That can’t possibly be an actual electrician’s work, can it? That’s got to be the work of a homeowner who didn’t know the correct way to locate an outlet in the middle of a stud bay.

Windows 11 implemented DLSS 4?
- Comment on Why console makers can legally brick your game console 1 day ago:
Answer (without even needing to read the article): they can’t legally brick your console, but we live in an oligarchy that refuses to enforce the law against the powerful.

Depends whether you’re talking about Marxism or whatever the fuck the USSR etc. was doing, which was a very different thing.

In this case, we can tell it’s likely parallel because the springs (negative terminals) are on the same side. When the batteries are in series they’re usually placed in the compartment facing alternating directions.

If I like my coffee not only with ice but also sweetened, blended, and topped with whipped cream, does it wrap back around to straight?

STFU, ghost of Dallas executive producer Leonard Katzman!

If you’re still sharing a single account between multiple users in 2025, that’s kinda on you TBH.
- Comment on A compilation of mildly infuriating things about YouTube 6 days ago:
There’s no easy way to “mark video as watched” so that Youtube stops pushing it in your feed. (You can mark it “not interested” or “don’t recommend channel,” but those aren’t the same thing.) Even if you aren’t doing something Google would consider naughty like watching via FreeTube, NewPipe, or
yt-dlpsometimes, there are legitimate cases like watching while logged-out or having a friend show you a video on their device that cause you to have seen a video without that watch getting recorded into your watch history. - Comment on Are there any plot arcs, or missed opportunities from any TV series that were abandoned that you think should've been picked up or continued? 6 days ago:
Star Trek: Enterprise got canceled just when we were finally getting to the part folks wanted to see, about how the Federation got founded.
- Comment on Another CEO has been killed 1 week ago:
I’d like the news to keep coming.
So then you understand why the title is such a letdown: it misleads people to think it’s about a third CEO, but it’s not.
- Comment on Another CEO has been killed 1 week ago:
No, not “another!” The same one we’d already heard about months ago. Quit lying in the headline; you falsely made it seem like a third had just been killed recently and that just isn’t cool.
- Comment on Fucking google did it again, they "fixed" something that never broken. This time they make thumbnails way too big even with 70% zoom 1 week ago:
I really meant it to be an antimeme/literal sort of way, but was too lazy to remove the top and bottom frames.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Based on the post title I was expecting to say “no,” but that’s because I was also expecting “heliobiology” to be about sentient plasma eddies or something, not woo-woo magnetic bullshit somehow affecting humans.
No, seriously, even life inside stars is less implausible than the nonsense you’re asking about: sciencealert.com/physicists-argue-that-life-based…

I want them to synchronize my watch history so that each one doesn’t keep listing the videos I already watched in the other.

Then why are Americans so much worse at it, on average, than people in e.g. France or Japan. You can’t just say “hurt durr Americans are just irresponsible;” that’s a bullshit cop-out and you know it.
I’m trying to have a conversation about what it would take to actually solving the problem here; if you just want to feel morally superior you can go ahead and fuck off.
- Comment on doctors 2 weeks ago:
For the moment, anyway, it’s possible to eat good-ish if you educate yourself andfamiliarize yourself with your local area’s businesses.
Of course it’s “possible;” anything is “possible.” What matters is, why is it apparently harder to do in the US than in other places?
Something is different on the societal level that changes the average outcomes. Disregarding that because you’re bent on blaming individuals for perceived moral failings is missing the point.

So then the question becomes, why is processed food and other shit so pervasive in the average American diet? That’s what an environmental factor is.
- Comment on doctors 2 weeks ago:
…if there’s [a pool] available near them.
Speaking of institutional racism…
This validated a new normal across America: When legally required to share public pools with Black children, many white families decided they’d rather not go at all. Closing public pools to avoid racial integration became official policy for many cities across the U.S.

Everyone is fat
Exactly, which points squarely at an environmental cause, not at individual sloth/gluttony or some shit like that.
