- Comment on Will Firefox die for good if Google is forced to sell off Chrome? 6 hours ago:
The opposite. Google won’t be able to leverage chrome to drive website design and Internet policy anymore and it’ll give smaller companies an opportunity to get a better foothold in the market. That’s the whole point in breaking them off from Google in the first place.
- Comment on At what age do we switch from measuring a human by length to by height? 2 days ago:
About the time they start walking.
Once they’re standing up, they’re tall.
While they’re still laying down, they’re long. - Comment on Are illegal streaming sites really getting shut down a lot lately or has it always been like this? 4 days ago:
It’s more or less always been like this.
p2p services like Napster were getting a shut down and replaced with limewire, then limewire was shut down and replaced with FrostWire. The Pirate Bay has been shut down at least half a dozen times, demonoid was shut down 6 years ago, Grooveshark was once an ad free music streaming service but tried to go legit at some point to save themselves, every few years the movie and record industries get a burr up their ass and go for the piracy and streaming websites. But these websites have always been like a Hydra and when one of them is killed, several more eventually pop up to take their place. - Comment on What do zoos do with dead animals? 1 week ago:
As someone who grew up with horses, in most cases the hole is dug first with a ramp, the horse is walked into the hole, then it’s euthanized.

Tablets are notebooks that the paper flips vertically over the top instead of folding to the left or right
- Comment on Why are laptop adapters so much larger than phone adapters of same power rating? 3 weeks ago:
Voltage is the same but wattage is not.
Most of your phone chargers will be 65w or less while a laptop isn’t going to charge on fewer than 100w most of the time. - Comment on Why do I feel sick every time I go out to eat with my gf? 1 month ago:
Placebo effect?
Maybe you got a touch of food poisoning one of the first times and now you subconsciously associate it with date nights? - Comment on If Donald Trump was black, would he have made it this far in politics? 2 months ago:
Not as a Republican.
- Comment on Help me to settle on a face design for the character I've just added to my game, called The Humorless Toaster. (It's only here to make toast, not listen to your nonsense.) 2 months ago:
Yep

2, but make him look more indifferent and less angry I think.
- Comment on Can I run mint Linux from an external drive? 3 months ago:
The “superior OS” is whichever one meets the users needs the best.
For most people Windows works just fine because a PC is an appliance to them, and an important feature of an appliance is simplicity for the user.
But for others Linux works better, especially if you want to do anything server related - Comment on Could President Biden fully legalize cannabis before he leaves office? 3 months ago:
Trump also could have won in 2020 and we’d already be living in the dictatorship with no prospect of an election this November, so does the “you” in this time realize how lucky you are?
- Comment on Are cars with AWD worth it compared to FWD. 4 months ago:
Depends on where you live, does it snow a lot? If so then AWD is absolutely better.
- Comment on $500 aluminum version of the Analogue Pocket looks like the Game Boy’s final form 4 months ago:
Why won’t anyone make these with a GBA layout?
My old GBA was my favorite way to play Gameboy and GBC games because it’s just easier to hold. - Comment on Microsoft asks many Game Pass subscribers to pay more for less 4 months ago:
$16.99 was pretty steep for how much I used it, I just cancelled.

Fucking Internet lefties
Ah, there it is.

That’s a long way to go to avoid a question, several paragraphs and you can’t even come up with one name.

Who do you have in mind?

- Comment on New Crazy Taxi title will be an open-world, massively multiplayer AAA game, according to Sega 4 months ago:
So they’re turning it into a Driver/GTA clone?
- Comment on [deleted] 4 months ago:
So you’ll know it’s supposed to be funny.
If you’ve ever watched the the videos of the Big Bang Theory sitcom with the laugh tracks removed, you’ll notice it feels a lot more like a group of people being shitty and verbally abusive towards each other and it’s not all that funny without being told to laugh.
Why go through the trouble of writing an actual funny dialogue when you can just tell the viewers it’s funny and they’ll laugh? - Comment on What happens if I never activate Windows? 5 months ago:
It’ll harass you to activate it indefinitely but Microsoft has a policy that they’d rather have people steal their operating system than pay for someone else’s, so ultimately that’s it. It’ll just annoy you.
- Comment on If we get two sets of chromosomes, how does our body decide which genes to use? 5 months ago:
They reside in the X chromosome and sometimes one of those genes has mutated. If you only have the mutated version you may be unable to see some colors.
Also, with 2 x chromosomes it’s possible to get an extra set of cone cells and see MORE colors.

- Comment on Why does the government of the USA stand by the country of Israel? 6 months ago:
I don’t disagree at all, But I feel like the only reason why the United States has any interest in controlling the Middle East is because of the oil.
- Comment on What will happen to large companies once poor people have no more money to use? 7 months ago:
Use us as cheap labor to produce products intended to be sold overseas, just like China has been doing for the past 40 years or so.
Do you really think the people that made your iPhone will ever be able to afford an iPhone? - Comment on Where in the world is laptop gaming the most popular? 7 months ago:
Right??
I only game on laptop because I can’t justify spending the money on a homebuilt rig at the moment. - Comment on Is the combined knowledge of humanity safer than it has ever been? 7 months ago:
Just a quick correction, but there are 5 generations to a century, a generation is 20 years.
