- Comment on The universe thinks you're gay. 1 day ago:
Or just that “haha rainbow gay”?
Just because there happens to be a rainbow in the image? I’m not sure where you’re getting this at all… There’s absolutely 0 reference to LGBTQ content here.
Seems very clearly ‘the universe is laughing at how small your range perception is’ to me.
- Comment on I knew I should have cancelled the order 😑 1 week ago:
Note, this was over 15 years ago; their policy has shifted in that time. I don’t believe the shipping requirement was that strict at the time.
- Comment on I knew I should have cancelled the order 😑 1 week ago:
Yup, that was really stupid. A hard lesson learned for literally the first package I’d ever shipped myself.
If I remember correctly though; ebay took the buyers side and refunded them before even informing me of the dispute. While I didn’t have evidence to refute it besides a receipt for shipping, they hadn’t really given me the opportunity to even try… Plus at 14 I wasn’t willing to lose $1k and the cards. :/
- Comment on I knew I should have cancelled the order 😑 1 week ago:
That was well over 15 years ago now; I do not. I’d imagine the price has also risen a tad, not something I’ve looked into in quite a while. (I had sold at a similar price to comparable sets on ebay at the time)
- Comment on I knew I should have cancelled the order 😑 2 weeks ago:
I’ve been permanently banned from ebay since I was 14.
Sold an original Alpha set of MTG cards for over $1k. Shipped it without tracking like a moron. Buyer disputed, claimed they never received it; ebay immediately refunded them and came after me for the funds. I said f that and walked away. They didn’t do much to try and collect (not sure they even can against a minor in Canada), but banned my account.
Since; I’ve tried to make a couple other accounts once or twice, and buy or sell stuff. Those got removed and orders cancelled within 24hrs.
- Comment on California is debating whether or not to remove the bike lane on the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge. During the public hearing, a politician was driving his car 2 weeks ago:
Did anyone call him out for this during the meeting?
There’s a public comment section, right? Straight up ask why he feels it’s appropriate be deciding matters of public saftey while actively endangering the public himself by distracted driving during this very meeting.
- Comment on These shipping tape things 2 weeks ago:
They work great until someone drops it and bends the frame. As soon as there’s misalignment it’s becomes frustrating garbage.
Working warehousing, I bought my own and tethered it to my push cart because every one in the building kept getting destroyed by other employees.
- Comment on They made his car "cease & desist" 3 weeks ago:
Until this; I’d never heard of that rapper, and this drove lots of people to at least find the song that supposedly led to the C&D/stranding(real or not).
- Comment on They made his car "cease & desist" 3 weeks ago:
And everyone is just like “that’s totally something they would do! Lol”… What?
Keep in mind pretty much everyone on this platform already hates Tesla and does not nor would they own a Tesla vehicle. There’s also a certain ‘you got what you deserve by buying that’ kind of attitude towards Tesla owners.
This is behaviour we expect from this shit company and it doesn’t directly effect any of us commenting on it. We just get to point and laugh (for now).
The discussion might be a little different if it was a less expected brand like IKD, Audi. But who’s to say for sure; there’s been a lot of ‘cattle’ behaviour lately.
- Comment on Should I unplug my smart tv from the internet? 3 weeks ago:
A smart TV is primarily a surveillance device that also happens to display video.
- Comment on How do AI data centers manage to *consume* water, but when I cool my house, my A/C *makes* water? 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, thermodynamics are a thing. I’m not trying to claim some free energy system saying you could power the whole data center; but if you could re-capture some of the waste heat and convert it back into electricity, putting that energy to work instead of just venting to atmosphere, it could potentially help offset some of the raw electrical needs. An efficiency improvement, that’s all.
- Comment on How do AI data centers manage to *consume* water, but when I cool my house, my A/C *makes* water? 3 weeks ago:
Collect and condense the hot water vapor, concentrate the heat until you’ve got steam; then pump it through a steam turbine recapturing that energy as electricity.
I’m sure there’s some difficulties and nuances I’m not seeing right away, but it would be nice to see some sort of system like this. Most power plants generate heat, then turn that into electricity. Data centers take electricity and turn it back into heat. There’s gotta be a way to combine the two concepts.
- Comment on When one earbud decides to not charge and I need to remove it from the case and put it back. And I even sometimes don't realize that... 4 weeks ago:

