Thanks, Dookieman12
- Comment on It's been a while since I was fired from my job, so here's a picture of Windows updating at the wrong time 1 day ago:
I don’t like Windows, but at the point where the laptop updates automatically hasn’t it been bugging you about the update for hours or even days? I generally file complaints about bad update timings in the “fucked around and found out” folder
- Comment on I've been using this simple trick to keep cool in the heat wave (UK) 6 days ago:
Thank you. I thought I was insane because surely mobile units would have two tubes if they really needed them. Then I got one with a single tube (the only ones available) and found out that no, I am sane and these units work really badly.
- Comment on 👴☝️I did that 4 weeks ago:
That’s bizarre. Worse than being consistent, somehow.
- Comment on 👴☝️I did that 5 weeks ago:
Probably before VAT.

Me looking at the poop in the toilet after having eaten an entire bucket of sugar free Haribo bears:

I too think it’s magnesium, but what I can actually confirm is that I haven’t had this since I started taking multivitamins. Y’all are vitamin deficient.
- Comment on here there be lions 10 months ago:
Maybe not the lions? Unless you think men fighting over harems of women is cooperation.
- Comment on Ideas coming down the track 10 months ago:
No need to apologize.
Anyway, US airlines can and do choose between Boeing, Airbus, Bombardier, and Embraer. No single company holds them hostage. On the supply side, the Airbus factory in Mobile, Alabama employs more than 2000 workers. And of course Airbus has US suppliers in addition to this.
- Comment on Ideas coming down the track 10 months ago:
The lack of widespread regenerative breaking in subways is leading to commuters’ lungs being filled with brake dust, in addition to heating up the stations, which is a problem in summer. This is really bad and embarrassing. Rail moves far too slow when it comes to adopting new tech.
- Comment on Ideas coming down the track 10 months ago:
How is the airline industry just Boeing? What an odd thing to say.
- Comment on iRobot’s future isn’t looking up 10 months ago:
Apparently the arm doesn’t work that well.
- Comment on iRobot’s future isn’t looking up 10 months ago:
Roborock seems to be the nvidia of robot vacuums. They’re not always the best, but are seen as a safe choice, and they have the best app. I gave up on reading tests since apparently models are refreshed every monday, and just got a roborock.
The best vacuum is apparently the Dreame X50 Ultra Complete, and you can actually find it in stores still, but it costs like 1200 euros or something insane like that.
Tldr it’s a market for lemons, sadly. Everyone copes by getting Roborock. The one known good one costs as much as a 5080.

Some of these series are alright if you skip every other game. After two-three releases they will have accumulated some innovation.
- Comment on bad board games 11 months ago:
It’s about landlordism specifically, not capitalism. Used to be called “The Landlord’s Game”.
- Comment on The low-cost creative revolution: How technology is making art accessible to everyone 11 months ago:
To be fair, there’s a lot of “art” in video games that no other industry would recognize as such. Brick textures. That kind of thing. I’m perfectly okay with using AI for these necessary but unimportant tasks. Same with using stock assets. These assets just have to be good enough for nobody to notice they’re there.
- Comment on Well OK then 11 months ago:
And tbf they’d be correct. Best you can hope for is a laugh.
- Comment on Valve opening pre-orders for new hardware 11 months ago:
Damn. Thought they launched something new.
- Comment on Maybe someday 😌 11 months ago:
Do these people not ever talk to anyone in real life? How do you arrive at thinking all real humans are Marxists/Leninists?
- Comment on We live wasted lives 11 months ago:
Once everything has been optimized and runs smoothly, there are no surprises anymore, nothing interesting, you just do a routine that you’ve specialized in and have gotten bored at 10 years ago. Our quality of life is unparalleled. Our quality of work less so. It’s safe and all, but so so boring
- Comment on Corporations are saving the planet! 11 months ago:
I think the kind of plastic used in bottles is one of very few that actually are profitable to recycle. PET, I think. This is actually something recycling companies want. Most other plastic is just burned or shipped somewhere.
- Comment on MrBeast scraps AI YouTube thumbnail generator days after announcing it: 'If creators don't want the tools, no worries' 11 months ago:
If his shows aren’t entertaining why are so many people entertained by them? Makes no sense. People may have no taste, but that’s a different issue.
- Comment on They used to keep that thing ice cold straight through the 90s. 1 year ago:
The tusks know where they are because they know where they are not
- Comment on Mantis, watch out! 1 year ago:
You didn’t have to write this.
- Comment on I'm sure it's just a coincidence that everything that can be wielded against them either just isn't implemented (good mod tooling) or doesn't work properly (user/instance blocking) 1 year ago:
Would love to block .ml. The stuff coming out of there is just too dumb.
- Comment on Let my Duolingo streak expire cos I don't want to give them any more AI training for free and this popped up 🙄 1 year ago:
I’d be surprised if anyone has. You need to actually use a language to learn it properly. But an app is a good start and supplement.
- Comment on Kid gave a reasonable answer without all the math bullshit 1 year ago:
Tge principal is not necessarily any smarter than the teachers. Often it’s the opposite.
- Comment on Console war, console war never changes 1 year ago:
Kinda agree, but the consoles already are alternatives to Windows. Don’t really see what’s super special about the Steam Deck, tbh.
Surprised Microsoft hasn’t made some sort of DRM to prevent Xbox studio games from being played on Proton, though.

That’s vile
