- Comment on Did Ukraine provoke Russia by building a dam? 5 days ago:
(he ad pivoted to the NATO encroachment defense of the war) and I said even if there was a valid contract
Two things about this ‘NATO encroachment’ angle people like to bring up:
-
There was never an agreement that NATO cannot accept new members. Even Gorbachev, the last leader of the Soviet Union, the person whom the agreement would have been made with, calls such a claim a myth.
-
One has to ask why countries want to join NATO. It is something they have to apply for, something they have to work for. Why do they want this security guarantee? Who are they afraid of?
It’s Russia. It’s Russia invading everyone around them that has pushed countries to join NATO. Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine have all been occupied by Russia. Is it a wonder why former Soviet states like Poland, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania so badly want protection from Russian invasion?

No problem, man! The annoying thing about disinformation is it spreads so easily. While attempting to tease out truth can take much, much more effort.
The biggest thing is teaching people how to be critical of what they hear and seek verification when something seems off. Problem is, once you get too far in, the truth is what seems off and it can take quite awhile to dig yourself back out, assuming you are even willing to try, which most aren’t.
- Comment on Did Ukraine provoke Russia by building a dam? 6 days ago:
He is probably referring to the North Crimean Canal which fed water into Crimea. In 2014, Russia invaded Ukraine and occupied Crimea. Ukraine shut down the canal as they are under no obligation to provide water for crops in Russian occupied territory.
This canal was fed by water from Kakhovka Dam’s reservoir. However, Russia blew up this Ukrainian dam in 2023, which has since cut off all potential possibility to fill the canal.
In summary, Russia invaded Ukraine, fucked a bunch of shit up, killed a ton of people, and is trying to pin the blame on Ukraine.
- Comment on YouTube’s Sneaky AI ‘Experiment’ 1 week ago:
This wouldn’t bother me if the creator could opt-in and users could opt-out. But, both are being forced into this. And I just hope in a year or two it doesn’t turn out Google fucked every classic video.
- Comment on VW introduces monthly subscription to increase car power 1 week ago:
modern cars are Internet-connected
This in itself is terrifying. It isn’t like they are going to provide security updates for your car for decades. Unplug that modem, no reason for your car to be exposed to the internet.
- Comment on VW introduces monthly subscription to increase car power 1 week ago:
I couldn’t believe that some companies would pay a quarter of a million for a server that is intentionally stunted/limited unless you pay even more.
Well, there is a reason AMD has been kicking ass in the server space lately. Mostly because Intel sat on their ass for awhile, but IBM scalping customers certainly provided a larger opening for AMD.
- Comment on Microsoft's latest Windows 11 24H2 update breaks SSDs/HDDs, may corrupt data 1 week ago:
50GB of write is pretty easy to get to. That is a single game download.
So, if you own an affected drive, gotta be really fucking careful using Steam on Windows.
- Comment on Rumor: There Is A Performance Gap Between Switch 2 Game Cards Vs. Internal Storage 2 weeks ago:
The Switch could easily copy the game from the card to the local SSD and remove any performance penalty. Just like computers used to do with games on CD.
- Comment on Krafton claim former Subnautica 2 leads have "resorted to litigation to demand a payday they haven't earned" 2 weeks ago:
They shouldn’t have promised a massive bonus for an on-time delivery if what they actually wanted was a fully baked game. You get the performance your KPIs measure.
- Comment on Does putting clothes in the closet protect them from dust, or is the dust in there too? 2 weeks ago:
I have heard both quarterly and twice a year. There really is a ton of ‘it depends’. Mostly, does it look caked on after a quarter? If not, twice a year is fine.
- Comment on GitHub folds into Microsoft following CEO resignation — once independent programming site now part of 'CoreAI' team 2 weeks ago:
site now part of ‘CoreAI’ team
Are they trying to make GitHub into something that creates code instead of something used for collaboration and hosting of code? Ewww.
