- Comment on How is my bedroom being heated? 1 day ago:
Yeah; rising heat, plus the extra insulation of neighbours sharing walls. It’s uniform enough that the walls/floor doesn’t feel any warmer than usual, but it makes a difference.
- Comment on How is my bedroom being heated? 1 day ago:
Are you in a house or an apartment?
I’m on the fifth floor and pretty much never have to run my heat.
- Comment on Do snakes prefer to drink warm or cool water? 5 days ago:
I agree; only one good way to find out.

- Comment on Anon finds a hidden message in Shrek 2 weeks ago:
We don’t really know how old Donkey is, he may very well have ‘grown up’ by then.
But yeah; basically a human cosplaying as a donkey (with the help of some magic) fucked a dragon…
- Comment on Anon finds a hidden message in Shrek 2 weeks ago:
I still like the theory that Donkey is a Lost Boy escaped from Treasure Island before the full transformation took ober and he lost his voice.
- Comment on BioWare veterans confirm they were laid off by EA, including senior Dragon Age and Mass Effect devs 3 weeks ago:
Ordered merch from Bioware for an xmas present. It arrived Jan 4th; they shipped the wrong product.
Contacted them 3 seprate times through their ‘contact us’ page and got ignored for 3 weeks. It wasn’t until I filed a chargeback with my cc that they finally emailed me (4 days after submission).
I had asked for my money back in my various emails; but they didn’t respond to that at all and just shipped me a new package.
Still haven’t gotten that, so no idea if they actually shipped the right item this time. It’s not listed on their site anymore; so they likely don’t have inventory to ship.
We’ll see what’s in the box whenever it gets here.
I’ll never spend another dime with BioWare.
- Comment on Amazon Artificially Discounting Items $0.01 Below the Free Shipping Limit 3 weeks ago:
Sometimes the local prices are insane too.
I needed a new infrared thermometer the other day; cheapest one I could find locally that wasn’t a kids medical forehead thermometer with a tiny temperature range: $56 before tax.
Amazon shipped one for $25 incl tax+shipping.
I’m broke af atm. That makes a huge difference. I feel dirty even opening the app/site; but that price difference is absurd.
- Comment on It’s not like we put letters in some sort of “alphabetical” order. 4 weeks ago:
‘C’ is a special char here. All codes must start with it, leaving the rest grouped in two groups: numbers, then letters. X Y Z is a pretty common placholder for ‘11’ ‘12’ and ‘13’, so really that’s in the order you’d expect. ‘C’ will also function as a clear button, to begin entering a new code attempt. Probably why they chose ‘C’ as a simple label.
- Comment on Walgreens Replaced Fridge Doors With Smart Screens. It’s Now a $200 Million Fiasco. 5 weeks ago:
Good. What an awful concept. A whole bunch of extra screwing around trying to keep products aligned with what’s on screen along with maintenance and running costs; just so you can piss off your customers with a worse experience and waste more of their time with advertising nobody wants.

Twist the tigers tale 10 times and get bitten.
Most creatures: don’t twist the tigers tail.
Us: …what about 9 twists…?
- Comment on "Jokes on you, I'm into that shit" 5 weeks ago:
I was gonna say; not a lot of other creatures setup industrial farms… If you want to survive as a plant species, making humans like you isn’t a terrible strategy.
- Comment on Will getting my drivers liscense renewed mess with my employer checking my driving record? 5 weeks ago:
None of the relevant information changes (DL#, your actual driving record, your identity, etc), it’s mostly just to update photo and address if that’s changed, then give you a fresh card with a new expiry date. This will have no effect on your employer doing a driving records check. May as well do it while you know you have the time available.
- Comment on What do drain unclogging liquids actually do? 1 month ago:
Also, adding heat can really help a drain cleaner work.
I pour a pot/kettle of boiling water down the drain, add the cleaner, wait whatever it says to on the bottle, then dump a second pot of boiling water down to rinse.

Lava is just liquid rock
- Comment on I'm literally a thinking lump of fat 2 months ago:
You’re an electrified hunk of fat piloting a meat-covered skeleton riding on a damp rock that’s hurling through space and time.

OpticalCharacterRecognition is a pretty common practice that’s been around for decades…
- Comment on Can't install app because it isn't "certified" by the government 2 months ago:
That’s right; the Insane Clown Posse demands you register your apps with them for your saftey.
- Comment on Accounts that send a 2fa code to your email rather than using the 2fa code generator you've already setup for that account 3 months ago:
That and most accounts that use TOTP auth apps, let you bypass/disable them via email 2fa, while also letting you reset your password the same way…
Got access to your marks email? You’ve got both factors.
- Comment on How do I open something in the website? 4 months ago:
Android?
System settings > apps > Amazon > Set as default > ‘Open supported links’
Turn that off.
Or use a pc.

Stop looking so hard for victims to blame, Squid.
These people are probably sheltering in place but, again, they have time to kill until the storm falls.
- Comment on A rotating live feed of Tampa Bay-area webcams 4 months ago:
Until the storm actually begins to strike the area; theres not much point just hiding inside. Can’t leave, time to kill, I’m sure many public places are closed. May as well wander the beach while the beach is still there.
- Comment on A rotating live feed of Tampa Bay-area webcams 4 months ago:
Many people have no where to go, or no means to leave.
I’m not in that region, but if a similar event happened here; there’s only one place I could go besides just being homeless on the road, and that place would likely be impacted too.

There’s quite a bit of info here:
…wikipedia.org/…/List_of_Internet_top-level_domai…
Some are entirely open, some have usage restrictions like .gov and .edu, some had restrictions but later removed them.
- Comment on Work 4 months ago:
I remember doing this with a group of friends at one point. It was late at night, and we wanted to make as much noise as possible; so we were absolutely pounding on people’s doors before running and hiding in their bushes or around the corner. Wherever we could be out of sight, but still see their reaction as they opened the door and raged into the darkness.
One of my friends decided to kick one door, and managed to break the latch literally kicking the front door in… (must have been pretty weak/damaged already, we couldn’t have been more than 13yo at the time) We didn’t manage to hide in time and got chased for like 6 blocks before the guy was too tired to chase us anymore and we lost him.
(I’ll note this was not in America; firearms were not a concern in the slightest)
- Comment on What is the purpose of this plastic piece? 4 months ago:
It’s not really what the holes were made for, but there are some extension cords that have a locking feature; a pair of plastic pins moved by a lever that lock into those holes preventing it from unplugging. Handy for dragging power tools around the shop.
- Comment on Instead of having customers donate a dollar and giving them a coupon book "worth" $30, why doesn't KFC just donate those $30 themselves (or even half)? 5 months ago:
Coupons often drive sales for items that people usually wouldn’t buy themselves, sometimes even to people that normally wouldn’t shop there; then once they’ve tried something they haven’t had before, the customer is more likely to purchase that again in the future.
Then there’s additional items you add to the order beyond the coupon.
Finally there’s some rather insane profit margins on some of those items. Even with the coupon, they’re still making profit.

It rolls, kills all 6 tied up people, and everyone onboard.
