- Comment on What do you do when you're lacking direction in life? 2 days ago:
I go talk to my therapist and get better about remembering my meds.
- Comment on 65% of workers are interested in ‘microshifting’ their schedules as an alternative to the strict 9-to-5: It’s ‘a way to reclaim control’ 1 week ago:
Most people just want to be able to work their way and only be judged on the work done. If for you that means you still want a strict 9-5 or whatever then go ahead. They’re not trying to stop your ability to do that.
- Comment on Mount an ISO in Linux? 2 weeks ago:
As others said there’s a command, but pretty sure you can just right click and click “Mount” without bringing up terminal
- Comment on Help, I'm already addicted XD 2 weeks ago:
I’m still trying to decide if I want to give it a shot. Got burnt out on Minecraft. Is it different enough from Minecraft with some mods?
- Comment on As Fortnite Enables Third-Party Microtransactions, Steal the Brainrot's Developer is Slammed By Fans For Immediately Adding $45 Premium Bundles and Gambling-Style Mechanics 2 weeks ago:
Lol. That’s got nothing to do with it. The adults stalking kids is what’s up.

They probably saw how much money Roblox makes and that public opinion is (finally) starting to turn on Roblox. They want that pie
- Comment on EU lawmakers to study ban 'loot boxes' and other addictive features in video games 4 weeks ago:
Your tastes may change and you might have changed as a person as you aged but there’s nothing to “grow out of”. Games aren’t inherently childish. Certain ones can be, but games as a whole aren’t
- Comment on Don't believe them 4 weeks ago:
It’s supposed to be a queue system. The people are handling a call, and when it’s handled, they look at the next in the queue and call them back.
- Comment on Linux has had a great year, but there are two reasons I can't tear myself away from Windows 5 weeks ago:
I’ve been in his exact same spot, at APEX, but with a Windows machine. This guy is definitely an idiot if he’s blaming Linux. Things just happen at shows and you have to be prepared. Anyone who’s worked expos knows to have a backup plan for their main thing. Sounds like his main thing was taking notes during interviews. So no notepad? No pen? No bootable USB with notes saved to it? Yeah, definitely user error.
He’s also quoting Alistair Mcfarlane, a nutjob who acts like the entire world is out to get him. Not the kind of guy who’s opinion you should care about.
And his argument about battlefield 6. “It’s probably been popular with some who don’t play many other multiplayer games at all.” I cherry picked but the entire paragraph feels like he’s trying to convince himself with vague “I dunno”.
He posts that list saying people can’t branch out to try multiplayer but his own list has about 500 games that work on Linux if I’m reading it right. Certainly options to branch out to.
Guy sounds like he’s trying to convince himself he’s right, not convince others.
- Comment on Is there a point we can track down when we stopped caring about doctors, nurses, teacher, etc? And thought it was a great idea to pay atheletes millions and screw everyone else? 5 weeks ago:
A lot of jackass answers in here but this is the answer to the spirit of the question.
Reaganomics or it’s other name “trickle down” economics is what you want to start looking into.
- Comment on Yes I know it doesn't work like that 5 weeks ago:
I dunno, they stopped the borehole due to high temperatures. Drilling under the ocean would mean easy water cooling.
- Comment on Is there a real, actually working way to earn money online without having a job? 5 weeks ago:
Just a simple loan to start off. Just a million dollar loan
- Comment on How do we know that the ratio between the circumference and the diameter of a circle is preserved across radius sizes? 5 weeks ago:
There’s kind of a meek proof built of of work Euclid and Archimedes. There’s a paper that goes over it (I know skimmed) arxiv.org/pdf/1303.0904

Just snagged this to watch next week
- Comment on Any games I missed in the last 21 months? 1 month ago:
Welcome back to the digital world 👨🏼💻
Another vote for Expedition 33. Literally best game I’ve ever played. Loved it so much.
A lot of people loving Dispatch but not tried it myself yet.
Blue Prince is unlike a lot of games I’ve played before, bring a notebook though.
Heard good things about Metaphor: Refantazio
Not a 2024 game but I’m still gonna plug Inscryption too if you haven’t played it. Such a fun little game.
- Comment on Gone too soon 1 month ago:
Oh that definitely I agree was wrong. Nothing in it really breaks canon what with all the timeline jumping and such both the show and movies did. Loki alone should have made S.H.I.E.L.D. canon
- Comment on Gone too soon 1 month ago:
I don’t think it was too soon. They kind of lost the plot when they moved on from trying to tie every season to a marvel movie. It was good and I loved it and I want more like it, but it was time
- Comment on The Game Awards begins 11 hours from now. What are you looking forward to? 1 month ago:
The real reason to watch
- Comment on Elon Musk, doing Elon Musk things. 1 month ago:
Honestly this world is ready for Vecna and I’ve got enough trauma in my past. Fuck it. Vecna come get me let’s open your gate man
- Comment on Change my mind 2 months ago:
Of course a sheep cheese philistine would argue in the comments. Get on the Llama cheese level
- Comment on Might not be efficient, but at least it... Uhhh, wait, what good does it provide again? 2 months ago:
If AI can do your job in minutes you’re either: A fool pumping out AI slop someone else has to fix and you don’t realize it.
Or
Doing a job that really shouldn’t exist.
LLMs can’t do more than shove out a watered down average of things it’s seen before. It can’t really solve problems, it can’t think, all it can do is regurgitate what it’s seen before. Not exactly conducive to quality.
- Comment on Forever young 2 months ago:
My buddy and I weren’t doing so hot last year and used Halo Infinite as our therapy. Pretty sure both of us alternated between being called a bot and a cheater every other match. It’s amazing sometimes just how bad you can do and still be called a cheater. (High plat to low diamond lobbies, we weren’t amazing)
- Comment on Google tells employees it must double capacity every 6 months to meet AI demand 2 months ago:
Moore’s “law” died back in 2016. It’s not held for a while now. The only way they can scale the way they want without a major breakthrough is more power and larger machines
- Comment on How far you've fallen 2 months ago:
Definitely not my experience at four different companies or what I’ve seen from my friends venting. I’m kind of jealous.
The only time I’ve gotten to improve things already written is when we had a specific contract to do so once. Other than that, yeah, small bug fixes but otherwise new development only.
- Comment on It's OK to just like lemon water. 2 months ago:
Oh good lord no. Who knows what bacteria they’ll start ingesting because the water is “raw”
- Comment on How far you've fallen 2 months ago:
You get to manage code? Once it’s shipped it’s gone. There’s no time for refactor and only tackle major bugs. That’s the corporate way
- Comment on How far you've fallen 2 months ago:
“Sometimes being a programmer isn’t about the code you write, it’s about knowing which libraries to use. It still takes skill.” I tell myself as I add my 20th nuget package instead of writing ten lines of code to reverse a string.

Although I agree and run a free grill myself, this looks like one of those computer controlled pellet smokers, not a regular grill. Not a straight comparison to grilling.