- Comment on Does putting clothes in the closet protect them from dust, or is the dust in there too? 2 weeks ago:
Vastly cheaper and healthier than mold.
Never fuck around with water/humidity as a home owner. Do it right.
- Comment on Does putting clothes in the closet protect them from dust, or is the dust in there too? 2 weeks ago:
PSA: Change your HVAC’s air filter if you haven’t yet this quarter.
- Comment on Does putting clothes in the closet protect them from dust, or is the dust in there too? 2 weeks ago:
Dehumidifier in the summer, particularly in basement areas, is a good idea as well. The AC will lower humidity, but depending on your setup may not fully lower it to the right level.
- Comment on Is it worth selling on eBay in 2025? 3 weeks ago:
EBay is worth it for anything that is easy to ship (read: small) and has decent value. Particularly if that thing is fairly niche so you need a wider net to catch people. Do note there are effectively zero seller protections on EBay, it’s not hard for a buyer to scam you.
For anything that is hard to ship, Cragislist or FB Marketplace is a much better stop. And, since you sell with cash, the deal is complete once you part.
- Comment on Steam Survey for July 2025 shows Linux approaching 3% 3 weeks ago:
An interesting fact: English-language adoption of Linux on Steam is over 2x the overall, all-language adoption. This mostly cuts out Chinese (25% of users), Russian (8% of users), and Spanish (5% of users). Seems America and Europe is adopting while China isn’t.
- Comment on Steam Survey for July 2025 shows Linux approaching 3% 3 weeks ago:
Just avoid the games that use them.
Agreed. I have no desire to give EA root access to my system, full access to everything I do on it … just to play a game.
- Comment on AWS deleted my 10-year account and all data without warning 3 weeks ago:
The cloud is just someone else’s computer.
you should never trust cloud providers with your only copy of anything
Absolutely not. That data should be in at least two places. A local and a remote is the general setup. If a cloud provider is the main source of the data, the ‘remote’ location would probably be your house. ;p
- Comment on Solar is now 41% cheaper than fossil fuels, UN report shows 3 weeks ago:
Thank you for the link, that is exactly what I was looking for.
For the chat, going to link the main graph with that info (page 8):
- Comment on Solar is now 41% cheaper than fossil fuels, UN report shows 4 weeks ago:
I wish these reports would include required other costs, as solar needs to be paired with grid-scale storage or, more often, peaker natural gas plants. Both of witch are pretty expensive.
It may still be cheaper, I honestly don’t know, because all the reports leave such necessary, and expensive, things out.
- Comment on Battlefield 6's PC specs don't look too lofty despite all the booms, and Steam players won't need the pesky EA App 4 weeks ago:
And for Windows players, this means the game will have root access to everything on your machine. I can’t imagine desiring to give up that much control just for a game.
- Comment on Is it possible to make wireless charging broadcast electricity throught an entire house similar to how wifi can broadcast to the entire house? 4 weeks ago:
I believe you would end up inducing currents in any metal surface in the house. Causing them to heat up, or if they are un-shielded electronics, zapping them.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
any game at max settings, 4K, future proofed
You basically asked for the beefiest computer possible. And those specs are certainly the beefiest computer possible.
- Comment on At this point who in the world could stop Trump over doing something totally illegal? Like lets say using bunker buster bombs to destroy DEM cities? Or is USA communially FUCKED? 5 weeks ago:
You need hundreds of people all working together to drop a bomb on a US city. Commanders, officers, maintenance workers, ordinance loaders, pilots, navigators, even base MPs.
You really think you can get all of these people to agree to drop a bomb on a civilian US city?
Come now.
- Comment on [Gamers Nexus] The ASUS Dumpster Fire 1 month ago:
Yeah, ASUS is in an awful state. Their Armory Crate malware* really just takes the cake on the whole thing.
*It literally survives through a full format and will run on your computer without any human interaction if you buy an ASUS mohterboard. It’s malware.

Better than VII!

Please go submit yourself to the agency for anti-aging research. The world needs you!
