- Comment on Remember the reason for the season 1 day ago:
You are right, I shouldn’t said the movement, but the may day or may 1st commemorates among other things the general strike that started on May 1st and the Haymarket affair that took place in Chicago
- Comment on Remember the reason for the season 4 days ago:
For a movement that started in Chicago, celebrated in the whole world on May 1st except in the US and Canada
- Comment on The prices of these NFL games…nope. 2 weeks ago:
They used to be one of the cheapest before Dan Campbell’s revolution, I went to a few matches when they were cheap, that’s when I realized that I prefer to watch NFL games on the TV. Hockey, NBA and soccer are great live, but NFL you spend more time looking at the giant screen to see the details of each play

This would be “midly” if it was a $5 gas station sub

And it’s super easy to exploit, barely an inconvenience
Even the “back ups” can be downloaded from the official servers

- Comment on Nova Launcher unashamedly inserts malware ads into your home screen now. 7 months ago:
Uff I installed it last week but I haven’t had the time to customize it and add all my shortcuts so I’m still using Nova. I’ll definitely need to change it tomorrow

- Comment on How far do you wear your daily shoes out before bothering to replace them? 7 months ago:
I walk a lot and I use them until they are no longer comfortable to walk
I have flat feet and I usually wear down the soles in an angle and I start walking “funny”, creating more issues.
- Comment on PS5 ROM Keys Leaked: Sony’s Unpatchable Security Nightmare (2026) | The CyberSec Guru 8 months ago:
nobody bought the ps5?
Key Figures & Estimates (Late 2025/Early 2026)
PlayStation 5 (PS5): ~84-86 million units (crossing 80M mark by late 2025).
Xbox Series X/S: ~34 million units (estimates vary, but well behind PS5).
Nintendo Switch (Original): ~154 million units (still selling well, nearing DS).
Nintendo Switch 2 (New): Starting sales with ~12.4 million units by late 2025 (estimated).
84 mil seems like a lot. PS games have always been discounted, contrary to Nintendo games
- Comment on Greece, Italy and France ignore ICC warrant as Netanyahu flies through airspace for Trump talks 8 months ago:
Don’t they need to request permission to enter the airspace before take off? They should at least deny the request and make them take a longer route
- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 8 months ago:
I feel the same as you, my wife loves celery and puts it on everything but I feel like it subtracts flavors on most stuff. She eats raw celery all the time, I can maybe stand it with a lot of ranch next to some buffalo wings

- Comment on When Americans Fly Economy, They're Actually Paying for Someone Else to Fly Private 1 year ago:
It makes sense if you are going to Atlanta or Orlando, not if you are just connecting somewhere else
Don’t get me wrong, I love trains and I’d love to see a big network of high speed trains
- Comment on When Americans Fly Economy, They're Actually Paying for Someone Else to Fly Private 1 year ago:
ATL is the largest by total commercial emplanements
- Comment on When Americans Fly Economy, They're Actually Paying for Someone Else to Fly Private 1 year ago:
Exactly my point, people flying that route are taking connecting flights
- Comment on When Americans Fly Economy, They're Actually Paying for Someone Else to Fly Private 1 year ago:
How many are a final destination? Orlando is a big hub for planes coming from South America and Atlanta y the biggest US hub, so probably a lot of people flying that route are connecting and wouldn’t make a lot of sense to get a plane ticket and then a train and then another flight
- Comment on Citing “market conditions,” Nintendo hikes prices of original Switch consoles 1 year ago:
- Comment on Off topic 1 year ago:
Mostly is because it’s mixed for 5.1
The center channel takes care of most of the dialog and the rest is distributed to 4 satellite (and usually smaller) speakers but when it’s down sampled to stereo everything has the same level
- Comment on Ads when you’re pumping gas 1 year ago:
Not anymore, it stopped working a while ago
- Comment on Yes 1 year ago:
My PC didn’t support boot from CD, so I had to use about 6 WinXP floppies just to load the necessary drives to install from the CD. Good times
I think we also had the Win 95 and 98 installallers somewhere although I learned how to do it when upgrading from 98 to ME

- Comment on Great web site AXS 1 year ago:
it’s because most larger concert halls in the USA and the ticket service they use online are owned by the most evil fucking corporation and I am fucking sick of it.
Do you realize AXS is not Ticketmaster/Live Nation?
I’m not defending them but they are different corporations
