This is the guy in charge of medical advice for the United States. Lacking even basic scientific knowledge.
- Comment on I'm gonna die on this hill or die trying 1 week ago:
I still double space after a period, because fuck you, it is easier to read. But as a bonus, it helped me prove that something I wrote wasn’t AI. You literally cannot get an AI to add double spaces after a period. It will say “Yeah, OK, I can do that” and then spit out a paragraph without it. Give it a try, it’s pretty funny.

Who says that?
- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, I just switched to Jellyfin because of the Plex updates to their accounts, but I miss Plexamp. I considered running both Jellyfin and Plex just for plexamp, but I’m wary that they might eventually paywall remote audio streaming, too.

Thanks!

What’s your preferred client? I switched from plexamp to fintunes, but I really hate the app and the lack of functionality.

Hydrophobia is another term for an active Rabies infection. Rabies is assumed to be the source of many mythological creatures, including werewolves and vampires. So if you offer someone water, and they refuse, best to poke them with something silver and sharp just to see how they react.
- Comment on Wireless charging is the dumbest invention ever created 2 weeks ago:
When wireless charging was announced, every layperson out there started imagining their homes filled with powerful waves of harmless energy that would keep their devices charged and eliminate the need for all wires. People thought we could have LED bulbs that pull volts out of the air and provide light for your dining room.
Wireless charging is slightly more convenient than plugging your phone in to a usb c. But it’s also slower. I have a wireless charger next to a wired charger, and 90% of the time I plug in because it’s faster, and I can still use my phone while it charges.

What about muscle with a protective insulation coating? Like I can flex em and make em dance, but they’re definitely under a layer.

Looks neat. I’m a comic book fan, so I’ll probably pick it up eventually, if it ever goes on sale. Or not, if it sucks.

Oh yes, I’m with you on flannel shirts. I have one, and it’s warm and soft and my wife likes to cuddle me while I’m wearing it. But it’s relatively new. In my grunge era, I had some ratty, worn flannels that I threw away when I sold out.
Also, I have a lot of black tee shirts, but I wear other colors, too.

Ok, but when is it definitely a pec?

WTF is invisible lat syndrome, and why am I certain I have it?

I’m the guy in the shirtless photo, but the rest is not accurate.
Well ok I have a long beard, but it’s mot my personality.
- Comment on YouTube will let users booted for 'repeated violations' of COVID, elections policies 'rejoin' 3 weeks ago:
The better option is to simply stop using YouTube.
- Comment on Local TV Giants Boycott Jimmy Kimmel’s Return to Late Night 3 weeks ago:
I agree completely, and that’s my point. They think they are hurting Kimmel, but they are highlighting for everyone what piles of human shit they are. If I were a Sinclair customer, I’d be livid that they were making those decisions for me.
- Comment on Local TV Giants Boycott Jimmy Kimmel’s Return to Late Night 3 weeks ago:
Two possibilities here.
First, they have a lot of subscribers who want to watch Jimmy Kinmel (or who just care about free speech) and who will be more upset with oligarchical parasites than they will be with Kimmel.
Second, they don’t have a lot of subscribers who want to watch Jimmy Kinmel (or who just care about free speech) and who will be supportive of their oligarchical parasites, but weren’t going to tune in anyway.
Neither situation harms Kimmel even a little bit.
- Comment on Who the fuck needs an x axis anyway 3 weeks ago:
Because that’snot what the graph claims, and it is definitely not what the graph implies.
The graph says that there has been a 400% increase in the prevalence of autism. That’s not true, and is unsupported by the evidence. There has been a marked increase in the effective diagnosis and therapeutic interventions, but autism was largely undiagnosed and under-reported for almost all of human history. We’re still improving and refining the diagnostic criteria, and any changes in the number of cases should not be suggested to support any causal relationship with anything.

The organization run by a brain worm driving a human suit?
- Comment on Xbox consoles are getting a price bump. Again. 3 weeks ago:
Damn, I remember when consoles got less expensive over time, and when free speech was a thing.
- Comment on A Kentucky church is urging its members to remove books from the Shelby Public Library by checking them out and never returning them 3 weeks ago:
If you rely on religion for your morality, you can be convinced that anything is moral.
- Comment on Doot doot 4 weeks ago:
It would have to be 2. The blowhole is where the dolphin breathes out, and it has the muscles to adjust airflow for embouchure, but I don’t know if it can constrict and vibrate at the right frequencies to produce music.

This is kind of like when you check the fridge for snacks you already know aren’t in there because you just checked five minutes ago for the fifth time.

For what it’s worth, Vantablack isn’t a pigment, it’s a process for applying carbon nanotubes that absorb light. They don’t sell the “paint” part by itself because it requires special equipment and it finicky. They don’t sell it because then a bunch of social media influencers would try to spray their bathrooms with the stuff and make a bunch of videos about how it doesn’t live up to the hype.
The owner might be a douche who uses the licensing to make himself feel powerful, but there is a justifiable explanation for why the licensing exists in the first place.

Patriotism. Democracy. Representational Government. Freedom. Liberty. Take your pick.

The water wars will probably kill us off before we run out of oil.
- Comment on We are helping 5 weeks ago:
No, I’m sorry, the answe is “profit.” The US has a lot of natural gas, and the people who force it out of the ground bought enough politicians to build pipelines everywherr so we could sell gas to more people. Electric and heat pumps are far more efficient, but the cost per btu of heat is so cheap for natural gas that it doesn’t make sense to switch to electric even when the energy costs are low, and the cost to install a heatpump or geothermal might reduce monthly costs, but it would be decades before it pays for itself. Most people don’t expect to live in a house long enough to reap the benefits of more efficient investments.
