  It’s pretty well known they’re unhealthy, although sometimes this gets ignored. As a non-smoker it bugs me that these sometimes get a pass to be used indoors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ngl it gets you pretty buzzed⁩ ⁨⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Sometimes I wonder what kinds of things we’re using today that we still haven’t found are toxic, carcinogenic or harmful in other ways…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨bone⁩ ⁨⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Is he made of house or is the house made of flesh?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cheese is available⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  So cheese it is then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You need to think long term⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I know, but in my case it’s like the opposite - i.e. someone sending a mail to firstnamelastname and me (firstname.lastname) receiving it as well (or instead, I don’t know).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You need to think long term⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I had some silly ones when I was younger, but I also made one that’s <first name>.<last name>@<service>.com which I’m using to this day. The only problem is that from time to time I get emails seemingly addressed to the fella using the same address, but without the dot between the names.

  “Found my grandpa’s helmet. He must’ve been an electrician or something.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Music just isn't good anymore⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Time is a very good filter of what’s worthy and what’s not. You’re living now and you’re witnessing good stuff, but you’re also witnessing bullshit before it’s had the chance of being forgotten. If you look back 40-50-60 years, will you think of The Beatles, ABBA, Freddie Mercury, Jimi Hendrix, or will you think of someone who maybe released a couple of songs or an album and dropped out of existence? Yes, I thought so.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Damn straight!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I consider influencers as part of the advertisement industry.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨👴☝️I did that⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, I’ve heard, but you might still have a choice to fill up at one without ads, whereas with a TV like this you buy it and you’re set with ads for the time you have it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨👴☝️I did that⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I meant post purchase, i.e. fuel once it gets in your tank and the TV once you get it home, but yeah, you’re right too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨👴☝️I did that⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  One of those doesn’t come loaded with ads.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can't wait.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe start with the fact that not all words in use in English are English words.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨wat⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No offense taken. I’m not a scientist either, but I believe in the idea that anything can be taken as an explanation if it makes sense at the time, and later be taken apart, discarded and replaced with a better explanation when one comes along.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨i'm fucking devastated but there are no exception⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Mortification are pretty solid music-wise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨borger⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, but companies want you to buy new ones every year or two.

  Narrator: “They did not actually ltao”

  Mild kek

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨wat⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, when you put the dimensions implication in it it starts making a bit more sense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨wat⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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.

  Very good use of the US taxpayers’ money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We are so close⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sick of this shit⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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 ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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 ⁨Some of you are too young to know what this is⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The legacy lives on - nowadays I have to rewind my FLAC tracks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve Uploads Steam Controller Unboxing Video, Launch Imminent⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Miss me⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  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…
