  I’m finishing my parential leave, so most of my time is dedicated to being with my kid. But whenever there is time, I will be delving into Oblivion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you use your blinker in a car?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I use it 100% of the time when the rules of traffic prompts me to use it.

  Within a small single-lane housing area: I blink.

  When exiting my driveway and the road reaches a dead end 100 meters in the one direction, so it should be very obvious which way I’ll go: I blink.

  The roundabout in town which is so tiny that it looks more like an intersection, and when heading straight through it: I blink.

  It’s so much better to have a habit of blinking and making unambiguous signals than to forget it. It helps with the flow of traffic and probably lets everyone get where they need to go quicker.

  Post game of borderlands 3 is stupid in this regard. Normal enemies becomes a question whether full ammo in all weapons deal enough damage combined, given that they are all headshots.

  Antimatter doesn’t really do anything by it’s own, but if we let 1 kg react with 1 kg of matter (non-anti-matter), we get E = mc^2 with m = 2 kg. So 1.810^17 J, or 1.810^11 MJ. If we assume that 10 MJ/kg is represented by about 1 cm, the bar would have to be 1.810^10 cm or about 1.810^8 m. A standard A4 piece of paper is about 30 cm tall, so 6.0*10^8 A4 papers are needed. I.e. 600 million papers.

  So we definitely have enough paper, but it would be a very tall stack.

  This is putting confirmation bias to the extreme.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It works for anything⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The plastic mug obviously symbolizes a cheap method of gathering stuff together and distributing it around. The plastic itself symbolizes materials which hurt the environment.

  Barely anyone would go to the same extent as you to seek evidence. The target market are more than happy to see any citations at all.

  I live in rural Norway up in the mountain side. We have wind, snow, ice and rain like hell, and I have ~150 elevation to get to the main road to get anywhere.

  … I’m still considering getting a bike for all the mentioned benefits.

  Topologicall, my shirts often have more than 3 holes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the weirdest argument you’ve overheard?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was in Spain, waiting outside a tournament venue for Magic: The Gathering. Two guys were talking, presumably in Spanish. I knew no spanish, but I could tell the one guy was really excited, almost choking back a laugh while speaking quickly and loudly before he held out his hand vertically, swung it left and right like a table tennis paddle while loudly exclaiming “RAGARAGARAGARAGA”.

  The other guy was listening closely with a completely unfazed expression.

  Their conversation continued.

  At that point, I started to wonder: what were they talking about? What kind of conversation could lead to that motion and that complimentary sound to be adequate? Why was the other guy seemingly so unamused when the first guy was so excited?

  This happened probably around 10 years ago, and it bothers me to this day. I will never know for sure, of course, but I have yet to think of a single topic which could reasonably prompt that interaction.

  Can someone explain the benefits that GOP are trying to achieve with this rule? Does the censoring somehow provide an advantage to their popularity?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon experiences German humor⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  One translated from Norwegian:

  “Once upon a time… But now it’s a corridor”

  I’ll supply the original and an explanation:

  “Det var en gang… Men nå er det en korridor”

  “Det var en gang” is literally “It was a time/an instance”, and it’s the main way every fairytale starts in Norwegian. But “gang” could also mean hallway.

  That’s a great point. I have a nintendo switch, but I have more or less played through the entirety of all the games I have been interested in before my child was born. I did pick up pokemon violet, but the game was very short and had some disgusting responsiveness and aestetics which discourages me from grinding the post game.

  Maybe a handheld pc will be my next purchase. Thanks for the suggestion!

  As a father of a 8 month old baby, I have barely touched any of my gaming systems for the past year. Games need to be quickly accessible and possible to quit at any time for me to play. So mobile gaming is basically where I’m at.

  Slay The Spire works perfectly well for Android. I’ve been playing that a ton.

  Pokémon TCG Pocket is weirdly fun. Even though it’s encouraging microtransactions and subscriptions, it’s very much playable without making a single transaction. The TCG is decently interesting, though not without flaws. It’s still in a very early stage, so I’m interested to see how the game grows.

  Are you saying that the chance of getting salmonella is reduced if you instead eat alive animals?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon doesn't wash⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I watched a cooking video a few years ago about cooking a whole chicken. In the video it was said “we’re not going to wash the chicken”. I thought just the idea of washing a chicken was strange, so I checked the comments. It was a trainwreck of people being freaked out and disgusted by how she didn’t wash the chicken.

  I had to search through several forums and articles afterwards to confirm that I wasn’t insane, and that I hadn’t lived my whole life with disgusting food habits. But the topic of washing a chicken befire you cook it is a strangely divided subject.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Calculatable⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I discovered that hitting something like C, CE and 0 simultaneously for some reason worked as an instant power off for my school calculator. Do calculators have such hidden off-buttons? Because I have discovered other calculators with other combinations.
