- Comment on A man was indicted for posing as a U.S. veteran and defrauding the VA of $63K over 27 Years for routine medical care 9 hours ago:
Infuriating is that he scammed the insurance or that routine medical care costs ~$2500/year, or both?
- Comment on The good old days 4 days ago:
In my country a woman suspected of murder did a cartwheel while waiting to be interrogated and the police basically took that as an admission of guilt
- Comment on Number of trackers and cookies I had to go thru after installing a currency converter app 5 days ago:
plus is a calculator too, i love it
- Comment on Number of trackers and cookies I had to go thru after installing a currency converter app 5 days ago:
ridiculous prices too, i will never subscribe for $4.99/week for a currency converter

- Comment on So Austistici/Inventati just got designated as a "global terrorist organisation" by the Trump administration, what do I do now? 6 days ago:
It’s really BS how they’re considered a “terrorist group” while real terrorist groups like the IDF continue killing innocent people
- Comment on You can't let the ghosts in 1 week ago:
That’s my main gripe with the state of politics today. They’re so grossly incompetent that it’s not possible to dismiss extremely stupid quotes like this
- Comment on Brilliant‼️ 1 week ago:
Facebook algorithm pretending that it’s not able to read drunk from this “censorship” ╮(. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)╭
- Comment on I'll spelunk your 6 if you spelunk my 9 1 week ago:
Did they manage to get unstuck in some way?
- Comment on this is so dark, Black Mirror couldn’t have imagined it 2 weeks ago:
Why would you go through the hassle of setting Cron when you can ask an LLM running on a server in another continent every minute: “now it’s [time]. If it’s [time_required], then do this”
- Comment on Saw this at the store this morning, took a double take 3 weeks ago:
It is a chatgpt poster
- Comment on Be a punk rocker 3 weeks ago:
I didn’t see the movie, but if someone is dropped from hundreds of meters, then catched before he hits the ground, the instant deceleration has the same effect of hitting the ground, no?
- Comment on Bloodbath Ahead For EA As It Looks To Cut $700 Million In Annual Costs Under Saudi Arabia 4 weeks ago:
They paid 53 bil for something that has only 300 mil /year in profits?
A 200 year ROI (interest on the 20 bil loan for the leveraged buyout that ea itself will need to pay) doesn’t seems too bad
- Comment on Amazon thought it would be a good idea to not include subtitles in a film made entirely with sign language. 4 weeks ago:
I was watching rental family (an american guy moves to japan to be an actor and speaks a very little japanese) and somehow they decided to ignore all the parts in japanese and from the subtitles there was only the english parts. In the beginning i was like "ok, it’s to let the audience know that the protagonist does not understand what they’re shouting to him - then finally i had to pirate a sub from opensubtitles to understand was going on as the dialogues were 95% in japanese
- Comment on Become Human 4 weeks ago:
I saw Facebook messenger on my friend phone has a dedicated tab on sex bots. There’s one pretending to be a brunette, one to be a redhead, one to be Desi, also Asian, all fetishes are covered
I’m going to install it on a burner phone to see if it’s normal or it was tailored to his usage
- Comment on Become Human 4 weeks ago:
Tbh I was expecting Facebook to add a feature like that in messenger (subscribe to meta premium to train a custom chatbot) instead they only waste their LLM in lousy sex bots that could only fool desperate people
- Comment on I just released my first fully free Android game: Wandering Alchemist (GPS walking game) 4 weeks ago:
Wow that automatic installer check is really shitty from Google, I wonder why I never saw outrage about that, it will close access to most apps in degoogled operating systems
- Comment on 10 miles to escape a bill 5 weeks ago:
Why leaving the ad for the scam market instead of censoring it?
- Comment on PSBLACKOUT (boycott of PlayStation) 5 weeks ago:
I’m doing a #psblackout since I was born but it didn’t change anything
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
I don’t like the genre but from the trailer it seems very interesting, good job 👍🏻
- Comment on I built a free game where you try to beat a couch at timing the market. Over 80k plays later, the couch usually wins. 5 weeks ago:
Wtf it’s harder than I imagined
- Comment on I think NAMBLA or some other similar org might buy them... 5 weeks ago:
-
It’s raised and on some black letters you can see there are lines on the surface with a different light reflection like the nozzle does on TPU.
-
it’s printed on colors that are typically available on TPU (it’s not like pla that comes in every conceivable color)
-
It has a weird drop shape when closed, like if it was designed to be printed flat
-
He says “weeks to make them” when showing a dozen. With a week of production in pad printing you can do millions of units.
-
With pad printing he could have used the traditional round rubber bands
-
- Comment on I think NAMBLA or some other similar org might buy them... 5 weeks ago:
If it’s hundreds of bracelets then a 3d printer is not the right technique for this. With pad printing those would have costed 1/10th less in materials (the cheapest rubber bands from Alibaba) and be done in 1/100th of the time (5 seconds for each one instead of 1 or 2 hours each)

Yay!! I’m in the list and I even have a regex for it 🤗🎉💯

I’m 100% sure they mean you can purchase your games again at full price
- Comment on I bought a schuko plug adapter. They didn't read specs or even tried it: the diameter of the hole is too small! 1 month ago:
The adapter has the earth, is the middle pin and also has the side contacts that would touch the earth on the side of the schuko (here just for aesthetics because the schuko pins can’t fit)

Yes basically every European country and Swiss has its own plug standard
- Comment on I bought a schuko plug adapter. They didn't read specs or even tried it: the diameter of the hole is too small! 1 month ago:
Yes but the electrical code allows this kind of converter if there’s a label like “1500W max” because most manufacturers are lazy and don’t ship a cable for the Italian market, they give the cable for the German market. So you have stuff like:
- Computer cables
- Laptop chargers
- Televisions
- Modern fridges
That consume like 2-3 A at max but for the manufacturer it was cheaper to ship the German 16A plug and fuck with all the Italians that have the houses with 10A receptacles
