What? That would be like saying Chris Hemsworth got “Thor’d” because that’s all he played in the MCU.
Belzer played way more than just Munch.

Just a few more billion dollars .
We’re so close!
- Comment on What is the current best smart TV software/brand/ecosystem option? 1 month ago:
Sony Bravia, not connected to any network, running in Pro Mode so it’s “just a TV”
Then a PC running plex and the arrs to substitute the streaming services.
- Comment on How do you ask for a haircut? 2 months ago:
Explain what you want. It’s that easy.
I did many years of “I want something simple that I can maintain easily, and will still look ok when I drag my ass out of bed at 10am, an hour late for work. Anything but a buzz cut”
Eventually I found something that I can touch up at home myself, and can explain to even the shittiest of barbers.
It’s hair. Nobody really gives a shit. You’ll get some shit ones, some good ones, a buzz cut you explicitly didn’t want. Nobody got hurt, and it grows back.
- Comment on Walmart's use of digital price tags signal the future of retail shopping, but consumers are worried 3 months ago:
It’s America, so the answer is probably “No”.
Do you not have consumer protection laws?
We’ve had digital price tags for decades. But you couldn’t do this in NZ. Stores are obligated to sell you a product at the price they advertise it for AND have a reasonable quantity of units at that price… you couldn’t sell 1 TV for $1.
So these systems would need to track what price you saw it at.
(Caveat: Our stores are still cunts and have been found to overcharge people)

They are also IR controlled. A lot of them have a little window on the front of the unit, and an array of transmitters in the ceiling.
- Comment on Who Wants To Be A Lemming 3 months ago:
Why would it result in zero women playing? I’m not suggesting you merge the women’s teams with the open team.
But have it so your women’s teams performance counts just as much as the men’s.
Two teams (men’s and women’s), each playing against their own gender, scoring points in one league.
No point paying your dudes millions per season to get the best players if your women’s team sucks and loses every game.
Get teams and fans an incentive to invest and in both genders by playing for the same trophy.
- Comment on Who Wants To Be A Lemming 3 months ago:
Why does nobody watch the women’s leagues? Is it because nobody else does? can’t have all the social aspects of sports if nobody else is doing it.
Imo, they need to stop the segregation. Ditch the women’s leagues, but keep the games and teams. Have both teams play in one league, and contribute to the overall score of the team.
It’ll add new strategy to the seasons. Spend all of your budget on the dudes and hope they keep winning despite the ladies; build a strong women’s team to carry your b-tier men’s team; or something in between.
- Comment on Applied for a job and was asked to do a live interview. But all I get is this. 3 months ago:
Take what HR says with a grain of salt.
If they’re gaming H1B, They’re not gonna say “yeah we’re faking it to get cheap indentured immigrants to work for us”.
- Comment on AI is the future 5 months ago:
More eyes on your website, means less on other websites, making your adverts more valuable.
And when it doesn’t work, it doesn’t matter, because you run the advertising on the other websites too. Bonus: you can penalise rankings for websites that don’t use your advertising network.

Internet companies in the 2000s, without LLMs: me! I don’t know what to do with it, but me!
- Comment on Anon encounters a Switch owner 7 months ago:
The exploration in BoTW/ToTK was just exploration with shipping lists.
“I need new weapons, food, and some Korok seeds. Where’s my spreadsheet of Fibonacci numbers so I can remember how many seeds I need”
- Comment on Anon encounters a Switch owner 7 months ago:
And so much of this is just grind:
- grinding to find oktoroks
- grinding to exponentially find more of the little seed shits, so you can increase your inventory
- grinding to repair your weapons.
BoTW was a grindfest, and ToTK chucked more grind on top

- Comment on Road casualties have become normal in Britain. But there is another way 1 year ago:
A similar trope is tossed around in motorcycling communities.
(Supposedly) Motorcyclists make better drivers, not only in themselves but also in their friends, family and neighbours by virtue of awareness “my neighbour Jim is a motorcyclist, I should look out for him when I’m driving”.
Some groups are advocating that the CBT (basic motorcycle training) should be a requirement for new drivers to capitalise on this.
Some level of mandatory other-road-user immersion requirement could be a good way a good way to boost safety.
Fuck, driver licensing is too relaxed anyway, bring in mandatory retesting and increase the skill requirements gradually. Literally force the shit drivers out of their cars. You do it for commercial/heavy vehicles why not personal.
- Comment on Are smart door locks more or less secure than traditional door locks? 1 year ago:
A few have external terminals to charge them when they die.
I have a 9v battery stashed in a flower pot next to my door for when it happens.
