- Comment on Where does technology come from in Star Wars? 9 hours ago:
If you ever end up watching Andor, they explain more of how the empire mines entire planets to collapse acquiring minerals they need, destabilizes galactic views of planets to ensure resistance would be minimalized. It also goes into how the weakness in the DeathStar was created and how some engineers were essentially enslaved/forced into to building it. Believe they gun down most of the lead engineers in Rogue One.

Yeah, for a magazine or something to pay for a photo they would want it to to be something people haven’t seen before. I know Radcliffe did a talk about wearing the same clothes (jacket really) when leaving movie sets every day so the locations, person, and clothing all matches for say 6 months. Value of the photos drop, less likely to have more paparazzi hounding you daily.
- Comment on What are some good cooperative shooters? Hidden gems? 1 day ago:
I seem to remember liking Resistance: Fall of Man, but it isn’t something you’ll play over and over. But the couch co-op story mode was fun to play with my partner back in 2007 or so.
- Comment on I'd choose 4 tbh 1 day ago:
Why not throw in 5 for ease of life. Washer died, can carry it to the curb with ease and not have to ever bother someone else. I realize you can just hire people but I feel like super strength is ultimately just a lazy perk, and damn I’m lazy. Back hurts from playing with your kids, psh, they way about the same as a penny, wouldnt even need to think about it.
- Comment on Microsoft renames "Remote Desktop" to "Windows App". Good luck googling for any help or troubleshooting it. 3 days ago:
I wonder if that has to do with them trying to integrate access for zero client type setups. If 20 people are remoted into a VM setup but they all are coming from the same rack, the IP/Hostname would be the same in theory, so if you try to RDP to it, the protocol doesn’t work properly, it would want to kick all the other users off their instances to let them sign in. Been a bit since I’ve had tonl manage virtual instances though, so maybe I’m forgetting something.
- Comment on Microsoft renames "Remote Desktop" to "Windows App". Good luck googling for any help or troubleshooting it. 3 days ago:
Am I reading that wrong or is it just saying the Windows Store version (which was terrible) is going away. It tells you to use the normal remote desktop function that has existed in Windows until they put that new stupidly named app in the Store.
So if you run rdp.exe it should function as normal. The mstsc.exe was just a stupid interface saved in your user profile.
People should just be able to create their RDP shortcuts as normal and go on with their day by simply ignoring the Microsoft store like most enterprise users have been trying to do all along.
Though I could be wrong, I don’t have a windows computer around me to try it on at the moment. I moved my machines at home to different flavors of Linux when I didn’t want to figure out comparability work around for 11
- Comment on Was probably just measuring pasta 4 days ago:
As a straight male I was like huh, bet they don’t have to worry about accidently gagging someone. Then I thought, hmm I bet I could do that without it gagging me, then I said… Hm, maybe I should question if I shouldve jumped straight to saying straight male.
It’s like they always say when you give birthday blowjobs, it isn’t gay if it’s their birthday.
- Comment on Do the sub-$150 night vision binoculars actually work? 1 week ago:
Honestly I don’t know what Id ever use them for. A guy set up a corn field/deer hunting spot on a spot behind my partners property with motion cameras and such. He had a drone that either he rigged up or bought with an IR camera on it. Dude would fly over the area and check how many deer and where they were before going hunting I guess. It’s not even “fair.”. You can spot the deer easily and they have no idea you were ever there. I remember seeing several photos/videos where he was tracking them. At a certain point you have to feel like it’s just overkill. Although if he was using as much of the meat as he could I guess it’s still better than what we do to cows and such

I regret that I didn’t end up checking out a pair when I was working a contract for L3Harris. They had rooms set up throughout the Tempe location where they tested them on site. The clean rooms for creating them were all in site too. But those things were expensive from what I saw. Tried to look what their price range was online now and they are near 50k. tnvc.com/shop/l3harris-gpnvg-ruggedized-bridge/?s…
- Comment on Love this 1 week ago:
I think it’s all about perspective. Say the Patty Cake one. A 30 year old doesn’t seem “cool” doing it according to the chart. But a 30 year old who sits down with a 5 year old and does it… That kid thinks they are pretty cool.

