- Comment on Is £70 becoming harder to justify? The rise of cheaper blockbuster games 1 week ago:
Only game I’m immediately paying full price for is HL3. Everything else gets added to a Steam wishlist, where it sits until the price drops enough. For example, the oldest game addition on my wishlist was added in July 2012.
I don’t buy anything that costs more than $5. Spending more than $10 is exceedingly rare. If that game never drops that far, so be it. I’ve got plenty of other games to play or revisit in the meantime.

- Comment on Yes, thank you. That is the furniture I was looking for. 2 weeks ago:
I don’t, either, but it’s in the screenshot for the guillotine entry in the screenshot. Trying to be funny. Although it is kinda because I love death metal and that does plausibly sound like a band name in that genre.
- Comment on I wish I could do executive orders 🤔 2 weeks ago:
I keep telling my InfoSec department if no one can sign into their computer, it’s the most secured environment they’ll ever have, but for some reason they don’t think it is as funny as I do.

I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit.
It’s the only way to be sure.

I don’t disagree that the taxi industry needed a good shaking, and Uber/Lyft have brought a lot of convenience and features to the party compared to a traditional taxi service, but that doesn’t automatically make Uber the good guys in the equation.

It is funny how 40 in the fall sees most folks bundling up with everything they have, and 40 the spring is shorts and sandals weather.
I don’t stop wearing shorts until it’s about 0F out or the wind is insane. Not to like shovel the driveway or anything being out for extended periods, but going out shopping or whatever is fine. Today was 0 with a -20 windchill and I went out in shorts, a sweatshirt, and a baseball cap.
- Comment on How does one fight the atomization of society, as Marx foretold years ago? 5 weeks ago:
Silly OP, we’re all groups of atoms already!
- Comment on Why do I push people away if I'm so lonely? 5 weeks ago:
I would recommend starting by joining a group around a topic you’re interested in. Local climbing club or anime group or sports enthusiasts or gaming clan or whatever. Something in person. Use that group to practice social skills and learn body cues with topics you’re already familiar and confident with, and that in turn will help you branch out to other topics when you’re ready with the same level of communication.
It is a learned skill, and it takes time, but if you never take the time to learn it, then it will always feel foreign to you. Does that make sense? Like so many things in life, you have to get past the fear to get to the reward. That can be difficult, and you might get hurt when you put yourself out there, but I believe if you keep with it, and you’re determined to make a change, you can absolutely overcome anything and find a social group that complements you.
Good luck, friend. You can do it. We believe in you.

- Comment on How do I deliver an American eBay package to my hotel? 1 month ago:
That’s the idea. But definitely check with the hotel if they will accept and how long they’ll hold it for. Some hotels only accept guest packages for a few days before their check-in; they’re usually not going to want to hold it for a week or two. Maybe something you can work on with the seller to time the shipment appropriately?

- Comment on Do Costcos usually have an ATM machine? 2 months ago:
I’m reasonably certain there is one in the food court area, but I’ve never used it. Costco takes Visa and Mastercard, so I’ve never had a reason to.

Crypto is just a modern-day pyramid scheme.
Some may get rich and serve as examples of why others should join, some may break even, but the vast majority of those participating will lose.
In the end, the only winning move is not to play.
