As long as it’s right next to the real posters, I can’t imagine that it would actually hamper the pet’s return.
- Comment on No one else in the world matters but me 19 hours ago:
I think the people with this mentality are probably the same people who refuse to ride buses under any circumstances.
- Comment on Why isn't it considered vegan to harvest animals who die naturally? 1 week ago:
If you don’t make a moral distinction between humans and other animals, it seems difficult to justify scavenging with any logic that couldn’t also be used to justify grave robbing or even necrophilia.

Wood glue won’t hurt (though you do have to wait for it to dry), but friction alone is often enough to do a decent job.

Otherwise known as a drywall anchor or wall plug. My parents also call them mollies, but those are different (though also often used for screwing things into drywall).

Yeah, alcohol burns very quickly and not really that hot (as far as fire is concerned). While it definitely can burn you, it actually won’t necessarily do so.
- Comment on The moment we've all been waiting for: you now can have targeted ads on your 2k smartfridge 1 week ago:
I’d be worried about either compromising the insulation or having to charge my fridge camera. Remember, this is me going to great lengths to be lazy.
- Comment on The moment we've all been waiting for: you now can have targeted ads on your 2k smartfridge 1 week ago:
I’m all in favor of smart appliances… as long as they don’t connect to the Internet. Give me a local HomeAssistant integration. That way, I can check what’s in my refrigerator from my bed without worrying about it showing me ads.

They just added ads :(
- Comment on Do you have a flagship phone or a car that's 2021/newer but are struggling financially? 2 weeks ago:
For now. I’m just hoping that the Pixel lasts until Fairphone brings back the headphone jack and the car lasts until I can move somewhere where I don’t need one.
- Comment on Do you have a flagship phone or a car that's 2021/newer but are struggling financially? 2 weeks ago:
As of a couple of months ago, sort of. I have a Google Pixel 8 and only recently got a reasonably well-compensated job. I got the phone in 2023, shortly before I was laid off, and it was on a fire sale in anticipation of the Pixel 9 released, so I’m only paying $4/month for it, $100 total plus the $70 up front.
My car is a 2007 model year that I could only afford because it was in an accident previously, though.
- Comment on 2³² will get interesting... 2 weeks ago:
Not quite. Round 33 will have 2^32 people, or a bit over half the population of Earth. Remember, round 1 has one person, 2^(0), not 2^(1).
- Comment on 2³² will get interesting... 2 weeks ago:
But once you get to round 33, everyone on earth is tied to the track, so there’s no one to pull the lever. That means that the trolley safely passes by, giving everyone ample time to free themselves. Eventually, the trolley stops due to friction with the track and air, plus brakes if it’s using them, and then we all stop getting tied to tracks.
- Comment on Are you friends with any AI bots? 3 weeks ago:
Not a modern program, but I don’t see anything that makes me think that programs will never be capable of metacognition. LLMs won’t, but they aren’t the be-all end-all.
- Comment on We always hear/read about Goverments cencoring the internet. What is something that the US is not knowing is being censored? 3 weeks ago:
You know what? I’m kind of OK with bringing anti-Catholic conspiracy theories back for a bit. Takes some heat off the Jews and Muslims, and the tradcath movement produced such wonderful people as Brett Kavanaugh. Plus, they never really answered for the whole systemic child molestation thing.

If Japan is going to catch strays, invading people is a pretty good reason.

But hey, at least it gives you a new hat.
- Comment on Would one run faster without arms? 4 weeks ago:
You do have more momentum to counteract the drag, though. I wonder if the decreased mass would be offset by the decreased surface area.

- Comment on Fight me 5 weeks ago:
Thanks for the correction, edited. How is gas not 100% efficient, though?
But yeah, heat pumps are definitely more environmentally friendly (unless you’re habitually letting the refrigerant out, o guess). The real argument is whether the extra energy is worth it for protein folding (I’d say generally no, but if you don’t have a heat pump, might as well).
- Comment on Fight me 5 weeks ago:
Heat pumps cap out at about 250% efficiency, so you’d still be spending more to run them than to burn natural gas at that ratio.
- Comment on Fight me 5 weeks ago:
They must have overshot, then. Computers are 100% efficient space heaters that produce math as a byproduct.
- Comment on Why does markdown treat linefeeds as spaces? 5 weeks ago:
They also delete the second space lol

John Quincy Adams was pretty decent, as far as I’m aware.
- Comment on Those were the good old days 5 weeks ago:
I definitely wouldn’t be happy about it if I were unarmed, but it’s basically a particularly ferocious goose. A baseball bat would be enough to give me a decent chance at leaving more or less unscathed.
- Comment on Those were the good old days 5 weeks ago:
Depends on the dinosaur. A Spinosaurus would just eat me, but I could beat up a velociraptor.

- Comment on Nowhere more appropriate to ask this as I'm apparently banned in c/guns, c/liberalgunowners and c/asklemmy. WTF is wrong with this revolver?! 1 month ago:
Oh, yeah, that’s probably fine. I didn’t expect it to, given the price.

Once you get it fixed, remember to use snap caps when dry-firing anything rimfire. The firing pin can hit the chamber and fuck things up. It isn’t an issue with center-fire (including rimmed center-fire like .357 Mag or 7.62x54R), since the pin just goes down the barrel on a dry fire, but there isn’t much space between the pin and shoulder on a rim-fire.