Excellent sound quality, durable+replaceable cables, and options between a TRS(aux) cable, USB C cable, or even a Bluetooth adapter.
- Comment on When one earbud decides to not charge and I need to remove it from the case and put it back. And I even sometimes don't realize that... 4 weeks ago:
I’ve made a habit of wiping the contacts on the earbud and case before putting it away, then I give the bud a bit of a wiggle once it’s in so the contacts rub together and hopefully dislodge/break through any dirt or oil.
- Comment on Could one legally get a hold of those bank bill dye security dye packs, dye your own legally obtained cash with it, and spend it places? Just to make people suspect you're secretly a bank robber. 4 weeks ago:
Intentionally defacing/altering currency is a federal offence in itself. Though rarely enforced unless particularly egregious or you intend to defraud someone with it (like altering a 10 to be a 100 for example).
Aside from that, any business you attempted to spend it at could and likely would simply refuse to accept it.
At best you’d be left with a bunch of bills that can only really be exchanged for new ones at a bank. At worst you could face roughly $100 in fines+6mo in jail for each bill defaced.
- Comment on New Android POS at work has 4 notifications but I can't clear them because their MDM locks the notification bar. 5 weeks ago:
We have company issued android phones with bluetooth headsets while on-premises (they work as ptt radios between staff, and they’re linked to the business phone so we can directly answer calls for our departments.).
There’s like 7 locked notifications and it regularly plays notification sounds but very very rarely displays any notifications that are actually relevant to you.
Finally it automatically logs you out after exactly 8hrs, even if you’re actively typing/using the device. Shifts are 8.5-9hrs including lunch.
- Comment on Why don't women like to be called females? 5 weeks ago:
Gender culture aside, the terms ‘Male’ and ‘Female’ sound really… clinical. Depending on the context, it’s so formal that it’s bizarre. Like an alien trying to fit in.
“Hello, fellow males, what are doing today.”

What in the fuck are you (un)packing that needs 64+ threads???

- Comment on Streaming Viewership Surpassed Cable and Broadcast Combined for the First Time Ever in May, Nielsen Finds 2 months ago:
Live sports is one of the only things that still makes sence to have live tv for. Pirate sources for live games is difficult; but I’m not much of a sports fan anyway, so that’s never really enticed me.
- Comment on Streaming Viewership Surpassed Cable and Broadcast Combined for the First Time Ever in May, Nielsen Finds 2 months ago:
I haven’t had a live TV service in at least 12 years. I had traded it for Netflix, back when it was the king of streaming services; but that went to shit and got replaced with Emby/Usenet a decade ago. Haven’t paid for media since, baring the very very occasional theatre visit.

If I ever look up at the night sky and see a billboard shining down at me from space (literally or through some kind of mind/vision altering tech like nuralink) I’m becoming an anarchist.

That’s why we gave them minecraft.
- Comment on Unsubscribe page that crashes when you try to unsubscribe 3 months ago:
I’ll try the unsubscribe link, if that fails I’ll directly email addresses like contact@company.example, info@, support@, service@, hr@, admin@, abuse@ requesting I be removed from their mailing lists.
If all those fail (I’m still getting spam later), I whois lookup the domain and send a complaint the listed abuse address for the registrar. That typically goes through AWS who follows up asking for the email source headers to investigate.
It usually ends there.
- Comment on REVENGE 4 months ago:
Maybe, but the homeless crackhead shambling through the lot at 3am like a zombie doesn’t give a fuck and will kick that thing as hard as he can muster.
Move it anyway; at least it will have a chance instead of painting a massive target on it with those cones.
