- Comment on They eliminated cashiers and keep the profits. NY Democrats are fighting back. 15 hours ago:
I’m very much in favor of this. They place the burden of work on the customers, so they should compensate them.
- Comment on No worries, companies of 3d printers will find out how to scam their customers soon too 20 hours ago:
Well, I’ve just learned that HP does 3D printers, too, so it can’t be that far ahead.
- Comment on Today is my 25th birthday 20 hours ago:
I’d love to be 25 again. Wanna swap?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 day ago:
PETA is not known to make rational decisions. Especially with those kinds of stunts.
- Comment on Do non-English speakers learn to code in English, or in their native language? 1 day ago:
About every programming language is based on English. Names for functions, objects, variables are based on personal, project, or company preferences. In reality you’ll find these only in two languages as far as I’ve seen in the last decades: either English or Chinese. I’ve seen German and, sadly, French, but they are outliers.

You get ads? Why?
- Comment on This post telling tourists which areas to avoid in New York 2 days ago:
Better advice for tourists: Avoid the USA.
- Comment on the Home Alone house then and now 2 days ago:
The first one is interesting, as it shows that they have vastly extended the house to the rear. The door under the stairs led to a half-bath (toilet and sink), and that was the buildings’ end.
If you ask me how I know that: I got the original house plans from the net and plan to - one day - build a proper LEGO model of it. Not the shrunken one they offer as a set, but built to scale from those plans, with the driveway, the garage, the garden with the tree and tree house.
- Comment on who came up with this plot? 5 days ago:
Of course, it is classified as “Romance”…
- Comment on Nigel Farage calls for Zack Polanski to be arrested over 'guillotine' Instagram post 6 days ago:
Oh, he does not like free speech?
- Comment on NYT hiding information regarding a health related food recall behind a paywall 6 days ago:
Well, one of the key problems is still shown: that farm voluntarily recalls the eggs. If the US still had relevant health and safety agencies, this should have been verified, and the culprit made to recall the eggs. But it looks like the offical powers are way too slow to protect the citizens.
- Comment on Why is AOC a big deal? She just speaks common sense and calls out absurdity. Have we really gone that far off the rails where we don't do it ourselves? 6 days ago:
Any politician that actually speaks common sense is a big deal.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Seeing someone using such a blacklist makes it rather clear who the crazy in this story is.
- Comment on Work harder, afford less? 1 week ago:
But thanks to the one percent vacuuming up all productivity as their wealth, this is no longer the case. What do the poor need money for?
- Comment on How old is the "world's oldest profession"? 1 week ago:
There have even been observations of transactional sex in the animal kingdom. Primarily among primates and birds.
So it may actually predate humanity.
- Comment on Why do older files tend to have file extensions in all caps? 1 week ago:
Because DOS/early Windows had a filesystem that had very limited filenames. You had eight characters for the actual filename and three for the file extension. They were stored and displayed in all caps, but matching was always case insensitive.
That explains both the upper case and the three character extension limit.
- Comment on I'll take it to all 2 place it goes! 1 week ago:
No, the train just skipped a station, and our train, going in the same direction, was coming in almost on time a few minutes later.
It was a bit crowded, though, and of course they lost their seat reservations.
- Comment on I'll take it to all 2 place it goes! 1 week ago:
I was early to the train station with my coworker. We met a lot of people still waiting for the train before ours on the same platform. Suddenly, that other train was dropped from the display and replaced by our train. Seconds later, their train simply rushed through on a different track.
- Comment on I'll take it to all 2 place it goes! 1 week ago:
No, that the train being only seconds late is a Japanese thing. In Europe we have anything between “No Train Today” to “Train passed through the station without stopping”
- Comment on Why is gun violence lower in Switzerland than in the US? 2 weeks ago:
Of course you can buy your own ammunition. It is not some kind of nonstandard stuff. But you are not allowed to use it for private reasons like hunting or whatever. And yes, you can take it to approved practice. No shooting beer cans in a friends back yard.
- Comment on Why is gun violence lower in Switzerland than in the US? 2 weeks ago:
In a way, yes.
- Comment on Worm logic 2 weeks ago:
Wow. If stupidity was painful, this guy would scream at the top of his lungs.
- Comment on Why is gun violence lower in Switzerland than in the US? 2 weeks ago:
Nope. The gun is government property, stored alongside uniform and other things at every reservists home. In case of an attack, they will assemble at predetermined locations and supplied with ammo. Same with training. And woe to you if you use the gun for private purposes.
- Comment on Why is gun violence lower in Switzerland than in the US? 2 weeks ago:
Don’t underestimate those guys. They are highly motivated and trained, and excellent at crowd control.
- Comment on What does "Woke" mean to you? 2 weeks ago:
It’s a bogus term invented by the right-winger conservatives as a general label for everything they can’t comprehend with their tiny brains.
- Comment on Weapons for defense only 2 weeks ago:
Look at the Swiss. They have set up tank barriers and heavily fortified artillery all over the country. The Swiss Alps are basically one big fortress. All across the place you can find buildings looking like houses at first sight, but which turn out to be heavily armored artillery positions, especially at landscape gaps near the border. You can’t cross with tanks because of several rows of concrete teeth hiding in the vegetation, and the only road passing through runs through at least three or four targeting areas.
- Comment on Is it theoretically possible to construct a self reproducing mechanical device? 2 weeks ago:
A so called “Gray Goo” scenario has been proven unlikely because of energy constraints.
- Comment on Why is gun violence lower in Switzerland than in the US? 2 weeks ago:
The swiss only store those guns, and they don’t have the ammo for it.
- Comment on Why is gun violence lower in Switzerland than in the US? 2 weeks ago:
Because nearly all of those arms are under lock and key. They don’t exist for fun shooting. They are federal property which is stored in the homes of reservists in case they are called in. Like they have their uniform and other items for their countries defence at home for this event. And people don’t have the ammunition for it, which would be supplied at the assembly locations when push comes to shove.

I knew it. I played it rather extensively.
