• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Caves Of Qud': Roguelike RPG Finally Launches After 17 Years in Development (And It's Really Good)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s so good, but I’m a bit sad that my current playthrough from last week can’t load into 1.0…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm thinking taffy.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s gotta be pahoehoe (the one that looks like honey being stirred)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨graceful wombats⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  While there are actually several new world marsupials, I’m fairly certain that they’re all opossums.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Faries are real!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That looks to be some type of velvet worm.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Faries are real!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m so glad my favorite moth, the rosy maple moth (the pink and yellow one with a mullet) was in this picture.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨puts hair on ya chest⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The imperial system doesn’t have any electromagnetism units that I’m aware of, so they borrow from SI.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stand your ground⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks like five mistakes to me. And two spelling errors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Disney creates best argument for piracy in a century.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, definitely a place where society is lacking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do radio stations all seem to go on commercial at the same time?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed. For an example of station id happening at slightly off times, listen to a live sports broadcast (like baseball). Due to the shorter time between pitches, station id will instead happen between batters, which won’t line up with any given time.

  Same thing with hockey, where radio station id will happen when the clock stops.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Disney creates best argument for piracy in a century.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not the original person in the thread, but I’m pretty anti-piracy. However, the bulk of my media spending is on musicians (with direct buying from an artist being my primary means of purchase).

  With that said, I absolutely understand why so many people pirate movies/tv. Streaming for those is an absolute shit show.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Venomous⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I cannot remember the last time I saw a KQ5 reference. Well done.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Irresistible⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think they’re implying that a black hole the mass of a person has the same gravitational attraction that the person had before collapsing (negligible).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Country music⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s also a few other spots not claimed by any country, like Bir Tawil between Egypt and Sudan.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do i need to install a driver?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, definitely don’t just stick something in, use protection. If you want to use an unknown public charge, there are USB data blocker adapters you can buy.

  You get slow charging (since the devices can’t negotiate), but it’s better than an infection.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Quizzle – Can you guess the word in fewer than twenty questions?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The AI seemed to struggle with scientific names for #19.

  The question

  spoiler

  "Is it in the Actinopterygii class?"

  was answered as no, though the correct answer should have been yes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Quizzle – Can you guess the word in fewer than twenty questions?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  So if the answer is yes and no (conditional versus a universal property of the thing), you always answer yes? I would consider that strange, but as long as it is applied consistently then I suppose it is fine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Quizzle – Can you guess the word in fewer than twenty questions?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It is interesting, but with weird quirks.

  It is definitely capable of responding with 🤷‍♂️, but neglects to do so in some expected areas.

  “does it use a microprocessor?” 👍 “was it invented before 1970?” 👍

  These are somewhat contradictory. No microwave in 1946-1971 could have had a microprocessor. If the answer is “sometimes yes, sometimes no” then 🤷‍♂️ is probably best.
