They didn’t even understand the source material.
Like, when he pulls the holy hand grenade… There are VERY SPECIFIC instructions on how to use that thing. Doesn’t follow them.
Just superficial references with no comprehension of the source
- Comment on Are "Lifetime" Cloud Storage Plans scams? 5 weeks ago:
You can set up a “personal cloud” on a machine in your house that you can use as a “cloud” from anywhere. There are a lot of free software options to achieve such a thing.
“Nextcloud” it a pretty broad way to do that. You can run it from an always-on desktop.
There are a ton of nerds (myself included) who do this kinda thing, and we have our nerd communities on Lemmy and elsewhere. The general term is “self hosted”.
- Comment on We're in the endgame now 1 month ago:
JD is drawing false equivalence, to lead to the conclusion that law doesn’t matter.
Does a judge plan a military operation? No. But they can establish if it is legal.
That’s their whole job, to establish if actions violate the law. If they violate the law, they can order them to stop.
Judges don’t write the law. You don’t like the judge’s ruling? Change the law. Judges don’t write the laws, they just interpret the ones that exist.
JD is arguing that judges (and by extension, the law, and by extension the fundamental concept of the rule of law) don’t apply to him and Trump. It’s literally an argument for monarchy.

- Comment on Vibes based cooking 2 months ago:
Critical is that HOW you learn this is trial and error.
Most people can imagine the result of combining two images, say a frog riding a turtle. We can imagine what a handful of wet spaghetti might sound like being dropped onto the hood of a car. We can imagine what a fluffy bunny that’s been rolling in sand might feel like.
But that isn’t just because those senses are somehow intrinsically better for synthesis and prediction. We just got a ton more practice with them. As kids we got to draw, we got to play with toys, we touched everything, we bashed all kinds of stuff together.
But most of us, we just got the food prepared for us with no awareness of the properties of the constituent ingredients.
You gotta act like a toddler in the kitchen to grow that part of your brain.
- Comment on Teen says she was forced to fly around the world with a stranger's toddler on her lap 2 months ago:
If you read the article, the flight was overbooked and the teen was bumped from the flight.
The teen was extremely uncomfortable staying the night in the middle east, she was concerned her clothes (acceptable by Western standards) would put her as a target. She was already getting creeped on at the airport.
The airline said that since there were no unoccupied seats, but there was a seat for the toddler, she could double-up on that seat.
The airline massively fucked up, but IMO the parents did that girl a solid by even agreeing to it at all.
- Comment on As the Canada "tax holiday" starts, Walmart increased the price of an item by the amount I would have saved 3 months ago:
Might be betraying my age here, but do you remember when GST was 7%? EXACTLY the same thing happened.
GST breaks strictly pad the revenues of business AT THE COST of funds to the public purse. Does a fat fucking zero to the wallets of consumers.
- Comment on "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" Reboot In Works 3 months ago:
Considering the author, I think the one update I want to see Desmond Llewelyn (deepfake unfortunately) reveal Chitty Chitty Bang Bang with it’s features, and have Judi Dench explain why it needs to be brought back in one piece (with clear resignation of the knowledge that it won’t happen)

- Comment on At your service 3 months ago:
As someone with a kid… I agree 100% w/ this. It’s like when old people say “youth is wasted on the young”
Don’t you dare waste your freedom! Don’t answer your (relative) lack of responsibility with arbitrary and self imposed limits. Call in sick and fuck off to the mountains on a Wednesday and spark a J. Just because I can’t doesn’t mean I don’t desperately want that for you.

The energy is in the form of complex but stable intramolecular bonds
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
Banners body has a store of extremely high energy particles. When he transforms, they are converted to much lower energy particles and the energy is converted to mass (e=mc^2). When the hulk goes back to banner, is the same process in reverse: mass is converted to much more highly energetic particles.

- Comment on Wait, my body's own heat is enough? Always has been. 3 months ago:
I live in Canada and tbh I’m with the Chad on this.
Not saying “turn off your furnace” but energy use (and cost) balance ons exponentially based on how hot you have your thermostat set at. Lower your thermostat to the point where wearing a sweater indoors is enough and save money.
And I’d be happy to subsidize the first X GJ/mo to help people keep themselves from freezing, but if people want their apartment to be the tropics that’s gotta be on their dime.
Same with electricity. I’ll subsidize keeping your lights on but I’m not paying you to mine crypto.
- Comment on Wait, my body's own heat is enough? Always has been. 3 months ago:
Same here.
But there is middle-ground here. My wife came from a very temperate country. She wants the thermostat set at like, 26.
I’d be happy to have it at 17 and wear sleeves indoors. 9 degrees thermostat difference makes a hell of a dent in the utility bill.

I’m still missing something here. For it to be useful, I’d imagine that it would need to inform decisions, and do so where existing senses would fail.
At least in my environment, if I can smell rain, I could also just as easily use my eyes to see the cumulonimbus clouds and say “rain, due east”.
In the savanna are there scenarios where the only awareness of rain would be smelling it? Can you derive directionality at 5 parts per trillion? Does it matter?
- Comment on If Open Source is so great... 4 months ago:
I don’t see the two environments as necessarily being at odds in any way.
If implementing feature X is going to take a developer 10 days… It’s going to take a developer 10 days. I can say the deadline is 1 day all I want, it’s going to take 10 days.
If I want to get my Volkswagen golf down a 1/4 mile, it doesn’t matter how hard I push the gas pedal, it’s going to take as long as it takes.
In a corporate environment, if deadlines are what you’re optimizing for, you have options. You can cut scope. You can add resources. You can decrease quality. You can forgo time intensive processes designed to reduce risk. These are still all agile activities. Making deliberate decisions, and continually evaluating those decisions is agile.
Agile doesn’t mean there are no timelines or goals. It’s just that the design and implementation are routinely examined for suitability to your ultimate goals.
So I actually think agile is better suited to corporate environments because of how volatile the definition of delivered value is. Open source projects usually have a less volatile vision

Do you have any idea how many jira states our development workflow has?
I wonder how much appetite there is for project managers and scrum masters in the open source world.
- Comment on Is it really possible to tax the rich? 4 months ago:
Ok, I’m just going to go ahead and pitch an alternative and then you can weigh in on the relative merits.
In my mind, the issues aren’t the loans themselves, it’s that they’re secured by shares. Billionaires are able to realize real value from those shares without paying taxes in them.
I think if you want to use shares as collateral, you need to pay the taxes on them.
You wanna use shares to back a loan, fine, but the instant you do, all taxes on those shares are due at FMV.
