- Comment on Honda teases reveal of two new Honda Zero EV prototypes 3 days ago:
‘Teases prototypes’? Do they think it’s 2010? Nobody cares about your EV prototypes, launch something people can buy or just resign yourself to being killed off by the wave of Chinese EVs.
As a great philosopher once said, “Shit or get off the pot.”

IIRC different species of frogs make wildly different sounds, so all of the languages might just be what type of frog lives in that country.
- Comment on [Gamers Nexus] HW News - RTX 5090 & 5080 Leaks, Valve ARM64 Experiments, Intel Arc 0% Marketshare, 4090 Price 2 months ago:
at least, not with my 1080p monitors, which I prefer over higher-res ones
Blasphemy!
4k monitors are beautiful for normal desktop usage, making text crisp and clean with smooth curves and none of that blockiness that comes from low resolution, and with modern scaling settings you can even have 4K text and 1080p graphics at the same time with the same performance as native 1080p.

Without property investors in the market, there won’t be enough stock of rental properties
People seem to have this weird idea that those houses will just be set on fire or something, instead of being bought at lower prices by people who want to live in them.

Do what you want instead off what we want? Lol, no. And if you find a registry hack or something to do it, we’ll ‘fix’ that in the next update.

Ah, the Internet. A place where the men are men, the women are men, and the children are FBI agents.
- Comment on I don't hate Body Type replacing Gender, I hate laziness 3 months ago:
My point is that gaming could abandon “A/B” in favor of something more like an actual spectrum of Height, Weight, and Gender Presentation instead of just awkwardly renaming the binary? I wouldn’t get so up in arms about gender replacing body type.
Okay, but an in-depth character creation system that lets you pick and adjust individual features is a lot more work than just manually creating two models and asking the player to pick one. Adding that means something else gets cut.
Putting in half a dozen body types and a boob slider shouldn’t be a ton of work, but devs who only offer two player models to choose from in the first place probably aren’t putting that much thought into character creation.
- Comment on Anon tries to be ethical 4 months ago:
In a business school they’re the same thing: stuff we have to put on the syllabus so it looks like we care about them.
It’s not like they actually teach those subjects, they just need to appear on the timetable. So putting them together works fine.

So after it’s done you can adjust it’s cooking time, but instead of a cook time knob that you turn they try to pretend it’s AI?
- Comment on Anon gets laid off 4 months ago:
I realise it’s a joke and the details are irrelevant, but an EV is probably going to take weeks to drain its battery just sitting on in the garage. Days if it’s running the A/C.
Moving the vehicle costs so much energy that it’s a bit shocking how long an EV battery lasts if you use it for things other than driving.
- Comment on Logitech has an idea for a “forever mouse” that requires a subscription 4 months ago:
I don’t even have the software for my mouse installed. I think she’s massively overestimating the value of mouse software updates.
She’s just trying to figure out how to make renting cheap peripherals make sense so that you can keep paying Logitech forever.

I’ve stopped giving my father advice on computers or electronics because he has never yet followed any of it.
He gets really upset that I won’t spend time researching things to give him advice to ignore, so presumably he gets something out of it but I’m not sure what.

- Comment on Nuclear power explained in 12 numbers to help you understand how it fits Australia’s energy needs 6 months ago:
Are there merits to investing in nuclear now?
A nuclear plant would take the best part of 20 years to build and has at least a 40 year lifespan. It’d be competing not against today’s solar and batteries but against 2040’s solar and batteries on day one. And it’d need to be profitable until 2070.
It would have been great to have invested in nuclear in the 80s, but we didn’t. Like hydrogen cars, it could have been great but we’ve moved past it already.

This. It isn’t supposed to succeed, it’s supposed to drag on for decades eating up all the money that could have built renewables.
