- Comment on Steam Beta improves download speed of Steam Client updates on Linux / Steam Deck and other fixes 1 week ago:
I wonder if there’s any improvement to local transfer / game copy. I’ve got a 2.5gbps network between two machines but it’ll only transfer at maybe 30 MB/sec. It’s faster for me to download from the internet. I don’t have the same problem with Steam on Windows (both sides have to be Windows)
- Comment on dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US? 3 weeks ago:
You’re not going to get an answer that’s interesting or helpful out of them even if you go to where they live and ask and don’t get immediately flamed for asking.
There’s no acceptable answer for it. I have plenty of conservative friends and I could make sense of voting for Trump the first time. Not for me, FUCK that, but not all Trump v1 supporters were racists and there were valid conservative reasons to vote for him. He was definitely an unknown, nobody could have told you with certainty how he would act once in office. I could have told you what I expected and it was about as horrible as I expected, but people often see things in politicians that they want to see, rather than seeing what’s really there.
But any of the “OK to vote for Trump v1” falls apart completely for Trump v2. We saw what his first term was like and especially how it ended. His campaign in 2024 was even more unhinged and less grounded in reality than in 2016. Voting for him in 2024 is really inexcusable.
The US will be unimaginably worse off by the time Trump leaves office this time, tariffs and tax cuts for the rich and inflation, it’s going to be bad for Americans on an individual level. On a global level, Trump will have shredded alliances and any goodwill we had built up over the past decades, while also validating and confirming the world’s worst concerns about us.
And when Trump does finally leave office, the people you want to hear from will largely feel like it was a phenomenal presidency. It is a cult and logic and reason don’t have anything to do with it.

If you go, definitely stay at Four Seasons Total Landscaping next door, best accommodations around and their convention spaces are great for any press conferences you might need to hastily put together.

I used to think they were bots. I still do, but I used to, too.
- Comment on Zelda-Inspired Plucky Squire Shows What Happens When A Game Doesn't Trust Its Players 6 months ago:
I like the game, but agree with the over-tutorialed complaints. They have two difficulty modes, I wish only story mode got all the handholding. I think there’s enough obvious indicators to get you through all the game mechanics.

- Comment on Star dates – is one day equal to 0,07 SD in TNG? 10 months ago:
Yeah, some shows did have their own consistent-ish systems, but I think some shows used a system that seemed to be relative to the center of the solar system, others from the perspective of the ship (which makes more sense to me, like naval bearings) - memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Heading.
It was a quick lookup from a long time ago, I was working on a 3d space game and was curious if ST had a consistent model I could just use.
- Comment on Star dates – is one day equal to 0,07 SD in TNG? 10 months ago:
The headings / bearings they use are all over the place too, remember looking it up and it feels like the writers just picked whatever numbers best fit the flow / cadence of dialog they were looking for

Went to one of the sanctuaries around Hobart, their odor is pretty rough. I saw it described as smelling like a smelly wet dog, and it’s definitely like that, but combined with like a “skunk, but one that evolved on the other side of the planet” smell.
- Comment on Mini PC with Intel N100 and 6 x 2 5 GbE LAN ports 11 months ago:
Yeah, meant the website title, but in truth it’s tough to tell what’s astroturfing bots vs people here. And honestly these things with 6 2.5GbE ports is plenty impressive, not sure why the website felt the need to goose it like they did.

2.5 GbE NOT 25. That’s the funkiest clickbait bullshit I’ve seen in a while.

TIL - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bath_salts_(drug).
I just assumed there was some dose of bath salts you could take that would get you high (and hungry for faces) but not kill you, like don’t people use tractor starter fluid to roofie people…
But happy I now know
- Comment on Delicious. 1 year ago:
I can’t see bath salts now without immediately thinking about the Florida man eats faces while high on bath salts story. Now I’m imagining tiny children eating faces while high on bath salts. Thanks a lot, internet.
- Comment on Does a cloned drive have the same drive letter as the original? 1 year ago:
It depends how they clone it. I’m assuming now your 250gb drive is c, 1tb drive is d. After the cloning if you want the 1tb to be c and 2TB to be d, just tell them what you want and they should be able to make that happen.
For a bit more technical info, you also have a small EFI partition (unless this pc is very old), probably on your 250gb drive. This partition is what your computer boots from initially. When windows is installed it writes information to that partition, both initial boot binaries but also information about where your windows partition is. When they clone the 250gb drive they’ll also clone that partition, and depending on the method they use to clone, that pointer from efi will either not need to be modified, or they’ll fix it with tools called bcdboot and bcdedit. Bcedit has some read-only commands but I wouldn’t suggest messing with either, just mentioning them if you’re curious to read about them and understand the process a bit more
