- Comment on Improve your Wi-Fi with this one trick 4 weeks ago:
Yeah- you make good points. I think what I was upset about was that we started with a given (they obviously work in space) and then half the class argued they didn’t for a while.
A better question would have been “how can they work since space has no air in space?” which leads to great q & a I think.
- Comment on Improve your Wi-Fi with this one trick 4 weeks ago:
Yeah yeah, I know. I was mostly just kidding. Everything is magic if you’re ignorant and we shouldn’t shit on people for not knowing something and props to them for asking and seeking knowledge and all that.
But it’s really sad that very basic science like radio waves which are introduced in 5th or 6th grade could be some completely misunderstood.
I remember my 6th grade science class having a lively 15 minute discussion about whether or not rockets can work in space since there’s no air…. We’re looking at videos of rockets working in space and then debating whether or not they do. 🙄

That was my first computer! I wanted this game so bad back then, never had it. I’ll have to spin it up on my os-9’ed g4 Mac mini, hopefully it still runs in 9, most things I’ve tried do.

- Comment on Why is Gen Z so Poor? 2 months ago:
Guess you’ve never heard of inflation. Minimum wage in the 1950s would be something like $27 today- and that’s just simple annual inflation not accounting for buying power of the dollar. Factor that in and it’s more like $35. That’s a far fucking cry from $7.50. Plus, that guy in the 50s had only high school education, a stay at home wife, two kids, and a house.
Single family homes in my area start at $650k and go well over a million regularly. Town houses can be a 500k easy. Rent for a small apartment can be $1500+ a month plus utilities. People struggle on $70k salary here, which is about $35 an hour. Now imagine making under $10.
Another example, public school teachers start work making less than $60k. Imagine starting work with $50k-70k in student loans, some of them predatory private loans, spending nearly 50% of your post tax income on rent and then still having to pay for food, gas, car payment, insurance, and making those minimum loan payments basically forever. You’re pretty much financially crippled for life unless you marry someone that makes money or switch careers. That’s fucked up- someone that works as hard as our teachers, with their master’s level educations and endless night and weekend work should have to have 3 room mates for 20 years just trying to survive.
If the only thing we had was proper minimum wage adjustment and nothing else, society would be in a much better place. If we also had subsidized child care for working families, healthcare, non predatory education and insurance than imagine how much better off we’d all be.
But naw dawg, let’s just make some lazy Starbucks drinking kids get 4 fucking jobs to try and keep your old ass in social security.

I have one and my kids share it with me, but considering a second. They support profiles. My son plays it on the couch while my daughter watches her shows, and then they’ll put it on the tv and play Mario kart together.

A toy that makes a lot of sound- like a truck with siren noises or a little electric piano, or spaceship with explosion sounds. There are these great plastic dinos that roar when you play with them. As a parent, I’m telling you, their parents will thank you.

- Comment on (Religious) What would i be labeled? 3 months ago:
Atheism is the belief (ironically) that there is no divinity.
I don’t think that’s strictly true. The lack of belief in something isn’t a belief. By that logic, everyone would be a believer in the infinite things that don’t exist, which is silly.
Believing god is blue with 10 arms or an old white man, or a moon beam is a belief. Having no belief in any of those things isn’t an alternate belief system the same way an empty pie tin isn’t another form of pie.
Do some take the extra step and say something like “it’s impossible for there to be a god!”? Sure, but I think most atheists instead find 0 evidence of god, and therefore find it very unlikely.

Fallout 4 wasn’t bad, it was a lot of fun for a few playthroughs. You can make some valid arguments about steps backwards from new Vegas, but it did a lot of things well too.
- Comment on How to decide what kind of controller one should purchase? 4 months ago:
Ps5 controller is Bluetooth, works for me without any special drivers. Has native support in some games for the haptic triggers and touch pad. It’s a fantastic general purpose unit. The Nintendo switch classic NES controllers are awesome for retro emulation too- also Bluetooth. They make NES/SNES/N64 variants- but really the ps5 will handle all those use cases and feel just fine for any modern gaming.
