- Comment on Why Didn't Democrats Do More When They Controlled Both Houses of Legislature, The White House, and The Supreme Court During Obama's First Term? 1 day ago:
because those are conservative democrats who thought there was still a sensible republican party "to work with"
most of Obamas "accomplishments" were republican sourced ideas.
the democrats haven't acted progressively in many decades. Obama was a lame duck from day 1

- Comment on Too soon? 1 week ago:
youre not alone. this is a common misconception because of the catchphrase created at the time 'drinking the kool-aid'

wrong mascot. youre looking for whatever flavor-aid uses.
e. maybe kool aid man here is late to the party?
- Comment on How does harddrive failure work when there's multiple partitions? 1 week ago:
its a configuration thing... sounds like maybe linux has detected the SMART errors and acted accordingly on its managed partition. windows is not making the same choice.
- Comment on All cheap smartphones have a fingerprint sensor but all laptops dont have one. Why? 1 week ago:
money. laptop assembly lines are very diversified even within the same line of laptops to include/not include components to save on price. phones are more fully integrated preventing such customization.
ie, it saves money. you want it, you get to pay for it
- Comment on Why does the government of the USA stand by the country of Israel? 2 weeks ago:
because they created as a reason to have a strong military base in the mideast.
the us doesnt really give a shit about jews. its about military power.
- Comment on So we currently have all these left wing folks claiming men are more dangerous than bears, why is the same group pushing multi gender washrooms so hard? 2 weeks ago:
because they arent related.
ie, if men are so terrible why do we have them teach children? the entire premise is insipid... child-like in its ignorance.

i feel like vr will have an actual purpose and general utility about the same time we bring those in-development fusion reactors online.
until then its niche/entertainment only.

4 kids. Never paid for cable or Disney or any streaming service.. there are other paths
- Comment on Why are SMS messages so expensive? 3 weeks ago:
its crazier than you think... the original sms messaging was sent over an already existent, in process data path.. they didnt really have to add much to the system to accommodate it, yet charged an obscene amount per message
the answer is simple; because they can

there is a slight variation in the color of the disk about halfway through it. then ya subtract a bit for the geometry in that there is more data in the outer rings because they are wider. it writes from insider->out
- Comment on Smothsinian 4 weeks ago:
the ones ive seen were all little driver disks that came with some peripheral
- Comment on Smothsinian 4 weeks ago:
This also made me curious... like 40% of the disk is used...so around 250mb maybe?
- Comment on Smothsinian 4 weeks ago:
Minidiscs are why every optical drive had a little divot for the smaller size. I only ever saw 2 disks in 30 years
- Comment on European mind cannot comprehend this 4 weeks ago:
insurance has a profit motive here in the united states. insurance companies only make money when they cause human suffering by denying claims.
we in the US have decided businesses are allowed to hurt people for profit.
- Comment on European mind cannot comprehend this 4 weeks ago:
even with insurance, in the US you can easily lose absolutely everything you own to a medical emergency.
insurance just gets you in the front door so they can tell you later how very fucked you are.
I know a guy that realized it was better for his family financially to just kill himself rather than pursue cancer treatments. go usa.

when you see someone use 'job creator' seriously, you can almost always just assume the speaker is a terrible human being.
- Comment on Why do we castrate animals instead of giving them vasectomies? 1 month ago:
efficiency. i bet its 10 times quicker to lop them off than surgically tie the tubes
- Comment on Microsoft Outlook and Auto-Replies 1 month ago:
i have to agree to disagree here. in my career i have seen far, far too many people with their out of office message long out of date, and still running after they are back. this is a very useful feature that has cut back on those experiences significantly.

shite post
- Comment on People are, as a rule, small and obedient creatures. They like to be told what to do. Shortsighted and small-minded. And, in packs, vicious yapping beasts. How do you resolve this? 2 months ago:
i think the term youre looking for is 'socially structured species'. no real reason to describe it like you do though.. not sure why you needed to use those leading terms

- Comment on How does lemmy differ from reddit? 2 months ago:
Are the upvotes and downvotes I make, private? If I report a comment, is my report private?
no>Can someone follow me across lemmy instances based on my username?yes
>If I want to make a community, is there a reason I would choose one lemmy over another?no
>Are the powers of moderators similar to reddit's?somewhat, lemmy is still kind of new. mod abilities are being expanded.
Where can I find a list of most active lemmy instances?
Any other differences from reddit I should know about?
lemmy cannot use the 'microblog' part of the fediverse (tweeting, communicating to Mastodon)
i use mbin for this reason. it can do both. https://moist.catsweat.com
