- Comment on Countries/Cities without Walmart's/Giant super centers 1 day ago:
And having visitited one of those shops when they were around, I’d say their failure was fully deserved.
- Comment on Looking for games to watch Let's Plays of: Recommend me something! 1 day ago:
I’m currently watching videos of “The Last Caretaker”. Still in development / public beta, but nicely done.
- Comment on Countries/Cities without Walmart's/Giant super centers 2 days ago:
Walmart tried to get a foothold in Germany, and lost out against about every other supermarket chain here.
- Comment on I just learned 37% of Americans fear vaccinating their dog will cause the dog to develop autism. 😐 3 days ago:
That is part of the problem, yes.
- Comment on I browse. 3 days ago:
Easy explanation here: a not smart person and a dumb tattoo.
- Comment on If WW3 breaks out, who is going to be on which side? 3 days ago:
We’ll all be on the losing side, that’s for sure.
- Comment on UFO 3 days ago:
I remember giving a friend a model of an UFO for his model railroad. All lighting up, with a lighted acrylic cylinder as a “ray” below it. A cow was also included in the set.
- Comment on I just learned 37% of Americans fear vaccinating their dog will cause the dog to develop autism. 😐 3 days ago:
People that dumb should have neither dogs nor kids.
- Comment on Reddit is an AI chatbot and 5 mins games app now 4 days ago:
Is the bot as ignorant about Reddit contents like the search engine was?
- Comment on Is gold investing a scam? 4 days ago:
In a societal collapse, it will be rather worthless, yes. But in an economic collapse, it probably retains more value than paper money or stock options. Property, of course, is premium. If you can uphold claims to it…
- Comment on Is gold investing a scam? 4 days ago:
If you invest in gold that is not physically in your posession, then yes.
If society breaks down, who is going to honor that piece of paper that claims you own gold in some banks vault? You don’t even know where that gold actually is…
- Comment on Trump wants the NFL to change its name so that soccer is the only sport called football: ‘We have to come up with another name for the NFL stuff’ 1 week ago:
He knows the NFL has loads of money, and asks them for fat bribes with this stunt.
- Comment on Trump appears to be sleepy during the last cabinet meeting 1 week ago:
As long as he’s asleep he cannot post even more ridiculous nonsense.
- Comment on It turns out Saudi Arabia will own 93.4 percent of EA if the buyout goes through, which is effectively all of it 1 week ago:
Not a loss for me. I liked them when they were still good, on C64 and Amiga. But now? Good riddance. May the sheiks have fun with it.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
So Steam is still doing business in Russia? I actually thought they were better than that.
- Comment on Bring bathroom doors back to hotels 2 weeks ago:
Luckily, our laws demands bathroom doors. Which was a pain in the … for my coworker. New built house, everything was ready to move in, but the contractor f-ed up the bathroom door, and they had to wait with their move until that was fixed.
- Comment on It improves the morale of the future worker. 2 weeks ago:
Only in America…
- Comment on Scientific Exposure 2 weeks ago:
What scientific publishing really needs is a cost-free publishing system that is run by the universities, and where the universities publish all their papers in.
- Comment on Assuming humanity last another few hundred years; How many human languages do you think are gonna be left in 100 years? In 200 years? 2 weeks ago:
In comparison to the French, the Germans are a rather malleable bunch. At least then you ask something in English you get an answer instead of a silent death stare.
- Comment on Assuming humanity last another few hundred years; How many human languages do you think are gonna be left in 100 years? In 200 years? 2 weeks ago:
100 years: A lot of smaller languages will only be available from recordings. Less than a hundred language being still in use.
200 years: Maybe a dozen still being spoken: English, Chinese, Hindu, Spanish, French (they stick to their own language like crazy, at the total expense of communication with anyone around), and a handful of others. Everything else will be archived.
- Comment on They took forever too 2 weeks ago:
Oh, memories. A CD-R was 25 quid, burn speed was “single”, and the success rate was about 50%.
And the equipment costs had four digits.
- Comment on Another angle of this modern art installation 2 weeks ago:
That is what, six years old?
- Comment on Downloading Blue Brixx manuals requires an account 2 weeks ago:
Leave it alive, you can download any of their instructions from there.
As a long-term AFOL, it pains me to say, but BlueBricks has surpassed LEGO by far in price (not a miracle!) and design, and they are rather close in quality - mainly because Billund seems to be rather neglecting on the quality front in recent years.
- Comment on In a near distant future 2 weeks ago:
Better not. You know what all saints have in common? They are dead.
- Comment on Standardization rule 2 weeks ago:
Especially as some laws in some countries refer to such standards. This should be illegal, or at least the country should see to get a licence for it’s citizens.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Always compare value and price.
More often than not, AA games seem to come with a AAA price tag.
- Comment on When a website tells you that you broke a rule, but doesn't tell you what the rule is. 2 weeks ago:
Ever tried to apply for a visa waiver for the UK (ETA Electronic Travel Authorization)? They have the most fucked up app for that. You have to take a selfie, and it tells you “No, bad, try again”. And then you have to click through several pages of what to do and not to do again (all had been painfully followed in every attempt).
And why any of the dozen+ pictures was bad was the apps well kept secret. Finally, one had been accepted, without any discernible difference to the previous attempts.
- Comment on I work long hour and make little money 2 weeks ago:
And the added pain to work the night shift in order to react timely.
- Comment on PetSmart won't let you leave a review if you have adblockers on 2 weeks ago:
The fun part: The delays and interruptions are still way shorter and less annoying that being forcefed two minutes of unskippable ads for some irrelevant junk or service.
- Comment on Someone should put the 63 actual humans who are still MAGA on suicide watch after this past several days. 2 weeks ago:
When do we get to the part where he shoots himself in the bunker?
Sadly, Trump is lacking the guts for this move.
