• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you think that Trump is being blackmailed?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  And not a single voter will care.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a focused punch, an airbag is much wider.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People who work in medical offices, has anyone ever called to verify a doctor note for work or school?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Try getting a doctor’s note when you have ME or something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Love/hate relationship with Bethesda Game Studio⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not lately, I stopped playing years ago because of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨20 Jobs that people once thought were irreplaceable are now just memories⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I still had a milkman in the UK. The entire city of Lancaster has milkmen, they divvied up the place amongst them. If you are lucky you are in the area run by two farmers who deliver right from the farm.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sniff sniff⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Imagine reading that note while studying and trying to figure out what you actually meant.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is "I was born this way" and other "genetic predisposition" defenses almost common place? I get the physical stuff like loss of limbs but not the I was born to hate, or rape, and so forth?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I knew a guy who said shit like this. He abused young boys. I reported him and attached several of the epistles he wrote justifying it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Aha!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ones that don’t whittle on about flossing. In fact, one told me he preferred it if people didn’t because they were just pushing bacteria into their gums.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  John Green claims he has aphantasia. He’s a writer.

  Aphantasia is bullshit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What was the internet like before Y2K happened ?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I worked overnight to prevent it from happening only for people to say shit like this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Aerosol⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  None of that is worldwide.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Aerosol⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Trump wants to bring it back.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What happened to us Pirates? We used to sail the web and never even thought about reprecussions just sharing. Now it seems like it costs to be a pirate like a VPN and such. WTH happened?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was going to say: I live in Germany and they’ll absolutely go after people who pirate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rotund⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, duh.

  Jesus…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DOGE cut 20% of APHIS the agency that protects U.S. agriculture and now the screwworm parasite that wipes out livestock has returned to the U.S⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Daily reminder that the US government is a doomsday cult. This is is by design.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why when I rent an Apt I need to have the electric turned on first? I spent my first year of contracting living out my car to save all the money I could. Shouldn't the land lord do that not you?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Germany and the UK: yes. Where I live in Germany I had to choose a green energy provider (it was in the contract), which wasn’t hard because we run on renewables in our neck of the wood.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Intellectual Freedom⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Odd, I know a fair few PhD students and post docs and they all researched what they wanted to research. They either didn’t have a professor or they found one who offered the right subject.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why when I rent an Apt I need to have the electric turned on first? I spent my first year of contracting living out my car to save all the money I could. Shouldn't the land lord do that not you?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The landlord will read the meter (often together with you when you get the keys), then you pick an energy provider and give them that meter reading so they can bill you for the energy you’ve used.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Could we create an adventure/treasure hunt game involving git ?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Absolutely.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Well said⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fries contain vitamin A and your body needs carbs and fat. Also, fed is best. Shut up, professor.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s also a Muslim and a Jewish thing. Their Sabbath is on Saturday.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you don’t think there’s something wrong with stealing people’s stuff, faking things for propaganda purposes, overloading power grids and destroying the environment, you either don’t know about this stuff (although you should) or you’re not a very nice person.

  I’m not talking about AI manually trained for medical purposes or anything like that, I’m talking about generative AI and LLMs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Pro AI people are either ignorant or nasty.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Learn to read and spell and then come back so at least you sound vaguely educated.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Apple “overreports” on mine. Because they get their temperature from the business park down the hill. It’s cooler where I am.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Italy’s top court rules against tourist refused tap water in Dolomites hotel⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You do realise that tap water isn’t free in many European countries, right? They have a meter and get a bill every month.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Italy’s top court rules against tourist refused tap water in Dolomites hotel⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A lot of the mineral water you buy is tap water. It’s the same water the people in the area where the water is bottled drink. It even says so on the bottle sometimes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wildfire Griffin⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are far too many “hilarious” books like this out there and not enough good ones.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Top Movies" in Amazon Prime is full of series⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t do this if you live in Germany. They actually monitor this stuff and you’re in deep doodoo if they catch you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does it feel like most art museums are for adults and most science museums are for kids?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Many art museums have recorded guides for kids.
