• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do we assume paper towels are sterile, or at least clean?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Think about how long that paper has been sealed up in the plastic wrap. Germs and bacteria can survive for a limited amount of time. I submit anything on the paper towel is dead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Even if multiple people are online at the same time: why is time inconsistent (the sun is up in one place while it’s dark in another), you can ask friends what time it is in where they live (internationally) but receive different responses based on their surroundings. This person states it’s 08:00 while you reply it’s 23:00 on the same day with one difference: they’re starting the day while you’re about to finish it moving to another.

  This is the price of living on a oblate spheroid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would it be possible to make a network wide AI blocker?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Could a new category for Sponsorblock. Reach out to the developer and see if they want to add it.

  Ublock Origin has a couple of AI filter lists that might help you.

  github.com/…/uBlockOrigin-HUGE-AI-Blocklist

  codeberg.org/ArrayPirate/ShittyAiBlocklist

  There is also noai.duckduckgo.com but it lets in plenty of AI when doing an image search. This needs a lot of work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Paywalls on local news sites⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  | $83 subscription for online access to a free local paper is insane.

  If it’s anything like our “free” paper, the hardcopy has half the article with the rest on their website.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DuckDuckGo's "hide ai images" option still shows AI images that are clearly tagged on the site⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I use DDG NoAI and I’m still seeing AI images. The engine is supposed to hide that slop by default. I flag the images and hope they get blocked … eventually.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Syrian passports include a photo of Souq al-Hamidiyah in Damascus with the photographer’s watermark 'Wassim al-Asmar Photography' still visible.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Very true.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Syrian passports include a photo of Souq al-Hamidiyah in Damascus with the photographer’s watermark 'Wassim al-Asmar Photography' still visible.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You posted this 2 hours ago. Why did you feel the need to do so again?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hiccups just fucking suck⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can confirm this works. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve stopped hiccups doing this. Best if it’s done right away when the episode starts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This homeless character, who doesn't go to the gym and survives on junk food, somehow weights 300lbs of pure muscle⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You are correct. If I’m not mistaken it’s called the Salmon Ladder.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This FedEx driver has never won a round of Tetris in his life⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do the drivers load the truck? I doubt it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This homeless character, who doesn't go to the gym and survives on junk food, somehow weights 300lbs of pure muscle⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Have you noticed very few jacked characters lift any weights on tv? The only times I can recall a gym scene was on Brooklyn Nine Nine and Firefly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some things I can do as an apartment dweller to fight climate change/deal with the coming effects?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Avoid red meat and using AI.

  A window fan or two (one blowing in, the other blowing out) might help with the heat. Wouldn’t do anything for humidity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds more the description of a wife. Did you make a typo?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube won't let me search for music by musician unless I remove the word "naked" from her name⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Search for “bif na”. She is the first result.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This Avocado Oil that claims to be “0 Calories” 🙄⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe the amount of calories and fat is too small for typical measuring methods to register anything above 1 given the serving size. Of course, I don’t know how anyone can spray for 1/4 of a second with any close to accurate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A customized delivery experience⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Or it’s a chatbot that doesn’t understand food in the road isn’t good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would happen if you maxxed out your credit cards and line of credit then moved to some village in the phillipines?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Far more common is declaring bankruptcy. It’s totally legal, no need to leave the country.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are datacenters in space more lucrative than on earth?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Woosh

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are datacenters in space more lucrative than on earth?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And that matters … how?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are datacenters in space more lucrative than on earth?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I found several companies planning on launching data centers into orbit.

  Blue Origin, Orbital, Aetherflux, and Starcloud.

  Its my day off. I can do what i want. I’ll be lifting weights in a little while. No scrolling during a workout.

  I could be wrong but privacy.com is USA only.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  A wild guess … promoting violence is against the terms of service.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hypothetically if I found a suitcase of money by the side of the road, is there a legal way to claim it on my taxes?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe legally speaking, you take the money to the cops and if no one claims it after a certain amount of time, it’s yours.

  Of course, I’d be worried the drug dealers, for example, would come knocking for their lost money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨KeePassXC on Android caches its database⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I looked for and can’t find “Database caching” anywhere in KeepassDX’s settings. Maybe it’s the fork I’m using that doesn’t have it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would it be better to just have a lot of society be underground?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Always good to learn something new, thanks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would it be better to just have a lot of society be underground?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was thinking of a closed loop system not pumping moldy humid air into a house.

  Your idea isn’t bad but does need a space big enough for a technician to service the external unit. Also, the external part of a heat pump isn’t supposed to be enclosed. Not sure if a tunnel counts as enclosed or not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would it be better to just have a lot of society be underground?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Reduced heating a cooling costs could make building underground cheaper in the long run.
