VIDEO calls
One of the bigger reasons I don’t want an iPhone. I’d much rather talk than text as it usually is quicker, but I hate video calls.

You do see how that’s a terrible idea, right?
- Comment on 5-minute oil change place 1 week ago:
I’ve been using Valvoline, but I bring my own oil and filter, and they actually do use a torque wrench on everything I can tell. It’s $60 (with coupon) for my 6.7 that I also have them rotate my tires, I’m in and out in 30 min, and I don’t have to dispose of the oil. Just turn down the the other services, especially the air filter (that I typically replace while I’m waiting in line), and they’re not too bad. I just wish they’d do my fuel filters, but LiAbIlItY.

- Comment on Software engineer lost his $150K-a-year job to AI—he’s been rejected for 800 jobs and forced to DoorDash and live in a trailer to make ends meet 4 weeks ago:
Eh, those Shasta ultralight travel trailers are certainly on the mid to lower mid end if the scale as far as travel trailers go, especially if it doesn’t have a slide and he got it used. It’s also single axle as far as I can tell and a little older, so probably in the neighborhood of 24’, not exactly luxurious

When I want to support an artist, I’ll buy a vinyl or other merch. It’s kinda difficult to justify spending the money on the CD or download when I all i want is an unrestricted flac file.

- Comment on How does Netflix, HBO and other services get their subtitles? Are they now using AI to help translate? 4 weeks ago:
Of all the big services, Netflix subtitles are notoriously bad though. Like missing entire sentences or just flat out wrong.

That actually sounds rather pleasant, minus the book. Air travel is great for books.
- Comment on The clueless people are out there among us 5 weeks ago:
The on/off switch always struck me as odd. Like, in a recessed plug such as this where the male prongs have a bit of insulation to them, are they really that worried about a tiny arc that might occur when someone forgets to turn off the device? Like it would make more sense to have a limit switch built into the socket that activates on insertion and deactivates on removal. And even then, with our caveman sockets in the US, a small arc isn’t the end of the world, you just know not to have your fingers near the shiny bits.
- Comment on What American small talk sounds like to European 🇪🇺 5 weeks ago:
American dude here, right there with you. Just some of these conversations you overhear from girls in their 20s or even 30s is mind numbing, and they can keep going until the sun comes up. And they’re loud.
My wife and I saw Dead and Co last year at the sphere in Vegas, and there were these two women behind us that wouldn’t shut up the entire show, just talking like you’d envision two teenagers gossiping out their asses.
I think a lot of it just comes from a complete lack of social awareness, and if they’re the slightest bit pretty, they’ve likely never been checked for being rude or obnoxious.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Nah I’m with you. It’s just unbelievably lame that we have to be careful about seeking help for the possibility of having it used against us.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
I’ll be honest, you’ve just justified a years long paranoia regarding doctors and therapists I’ve had. The likelihood of me being a target for anything is extremely low, but that fact that any goon in the government can get access to medical records and (even worse) therapy records that can be used against you for whatever purpose they deem necessary is unsettling. I’ve always been leery about letting on what’s going on in my mind, and this kinda just confirms it.
Luckily I haven’t needed to go to a doctor outside of urgent care for simple stuff in a very long time, but I’m also reaching the age where I need to start paying attention, so off to Mexico I go.

Indeed, I think the entire idea that needs focus is distributing away from a handful of large corps, although I don’t see streaming going in that direction largely due to IP rights for content, not necessarily bandwidth and resources. Many streaming platforms as I understand already have their content distributed through CDNs that are geographically dispersed as to ease network load, though they retain control over that hardware. I’m proposing providing more options for your average joe website than on something controlled by the likes of Amazon and Microsoft.
