My God. That video is incredible. I feel somewhat surprised I’ve never come across it before but thanks for posting it. What a little nugget.

That’s cool. We’re going to look back at present views of dinosaurs with laughter it sounds like. Thanks for the answer. I’ll check out the book.

That’s cool. How did they figure out the colouring?
- Comment on Game over 2 weeks ago:
That is fucking magnificent. If you’re not a dad your talent is being wasted on us mere mortals.

Damn. Where did that 15 years go? 😭
- Comment on Earbud question: Does anyone actually like to silicone tipped earbuds over the solid plastic ones? 2 weeks ago:
One of the best investments I ever made was replacing the silicone with memory foam tips. Highly recommend trying it.
Comfy and excellent sound isolation.

Fascinating stuff.

- Comment on England’s poorest areas have 70% more vape shops and bookmakers than wealthier ones 5 weeks ago:
Bookies are a tax on the poor. The lottery is too.
- Comment on Usually a horrible interaction for all involved 5 weeks ago:
So… Tell us about the drugs in the carpark. That’s definitely a story.
- Comment on "Between raising two young boys and putting in long hours at a marketing job, Kevin Caldwell can almost never find the time to make dinner. So he and his husband spend about $700 a week to order in" 1 month ago:
I don’t think that’s that strange.
I mean it’s fairly strange in that I’m not young and I’ve never met a person IRL who does that.
Not putting you down at all. You do you. I’m just pointing out that it is very unusual.
- Comment on Would the United States actually risk a Tiananmen Square incident? 1 month ago:
Absolute lack of understanding of how the Catholics were being treated on full display. It was deeply rooted systemic shitting on that was going nowhere.
- Comment on TRIMUI Brick Hammer, a weirdly named but beautiful handheld 1 month ago:
That is actually plenty for retro games. All those old consoles ran on tiny amounts of ram.
- Comment on Growing number of adults avoid booze, NHS survey suggests 1 month ago:
It depends on the beer. The really good ones do a full brew then extract the alcohol. The cheaper ones tend to be sweeter so haven’t done the fermentation.
- Comment on What would happen if a person proved in a lab they're gaining weight while in a verified calorie deficit? 1 month ago:
Supplementing creatine does this.

I try hard to put myself into other people’s shoes but I find it impossible to imagine being as fuckin’ stupid as this.

Those Project Zero folks are phenomenal.
- Comment on Guide - How to buy DDR5 in 2026 1 month ago:
Fair play to you. It’s definitely helpful to be selling 32GB that would otherwise just be sitting there. Treat yourself to something nice with the money! :)
I recently got a hand-me-down from my bestie of 4x4GB of DDR4 (along with a 3060ti woop woop!) and I’m really happy with it so yeah, folks definitely still want it.
If you have any trouble with memtest feel free to hit me up. I’m happy to help.
- Comment on Guide - How to buy DDR5 in 2026 2 months ago:
How can I make sure it’s in 100% perfect working condition. ?
Memtest is what you’re after. You need to boot into it from a USB key because you can’t reliably test ram on a running OS.
There’s a commercial version that has a free offering or this open source one which I’ve found excellent.
I’d encourage you to sell it. In these trying times, any extra supply is helpful.
- Comment on True of mine but he more than made up for it 2 months ago:
I did basically all the gift shopping this year and set up all the Santa stuff with the help of one of my older kids as my wife was knackered yesterday.
Other years my wife has done the bulk of the shopping and we usually do the setup together. There’s no structure to who does the shopping I suppose, it’s more whoever has the time or energy any given year.

It is without doubt my favourite photo of all time. I’m glad you got a “hell yeah” from it too. This thread has some gems.

- Comment on What's this ram price surge thing going on in the memes? Is this gonna affect pre-builts, laptops, tablets, phones, and other electronics? 3 months ago:
Eventually it will influence consumer electronics.
It already has and in a big way. I saw one comment on a Jeff Geerling video saying they had bought 96G of DDR5 RAM a year ago for $205 and that it was well over $600 now.
- Comment on Patients clogging up A&E with hiccups, sore throats and niggles 3 months ago:
Ah if someone has a seizure you’re just calling an ambulance. I actually think it might be free if you do. I had to call one for my wife early in the year and I don’t recall us paying (she badly needed it).
- Comment on Patients clogging up A&E with hiccups, sore throats and niggles 3 months ago:
Ah if you break your arm you just head straight in. I’m not sure if a medical card (essentially free medical treatment for low income folks) works for that but I’d imagine it does.
We had a lot of folks just arriving into A&E before because it was cheaper than going to their GP.
- Comment on Patients clogging up A&E with hiccups, sore throats and niggles 3 months ago:
They partly solved that here (Ireland) by making A&E visits €100 but free if your GP sends you in, but it sounds from the other comments like your GP situation is dire over there. How bad is it?
