  "I'm sorry we got caught on this."

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Static recompilation of Majora's Mask available for Windows/Linux⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It needs the American version of the game. Looks like I have to wait until other regions are covered, too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come liberals dont hate conservatives the way conservatives hate liberals⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Conservatives are afraid. They (at least the professionals and the GOP as an organisation) are well aware that they are on course to get irrelevent in the future. Not only are their politicians getting older, their voter base is getting older and shrinking. So the try everything in the book to stay relevant: Gerrymandering, reducing access to the voting process fro people who are unlikely to vote for them, etc. And as we all know, fear, or worse, existencial dread, leads to hate for the other side, the group of people seen as their very threat to their existence.

  They are basically cornered rats, clawing and biting the pest control man.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨car insurance⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So, basically, he had one accident per year. And he is not smart enough to understand that the universe is trying to tell him "Don't drive a car, then!"

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would happen if you drank bleach, and then drank ammonia?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It would give you a good chance to win a Darwin Award.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to remove smell from lunch box?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep. Denture cleaners are quite good for food-safe stuff. When we cleaned out grandmas flat, I put her cleaner tablets aside, astonishing the other family members with my move: "But you've got no dentures?!?!" Those pills are great for cleaning vases or thermos bottles.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK at risk of ‘failed election’ without major reforms, watchdog warns⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The Tories have been against changes to the system for ages. Now that they notice that without methods of proportional representation they will be out of jobs after the next election, this kind of change suddenly looks good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jingle bells Batman smells robin laid an egg...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Tom Scott did an interesting analysis of this "Batman Smells" thing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Brexit backer Dyson says hypocrisy claim over HQ move to Singapore 'incredibly harmful'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  To his profits, or what? He decided to march to the tune of the Leave lies. And then he again decided to basically flee the country for profits.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Welfare cuts worth billions planned by ministers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  "worth" billions. How many people will die because of this? And how will they channel this money to the billionaires?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Boris Johnson asked experts if you could kill Covid by blowing hairdryer up nose⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  He may be "well educated" in some definition of that term, but obviously not in any reality-relevant topic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone know the website that breaks down that Trump could potentially be the Antichrist?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  What ads?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Think anyone would notice?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  NOBODY wants Florida.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The route my package is taking that made it late⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Reminds me of my packets from California. 15 mins drive from the sender to the DHL center (15 mins in the center of LA, so they are really close). Two weeks wait in the DHL center. Transfer to the airport. Another two weeks wait at the airport. Flight to Frankfurt, one day at customs, next day here. Each and every month (it is a subscription service).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This concept for budget double decker airline seating⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  There are laws regulating how to transport pigs and cows to the slaughterhouse. They have more space than the passengers on this plane.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The original Apple Watch lineup is officially obsolete⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Just like watches can be more than just watches.

  Yes. Like needing to be recharged every night, and being obsolete after a handful of years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The original Apple Watch lineup is officially obsolete⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It had been from day one, just in case no-one noticed.

  The very idea of a "watch" that has a bunch of gimmics while completely fail the main job of providing the time over a long time without any hassle shows how absurd this product was from the very beginning.

  A good automatic, mechanical watch is way superior on that behalf. As a bonus, it looks better. And you don't have to press a button to actually see the time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Senior Tories warn: if we can’t offer policies to win over young, we’re ‘sunk’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  And after that, Tories will be a sidenote in the history books.

  High time for Pinata Economy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is everyone so giddy about the flooding thay happened at burning man?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I'm just surprised at the sheer stupidity of those people. There have been pictures on the net, showing the festival area completely submerged just a few days before the start. Yet, they still moved there.

  At that point, when they noticed that the mud was knee deep, they could have left. They decided to stay.

  Now there is an emergency involving 70k idiots who put themselves wilfully in a dangerous place without thinking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do folks managing servers mainly do so via command-line interfaces?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Na, I'm lazy. For the everyday things, there is webmin.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do folks managing servers mainly do so via command-line interfaces?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This I'd do if I had a room full of servers and a team that would tend them 24/7.

  I have a real job to do, and take care of one server on the side if necessary.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do folks managing servers mainly do so via command-line interfaces?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Both, actually. 95% web-GUI, and if something goes wrong, a bit of ssh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Those who are against iOS and Apple in general, have you tried their devices lately?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I oppose the Apple brand because of the typical users. They are a quite toxic group in my experience. For me, this is so bad, I would not even touch the IOS devices if they were actually good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Most motorists want noise cameras installed to clamp down on loud cars⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  With motorbikes there is the additional problem that most of their owners actually rework them to be louder. I can regularly hear the motorbikes on the bypass, which is about the same distance, with a hill in between. You don't hear the busy car traffic, but you hear the motorbikes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ulez: More than 300 cameras damaged or stolen in four months⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Less fuel-wasting cars anywhere would be a win-win over CCTV everywhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ulez: More than 300 cameras damaged or stolen in four months⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  So you want to get people become used to surveillance? Keep in mind that 1984 was a warning, not a handbook.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ulez: More than 300 cameras damaged or stolen in four months⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  That could be more easily achieved by increasing the taxes on polluting cars in general. There is no need for cameras at every corner.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ulez: More than 300 cameras damaged or stolen in four months⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  That could be done quite easy by just increase the tax on more wasteful and polluting cars. No need to put up cameras at each corner.
