- Comment on [Serious] Do you know of any processed snack foods with some vitamins? 2 weeks ago:
Some crackers have whole grain versions that taste as good or better than their white flour versions. Goldfish and Cheez-its are the two that come to mind. This doesn’t make them “healthy”, but at least there’s some better fiber in there. Compare nutrition labels.
Also try veggie chips/sticks. Again, they’re not “healthy”, but… there’s some better stuff in them than normal junk food. They are junk food with a small amount of bonus nutrition.
Freeze-dried fruit is addicting, but expensive. Try it and/or dehydrated fruit. The latter is chewy while freeze-dried is crunchy and melts in your mouth.
You can also try making your own nuggets or tenders with whole-grain panko breadcrumbs, and seasoning. The trick is to make it better than McDonald’s, which is easy for an adult, but tricky for kids. I don’t know the magic sauce though.
One of the latest Splendid Table podcasts had a guest on to talk about cooking healthy for kids (or she just wrote a book about it, I didn’t listen yet.) It’s a great show. Check that out.

- Comment on What are y'all buying on the steam sale? 1 month ago:
I just chip away at my list every time there’s a sale. This time I got God of War, Spiderman, Jedi Survivor, and Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen.
DD was an impulse buy since I don’t know anything about it, but the reviews were good. It was $4.79 and I see there’s a sequel coming later this month, so that’s probably a good deal.
But I’ll probably still be “ahh, suffering…” through Elden Ring when the summer sale rolls around…

- Comment on Youtube ads finally got me 7 months ago:
This is my problem with YouTube’s ads. If it was a 5-15 second video ad at the beginning/between videos, plus a banner ad or ads on the side/page, that could be sufferable. But constantly interrupting videos at random points for long ass ads does not mesh well with a short-video platform.
And I also enjoy reminding people whenever I get the chance that the FBI recommends using an adblocker for security/safety reasons: www.ic3.gov/Media/Y2022/PSA221221

- Comment on People who back into parking spots: Why? 9 months ago:
Hondas have 3 views, at least on my 2020 Civic and wife’s 2023 HRV.
“Wide” is for checking for vehicles, pedestrians, etc. when your view is obstructed on the sides (it’s probably more like 178, but I can see about 200 ft down the sidewalk in both directions when backing out of my driveway, including beyond my neighbor’s overgrown bushes.) The picture is skewed on the sides though.
“Regular” is undistorted for maneuvering and seeing directly behind you. This is like the default mode you’d expect to see.
“Top-down” shows about 3-4 ft of the pavement below/behind the car for backing up close to walls, parking barriers, other parked cars, etc.
You change them with touchscreen buttons. All of them have guidelines and distance markers that move with the steering wheel.
- Comment on People who back into parking spots: Why? 9 months ago:
My current car is my first car that has a backup camera, and I actually find it much easier to see backing out of a space with the camera’s wide field of view.
Driving forward, especially in a sensible normal-sized sedan, your view can easily be blocked by someone’s giant Suburban on your left and Billybob’s overcompensating pickup truck on your right, both of which always come with shit parking jobs. Your best chance is to very slowly inch forward and hope any oncoming drivers notice the front of your car moving into the lane before your windows clear the taller vehicles.
But the backup camera sees 180 degrees from the bumper, so you can always see traffic in both directions well before any part of your car might get in anyone’s way.

- Comment on Square Enix share price drops amid claims Final Fantasy 16 didn’t meet ‘high end’ expectations 9 months ago:
I’m excited to buy it when it comes to PC, but my single-player rpg backlog is long already. I’ll probably end up waiting for a sale, which shouldn’t take too long if articles like this keep coming.
This will be my first single player FF since 10. I love XIV, so it seems to me that the hype of using the XIV team on this game wouldn’t add a huge amount of value to a PS5 exclusive release when the majority of XIV players are on PC, and others are still on PS4. It’s not like PC enjoyers and PS4-content players are going to go buy a PS5 just to play it early. They’re waiting for the port, then they’re waiting longer still for the port to be fixed.
- Comment on MMO mouse recommendations? 9 months ago:
I’ve been very happy with my Corsair Scimitar Elite. It’s not wireless though, but I use a Razer V3 bungee to keep the cable convenient. I tried Logitech’s cheaper MMO mouse first and it felt cramped, chinsey, and the side buttons felt sharp and jagged. The Scimitar solved all those problems for me. Before that, I used a Logitech G604, which I loved, but the switches failed just after the warranty expired - not an uncommon problem for those Omron switches. Hopefully I have better luck with the Scimitar’s. So far so good.
I’m a windows-using rube, and I know Corsair’s iCue won’t run on Linux because it requires .net, but if you have dual boot or a VM or access to a windows PC, then you can edit profiles in Windows and save them to the mouse hardware. The only thing you’ll miss is auto-changing profiles when you open an application, so be sure to bind a mouse key to switch profiles, and assign RGB that lets you know which profile you’re in. I assume this method would apply to any mouse with hardware profiles.
I prefer wireless mice too, so I also use a M65 Ultra for FPS games. I find myself using the MMO mouse for desktop though, because having page up/down and home/end on the mouse is great.
Here’s the thing about Bluetooth: it’s usually slightly laggy and will often take inconsistent time to connect. It’s generally not great for gaming because of the lag especially. That’s why gaming mice have a usb dongle that uses faster sample rate (Corsair has Slipstream, Logitech has Lightspeed, etc.) I’ve used both of those and they always wake up in <1s. When I switch to a simple Bluetooth mouse for my work laptop, I definitely feel the lag. If you’re short on usb ports, you should have no problems using a wireless mouse dongle on a hub.

Luckily we offer a guillotine protection insurance policy for an affordable $85,000,000 per year. It’s optional, but the upfront cost could be $650,000,000,000 if you get caught in a guillotine without it. Just be sure to get dragged to one of our in-network guillotines.
