I’m reminded of the Family Guy where a bird lays eggs in Peter’s beard.
- Comment on Tesla is already pulling back Supercharger plans after firing team 2 weeks ago:
Who would take them? I mean, I guess you gotta get paid, but when someone demonstrated that they can just drop you with zero warning, trust is negative at that point.
- Comment on Maybe hot take: as a handheld, the regular switch is an awful handheld 2 weeks ago:
The OLED dock has an Ethernet port. They’ll work with non-OLED switches so you could buy one if you need the port.
The two USB’s on the side of the case seem sufficient for most use cases. Might be able to add a tiny usb hub if need be, there’s a few tiny ones fore less than $9.
Ergonomics are a bit odd, but the 3DS had similar issues as well. I ended up 3d printing ergonomics grips for my 3ds and I know they have something similar for the switch. I feel like they were towing a line between OTG usability and being able to hold the joycons in multiple orientations (think just dance, 1-2 switch, Mario party, 51 games, etc), or in different accessories (not sure how well an ergo one would work in a leg strap with the ring fit).
- Comment on EPA Says 'Forever Chemicals' Must Be Removed from Tap Water 5 weeks ago:
Considering how many municipal water supply groups there are, “billions” doesn’t seem like much. Especially when you realize how much the same municipal health systems will be positively impacted by actually having a clean reliable source of drinking water. This seems like a no brainer.
- Comment on Thoughts on the game Timberborn 1 month ago:
I’m cycle 23 right now and I’m basically just trying to conquer the entire map. I’ve got floodgates setup so droughts and bad water doesn’t make any impact (other than the droughts stopping my waterwheels). Working on making huge reservoirs and such.
It is more sandbox like past 15, but i still find the bad water and droughts to be a little challenge. I’ll be interested to see if the devs add another mechanic to challenge our settlements after that point.
- Comment on Reddit IPO Filings Reveal the Company’s Hopes—and Fears 1 month ago:
I think it’s important to say that while history and routine are part of it, social networks are only as useful as they are populated. If your friends and people you follow are all on Twitter, you’re not going to jump to Mastodon. If the content creators start switching, people will likely follow… but they won’t switch unless their followers switch.
I switched to Mastodon when Twitter went to X, and cold Turkey dropped to Lemmy from Reddit when the API scandal hit and the only thing I miss is most of the reason I was in those platforms in the first place, the content creators.

- Comment on Ubisoft Wants You To Be Comfortable Not Owning Your Games 3 months ago:
For this to work it would have to be like, hourly or minutely billing. This takes care of the multiple games issue as you’ll likely never play more than one at a time and don’t pay for the time you don’t play it that month. You can try a game for a few days or a week and stop playing and also stop paying. You can try some indie games because you’d only be spending $0.05/hr or something.
Or you just have to include a whole library of games like Game Pass or access to all of Steam or something which would allow you to hop games yet not own them.
I’d still want to be able buy games I intend on playing for years (like Skyrim or Civ or City Skylines). So maybe a “rent to own” scheme would be cool.
- Comment on I have to pay extra to remove ads from Prime Video 4 months ago:
Can confirm, of the 6 people I know with prime, only one actually cares about the video. They all got it for shipping and easily buy enough that the free shipping paid for it, so I don’t fault them at all. Heck, I‘ve had to inform a few of them that they even get video and other services at all.

I like how the loans don’t have interest, but the savings bank does. I’d be down with that system.

You like it? I’ve been tempted to pick it up.
- Comment on Unity CEO John Riccitiello Steps Down After Pricing Blowup 7 months ago:
Honestly, does anyone really know about the CEO? I feel like she’s got a free ride. No one is going to say she tanked Twitter when Elon publicly announces everything stupid thing he wants done and says he picked it and he’s the brains behind it. If Twitter fails, it’s because Elon is a self absorbed moron, not because the CEO made a mistake. Which is kinda “doing it wrong” from the “we’ll hire some lady as CEO and blame her for the drop in revenue and engagement and then fire her for some cheap good will” idea that boards tend to go with.
Honestly I feel like if the CEO of Twitter made a mistake, it’d be an improvement over Elon’s changes.
- Comment on New cars are great... 7 months ago:
I once had a car salesman try to talk me out of ABS because the one on the lot didn’t have it. He literally told me “ABS? You only need that in an emergency!”
I replied with “I only need headlights at night and seatbelts in an accident but I want those, too.”
I can totally see them charging extra monthly charges or even a charge every time you activate the ABS.

Also, rabies is no joke. Hope you get your shots soon!