While we used to call Panama City LA, for lower Alabama I’d guess this is from Kentucky or Alabama. He’s wearing sleeves and sleeves are forbidden on men in the Panhandle
- Comment on Farming beans be like 2 weeks ago:
That would be one way. Depends on how accurate you need. Could also wrap a piece of paper around your bean can, cut it to that length. Now you can mark 360 equal distant marks down the side, and rewrap around your bean can and trace it onto whatever object you want to make your protractor. But f that, 360 marks is to many, so fold the paper in 4, ignore the 3 sides and just do one, making just 90 degrees and you can duplicate it if you need after by rotating the can… then say f that and realize 5 degree marks are more than enough, so make 18 marks, or 9 marks if 10 degrees is accurate enough for your estimates.
There are a number of ways to do it, but being that beans are in the meme, bean can method is what I’d run with for fun
- Comment on Farming beans be like 2 weeks ago:
I watched the new episode of “The Last of Us” yesterday, and they were praising one of the characters for being so smart and triangulating locations supposedly. She said she could do it faster if she had a protractor and all I could think was why wouldn’t she just make one if she actually needed it. She’s sitting there with paper and a pen.

The fact that the coin isn’t flipped is all I see. If you flip a coin left/right it will be inverted. So that coin is in fact a lie
- Comment on Anyone? 2 weeks ago:
How exactly does the “root” work. I was wheeling a ticket podium with other items in my hands back in 2006, the podium slipped and landed on my left big toe. When I took my shoe/sock off I found the back part of my toe nail was square (and had been popped up through the skin like the hood of a Corvette. I dumbly(?) tore the rest of it off and proceeded to be stupid and put my sock back on and finished my shift. Somehow the nail grew back but the part that had tissue damage where I tore it off in the front I guess never healed right and so the nail would have to grow ‘over’ the wound and would be really thick there. If the squared off back part isn’t the root, what is?

- Comment on The clueless people are out there among us 2 weeks ago:
In the U.S. I have to use USB-A, USB-C, Lightning, cigarette lighter adapter, 110 plug without ground, 110 with ground, 220 - 3 types of connectors on those just for dryers, adapters still for mini USB, micro USB, and that’s all before we start to get obscure. Universal lightbulb plugs? Nah everyone had to fuck that up as well.

Shits good though. Got it for free one time and I thought to myself, shit I should always buy this stuff. And never once have I bought it since because I saw the price tags

- Comment on Warner Bros. Cancels Planned ‘Hogwarts Legacy’ Game Expansion 1 month ago:
So are you going to make a bad faith argument that Microsoft, Google, Apple, Sony, Nintendo, Steam or who is a good company to buy platforms or games from? Note, most games brought to Linux happen because much of it was funded off selling off those platforms as well. So in todays world if you want Linux games, you have to hope people keep buying them on those major platforms.
Or are you just going to take the low road of describing yourself as better than everyone else because you only play niche unprofitable games that most people will never hear of and therefor most of society who doesnt have large amounts of time to invest in games likely won’t ever see.
- Comment on Rocky rock rocking 1 month ago:
My first thought was it being an incorrect first line and my brain went “and I’m getting stoned.”
“She got a rock And I’m gettin’ stoned”
But then had that very programmed feeling of you shouldn’t say that because you aren’t getting stoned and you don’t want people to think of you as getting up and getting stoned on a Saturday morning. Talk about being programmed to fear what other people think.
Anyways Eric Church has a couple songs I liked

Good luck out there, be kind and no matter what anyone else thinks I’m sure you’ll look good anywhere you go. Insert kindness is beautiful quote here haha
- Comment on What exercises should i do at the gym to correct winged scapula and rounded shoulders? 1 month ago:
Dumbledurp put a site above that lists exercises for various areas. Deltoids was one he mentioned for the back and deadlifts actually fell into that category. I know fuck all about what is healthy or not for the gym, but that site does appear to have information on there that could help point you in the right direction and then do some fact checking to make sure.
- Comment on I present my girlfriend's daughter. 1 month ago:
I do very often on Lemmy as well because I used to have trouble with the app I use (works great now) but when it first came out accidentally clicking the wrong button would sometimes crash it or knock me back to page before or my home feed. Then I’d realize I lost 2 paragraphs of text I typed and I’d say well fuck if it’s long enough that you don’t want to find that exact comment again to respond to and type it over, it probably wasn’t worth typing anyways. (Which unfortunately decreases interactions for users on the site, which ultimately hurts how many active users we end up with.).
Now I’m just making excuses for myself being feisty with my keyboard.
