Yeah, when you put the dimensions implication in it it starts making a bit more sense.
- Comment on wat 3 days ago:
Yeah, but in this case is the universe just the dots on the surface of the balloon or is it the whole balloon with its entire volume? Intuitively I think it’s the latter (although there’s probably no “hard” edge that’s bounding the ends of the universe like the rubber of the balloon), and if that’s true, you could measure the speed of one wall getting away from the centre or the speed of two opposite walls getting away from each other.
I could be wrong of course, I’d be happy if someone points out what I might be missing.

The “zero sugar” usually means they replace the sugar with something worse (that’s often also a laxative).

I’m a software developer. For me, “alpha” means somethings that’s still buggy, unfinished and unfit for wide availability.
- Comment on 60% of PC gamers have no plans to build a new PC in the next two years — AI pricing crunch on RAM and other components paralyze enthusiast market 1 week ago:
I regret not buying a new CPU+MB+RAM half a year ago. I told myself that what I have is good enough for another year or two. I wanted to sell just so that it doesn’t become so devalued that it’s not worth it to sell, or so that it doesn’t just fail on me like 3-4 year old hardware sometimes does.
I can afford new things, but I don’t want to support the market in its current state. Just some months ago a 64 gig DDR5 kit used to cost maybe 200 EUR, and for less than 500 I could even get 96; now both are about triple these numbers respectively, so hard pass on this for now. I’m going to spend on things that are still reasonably priced (e.g. I’m in for a new PSU and case).
- Comment on It's unacceptable that people like Jeff Bezos exist. 3 weeks ago:
I’m happy that I have only contributed very, very little to that - years ago (maybe 10+) I bought a year’s subscription for their cloud drive - which at the time was I think very good value, because it allowed unlimited photos (including raw files). Needless to say they axed that plan shortly after. Other than that I don’t think I’ve ever bought a physical item from there and I hope this stays that way.

- Comment on Valve Uploads Steam Controller Unboxing Video, Launch Imminent 5 weeks ago:
No, I meant games where you can drive, but can use the mouse at the same time for other things like shooting - as opposed to games where you just drive (and in that case I’d personally prefer the arrows over WASD).
Steering with a mouse is obviously terrible and I’d prefer any other method over that. Aiming and shooting with a controller is not ideal and I’d prefer mouse for that - but I’m still interested in trying a controller for third person action games where there might be some shooting, but not as a major part of the game.
- Comment on Valve Uploads Steam Controller Unboxing Video, Launch Imminent 5 weeks ago:
I’m the type of guy who expects driving to be done with the arrow keys (at least for a game that’s not a full blown driving simulator or driving centric), but that would imply the game not requiring you to use the mouse at the same time. But then, depending on the game, replacing a mouse with a controller could be a downgrade in a certain regard.
In the end I’m just curious. I’ll try, if it doesn’t work for me, I’ll sell it, and that’s it.
- Comment on Valve Uploads Steam Controller Unboxing Video, Launch Imminent 5 weeks ago:
Haven’t used a controller on a PC, but would be interested in trying this one if it’s not ridiculously expensive. I’m predicting a hundred-ish EUR, and if it’s around that, I’d give it a go.

Bit depressing to think that there are people having their lives (and often the lives of those around them) ruined by gambling… Even more depressing is the fact that there are companies freely exploiting the previous fact. What a time to be alive…

Bulgarian here, same here. 24 hour removes the ambiguity in written form without the need for a suffix, 12 hour is shorter in speech and 99% of the time it doesn’t need specifying because the AM/PM is evident from the context.

In a better world this would be caught by analytics and videos like that would be penalised - like it should happen for web search results. In reality we’re far from that unfortunately…
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
I’m a frequent user of that feature - especially for cases when the first thing I see from a channel is a clickbait thumbnail with a “shocked” face on it. I understand that it’s a working tactic for some channels, but unless I know the channel and can assume the video would be good despite the clickbait, I’m not going for it. It’s a trend that needs to die.

I have to draw a line somewhere. Big corporations? Yeah, those are a no go - I either avoid them altogether or try to cut off/cover the logos if that doesn’t damage the item. Bands, independent artists and others I might be directly in touch with - those I’m actually happy to support and I’m more than willing to pay full price.
