- Comment on What’s your go-to hiking gear in 2025? Here’s what worked best for me 2 days ago:
TIL! thanks
- Comment on so I'm thin skinned and cannot get over established coworkers lazying around massively while I toil. Kudos to all of you who can. I want out. 1 week ago:
I don’t know what to say other than thank you. People like you make the world go round.
Of course that shouldn’t mean that you work yourself to death.
- Comment on What happend to messenging apps interoperability in the EU? 1 week ago:
It works.
You wrote your comment on a platform that is proof that interoperability works.
- Comment on If you argue for a cause like affordable housing for everyone, is it necessarily hypocritical if you also own investment properties? 1 week ago:
Agree to disagree, I guess.

I feel like you are not considering that your examples are necessary to be able to participate in todays society, unless you want to live in a 100% self sustaining homestead. Owning investment properties is not necessary for that.

Oh god yeah that does sound like it should get him in plenty of trouble. I get buerocracy can be crazy annoying but this is just unacceptable
- Comment on Mmm num ba de dum bum ba be doo buh dum ba beh beh 3 weeks ago:
Absolutely, it just made me question the origin of that phrase that I assumed, because it also makes perfect sense here.

Who decided that bids from unlicensed workers were accepted? Ridiculous
- Comment on Mmm num ba de dum bum ba be doo buh dum ba beh beh 3 weeks ago:
Wait, the common phrase does come from a fiber thread though right? O.O
- Comment on Is there a decent, offline Android text editor/IDE for c# programming. 3 weeks ago:
Ahh I though you use it as a daily driver. That makes sense.

I want to like unexpected keyboard, but sith lack of autocorrect it’s just super annoying to actuslly use

The name’s the game: e-pit-helium. So basically helium, but the pit/nucleus is made of a localized standing waves in the electric field.
Usually protons and neutrons form the center of an atom, with the protons providing an attractive force that keeps the electrons in orbit. This charge does not need to come from protons to form an atom though, even if it usually does. In the case of epithelium, it’s a standing wave in the electrical field. This only works for smaller atoms, like helium, though.
I’m talking out my butt if that’s not clear by now.
- Comment on Would it be weird to ask my brother if I could tag along when he goes out with his friends? 3 weeks ago:
Her brother is entitled to preferring to spend time with his friends without his sister. I wouldn’t say it’s weird he hasn’t asked her to join.
- Comment on I knew I should have cancelled the order 😑 4 weeks ago:
Dang, this one got me as well. I guess I was hoping for the good in humanity. Doing that gets harder every day…
- Comment on Booking.com ignored me after my bedbug nightmare 4 weeks ago:
You do have a point there. Media literacy should get a better focus during education.
However I don’t think its a fair comparison. The general public cannot currently be expected to have good media literacy, as long as there is no proper public education. I’m not aware of any public schools properly teaching media literacy during the general education (I mean before college), so a good chunk of the population, if not the majority, will never even stop to consider things like what kinda assumptions they made about an article.
It is something you can expect from someone who studied journalism though.
So if the goal of the journalist was good journalism, they should plan ahead and use clear language without any room for assumptions. If they use headlines like this it just seems like clickbait to me.
- Comment on Booking.com ignored me after my bedbug nightmare 4 weeks ago:
The thing I’m trying to get at: a good title shouldn’t leave room for assumptions, and I’m pretty sure this kinda stuff is being done just to make you click, not to provide good journalism.
- Comment on Booking.com ignored me after my bedbug nightmare 4 weeks ago:
The ambiguity of what exactly is meant by ‘nightmare’
- Comment on Booking.com ignored me after my bedbug nightmare 4 weeks ago:
Tbf, reading the headline I also assumed the author accidentally took them home. I’m pretty sure this ambiguity is on purpose, and should be frowned upon.
- Comment on I did not look up how progressive lenses really work before getting some. 5 weeks ago:
Hmm yeah I have to agree that’s a fair point lol
- Comment on I did not look up how progressive lenses really work before getting some. 5 weeks ago:
Why would that be an issue? Just use the distance glasses, and your good. Or do you need to constantly read the vehicle manual to drive?
- Comment on Thanks I hate it 5 weeks ago:
Functionally, it was put back the way it was found. That person is not being paid enough to give a shit about aesthetics. So doing that IMO absolutely is going above and beyond.
- Comment on Thanks I hate it 5 weeks ago:
depends on how exhausted I am already on that day, but honestly probably not. I try not to go above and beyond for my employer without some kind of agreed upon compensation but stuff like this I’d do right just for my own satisfaction
