- Comment on Why do most comedians have different drinks to drink? Most have water, Ricky usually has beer, some have whiskey and such. I get the lights make them thirst. But why not all water or something? 1 day ago:
Yeah I wouldn’t buy anybody drinking whiskey on stage. Sipping beer, maybe.
- Comment on I Played Piano with My Washing Machine 6 days ago:
especially refrigerators
I moved into a flat that already had a Samsung fridge in it, tall thing with a freezer at the bottom. The noise it makes (gurgling, rattling, vibrating…) is just unbelievable. I also think the temp regulation is not working quite right, I can’t seem to adjust it. But I like my fridge very cold, so I guess that’s OK. I complained to my landlady and she answered: “so, is it so bad that we have to throw it away?” Apparently repairing is not an option. Even if I don’t have to pay for it, I don’t like the idea of throwing away a perfectly usable appliance. So I installed a door and keep my kitchen closed now.
WTF is up with Samsung?
- Comment on A long while ago I heard of an Asian country, I think it was Japan, that could make you disappear. Is this actually possible? They don't murder they just remake your life an image online. How? 6 days ago:
Maybe you’re thinking about the Man from Taured?
In 1954, a Caucasian man was arrested at the airport upon entering Japan because they couldn’t classify his passport and didn’t know the issuing country.
When he is shown a map so he can tell where he is from, he points to Andorra and calls it “Taured”. He cannot understand why no one knows about this country that, according to him, has existed for 1,000 years.
He is taken to a hotel and two police officers guard his room while the case is further investigated. When you go to visit him again, the room is empty and there is no trace of the man from Taured. Did he come from a parallel universe?

- Comment on Planted chillies, neighbouring tree infested the planter. 1 week ago:
Haha, something similar happened to me - thankfully just with a common potted plant: despite being extremly easy to take care of, it was doing worse and worse. All of it, except for one branch (or so I thought) that was also a deeper green.
Turns out something else started growing in there and killed off the original plant.
That other plant is still growing there now. I think it might be a lemon or orange plant.
- Comment on How do you vet a person asking to be a mod? Unlike others don't want to read their entire post history. How come pretty much no one is asking to be a mod on c/askhistorians? 1 week ago:
Not an exact answer, but:
I tried modding once, because essentially I see the necessity. However, the head mod (this was on reddit, and there’s a hierarchy built into the system) was power-tripping badly, unwilling to communicate with other mods or mod decisions, showering misbehaving users with insults. Their POV was: it’s shit work, don’t make it worse for me by wanting to talk about it. What a stupid opinion to have about voluntary unpaid work. Ultimately I got kicked out by the mod and I realized I’ll never take this on again. Last laugh’s on me though, I have now created a community & also mod it…

Eh, not really. OP just fundamentally misunderstood some things. And probably refused to read up on them.
- Comment on Local news did an entire segment featuring a guy who's mad about having to drive more carefully. 2 weeks ago:
- yes, those gigantic trucks need to fuck right off (the expert also essentially said that)
- it is meant to make people drive slower and more carefully. If they don’t do that then yes, that means more accidents
- good project but in my country those 2 poles every 100 yards or so wouldn’t be enough. Yes, it costs a little more to implement this properly
Considering I just came up with good arguments, maybe those 3min weren’t wasted after all.

Um. If you really live like that you should change now.
I always get flustered when I see statements like these. I do my shopping IRL. In the past I used to visit specialised shops (electronics parts etc.) - but I lived urban then, now I live in the countryside and I almost exclusively order such stuff online. That has changed.
Am I an exception? Doesn’t look like it when I go shopping.
- Comment on How a USB-connected speaker can infect a PC without ever being touched 2 weeks ago:
IIRC long ago I read that this is a flaw/feature of the USB protocol itself.
Maybe “Seller (..) doesn’t consider the behavior a vulnerability” … ah wait, I’m gonna read the article now.
Right, the real culprit isn’t the USB connection but Creative’s proprietary but totally unprotected transfer protocol that allows third parties to communicate with the device both ways, even load new firmware. No code signing there, either.
I find both headline and first half of the article misleading; this is not restricted to one specific device. Most likely not even to one specific manufacturer.
But it ends with
It also raises the question: What other Bluetooth devices open users to the same attacks?

And those are “only” halogen. It’s gotten much worse since then. Like you said, a sort of arms race.

It is.

Totally agree. I’ve never even been to the American continent and I feel OP’s question. I wrote a top-level comment further down.
Anyhow:
automatic high beams
This is a thing now?!
I shouldn’t be surprised. The stretch of motorways I use every day has tunnels, and I noticed that many if not most newer cars’ tail lights get brighter inside it. And I’m not imagining this. And it makes no sense when you think about it; if anything, it should be the other way ’round. It’s just more computer-made gimmickry designed to rope in customers.
(Yes, lights need to be on also during daytime in this EU country.) - Comment on Why have we as a society just accepted the increasingly blinding bright lights of cars? 3 weeks ago:
Here’s my take:
There used to be a time when headlights really did not penetrate the night as much as they could, esp. with increasing speeds.
Making them brighter was reasonable. So they invented Halogen lights. But at some point the whole thing ran away I suppose, making them even brighter became a selling point.
Add to that the SUV effect: “most importantly, me and my loved ones are safe in this rolling fortress”, you can see how we got here.
I used to drive a very, very old car. Now there’s a law in Germany that allows older cars to keep on running the way they used to even if the same aspects would be illegal in a newer car. This car did not even have Halogen lights. I had trouble seeing, every time another car passed me on the road. The difference in brightness was - well, blinding. It was legit dangerous.
I believe the brightness of Halogen lights is totally sufficient.

- Comment on What do you think goes through an animal’s mind and POV? 3 weeks ago:
I’m currently reading a book (Robbin Hobb, Farseer trilogy pt. 2) that deals with this.
I really like how it describes animal thought & communication:
The author translates very reasonable impulses and non-language thoughts for a dog/wolf to have into prose that the hero of the book can relate and respond to. Yes, they have a telepathic connection; that’s the fantasy part.
It’s not precise of course, but I find it pretty reasonable from a scientific pov while still fit for a fantasy novel.
Basically, the above exapmple and I agree with the currently top comment by @e0qdk@reddthat.com.

The real problem here is that policy by decree (aka executive order) must end. POTUS concentrates way too much power, it’s hardly a state of law anymore. And that all started long before even Trump1.0.
