- Comment on Why don’t more people start profit-sharing companies or co-ops? 1 week ago:
If I share profits, then how do I, a lowly CEO, keep all of the profits for myself?
- Comment on Germ Blaster 2 weeks ago:
But then how do I make money?
- Comment on Vegan drink Oatly can’t call itself ‘milk’, judges rule 2 weeks ago:
Yeah there are idiots, but what’s the harm? They may be shocked to find there’s 0 dairy, but his does that impact them? The nutrition info is on the label, as is the ingredients.
- Comment on SHAME. 2 weeks ago:
It was the bloodiest battle that the world ever saw
With civilians looking on in total awe
The fight raged on for a century
Many lives were claimed but eventually
The champion stood, the rest saw their better
Mr. Rogers in a blood-stained sweater
- Comment on flouride 4 weeks ago:
Its a common component of all cancer cells, and trace amounts have been found in the blood of dead lab rats.
- Comment on Serious statement: I don't understand the argument that not voting for Harris was the morally correct thing to do, because of Gaza. Why does anyone believe this? 1 month ago:
Some people really don’t grasp the concept of the trolley problem.
A train is headed towards 5 people, you can pull a lever and switch tracks to kill 1 person. What do you do?

Naïve/entitled people fail to grasp the concept of compromise.
- Comment on Honey 2 months ago:
The harm side comes in multiple forms:
Harm to the animals; by removing their nutrient dense food source, and feeding them sugar water in its place, impacting colony health
Harm to the ecosystem; by mass producing honey bees we are choking out other pollinators, and the selective breeding for honey bees prioritizes output and makes colonies more susceptible to disease and collapse.
Even if you feel like the bees we’re farming lead a good life, that life comes at a cost of other species - we are choosing a winner in the food web in a way that could be done less harmful for similar end result (i.e., plant sugars / syrups). Much of veganism is about harm reduction.
Knowing the importance of pollinators to our food supply, as a vegan I would probably not have much of an issue with pollinator farming if there goal was maintaining biodiversity, instead of min-maxing profit.
- Comment on Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 sucks up to 180 Mb/s of internet bandwidth while in flight — equivalent to 81GB of data per hour 2 months ago:
I love where I live, but my biggest miss on moving was leaving my fiber network behind and moving to Cox monopoly territory.

Because my ISP charges $50/mo extra for the “privilege” of having unlimited data.
- Comment on Ubisoft's Board is Launching an Investigation Into The Company Struggles 2 months ago:
They’ll fire the developers that implemented the unpopular features (that they didn’t want to build in the first place but were forced upon them from executives, who, by the way, are due for their end of year bonuses!!)
- Comment on California’s new law forces digital stores to admit you’re just licensing content, not buying it 2 months ago:
Shopping cart icon, and “checkout”
- Comment on How come LED Light Bulbs only last for about 2-3 Years? 2 months ago:
Just Google “how to increase my fire risk to save $2 on a new LED”. Should be a how to guide or two out there.
- Comment on Seriously, what the f*** is keeping Donald Trump in this presidential race? 3 months ago:
Lowered the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% (lowest in history).
Obvious tax cuts for the rich.
That’s all his financiers hear.
Constantly attacks marginalized groups.
That’s all his voters hear.
Everything else goes in one ear and out the other, muddied up with enough “whataboutism” and “both sides” rhetoric from the financiers to keep the voters form actually considering alternative options.
- Comment on RuneScape is increasing their membership price by 50%, and Reddit is trying to censor it 3 months ago:
But $12 to $14 is <20%…
- Comment on Anon gets laid off 4 months ago:
Even still, my EV could run the electric dryer for 12h straight on the highest settings. Washer is a rounding error in that estimate. It takes a lot to use up am EV battery.
- Comment on I ordered my daughter a pizza, something I don't usually do. I got Domino's smallest size with two toppings. I got her cheese sticks and two sauces and tipped the driver 20%. $31.07. 5 months ago:
My God if I have to listen to my mother in law brag about how good of a “deal” her $10 (made up “retail”, $26) Tommy Bahama hand towels from TJ Max were one more time…
- Comment on Are business cards still a thing? 6 months ago:
Because he paid $10k for a booth to talk about bird safe window tinting, and can actually answer questions about bird safe window tinting. Dude wants to go through all that work into maybe fooling me into giving up my work login credentials, more power to him.
- Comment on What would happen to your body if you only ate 750g of 2% cottage cheese every day for a month? 6 months ago:
Lentils, rice, and beans together can form a very inexpensive but nutrient rich base for a lot of meals.
- Comment on Glorious Victory 7 months ago:
The refunds may have hurt, but what hurt more was the fact that in the last week HD2 went from #1/2 on the Steam global top sellers to #11. The big red “Overwhelmingly Negative” next to a title is a huge turnoff to new buyers.
Some executive somewhere has a chart showing daily sales numbers and watched them fall off a cliff in the last week.

Jargon is the little-death
Somewhere in France someone is getting really excited about learning jargon.

Something something pot kettle.
- Comment on Thanks AT&T! 8 months ago:
Or even better, my experience with them - they can permanently mark you as poor when the person who stole your identity in the last data beach (Thanks Experian!) doesn’t make their monthly payment, thus tanking your credit while you’re entering escrow on your first home.
Thanks AT&T, now my stolen information I never even gave you is probably back on the black market! The cycle continues.
- Comment on I bought frozen BBQ eel and the best before date says LJ349. What does this mean? 8 months ago:
I mean, it’s frozen, so the best before date is pretty loose at best anyways

Wanted: Dead gets a rework
There you go. No need to click

I too choose this man’s duck.
- Comment on Looking for a thermometer or home weather center with indoor and outdoor temp sensors, and that can record and export the data, does anyone know of such a device? 1 year ago:
Just get 2 of these:
Can pair with your phone over Bluetooth, or if you’re feeling adventurous, you can spend the rest of your budget on a Raspberry Pi and install Home Assistant on it - it’ll pick these things up automatically, and you can start on your quest of understanding your home with one of the best tools out there.
Snag a 4-pack of AAA Eneloops & a charger, and you won’t have to worry about disposing of batteries for all of your new sensors.
You can also swap one of their outdoor ones with an indoor one with a screen so you can view at a glance - just look for one that takes AAA batteries.
- Comment on Nowadays, on certain games and game launchers, you can play the game before its fully downloaded. How is possible? 1 year ago:
I don’t think this is true, because you can max out your character, uninstall the game, reinstall it, and still start early. Plus, the MMO-esq nature of D4, you could easily join a party with someone who is L10, doing L10+ content. It’s more about preloading things at low resolution, then improving as new resources download
- Comment on Nowadays, on certain games and game launchers, you can play the game before its fully downloaded. How is possible? 1 year ago:
Diablo also leans heavily into cinematic cut scenes which can be streamed (at lower resolution) if you encounter those before they finish downloading
And low resolution textures / compressed audio can be downloaded first while you wait for the higher resolution content
