The completely ignored laws of thermodynamics in this story always bugged me

- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Seconding this. He sounds smart enough to understand “Hey, I need a few minutes, but I still want to talk”.
Raising our kids, we never used reasons like “because I said so”, we always explained why we made the decisions we did, so our children learned reasoning and understanding as they grew. Kids are generally quick to learn, and can understand most situations if explained plainly. Talk to them with clarity and respect and you’ll be surprised at the response you get.

They’re all amazing but my vote is for Campfire Headphase
- Comment on Here's the scoop 3 weeks ago:
So, what’s the scoop? No name or product link!
- Comment on You could get anything you wanted and it was FREE 3 weeks ago:
In 2001 my Uni’s entire campus network was shut down for 3 days to clean up a massive NIMDA infection. Wild times.
- Comment on I was today years old when I found out Glomming on some Glizzys means eating some hot dogs. 1 month ago:
Glomming? I thought it was guzzling…
- Comment on Why do some drivers turn off the signal sound so quickly? 1 month ago:
Same. This runs for 3 seconds and blinks 3 times. If the car behind you is not paying attention to you for longer than that, that’s their problem. Your first priority when driving is looking where you are going before anything else.
- Comment on Horses ARE Forever 1 month ago:
Cars are just a scam made up by Big Horse to sell more horsepower without actually selling any horses
- Comment on Is there any negative consequence to wearing socks inside out? 2 months ago:
My best friend of 25+ years has always worn his socks inside out. He has always preferred the smooth finished side to the unfinished/textured “inside” of normal socks.
It has never been a problem nor will it. It’s just preference. Go for it, it’s not going to change a single thing other than how your socks feel.

Looks more like a bassment to me
- Comment on I remember when I thought this was just magic 2 months ago:
I used a Mavica that took FD’s for storage, back in the late 90s. I loaned it from school for a project. It was fun and frustrating at the same time. It’s crazy how far this tech as evolved.
- Comment on Who gets all the tariff money about to be collected from US citizens buying products from Canada? 2 months ago:
They’re furthermore a way to start fights using someone else’s money, that they can then take with impunity. So effectively US citizens are now getting charged a premium to fight a war they don’t want, without a choice.
I recall a war that started over taxation without representation…
- Comment on Is it normal for high sugar contents like in cake icing to make my uvula tickle? 3 months ago:
You’re probably mildly allergic to one of the ingredients.
There are foods that will make my mouth/throat feel itchy on occasion. I’m pretty sure I’m mildly allergic to a few things, but not enough for it to be a safety issue.

- Comment on Plumbing Subreddit that locks anyone that is "new", even after everyone has commented 5 months ago:
Some mods have CSS/automod set up where if you’re not subscribed, you can’t post. This is actually against reddit’s own TOS, mods are not allowed to break site functionality to gain views, clicks, or participation, but the admins let it slide because it results in higher subscription counts.

That’s what they use to resurface ice
- Comment on Did something about mass produced ice cream change like 10 years ago? 6 months ago:
This is called overrun and is the main way you get shorted on product. More overrun means a creamier feeling product, but it also means you get less. So there’s that.
- Comment on How long do you think we'll keep seeing "formerly Twitter"? 6 months ago:
No one likes their x
- Comment on what's stops one from scavenging the best parts of old phones and putting them into a new one? 6 months ago:
All of this stuff is usually fit onto a single board, crammed into a very specific amount of space, and is thoroughly and iterated until it works properly. This isn’t the kind of stuff a home lab does, but you could certainly try. I think it would be damn near impossible to do it better and more reliably than teams of hundreds or thousands of various engineers. It’s not like you can just take a phone CPU and slap it on a random board without a ton of forethought.

I took the time to dress the back of my desk, and all cables are routed appropriately, but there are SO many of them it still looks like spaghetti.

Well, damn. You’re right. I must rescind the point distribution.

You have Cocoa Puffs and Corn Pops combined, I’m going to give you 2 points for that.
