We’re on the same page. I even mentioned the Nazis in my comment!
- Comment on Can't believe its been 2 weeks 1 day ago:
Two hundred million? They managed to double their kill count since 2000? Impressive, especially considering the lack of invading Nazis to mow down en masse for easy numbers.
- Comment on The legendary PS2 5 days ago:
You can still get modern motherboards with PS/2.
And yeah, it isn’t hot-pluggable. I think that probably had as much to do with killing it off as the versatility of USB.
- Comment on The legendary PS2 5 days ago:
Hey, me too! I just need to get a bracket to hold the hard drive properly. I just need to learn to use a 3D printer.
- Comment on The legendary PS2 5 days ago:
That’s impressive. Playing them in a Discman is easy, but a Walkman?
- Comment on The legendary PS2 5 days ago:
Not a very popular computer, but it set a standard that was nearly ubiquitous for mice until USB took over and was popular on keyboards even after that.
- Comment on Karoline Leavitt. She says she wear a cross because she is a good christian. 6 days ago:
She lasted about 57 Scaramuccis. That’s pretty impressive tbh.
- Comment on Why do so many people regardless of whether their reasonings are justified or not pinpoint South Park for ruining a generation of millenials? 2 weeks ago:
I do really appreciate that The Gang’s misbehavior always ends up screwing them over. That’s a big difference compared to South Park.

people who believe in stuff are the real fools
That’s a really good distillation of their ethos. I’m going to try to remember it.
- Comment on Could machines develop consciousness just like we did? 2 weeks ago:
Yes. Humans are fundamentally subject to the same laws of physics that machines are. However, it took about three billion years from the first life to the first sapient life, so I wouldn’t count on machines getting there anytime soon.

I’d categorize you more as a horseback Jesus than a lolcow. Lolcows face more derision.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Care to explain your reasoning, then? Or did you just want to feel smug?
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
I was a little worried that that part would distract from the overall message, so I’m glad I ended up leaving it in and I appreciate you telling me that it helped.

Nope. Circuit breakers do not break on absolute current values.
Huh, TIL.
Ever. Period. At all.
That doesn’t seem to be supported by my research. Standard breakers are designed to trip based on a function of over-current and time, but that doesn’t preclude any breakers from using current alone.
Even a basic spec sheet will inform you as much…
It won’t. I checked. A more detailed spec sheet will, but not a basic one.
It’s why many euro firms make fun of American standards: They’re literally not expressive of reality.
They sure look like they are. The rating is the current that the breaker can sustain indefinitely at the reference temperature. And it sure looks like the EU rates the the same way.
Even GFCI’s can shock the fuck out of you in certain circumstances.
Of course they can. You aren’t a ground fault. A load of 100mA on a GFCI is perfectly normal, and the same load will kill a human very quickly.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
It’s 100% current, but the current that matters is the current through you. The resistance between your hands is roughly 3 kΩ at low voltages and about 1 kΩ at 220V. You need about 5 mA DC or 1 mA AC to feel anything, which means you need about 15V DC if you’re the only resistance in the circuit.
The current at your outlet will be ~0.05A if the only path between hot and neutral is the transformer. If you add an alternate path, you allow for up to 25A or so before the breaker cuts the circuit. 25A would mean that the resistance between hot and neutral is about 8Ω. If you are the alternate path, there will be about 220V/1k=220mA going through you, which is about 8x the amount needed to cause you to go into cardiac arrest.

No, cubes cannot be destroyed by crushing. The portal disappears when the surface moves and then the cube stops the surface’s descent.

“I don’t tolerate transphobia, that’s why I banned blahaj” is pretty goddamn funny.

On top of that, [0-9]+ matches one or more digits and ()? matches the previous token zero or one times, so the whole thing combines to zero or more digits, which is just [0-9]*. They’re even bad at regex.

PS5 load times sure are nicer than PS3 load times, though.

Proper communism has been done at a small scale many times, e.g. in Catalonia during the Spanish civil war. Its main point of failure has been insufficient ability to defeat violence from without.

And Wakanda, and probably Latveria at some point. Also most of Guardians of the Galaxy.

A corpse is not a sentient creature. Former sentience is not the same as sentience.
A corpse should be treated like the person it was, so it still needs consent otherwise you’re still raping it.
That’s your opinion, and it’s completely valid, but what’s your justification for why someone else should agree?
Extending your logic to make my point, if a corpse is blurring the line, what about brain dead coma patients, especially ones that are infertile? Are they ok to rape? They’re alive and can’t reproduce, so what’s the difference, right?
Well, they’re alive, for one. Corpses by definition are not. And what we think of as “brain-dead” is the long-term and potentially permanent loss of consciousness and therefore sapience, but sentience is a bit harder to disprove.
Your standard seems to be “current or former sentient beings,” which is consistent, but you haven’t given a justification for the “or former” part. Current sentient beings experience suffering, so that’s a pretty good reason, but corpses don’t.
- Comment on Can someone explain how this wiring works? 5 weeks ago:
My guess is that the original power button shorts its trace to ground and the console is looking at that resistance to tell whether it’s pressed. Adding a replacement button just means putting something that can connect that trace to ground on demand.
- Comment on Can someone explain how this wiring works? 5 weeks ago:
Thanks for posting this! I was getting frustrated ten minutes ago about how my roommate’s dog keeps ejecting my 360 S’s disk tray. I’d use an E, but I don’t want to lose a USB port. I might have to do something like this.

It’s heavily disputed whether those translations are more accurate rather than just reading nuance where none exists. Some translations also interpret it as specifically about pedophilia, but again, they may or may not be more accurate than simply translating it as all M/M sex.
