  We are all Virginia on this glorious day

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Minecraft's recent EULA changes place heavy restrictions on Java servers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This sort of thing seems to happen far too often since Microsoft took over.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You just won the Mega Millions⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d give away about half and keep half.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When Baldur's Gate 3 came out, Steam's overall bandwidth consumption went from around 18 Tbps to 146 Tbps⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah looks similar to Divinity Original Sin 2. I installed a camera mod on that so I could get lower and closer, but that of course caused some weirdness in the skybox.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why so many people get triggered about ads nowadays?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Ads as a general concept are ok to me, otherwise a lot of the Internet that is free will either go away or cost money. It’s just how many ads and what type. Pop-up ads are bad, too many ads are bad, ads that are deceptive are bad. They need to be small, curated, non-intrusive, and non-deceptive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When Baldur's Gate 3 came out, Steam's overall bandwidth consumption went from around 18 Tbps to 146 Tbps⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s always amusing to me when a game has a huge download size but is also an overhead view game and you probably can’t even get the camera close enough to the world objects to see the full texture detail.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube recomending shorts to premium⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t get the hide option any more. Resistance is futile.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox Cloud Gaming is seeing increased queue times as demand surges⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t imagine waiting in a queue to play a single player game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should I?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  No hitting or I’ll tell mom.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are ways Renters (of a house) can get into alternative energy?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You could build a solar heater to help with heating in the winter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sweet tea⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah that is my trick too. Or half sweet tea and half water.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DON'T⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  DONUT

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Divinity Original Sins 2: An unbelievably awesome game⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a great game, very cool and crazy interactions can happen. But I never got totally invested in the map and story. That may be because I was playing coop. The difficulty is a bit tricky, at one level constantly retreating and throwing barrels is the only way to barely win. Go one notch down on difficulty and I never lose a battle.

  Also it irks me that physical armor prevents me from knocking someone over.

  But even thought I may never finish it, it’s a very unique game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do all the people do in rural area towns and unincorporated areas?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Out business does electronic assembly and sells the products online and sells web services.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I just subscribed to Lifehacker a few days ago, and now I've unsubscribed. The articles are nothing but tech product-shilling, non-stop. Mostly Samsung and Apple.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I like most of what Jalopnik has at least.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a way I can force my garage open from the outside?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes but OP says:

  opener is from 1999.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a way I can force my garage open from the outside?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The side springs at least are harmless if the door is up and they are not under any tension. But you just have to be double sure the door is secure in the up position.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a way I can force my garage open from the outside?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Get a new opener, they are like $15.

  But you can’t get into your garage if there is a power outage? I would work on that problem.
