- Comment on Dakota Johnson Says ‘Madame Web’ “Wasn’t My Fault” & Blames Flop On Decisions Made By People “Who Don’t Have A Creative Bone In Their Body” 6 hours ago:
Sure but an actor can choose not to do a movie when the script is terrible. Doing a movie and then blaming other people isn’t cool. You win together, you lose together. If the movie was a big hit, you can bet she would be taking credit.
It was obvious from start to end she didn’t know shit about what she was involved in. Probably thought the script sucked hard, but figured all super hero movie scripts are like that (which isn’t far off). She saw the money those kinds of movies are making and wanted in. She did the bare minimum and gave zero effort. Then when it flops she goes and blames other people, not a good look at all.

- Comment on Xbox 360/PS3/(to a lesser extent) Wii owners represent 1 week ago:
Are you referring to the red ring of death on the Xbox? Because that has absolutely nothing to do with ATI. They just made the chips, it’s Microsoft that put them on the board. Most of the issues were caused by a poor connection between the chip and the board, not a hell of a lot ATI could do about that.
A lot of it was engineers underestimating the effect of thermals between 80 and 95 degrees for very long times, with cool down cycles in between. The thinking was this was just fine and wouldn’t be an issue. It turned out it was an issue, so they learnt from that and later generations didn’t really have that issue.

Oooh you are talking about motorbikes. In my mind a bike is the manual peddle bicycle kind and I was wondering what kind of bicycle has a solenoid.
- Comment on Tech disabled and locked NTP to profit if RTC is wrong 1 week ago:
I agree, but with a security device this is probably not the best idea. Any kinds of tampering physically would most likely trigger the alarm, sometimes in a way that can only be fixed by calling a tech. Software tampering if you do get it connected would probably have the same result.
We’ve had this at work once, they were doing some remodeling and somebody accidentally hit a sensor with a large machine. The sensor was destroyed and the alarm went off (even though it wasn’t even “on” at the time, as it was in the middle of a day). No codes on the panel could turn off the alarm, not even our super duper override code. We called support, they gave us a temporary override code and even that one didn’t work. They said with physical tampering a tech must come by on location to tell the system all is OK. We had to work for 4 hours that day with the most annoying alarm sounds in the background. The worker that hit the sensor was very embarrassed about it.
- Comment on Sesame St is great 1 week ago:
In regional versions of Sesame Street Big Bird has an actual name (although usually it isn’t the exact same character, but another kind of large bird). I think mostly because in those languages it wouldn’t be an alliteration. But I like to think it’s just because Americans are rude and never bothered to learn their name, calling them Big Bird because of how they look.
- Comment on Anon isn't fooled by planes 2 weeks ago:
Well I must admit, when the plane is resting on the ground, the wings droop down a lot. Then when airborne it’s the other way around, the wings curve upwards as the fuselage hangs from them. In my mind nothing that big made of metal should be able to flex that much.
But since I’m not a conspiracy theorist, I have learned about material science, airplane design and engineering. And I have found out that it does indeed flex that much. It also isn’t that thick, since it’s only a skeleton wrapped with a very thin layer of metal. In fact if it didn’t flex as much, it would be weaker and not stronger.
So the thing I really learnt is never to trust intuition when it comes to things like this.

The whole concept of multilingual websites is foreign to Americans. There is only one language in their mind.

Thanks, I’ll look out for that. Seems like the plain whiskey is available just fine, but the honey stuff is harder to find.

Wow I’m going to Aldi tomorrow and will try this!
- Comment on Prices are out of control 4 weeks ago:
Yeah I’m having trouble finding the Honey flavored stuff.
I use fake Red Bull because I think it’s overpriced, not because it’s not American.
- Comment on Prices are out of control 4 weeks ago:
That Tennessee Honey is one of my favorite whiskey drinks. However due to America being a total shit head, I can no longer buy it as I don’t want any of my money going there.
Anybody got an idea of what a good European drink is to replace it with? I drink it straight or when I want something more mellow I mix with fake DrPepper or fake Red Bull.

You would pay to watch a man get ripped apart? No thanks, I’d rather not have that image on my mind for the rest of my life.
Even something smaller like a chimp can bite straight through a human and has enough strength to rip an arm straight off.

- Comment on Trump, in blue, sleeping at Pope Francis' finera;l 5 weeks ago:
When my grandpa used to visit every Tuesday, he would join us for dinner, then some coffee after dinner. We would sit on the couch and chat a bit and at some point grandpa would fall asleep. The rest of us just went about our evening, watching some TV, playing a game, just chatting or whatever. After an hour or so, he would wake up, slap his knee, tell us it was a great evening and head home.
It was actually kind of sweet how that old man would fall asleep. That’s why you don’t fucking elect grandpa to run the country.

- Comment on Random Screenshots of my Games #59 - Far Cry 5 1 month ago:
Far Cry 5 is by far my favorite of the franchise. Interesting world, good gameplay, fun mechanics. It doesn’t take itself very seriously, but still has a more serious story. Everything meshes really well and it’s a ton of fun in coop.
Far Cry 6 was a huge letdown, I hated it. Lots of re-used assets, dumb game mechanics, story very predictable and not interesting. When it released performance was terrible with lots of crashes and bugs. And not the fun kind of jank like in most FC games, the this is annoying my mission is softlocked kind of bugs. Plus it felt like 3 games in 1 which didn’t really have anything to do with each other. Later I found it this was because multiple teams worked on the different parts which didn’t really communicate as much due to covid.

- Comment on Am I going crazy, or has people's spelling gotten awful lately? 1 month ago:
Yeah it’s so dumb, like we have amazing technology, yet the software is fucking terrible.
For example with most keyboard you can have a heat map of where you hit each button. So you can clearly see where the buttons should most comfortable be. However I’ve never seen any keyboard that could ever make use of that data to morph the shape of the buttons to my patterns. It seems so obvious, otherwise why collect that data?
Instead we keep making the same shitty keyboard over and over again. And big companies monitor all our keypresses because number must go up. And put dumb ass AI powered autocorrect that are trained on all data ever instead of my personal data. I swear that thing “corrects” the right word into the wrong word more often than the other way around.
Somehow touchscreens and keyboard have also gotten worse. I remember my old IPhone 4 I could type so fast without errors. And that screen was fucking tiny. Maybe I’m just too old but modern phones make my hands hurt and I still have errors all the damn time.
