This story lives in my head forever as a perfect example of everything pointing to a theoretical answer but reality not caring.
- Comment on what happens when you cut something? 5 days ago:
The term for the material removed to make a cut is kerf. You hear about it a lot with woodworking as not taking into account can lead to inaccuracies in the final dimensions of your materials.
I would think separating a material by passing another through it is cutting while separating materials with only force would be breaking if it happens along a length or tearing of it happens gradually from a single point.

Hey mate, I think someone swapped your space and return keys.

Well hell yeah, I just had instance to check and it does indeed offer the option!

I don’t want to naysay you, but I have yet to see that in practice. Is that fairly recently added or in an upcoming release that isn’t on F-Droid yet? I’d love to know more!
- Comment on Whats a good and proper alternative google message thats clean but better with privacy? - for texting 1 week ago:
I’ve been using the Fossify messenger for a while it is is largely fine. It does not offer proper reaction support, showing “🤣 to ‘MESSAGE’” or some such, and it doesn’t offer to copy authentication codes from a notification. Other than that, it works well.
- Comment on Is there an optimal home/apartment size that most people would be happy with? 3 weeks ago:
It’s been my experience that the areas most often referred to as “bad parts of town” are the areas with the most people squeezed in without consideration for anything else. Small homes can be fine of there are other outlets in the area such as community centers, parks, libraries, stores, etc. Without those you just concentrate too much human suffering in one area.
- Comment on This is the type of Q&A that makes the internet so important 3 weeks ago:
Every towel I have ever used has a tag on it, that’s the crotch end, dry your face with the other end.
- Comment on Wearing a helmet and a hat while biking 3 weeks ago:
Here’s what you do: get a bike rack and bungee core a milk crate to it. Bonus points for a milk crate that looks well worn and like it lived an entire lifetime before it took up residence on your bike. The look is timeless, a classic of style, unquestionable. From there you can store anything you want, hat included.
Or don’t. You wouldn’t ask a stranger on the street for their opinion, so why care what they think?
- Comment on People who don't wear earphones outside - why, and what do you do instead? 5 weeks ago:
My ability to zone out and get lost in my head is legendary.
Although, I have used headphones for grocery shopping during busy times because music helps keep me from becoming enraged at stupid people.
- Comment on Does anyone know what's inside this building? 5 weeks ago:
Apple. There’s no windows.

Every Minecraft update just makes me hum “Where’s the modding API” again.

- Comment on Are there communities online where artists share their art for free / donation? 1 month ago:
I find Blue Sky gained a lot of the artists that left Twitter. Many post freely, post commissioned works, or have a donation or subscription based platform to share work on. Discovery is ass, but many repost or comment on other artists so you can find a lot of similarly interesting creators that way.
- Comment on Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately? 2 months ago:
This is the key. You are not required to engage with the rage. Block people, block communities, block instances! Curate your mood and don’t give space in it to things that will poison it.
- Comment on I will burn this fucker to the ground... internally 2 months ago:
My favorite was when an update would change, hide, or remove a feature I had never heard of that was absolutely critical to one person’s workflow for an essential task that affected everyone, like payroll.
- Comment on Okay now what if I show you this image and tell you it's an actual conversation between me and my brother? 2 months ago:
That sounds more like the intended use of a hot tub.
- Comment on Voices of the Void 2 months ago:
I’ve been watching videos of this game for a bit and it is one of the better designed spooky games I’ve seen. The constant, random happenings keep it interesting; the simple loop of capturing signals and sending them of keeps things moving.
I tried watching some big youtubers play it, but found that I enjoyed this guy with like 300 subscribers more. Sindrick on YouTube.
- Comment on Is it possible to “make” someone have seizures? 3 months ago:
My knowledge is limited, but I recall hearing that more seizures are caused by smells than flashing lights. Based off that single fact, perhaps the thing that was triggering you isn’t present anymore. Be that person, perfume, or otherwise.

Fun fact: there are only 14 calendar variations in the Gregorian calendar system. Stand-up Maths by Matt Parker
So, Big Calendar has literally been selling you the same 14 things year after year.

No, but social media is happy to use him.

I imagine this in the style of the narrator at the beginning of a Twilight Zone episode.

Can you learn truths from fiction? Can you feel sad at a happy memory? Can you long for a person who wronged you? Can a good point he made by a bad person? Why does the source matter?
- Comment on tag yourself 4 months ago:
Oh, no, corporate just realized that could get four times as much viewership of their ads if they replace a human with four robots. Sure, it may be more costly overall, but their advertisement partners have seen significant increases in analytics and they really like that.

- Comment on VMware perpetual license holder receives audit letter from Broadcom 5 months ago:
When they announced the change to licensing from annoying to awful, the company I was with at the time immediately started looking for alternatives. I imagine that the announcement will be spoken about as the downfall of the company in future video essays.
- Comment on It is what it is 5 months ago:
Of course they will! First you make a copy, then you delete the copy. Contractual terms satisfied.
- Comment on Instead of asking all my stupid questions separately, could I just get a ton of "How to Adult" type resources in the comments? 6 months ago:
I’m going to one-up you here and suggest learning to learn. Some people can learn through long form video, some through reading, and some need to take notes and review them later.
For example, I hate all the extra fluff that goes into a written work and frequently need to delete sections until only the minimum information is there. Like deleting the first several paragraphs before a recipe actually gives you the ingredients and instructions!
- Comment on Why is having a lawyer present during police interviews "opt in" rather than "opt out"? 6 months ago:
I am not a lawyer. (IANAL)
You have a lot of legal right you may or may not choose to exercise. For example, if you have the right to own firearms they don’t issue you a firearm just because you haven’t purchased one yet.
If I recall it right, there wasn’t always the concept of a public defender who could represent someone even if they couldn’t afford a lawyer. You had to already have a lawyer in order to even use that right. This was eventually changed and resulted in the creation of public defenders.
From what I have heard, public defenders are really overworked and spread thin, so you may want to have a lawyer setup to represent you if you ever get into trouble with the law. I have also heard it’s good to know several lawyers as the one who can help you draft a will is different than the one to help you purchase real estate and the one to keep you out of jail.
