- Comment on Don't covet thy neighbors corn 1 day ago:
Iive seen people eat corn by rotating it and bitting kernels off the side, I’ve seen people stand corn up on a plate and cut kernel off with a knife, I’ve never seen anyone deep throat a corn cob while trying to suck the kernels off.
These church people just seem deeply confused about how corn works.

I had this same issue with a Samsung dryer years ago. Weird as hell rubbing noise but as far as I could tell no actual mechanical issue. Realized that lifting the front end made it stop immediately. Tried adjusting the feet but that didn’t resolve if consistently.
I shoved a 2in high piece of wood under the front lip and the machine has never made the noise again. Still going strong.
- Comment on Resetting XBOX - Compulsion Games and Double Fine to go indie again, Ninja Theory and Undead Labs "to join new ownership" 5 days ago:
Never believe executive speak. I had a CFO claim to a large group of people that they were canceling the “free transit” passes once because someone used it 16 times in one day.
The passes dont even allow that due to a 2 hour grace period, nor would that be a good justification to screw over 2000 people with bus passes anyway, but it sure sounded like an outrageous abuse of the companies generosity, so thats the lie they told to justify it. The reality is that it saved the company more than 100k/year, and the CFO was canceling any program that they didn’t personally benefit from that met that criteria.

US spends 1,000,000,000,000/year on a military, drastically more than every other country on earth combined, and some wastral is somehow whining about the nothing we spend on saving millions of human lives that also, get this, gives us soft power that is drastically outsized to the cost of the spending.
Huh, duh, I wonder if a country that can spend a trillion dollar/yr on its military can spend 1/1000 of that to save people and give us leverage on trade/resources/etc.

Its a national monument, which have rules about “removing marerials” in the law protecting them.
Its a pretty thin offense, and this is a wild over reaction, which is always a facists favorite move when they are wrong in a very visible way.
- Comment on Steam Machine pricing announced (from $1049-$1428 USD), reservation lists open 2 weeks ago:
Base price was supposed to be $750 for the 512 model. I would expect $899 at most for a 2TB model back at pre AI bullshit prices to miss the “1k” negative headline they are riding now. The 150 upvharge for 2TB would have been totally in spec, if a bit expensive as they were going for under $100 for a while.

One version of the show even had it in the contracts that the show automatically got something like 5% of their company just for appearing.
The public outrage got that cut out before airing, but it was amazingly exploitive.

I’d take the hit with social D. I also considered propigandi and quibbled with adding rage against the machine, but they split genres a bit, although the spirit to me is raw punk.
- Comment on Punk rock 4 weeks ago:
Agreed. The Clash, Dead Kennedys, Misfits, Bikini kill, the offspring, on and on.
Fuck man, I would put them both under Green day, because at least Green day stood for something with its pop punk.

Zipper merge is always the most efficient if people dont prevent merges, regardless of road conditions. It means both open lanes are used to move cars forward until the last moment when they cannot. “Move over early” means less throughput in the system, no matter “how open” one lane is at some point.
By blocking merges, you causes braking, which is what causes traffic. You framing people driving efficiently to prevent traffic as “people trying to force their way in last minute” means its you creating traffic, not them.
You’re arguing from a sense of moral suppority, I.e “I got in line early, you should have to,” not from a sense of efficently moving cars down a road.

I have it working without issue just via steam now. Deleting the game and enabling the proton experimental option in the comparability option downloaded he modern game. On start, it opened a browser tab and had me link my steam/epic accounts, and bobs your uncle.
I have heroic launcher installed for gog/epic, but its not involved with this. Its good to know there is an alternative install path possible.

Always big talk, no action. The left owns hella guns, we just dont broadcast it.
I’m not talking about civilian revolt in the above. I’m talking about a governor mobilizing the national guard, doing what’s right, and building public support by doing it.
These people are cowards who use bluster to disarm action. Theycwant you talking instead of doing. We need to stop that and start swinging.
- Comment on Gov. Sherrill Demands Access to ICE Facility as Hunger Strike Widens 1 month ago:
How would you know? Its never been done. 6 years ago we would have said the same about a violent ijssurection at the capitol that almost derailed the transfer of power, but instead all of those terrorists will be millionaires on our dime.
There is no way to know what would happen I’m the above case. That’s the constitutional crisis I’m recommending they force. Its entirely possible the people rally around the governor and instead push for real change, refusing to let the guard be federalized.
The only thing the feds can do them is bring the actual army in, and that broaches another constitutional crisis. Will they start an actual civil war, or will they buckle to the intense pressure of a unified people and actually relent to democracy?
- Comment on Gov. Sherrill Demands Access to ICE Facility as Hunger Strike Widens 1 month ago:
Call up the national guard. Walk up with 1000 troops in a battalion loaded for bear. Demand access or else. Follow through with the “or else” if they push you.
Force the constitutional crisis. Now is the time.

Which version of proton? I can start the game and play bots, but the multiplayer is not availble for steam/epic friends. Literally no multiplayer browser loads at all.

Acne is mainly genetic, and only somewhat affected by environmental factors.
Mostly acne stems from people making too mnay oil/hair/skin cells, to the point that then clog pours. Using a quality cleanser will generally help, but mainly its a lottery that you dont have acne.

She’s a hell of a signer. Her music just roars with life.
I don’t like country, but she sits in the same spot the highwaymen does in my eyes. The music pushes past taste and into legend.
- Comment on Subnautica 2 Early Access Gameplay Trailer 1 month ago:
Taking the commander role was a fun option in Nat selection 2 that didn’t require fast twitch reflexes.
I didn’t play much but I grabbed the hot seat once for the humans and the team of randos I was playing with were super pumped someone actually opted to play the RTS instead of the FPS. They were super supportive even as I fumbled around.

- Comment on Krafton still supporting Subnautica 2 launch despite Steam page change 2 months ago:
25 million over about 250 employees, so maybe 100k each, although not likely to be evenly split.
About in line with what happened when Minecraft sold to Microsoft. Shitty redpill notch makes 4 billion, decade long employees that made Minecraft into a succeas make 6 figures at best.

Ive biked to work for years and only had 2 bad crashes. Both involved slamming hard into pavement at speed, one had me slide into a tree. Both times I hit my shoulder/arm/hip hard and was honestly very dazed, but in neither time did I hit my head.
You can shake a bike accident off if you get lucky in how you hit the ground.
