey hair? I mean a much younger pope like 30s 40s. Really can't be that hard. You got an ocean of cardinals and priests who pretty much tell say? 4 weeks ago:
Someone in their 30’s will significantly change their worldview over the next 50+ years.
More than anything else, the church wants stability. If you elect someone in the last part of their life, you’ll have a much better idea of what ideology their entire papacy is going to be formed under.
If electing a pope was only for 4, 10, or even 20 years, it would be more reasonable to elect a younger pope, but as it is a lifetime appointment, someone older is always going to be a more conservative option.

Try describing the pain using the OPQRST pneumonic.
Onset - what where you doing when it started? Provocation - does anything make it better or worse Quality - what type of pain is it. Stabbing, burning, etc. Radiating - is the pain in one spot, or does it radiate out to other spots. Severity - what’s the 0-10 pain scale Time - How long has this been occuring
As you can see, Severity is just one of the parts of the assessment.
- Comment on do no harm 1 month ago:
The absolute nature of the scale isn’t THAT important, yeah it gives you an idea of how the pain feels, but what’s more important is how the number changes over time.
If a patient keeps saying “IT’S AN 11!!” for an hour and then now it’s a 9? Great, we’re moving in the right direction.
If someone starts out saying it’s an 11 and suddenly it’s a 15? Well, what changed? Did some meds wear off? Did they shift and move something that increased the pain?
Heck, 90% of the time if I get there and it’s an 11, then just 10 minutes later it’s suddenly a 6 cause they’ve calmed down now that help is there.

- Comment on Are there any decor people here? I ask because in the Big Lebowski it begins with a rug that tied the room together. In your opinion did it? 2 months ago:
Counterpoint.
The dude didn’t have many nice things, but that rug was one of them. He was shown meditating on the new rug, so maybe that was his daily ritual for staying dude-like.
It tied the room together cause it was a quality object that took the focus, in his eyes, off the junk that was everything else.

BNC connections were used on professional level video equipment, if you were rich enough, you could get an extremely high quality computer monitor and video card that used those.
Older computers, especially early home computers sometimes just had composite connectors to a TV. Older computer monitors often had a composite input, but SCART was also an option.
Higher end computer monitors sometimes had similar inputs to early HDTVs, there’s a lot of crossover.
- Comment on At 1% 2 months ago:
If you were rich enough, could have only used displays with RGB-BNC.
Or maybe they’re kinda crazy and used Component video with a TV screen. (Or composite…)
Or maybe they’re just not that old.

My point is that it hasn’t changed. People have always been people.
- Comment on Excuse the fuck me? 2 months ago:
Plenty of people before 2025 divorced for any number of reasons.
Plenty of people straight up murdered their spouse because divorce wasn’t an option.
Saying “people in the current culture we live in do not place any value on their word or honor” means you have no idea how people in the past lived.
People are today as they have always been, just with different gadgets and environment.

The universe is flat.
Most galaxies are semi-flat rotating discs of stars.
Only solid-ish objects like planets, stars, moons, and black holes are spheres.
