- Comment on Good to exercise at home instead of gym? 11 hours ago:
For me, the hardest at-home part is the motivation. It’s so easy to “skip”. Finding things like pre-plans or games like Zwift on a bike trainer help, because it sets my schedule.
I also found it handy to pick an audio book, podcast, or show I liked, and only do that while working out.
- Comment on No more Bosch for me.. 11 hours ago:
Yup, all his top video comments said this shortly after video release. Personally, I always check for this stuff pre-purchase, but if I ran into it now, I would return unless I specifically bought it to self-host and block internet, which you can do with Bosch, but I wouldn’t, because for a dishwasher that’s dumb.
- Comment on Why do we even do mens vs womens sizes for clothes? 11 hours ago:
You must be man. 😀
Me too, but I also sew, so: Different types of clothing fit women differently based on size. And I don’t mean body shape fit just being slightly different. A “small shirt” can have a million different lengths which could reveal midriff based on bust or Shoulder size. This is impacted by curves but is a total dofferent measurement.
And wait until you realize that people are sized different in different countries other than America.
The best solution would be to remove sizes altogether and create a standardized measurements sheet that is required to be included on clothing sites or tags. Or at least an international standard. It’s done in engineering, why not in textiles?

It’s because Mark Robert said he was still buying a new one after driving his through a wall.

The real question: Is that Pilot G7 a 0.10 or a 0.7? Very different pens. 0.7 ftw

Assurance != ReAssurance
- Comment on What is wrong with me? 1 week ago:
Just look at the compression in 3D (resistance to existing motion) instead of just in up/down 2D space and your analogy still works, even in space.

Yes, that is what it actually means.
- Comment on Thinkpad for the win 2 weeks ago:
As others have eluded to, military-grade means “meets our minimum spec at the lowest price.”
So it means they said “Our casing was made of this material last year, and this is the lowest bidder for the same quality this year.”

Were you by chance running a proxy, even on localhost? Here’s a good description of that issue: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29539106
That thread also mentions the Windows 95 requirement for randomization on mouse movement. A page you visited regularly may have been using this.

- Comment on How was your valentines day weekend? 4 weeks ago:
Never take advice from internet strangers. But it nonetheless will be given, so here goes.
What’s that, no presents in that?
Tell your partner your relationship will not last without change, and that you want to have small, short conversations with takeaway actions more regularly. My guess is that’s the truth, and communication, even a little, can help tremendously when both parties engage.
Oh look, communication, but, no presents?
Saying your relationship will fail and end bluntly will make them scared of that actually happening, because they most likely currently feel secure enough in the relationship to ignore your needs. This is common unfortunately, often born of time and repetitiveness.
Oh no… Still no presents and we’re close to halfway through.
Make sure they ubderstand that conversation doesn’t have to he daunting (that will scare then), but simple and easy single topics at a time. The first few may be longer, but they will get shorter, and tell them that you are open to talking to someone together if they feel it is warranted or have trouble having those conversations on their own (that alone may spur them to engage).
Oh crap, more about conversation.
Peppering in positive commentary or actions, like what you enjoy from them (especially what they do for you) and positive actions (like planning a weekend away or a night out) can also help take the strain out of the conversations, too.
Hmm, ways to make conversation more comfortable, but presents aren’t it.
Sorry you are going through this, mental and/or emotional dissatisfaction in a relationship is rough, but assuming you really want to work through it, it is possible to get brick walls to move.
And affirmation.
Reading comprehension is hard, I guess.

Them:
Nothing happened
Me:
- Gives advice that has nothing to do with presents.
You:
no to whatever is going on with saying they need presents on valentines.
You just went on a tirade because you misread comments. Hope you had fun.

Read the comment again. No one is talking about presents but you.
- Comment on How was your valentines day weekend? 5 weeks ago:
What? No to communication? Yes to just bail? Thanks for bringing the Reddit vibe.
Your situation sounds great, it is in fact similar to mine. But guess what, it’s not unique, and your relationship is not better than comment OPs because you and your partner are on the same page on holidays and presents. No one is talking about changing a person, we talk about changing behavior.
They could be compatible in a thousand different ways except this one, you have no idea. And if you think your relationship is perfect without communication around the things that aren’t, then either that relationship is new, or your partner isn’t being honest with you.

- Comment on My Honest Opinion 1 month ago:
You’re taking that out of context. Signal is open source, but you don’t get to see what happens between GitHub and the Play Store. Adobe’s system that I am aluding to is also open, but we don’t get to see what happens in the software itself. The problem is, that’s not even what I’m talking about. I’m talking about a standard they are developing, not their software or DRM.
This isn’t just for Adobe, they’re just starting the process. Other systems can run it. Hardware can run it. Do you not use linux because Canonical or Red Hat contributed? Do you steer developers away from flutter because Google started it? Where is the line? Who do you think kicks off all the standards you use today? OAuth, OIDC, etc. If you want to avoid everything these companies contribe to, you’re going to have to stop using the internet.
