But it’s an Apple keyboard.

It’s the painting and detailing that can be quite expensive and time consuming. You obviously don’t have to paint your minis, but that’s the entire point for a lot of people.

Sorry Boss, can’t come in. The half-eaten apple lodged into my exoskeleton has become infected.

Those were all human names first. Places named after people, not the other way around.

Killer pastry though.
- Comment on Prices are out of control 3 weeks ago:
Good butter straight from a dairy farm is super dangerous though. You can suddenly find yourself standing in your kitchen, no memory of the last 45 minutes, the fridge door open, a greasy knife in your hand, breadcrumbs all over the floor, and half the butter gone. Gotta be careful with that stuff.
- Comment on Resistance is futile 3 weeks ago:
Connecting to the network does not have to mean connecting to the internet. Basically every consumer grade router out there is capable of restricting a device to the local network only. It could reach other devices on the network and the other devices would be able to reach it, but it would still be cut off from the internet.
- Comment on Pearson complaining about using Linux to access my course material 4 weeks ago:
Widewine? Maybe they have some content that requires L1, which still doesn’t work on Linux because of totally legitimate technical reasons that are absolutely not at all utter horseshit.

Is that the guy who was stabbed in the anus by a toilet child climbing up the poop chute?

So that the toddler can enter the workforce and start pulling itself up by the bootstraps as soon as possible. The lithium mines need more bodies.
- Comment on Polish leader offers actor Jesse Eisenberg military training to 'land the new James Bond role' 2 months ago:
No thank you. No need to transform a classic character and franchise into something they notably are not. Being cool and charismatic and smooth and whatnot, in other words essentially the polar opposite of the average Jesse Eisenberg character, is part of the core identity of the character itself. Change that and you don’t have Bond anymore. It’s a whole different character that shares the name for marketing purposes.
Nobody’s stopping nobody from writing their own movie with their own original character who happens to be a weird neurotic psychopathic nerdy secret agent, though. No need to hijack a cinema classic for that.
- Comment on New Report Shows Working-Class Americans Live 7 Years Fewer Than Rich 2 months ago:
JFC this thread is bizarre. Just look this shit up, it’s not that hard. In fact here: duckduckgo.com/?q=less+vs+fewer&t=ffab&ia=web
You will see that all of those results will agree that less is almost always correct when talking about time, despite the unit. And the very rare cases where fewer is correct do not cover OP’s title.
You will also see that less is practically always correct for money. It is the single most notable exception to the countable vs uncountable rule that is mentioned very often.
- Comment on Oops, something went wrong! 2 months ago:
The why is easy. As others said, the vast majority of error messages are entirely useless for you, the user, because there’s not a single thing you can possibly do to address it. What are you gonna do about a database connection issue, or bad cache, or broken Javascript? Nothing. So don’t worry about it. Besides people are less panicky when they see an oops rather than a stack trace or a cryptic error message.
And don’t worry, people who know how to write up useful support tickets and bug reports know how to do it even when all they can see is an “oops”. Builtin browser dev tools will have information they can use to help the devs.
- Comment on New Report Shows Working-Class Americans Live 7 Years Fewer Than Rich 2 months ago:
It’s not. You can count years, but years are a unit of time and you can’t count time. Same thing with weight or distance or volume or a bunch of other things.
It’s not a super strict rule anyway. Money is very much countable but it’s “less”.
- Comment on New Report Shows Working-Class Americans Live 7 Years Fewer Than Rich 2 months ago:
Wow. It’s rare to see someone incorrectly use fewer instead of less.

Could be fun.
Long ago, the 118 nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Ytterbium Nation attacked.
- Comment on Spotify Premium "Ad Free" plan 3 months ago:
Of course not. You need other software to rip your music from physical media, or potentially multiple other software to search and download them. You’ll need additional software to host everything over the internet. You’ll probably want a computer to act as a server. You’ll very likely need a private VPN to be able to access it over the network. You’ll need some networking knowledge to set everything up. Hope you’re familiar with docker. And afterwards you’ll have to manage everything yourself once they are up.
Even if you don’t search for new music very often it’s a lot of work. If you care about being able to discover new music then it’s pretty bad. There’s a reason music streaming exploded in popularity so quickly. This shit is not easy or convenient to self-host. At all.
- Comment on PSN Is Still Down After 14 Hours And No One Knows Why 3 months ago:
Nobody’s gonna dispute the necessity of some sort of server somewhere in the mix. But does it need to be something like PSN? A central 3rd party service that most games only use because they’re forced to?
- Comment on I will take no arguments 3 months ago:
Wish granted. Now everything comes with those cheap shitty bubble-like buttons that are incomprehensibly stiff and only work if you press at just the right angle with just the right amount of force, and there’s a 50% chance they register twice.

Complete with a scene where anon jerks it to her while she lays unconscious in the hospital bed, and then he cries about it for 17 minutes.
- Comment on what was the last game you played in 2024? 4 months ago:
Stellaris. As a hyper-aggressive, warmongering, Rome-obsessed species of lovebirds. All the organic aliens have been turned into GMO livestock and all the machine aliens have been forced into slavery. I bomb the planets into oblivion not because I need to, but because I imagine my pretty birds would enjoy doing it.
- Comment on We need to go back! Back to the terminal! 4 months ago:
Android got people on Linux the same way routers got people on BSD.
And besides the mobile environment should definitely NOT be used as an example for the desktop space. It’s a disgusting mess of strict vendor controls and proprietary crap trying to put heavy limits on what the user can or cannot do with their hardware. Absolutely don’t want that for my PC. I already have a sneaking suspicion that that’s where we’re headed with ARM on desktop, which is a scary thought.

Yeah exactly. So why make that comment?
- Comment on Did Apple kill iTunes for windows? 4 months ago:
The iPhone is stopping them from doing all that, which you’d know if you’d ever used one. The phone’s filesystem does not appear to the pc as a mountable external volume for you to copy shit in and out of it.
